StarTech.com USB-C to USB-B Cable - M/M - 2 m (6 ft.) - USB 3.0

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you need a straightforward way to link a modern USB‑C laptop to an older USB‑B device (think some printers, scanners, lab gear, or legacy peripherals), this StarTech 2 m USB‑C to USB‑B cable is a decent, no-drama option. StarTech tends to be reliable on the “it just works” front, and the extra length helps in real offices where desks aren’t always next to the equipment. At £12.96 ex‑VAT, it’s priced like a practical spare or standardisation cable rather than a premium “quality tax” job.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you don’t actually need USB‑B specifically. Many people assume “USB cable” is interchangeable and then get stuck when their device expects a different connector type or mode. Also, depending on the USB‑B device, some setups can be touchy with hubs, docking stations, or adapters—so if you’re deploying across multiple workstations, test one first or plan for variability. Overall: good value for the right, clearly identified legacy USB‑B use case; unnecessary (and potentially annoying) if your device situation isn’t nailed down.
