An ID TECH USB converter cable takes keyboard wedge output from a PSC laser scanner and converts it to USB/Keyboard input, allowing the connection of a keyboard interface device to the USB port of a host computer. By plugging the coiled cable (which extends to a length of eight feet) directly into the scanner in place of an ordinary cable, and the other end of the converter into one of the host's USB input ports, data from the scanner will appear to the host as if entered via the keyboard.
