⚠️ Important Notice: USB 2.0 Type-B Port Only & Host Directionality

1. Standard USB 2.0 Type-B Port Only: Features a standard square USB 2.0 Type-B connector. It is NOT compatible with USB 3.0 Type-B ports (which have an additional top section). Please check your device port before purchasing.
2. Host-to-Device Directionality: The USB-C connector must connect to the host computer (MacBook, PC, laptop, tablet), and the USB-B connector connects to the peripheral printer, scanner, or musical instrument. It does not operate in reverse.
3. High-Speed 480Mbps Data: Operates at USB 2.0 transfer speeds up to 480Mbps. Stable wired printing eliminates network latency, printer queue drops, and distortion caused by unstable Wi-Fi.
4. MIDI & Audio Equipment Setup: Connects directly to compatible MIDI controllers, digital pianos, DACs, and DJ gear. Note that some specialized musical equipment may require device-specific drivers or software installed on your computer.
