USB Type C Operation

USB Type C Operation

The devices implement a full capability 5 Gbps USB 3.0 USB Type C port with support for DisplayPort Alt Mode. The sealed port implements a standard USB Type C dual screw lock mechanism for secure connections. When paired with the IP67 series of Zebra screw locking cables, the interface maintains a full IP67 seal.
The sealing gasket on IP67 series Zebra USB Type C cables requires adequate pressure for proper seal and connector engagement. Always tighten the locking screws when using these cables, even if IP67 sealing is not required.
When connected as a peripheral to a USB host, the devices can be configured to support the following functionality:
  • RNDIS Ethernet over USB
  • USB-CDC or HID keyboard (configurable using Windows device settings)
When operating as a host, the USB Type C port supports many types of accessories and functionality, including:
  • Native USB-C displays
  • USB-C to Display Port and USB-C to HDMI adaptors
  • HID-compliant keyboards and trackpads
  • USB mass storage devices for firmware updates
  • USB docks and hubs
DisplayPort output is only supported over USB Type C to Type C cables capable of SuperSpeed data rates. High-speed charging cables typically do not have the necessary data wires for DisplayPort functionality.
