Black Box USBC2TYPEB-1M USB-C to USB-B Cable, 1m, USB 3.2 Gen 1

The Black Box USBC2TYPEB-1M is a high-quality 1-meter USB-C to USB-B cable designed to provide a reliable connection between modern computing devices and peripheral hardware. This cable facilitates seamless data communication between devices equipped with a USB-C port, such as modern laptops or tablets, and legacy or specialized equipment featuring a USB-B interface, including printers, scanners, and external storage drives. Built to support USB 3.2 Gen 1 standards, it ensures stable performance for your daily office or home connectivity needs.

Advantages

This cable offers the convenience of a reversible USB-C connector, which eliminates the frustration of incorrect orientation during insertion. By bridging the gap between newer USB-C technology and standard USB-B peripherals, it allows users to continue utilizing existing hardware without the need for additional adapters or dongles. The 1-meter length provides sufficient reach for desktop setups while maintaining a tidy workspace, and the robust construction ensures consistent data transfer speeds of up to 0.48 Gbit/s.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers and scanners to USB-C laptops
• Linking external hard drives with USB-B ports to modern computers
• Connecting USB hubs to peripheral devices
• General data synchronization between USB-C and USB-B hardware

This cable may not be suitable for high-power charging requirements, as it is primarily designed for data communication and provides a limited power output of 500 mA. It is also not compatible with devices that require USB-C to USB-C connections or those using different interface standards like Micro-USB or Mini-USB.

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB-C Male
• Connector 2: USB-B Male
• Cable length: 1 meter
• USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 0.48 Gbit/s
• Color: Black

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the USB-C connector into the port on your computer, laptop, or hub. Because the USB-C connector is reversible, it can be plugged in regardless of its orientation. Then, connect the USB-B end into the corresponding port on your printer, scanner, or external drive. Once both ends are securely connected, your operating system should automatically detect the peripheral device, allowing you to begin data transfer or printing tasks immediately without the need for manual driver installation in most cases.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your peripheral device uses a standard USB-B port
• Ensure your computer or host device is equipped with a USB-C port
• Confirm that the 1-meter length is sufficient for your specific workspace layout
• Check if your device requires higher power delivery than the 500 mA provided by this cable

Usage recommendations: To maintain optimal performance and longevity, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles or placing heavy objects on top of it. Always disconnect the cable by pulling on the connector housing rather than the cord itself to prevent internal wire damage.
