FAQs

What USB version does this cable support?

This cable supports USB 2.0 data transfer speeds and is backward compatible with USB 1.1.

Can this cable be used for charging a device?

The cable is suitable for power transfer to compatible devices, such as powering a printer or scanner that draws power via its USB port.

What devices does the Type B connector fit into?

The Type B connector is the standard square-ish USB port commonly found on printers and scanners.

Is the cable length adjustable?

No, the cable is a fixed 1-meter length.

How do I clean the cable connectors?

Gently wipe the gold-plated connectors with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using any liquids or abrasive materials.

Will this cable work with my new USB-C laptop and an older printer?

Yes, if your older printer has a standard USB Type B port, this cable will connect your USB-C laptop to it for printing and scanning.

What does 'braided' and 'metal housing' mean for durability?

'Braided' refers to the outer sleeve of the cable, made of woven nylon, which protects against fraying and tangles. 'Metal housing' refers to the connector casings being made of metal, offering stronger protection than plastic.

Troubleshooting

Printer/scanner not recognized

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged in. Try a different USB Type-C port on your computer. Verify that the printer/scanner is powered on and its drivers are installed correctly. Test with another USB Type B cable if possible to rule out a printer issue.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm that both the computer's USB-C port and the printer's USB-B port support USB 2.0 speeds. Ensure the cable is not damaged. Close unnecessary applications that may be consuming system resources. Clean the gold-plated contacts gently with a dry cloth.

Intermittent connection drops

Check that the cable is not bent sharply or under strain. Ensure the metal housing of the connectors is making good contact. Minimize the proximity of other electronic devices that could cause interference.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with braided cable and metal housing.
  • Gold-plated connectors ensure reliable data transfer.
  • Shielding reduces interference for cleaner signals.
  • Backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices.
  • Versatile for both data and power needs.

Cons

  • Specific Type-B connector limits compatibility to devices with that port.
  • USB 2.0 speeds may be slower than newer USB standards for very high-throughput devices.
  • 1-meter length may be too short for some setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the USB Type-C end into your laptop or PC and the USB Type B end into your printer or scanner. Most operating systems will automatically detect the device and install necessary drivers. Ensure your printer or scanner is powered on.

Compatibility: This cable connects a USB Type-C Male Plug to a USB 2.0 Type B Male Plug. It is compatible with any device featuring a USB Type-C port and any peripheral device (printers, scanners) featuring a standard USB Type B port. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable. Keep connectors clean and free from dust. Store in a dry place when not in use. Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth; do not use harsh chemicals.
