The Siemens 5TG2022-0 is a DELTA m-system flush-mounted USB 2.0 socket — a 1-fold Type A female insert for permanent USB connectivity through in-wall cabling. It is not a charger — there is no power conversion electronics inside. It is a passive data socket that extends a USB connection from one side of the wall to the other, typically connecting a room-side USB device (printer, scanner, USB stick, camera) to an equipment-side USB host in an adjacent room or rack. The rear connection uses 5-core screw terminals for landing a USB cable.

5TG2022-0 or 5TG2022-1 — what is the difference?

Color. The 5TG2022-0 is white (near RAL 9010), the 5TG2022-1 is gray. Specifications, dimensions, terminal layout, and USB standard are identical. Choose the color that matches your frame and wall plate. This is the same -0/-1 pattern as the HDMI (5TG2020) and VGA (5TG2021) sockets in the DELTA m-system range.

Is this a charger or a data socket?

A data socket — not a USB charger. There is no 5V power supply, no rectifier, no charging controller inside. The socket passively connects the four USB 2.0 signal lines (VBUS, D+, D-, GND) plus shield through screw terminals to a standard USB cable. Whatever host is on the other end of the cable provides the power and enumerates the device. If you need a wall socket that charges phones and tablets without a host, you need a USB power supply insert — this is not it.

Can I use this with USB 3.0 or USB-C devices?

The socket is USB 2.0 Type A — it has four contacts. USB 3.0 devices are backward-compatible and will work, but at USB 2.0 speeds (max ~35MB/s real-world). The extra five pins that carry SuperSpeed data in USB 3.0 are not present, so a USB 3.0 flash drive plugged into this socket will negotiate down to USB 2.0. USB-C devices require a physical adapter (Type A to Type C cable) and will similarly fall back to USB 2.0 data rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can the USB cable be behind this socket?

Per the USB 2.0 specification, the maximum cable length is 5 meters. In practice, using good-quality shielded cable with proper twisted-pair construction, you can reach 5m reliably. Beyond that, use an active USB extension or a USB-over-Cat5 extender — do not splice passive cable and expect it to work.

Can I combine this with another module in the same frame?

Yes — DELTA frame holders accept up to two 55×55mm modules side by side. A common combination is one USB socket (5TG2022-0) plus one HDMI socket (5TG2020-0) or one VGA socket (5TG2021-0) in a dual frame for a complete AV+data wall plate.
