Abstract
A removable adapter device is integrated into a cradle for holding a handheld scanner. The adapter device enables the cradle to be removed and reattached or removed and replaced with another cradle without needing access to or changing cables that connect the cradle to a host system. The adapter device provides a standardize configuration, connection, or both to allow simplified replacement of different manufacturer cradles and scanners without concern about the cable connection to the host system. The adapter device acts as an interface for data and power transmission between the cradle and the host system.
