Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work with my Yamaha or Casio digital piano?

Yes. The USB 2.0 Type-B end is designed for digital pianos, MIDI controllers, and electric keyboards from brands like Yamaha and Casio, plus BOSS guitar amps and DJ controllers.

Can I plug this into my Android phone to print?

No. CableCreation notes the USB-C side must connect to a Type-C or Thunderbolt 3 PC or laptop. An Android phone or tablet will not drive the printer directly, though a Windows tablet works.

How fast does it transfer data?

Up to 480 Mbps, the USB 2.0 High-Speed ceiling. That is enough for print jobs, document scans, and MIDI data, and CableCreation positions it as more reliable than going over Wi-Fi.

Do I need to install a driver?

Not for the cable itself. Your printer or scanner may still need its own driver on macOS or Windows, downloadable from that manufacturer's site.

How long is the cable and is there a warranty?

It is 6.6 feet, or 2 meters / 79 inches. CableCreation includes a 24-month product replacement policy with customer support.
