Cable Matters USB C to USB B 3.0 Cable - 3.3ft, USBB to USBC Cable with Type-B 3.0 Connector, Black

I have a media server which now operates using multiple internal and external drives. The external are all in USB enclosures connected via a USB-C hub. All the enclosures (different manufacturers) use this "odd" USB plug design. I needed some slightly longer cables and these worked out just great. No issues with speed degradation etc when copying to the drives or when backing them up so pleased with the quality.

I bought this to use with a powered USB hub that attaches to my Windows 11 computer. It works great. The speed is fine.

I have most of my PC peripherals plugged into a powered USB hub with a B output - I wanted to use a USB C connection for it. I also wanted to have it quite a few feet from my desktop tower to minimise wires.This cable worked perfectly. Had the length I needed and a strong hold connection. Can’t go wrong for the price! All my peripherals connected smoothly to my PC with no issues via the hub!

UPDATE: 5 stars. Cable Matters contacted me and made things right. First, they shipped me a replacement cable free-of-charge. Unfortunately, that one did not show any improvement with my particular drive. When I let them know, they issued a full refund no questions asked. So while this product did not work as I required for my particular device, I could not have asked for any better customer service. So my experience suggests there's no risk in trying this product if it's what you're looking for.ORIGINAL 2-STAR REVIEW:I purchased this cable to connect my OWC Mercury Elite Pro USB 3 Enclosure to my 2017 iMac. Physically, the cable works fine -- on one end plugging into the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C compatible) port on the back of my iMac, and the other end plugging into the USB Type B port on my external drive. I expected this arrangement to support USB 3 "up to 5 Gbps" connection which is advertised in the product description, in order to get maximum performance out of my external drive.However, when using this cable to connect my drive, the drive reports itself (via macOS System Report) as having a max speed of 480Mbps which is USB2 speed not USB3. To check the drive itself, I connected it with the standard USBA/B cable that came with the drive, and it reports itself as having max speed to 5 Gbps which is true USB 3. So I know the drive/enclosure itself supports the faster speed.I've included images of both macOS system reports.This cable will not work for me as I need maximum performance for my external drive.NOTE: I also know the problem isn't the Thunderbolt 3 connector on my computer. Using a USB C to Micro-B 3.0 cable on the same Thunderbolt 3 port on my Mac, I am getting full USB 3 speed on a separate external drive which uses the Micro-B connector.

Purchased this to connect a regular USB3 hub to a USB-C port on a dock. The larger end of the cable (the USB-B end) would not plug into the dock, and upon closer inspection I saw that it was crushed a bit, bent out of shape (and did not appear to be shipping damage). I was going to return it, but I was able to bend it back into usable shape with a screwdriver. Works fine.

Always quality cords from CableMatters!Super glad to have a USB-C to B cable now, instead of just the typical USB-A to B

Products seems well enough made. I've had no issues with it. Works fine feeding a USB 3 hub in my monitor from a USBC port on my Mac Mini.

I got it today, plugged it in and it works perfectly. I went to Staples in person but they did not have it. Now I can use my hub to see my laptop screen on the monitors again! This will help with the neck pains I've had from tilting my head down for so many hours at a time. Whoo hoo! It's a small thing that makes a big difference if you work on a laptop many hours a day. It's also a little bit of a challenge to find because I needed a USB-c connector. 5 stars all the way!
