Host Interfaces and Cable Pinouts 2 - 3
USB Interface
Connecting
The MP70XX connects directly to a USB host. An additional power supply may be required 
(PWR-BGA12V50W0WW - power supply; CBL-DC-388A1-01 - DC cable). Only a USB Power Plus host can power 
the MP70XX using a Zebra Power Plus cable, without an external power supply.
Figure 2-1    USB Connections
There are three possible USB connection methods for the MP70XX:
• POS connection using USB Power Plus (12V); requires a CBA-U52-S16PAR cable between POS equipment 
(e.g., IBM) and the MP70XX POS RJ-45 connector. The MP70XX is a USB device for this connection; no 
power supply is required (the MP70XX draws power from USB cable).
• POS connection using USB Standard A (5V); requires a CBA-U51-S16ZAR cable between POS equipment 
(standard device - PC) and MP70XX POS RJ-45 connector. The MP70XX is USB device but requires an 
external power supply (MP70XX does NOT draw power from USB cable).
• AUX scanner connection using a Zebra USB hand-held scanner; requires a Zebra USB type A cable 
between the Zebra USB hand-held scanner (RJ-45), and the MP70XX AUX A-B USB port. The MP70XX is 
the USB host, and the Zebra scanner is the USB device which draws power from 5V cable.
