The Cables Direct USB-C to USB-B Printer Cable is the ideal connectivity solution for professionals and home users who need to link modern USB-C equipped laptops or tablets to legacy peripherals like printers, scanners, and external hard drives. This cable offers a significant speed advantage by supporting data transfer rates up to 10Gbps, ensuring your workflow remains efficient and uninterrupted; however, users should note that the cable is limited to a 1-meter length, which may necessitate keeping devices in close proximity to their workstation.

This specific variant is 1 meter long.
No, this is a passive cable and requires no drivers; it works via plug-and-play.
Yes, it can be used with a powered USB-C hub, provided the hub supports the necessary data throughput.
Disconnect and reconnect both ends of the cable firmly; ensure the computer's USB-C port is data-enabled and not power-only.
Check that the peripheral device is compatible with USB 3.0 speeds; ensure the cable is connected to a high-speed USB-C port on your computer.
Inspect the cable for physical damage or sharp kinks and verify that the ports on your printer or scanner are clear of debris.
To set up this cable, simply insert the USB-C end into your computer, tablet, or hub, and connect the USB-B end into your peripheral device. The cable is designed for standard USB 3.0 Type-B ports, which are commonly found on printers, scanners, and multi-port docking stations. To maintain the life of the cable, avoid bending the cord at sharp angles near the connectors, as this can cause internal wire fatigue. Keep the ports clean and free of dust, and disconnect by holding the connector housing rather than pulling on the cable itself to prevent strain on the internal solder joints.
