Overview

The Monoprice Palette Series USB Type-C to USB-B 2.0 Cable solves a common connectivity challenge: bridging a modern USB-C laptop or tablet to a peripheral that uses the standard USB-B port. Printers, scanners, audio interfaces, MIDI controllers, and other professional equipment frequently use USB-B connectors, and as more computers ship with only USB-C ports, a reliable adapter cable becomes essential. This 6-foot cable supports USB 2.0 data transfer speeds up to 480Mbps and delivers up to 2.4A of power, enough to operate bus-powered devices without issue.

Build quality sets this cable apart from generic alternatives. The braided exterior resists tangling and daily wear, maintaining a clean appearance and reliable connection over time. At 6 feet, the cable provides enough length to reach between a desk and a nearby printer or studio equipment without creating excessive cable clutter. While it is limited to USB 2.0 speeds—which is perfectly adequate for printers, scanners, and most audio devices—users who require higher bandwidth for specialized peripherals should consider a USB 3.0 cable instead.
