StarTech.com USB-C to USB-B Cable - M/M - 2 m (6 ft.) - USB 2.0

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

StarTech’s USB‑C to USB‑B (2 m) is a pretty safe, boring choice—exactly what you want when you’re trying to stop connectivity issues from wasting your time. The build quality is usually solid for the price, and at £12.94 ex‑VAT you’re not paying “premium” money for what is essentially a dependable length of cable. This is the kind of lead that works well for older peripherals that still speak USB‑B (think printers, certain lab/test gear, scanners, and docking scenarios where the device side is USB‑B).

That said, it’s also a cable with a very specific purpose. If your device uses USB‑A or USB‑B but you’re not sure which connector it actually has, don’t guess—this is only useful when you genuinely need USB‑B on one end and USB‑C on the other. Also, since it’s USB 2.0, it’s not the move for anything bandwidth-hungry (large data transfers, external drives, etc.). If you’re buying for office printing/scanning or device peripherals, it’s a good value buy; if you need faster transfers or the wrong port type, you’ll just create admin hassle for no gain.
