IBM 12V Powered USB to 2×3 6-Pin Scanner Cable
IBM 12V Powered USB to 2×3 6-pin IBM scanner cable; also 12V Powered USB to DC 5.5 x 2.1 mm variant. Foil + braid shield, PVC jacket, OEM length.
Overview
IBM 12V Powered USB to 2×3 6-pin (2 rows of 3 pins) scanner cable, plus the IBM 12V Powered USB to DC 5521 variant. The IBM 12V Powered USB receptacle is the lower-power cousin of the 24V version and is used on IBM SurePOS and other IBM point-of-sale systems for low-power peripherals. The 2×3 6-pin connector is the legacy IBM scanner plug; the DC 5521 is a 5.5 x 2.1 mm DC barrel.

Construction and Materials
One 28 AWG twisted pair for the USB 2.0 data lines (D+ / D-) individually foil-shielded, one 22 AWG pair for the 12 V DC power (V+ / GND), all wrapped in an overall foil + braid shield with drain wire. The jacket is a PVC compound. The IBM 12V Powered USB end is a latching 8-pin plug; the device end is the 2×3 6-pin IBM scanner plug or a DC 5.5 x 2.1 mm barrel.
Typical Applications
- IBM SurePOS 12V Powered USB port to legacy 2×3 6-pin scanner
- IBM Retail point-of-sale peripherals on the 12V Powered USB rail
- 12V Powered USB port to DC 5.5 x 2.1 mm DC device
- Replacement cable for the IBM 12V Powered USB environment
Compatibility and Fitment
Compatible with the IBM 12V Powered USB receptacle on IBM SurePOS and other IBM point-of-sale hardware. The 2×3 6-pin device end is the legacy IBM scanner plug; confirm the scanner model before ordering. Not compatible with the 24V Powered USB variant. The cable is a compatible replacement and is not an OEM IBM product.
