Connect USB 3.0 peripherals to USB-C

This two-metre cable links USB 3.0 Type-B devices such as printers or external drives to computers equipped with USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 ports. The reversible Type-C plug inserts either way up, removing orientation frustration. Nickel-plated connectors and a PVC jacket provide durable everyday connectivity for home or office setups.

Sustained 5 Gbit/s transfer rate under continuous

Rated for USB 3.0 at 5 Gbit/s, the cable maintains full specification bandwidth during prolonged file transfers or streaming workloads. The 22/30 AWG conductors and shielded construction minimise signal degradation over the full length, so throughput remains stable when moving large datasets or running backups for extended periods.

Verify your device has a USB 3.0 Type-B port

This cable terminates in a USB 3.0 Type-B connector with nine pins, which is physically larger than the older USB 2.0 Type-B plug. Ensure the peripheral you intend to connect presents that exact port; cables with micro or mini connectors will not fit. No driver installation is required on the host side.

Questions about this item

How much heat or power does the 2 m USB 3.0 cable draw when a printer runs all day?

The cable is passive and carries only the 5 Gbit/s signal; it adds no measurable heat or power draw beyond the host and device requirements.

What port must my laptop already have for this USB-C to USB-B cable to work?

Your laptop needs a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port that supports USB 3.0 data; the reversible Type-C plug fits either orientation.

Will the 22/30 AWG conductors and nickel-plated connectors keep full 5 Gbit/s speed with an older USB 3.0 printer?

Yes, the cable meets USB 3.0 electrical specs, so a legacy USB 3.0 Type-B printer or drive runs at the rated 5 Gbit/s without degradation.
