downgraded to 2 stars upon additional review

This is a fairly inexpensive USB-C to USB-B cable. I saw a review that said it doesn't work with audio DJ gear so I was a little worried it might not work for me, but for the price I thought it was worth a try. As it turns out it works great with no issues between my audio interface and my laptop. It looks well built and should last a long time if not abused. It seemed normal at first, but after some time of use I noticed some clicks during recording. I increased the buffer size on my audio interface and that helped, but there were still occasional pops or drops. I went back to the old USB cable and was able to reset the buffer without popping or failing. So this cable appears to have bandwidth or latency issues, making it unsuitable for digital audio devices.

Pros
  • Legacy USB bc companion cable for connecting an existing USB 2.0 printer, scanner or external hard drive with a USB-B port to newer computers with a USB-C port; Supports Hi-Speed USB 2.0 data transfer rates up to 480Mbps; The USB-C to USB-B cable provides a faster and more secure Wi-Fi connection when printing or scanning important documents.
Cons
  • Available in black only.
