USB cable Datalogic 90A052187 Type A Power Over Terminal, twisted, 5 m length

USB cable Datalogic 90A052187 Type A Power Over Terminal, twisted, 5 m length is a 5-metre USB Type A connection cable designed to deliver both data and terminal power for compatible Datalogic devices. The twisted construction reduces electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity across the extended length, while the Power Over Terminal functionality provides a method to supply power to connected peripherals without a separate power adapter. The cable is intended for installations that require longer reach between host systems and handheld scanners, POS terminals or fixed readers.

Advantages

The cable combines a standard USB Type A interface with Power Over Terminal capability, enabling simultaneous data transfer and power delivery over a single connection. Its twisted design improves resistance to interference and helps preserve reliable communication over the 5 m span. With a length suitable for counters, kiosks and scanning stations, the cable reduces the need for extra power supplies and simplifies cabling layouts.

Suitable for

• Retail POS setups requiring a longer connection between terminal and host
• Warehouse and logistics scanning stations linking scanners to local systems
• Fixed reader installations where power via terminal is preferred over separate adapters
• Environments needing a reliable 5 m USB connection with reduced interference

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for devices that support Power Over Terminal; it will not provide power to devices that do not implement this functionality. For applications needing USB standards beyond Type A pinout or for higher power delivery than the terminal supports, this cable may not meet requirements.

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB Type A
• Length: 5 metres
• Cable construction: twisted for reduced interference
• Functionality: data transmission with Power Over Terminal support
• Typical use: data and terminal power delivery between host and compatible devices

How to use

Connect the USB Type A end securely to the host or interface supporting Power Over Terminal and attach the other end to the compatible Datalogic device. Ensure both connected devices support the terminal power feature before applying power. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; use cable ties or clamps as needed to secure runs and prevent strain on connectors. Verify data communication and power delivery after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your Datalogic device and host support Power Over Terminal functionality
• Verify that a 5 m cable length suits your installation and does not exceed allowed USB length limits for your setup
• Check connector compatibility with your equipment (USB Type A)

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use this twisted 5 m cable in indoor commercial environments and avoid co-routing with high-voltage power lines. When installing in busy counters or warehouses, secure the cable to prevent accidental disconnection and periodically inspect connector contacts for debris or corrosion to maintain consistent data and power delivery.
