USB Plus Series
Powered USB Solutions
USB PlusPower technology saves space and simplifies retail
and medical system architecture by eliminating individual
power supply bricks for USB peripheral devices.
Overview
USB peripheral devices such as bar-code scanners, receipt
printers and signature capture devices are common elements of
traditional retail/POS systems. Many of these devices require
external power supply bricks, which can create a tangled mess
of cables and power strips. This takes up valuable space and
creates more potential points of failure. USB PlusPower, or
powered USB technology, was developed to eliminate external
power supply bricks for USB devices. Its unique cabling allows
USB devices to receive power from the USB PlusPower device
instead of external power supplies.
Migrating to USB PlusPower devices traditionally required a
specialized, expensive retail system. The USB Plus Series makes
it easy to connect powered USB peripheral devices to a basic
PC. The USB Plus Series can save space and simplify system
architecture by transforming a low-cost PC into a high-perfor-
mance, powered USB-compatible retail system. Each product
offers four powered USB ports with cable locking mechanisms,
which are also compatible with standard USB devices.
