UGREEN USB B to USB C 6 FT Printer Cable, Nylon USB B to C Cord for MacBook Pro/Air, MIDI Cable Compatible with Yamaha Piano
Overview
The UGREEN USB-B to USB-C 6 ft printer cable is a purpose-built lead for anyone who needs to connect newer USB-C laptops (MacBook Pro/Air and many Windows ultrabooks) to legacy USB Type-B devices like printers, scanners and MIDI keyboards. At 6 feet (1.8 m) with a braided nylon jacket and reinforced strain relief, it balances reach with durability for home offices, studios, and classrooms. It carries USB 2.0 data (up to 480 Mbps), provides bus power to peripherals, and uses gold‑plated connectors and shielding to reduce interference — making it a simple, plug‑and‑play solution to bridge modern computers with older gear such as Yamaha digital pianos or office printers. Note: it is not intended for USB 3.x SuperSpeed devices or high‑wattage USB-C power delivery.
