Why not label the ports and cables with:
It's future proof and doesn't need a decoder manual other than basic literacy. It can be in whatever language the fucking keyboard is. If you want to be redundant but even more clear:
Amps are not power
So do like they did for video and put 2A @ 5V on the label. Now you have power.
Edit: clarity
But if its USB PD it can be more than 5V though.
That's why you specify it there:
2A@5-15V or something.
