Advantages

This USB-C to USB-B cable lets you use older peripherals such as printers and external hard drives with modern USB-C computers. The 3 m length provides flexible placement of connected devices while nickel-plated contacts reduce corrosion and improve connector longevity. The cable conforms to USB 2.0 signalling, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of legacy B-type devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers with USB-B ports to laptops or desktops with USB-C
• Connecting external hard drives and docking devices that use USB-B

How to use

Plug the USB-C end into the host device (computer or hub) and the USB-B end into the peripheral (printer, external drive, or other USB-B device).
