The Siemens 5TG2022-1 is the gray variant of the DELTA m-system USB 2.0 socket — electrically and mechanically identical to the white 5TG2022-0, but finished in gray for darker frame environments. It is a 1-fold Type A female insert that extends a USB 2.0 connection through in-wall cabling, typically connecting room-side peripherals to rack-side hosts. The rear connection uses 5-core screw terminals.

Gray vs white — how different are they?

The only difference between 5TG2022-1 (gray) and 5TG2022-0 (white) is the color of the plastic faceplate. Electrically, dimensionally, and functionally identical — same USB 2.0 Type A connector, same 5-core screw terminals, same 55×55mm format, same 70×35mm footprint. The gray variant is designed for DELTA frames in anthracite, carbon metallic, or aluminum metallic finishes where a white insert would visually clash.

Which DELTA frame finishes pair best with the gray insert?

The gray 5TG2022-1 is the recommended match for anthracite, carbon metallic, aluminum metallic, and silver DELTA frame finishes. In the Siemens DELTA color system, gray communication inserts are the dark-frame companion to the white inserts designed for titan white and electric white frames. The color difference is purely cosmetic — there is no performance or specification reason to choose one over the other.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this USB 3.0?

No — this is USB 2.0 (High Speed, 480Mbps). USB 3.0 devices will work but at USB 2.0 speeds. The physical connector has four contacts (VBUS, D+, D-, GND) — the additional five SuperSpeed contacts in USB 3.0 Type A are not present.

Can this socket charge a phone?

Only at the low current the host PC provides — typically 500mA. This is a passive data socket, not a charger. It connects through to whatever USB host is on the other end of the cable and draws power from that host. For dedicated USB charging from a wall socket, use a powered USB charger insert instead.
