How to use

Connect the USB-B end to the external device (printer, scanner or external drive) and plug the USB-C end into the host device (PC, notebook, USB hub or USB wall charger with data capability). Ensure both devices are powered on and that the host recognises the peripheral; install any required drivers if prompted by the operating system. For best performance use ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 on both host and device.

Recommendations

For stable high-speed transfers, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable. Use USB 3.2 Gen 1 capable ports on both ends and keep connectors clean and free of debris. If you experience reduced speeds, verify that both host and peripheral support USB 3.2 Gen 1 and that correct drivers are installed.
