Overview

The Player One USB2.0 Type-C to Type-B Cable is a 0.5-metre data lead with a USB Type-C connector at one end and a USB Type-B connector at the other. It is made from high-quality black braided wire. The short length suits a compact link on the imaging train — Player One lists it as suitable for connecting a guide camera to a Player One cooled camera's built-in USB hub.

Who It's For

This is a good match if you run a Player One cooled camera with an onboard hub and want a short, tidy lead to its guide camera or another USB-B device.

Key Features & Design

  • 0.5-metre length: a short run that keeps the connection tidy between two components on the same imaging train.
  • Type-C to Type-B connectors: a USB-C end and a USB Type-B device end.
  • Braided construction: high-quality black braided wire that resists tangling and wear.

Recommended Uses

Connecting a guide camera or USB-B device to a Player One cooled camera's onboard USB hub, and any short USB-C to USB-B run where a compact lead keeps the train tidy.

Compatibility & Accessory Notes

The cable pairs a USB Type-C port with a USB Type-B port and runs at USB2.0 speed. Player One lists it as suitable for connecting guiding cameras to their cooled cameras. If you are unsure whether it fits your camera hub and guide camera, send us the models and we will confirm before you order.

Good to Know Before You Order

  • Short 0.5-metre run: sized for a compact hub-to-device link, not for reaching from the scope to a distant computer.
  • Type-C to Type-B: one end is USB-C and the other USB Type-B, so both ports need to match your setup.
  • USB2.0 speed: the correct match for a USB2.0 guide camera or device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it difficult to set up?

No — the Type-C end plugs into the hub or host and the Type-B end into the device; the Type-C connector is reversible.

What is it best used for?

A short USB2.0 link between a guide camera or USB-B device and a Player One cooled camera's onboard USB hub.

Is there a longer version?

Yes — the same Type-C to Type-B cable is offered in a 1-metre length for a longer run.

Will it fit my setup?

If one device has a USB-C port and the other a USB Type-B port, yes. Send us the models and we will check first.

Bottom Line

In short: a 0.5-metre USB2.0 Type-C to Type-B lead in durable braided wire, sized for a compact link such as a guide camera to a Player One cooled camera hub.
