USB 3.1 Type-C Male to USB-B Male Cable, 1 m

Newer laptops have retired every port except Type-C; the printer, scanner and audio interface on the desk still speak USB-B. This 1 m cable is the direct answer: a USB 3.1 Type-C male on the host end, a USB 3.1-class USB-B male on the device end, no adapter chain, no dongle to lose. Where both ends and the hosts support it, the USB 3.1 generation raises the ceiling to 10 Gbps — and on 3.0-class gear it drops gracefully to 5 Gbps, on 2.0 gear to 480 Mbps, always working.

Typical duty is the desk tether: the laptop that docks via Type-C, the office printer that will never be replaced until it dies, the audio interface whose B socket is part of its sound. A fixed 1 m length keeps the run tidy from laptop riser to desk device — long enough to route, short enough not to coil.

Key features

• USB 3.1 Type-C male to USB-B male, 1 m
• 10 Gbps-class SuperSpeed+ link on capable hosts
• Falls back cleanly to 5 Gbps / 480 Mbps gear
• Direct connection — no adapters or dongles
• Moulded, strain-relieved connector bodies
• Fixed 1 m desk length — routes without coiling

Specifications

An honest note on speeds: the B-end device sets the actual rate — a 2.0-rate printer through this cable transfers at 2.0 pace; the cable’s job is not to slow anything down that could go faster. Buyers with Type-C phones and chargers should note this is a B-male device lead, not a charging lead; the Type-C end here exists to speak to new hosts, not new phones.

Typical applications

• Type-C laptops to printers, scanners and B-socket gear
• Audio interfaces and MIDI gear on modern hosts
• Dock and monitor upstream B connections
