Introduction
The nSynC product line allows USB 2.0 peripherals or Ethernet to be attached to a mobile
device, while permitting simultaneous battery charging.
No software needs to be installed on the mobile device in order to use the LAVA product.
The nSynC-Staging adapter connects up to four mobile devices using standard USB-C to USB-C
cables provided by the user. The USB-C cables
must support both data and charging
. The
cables may be up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) in length. The cables need not be electronically marked,
as the current levels are always less than 3 amperes.
The unit is powered by a USB-C charger. If the mobile devices are capable of Fast Charging, the
adapter can charge them at 9 volts. Otherwise, the devices will charge at 5 volts.
The nSynC-Staging adapter features two modes: SimulCharge (where the mobile devices can
simultaneously charge and access data) and OTG (where the mobile devices run off battery
power but still have access to data through the adapter).
The nSynC-Staging adapter requires a 45W USB-C power supply or higher to run in
SimulCharge mode. This allows the adapter to be able to charge all four mobile devices at once.
If you are using a charger that is less than 45 watts, the unit will default to OTG mode.
SimulCharge also needs specific aspects of the USB-C Power Delivery (USB-C PD)
specification to be implemented on the mobile device. For a complete list of tested mobile
devices, please check the LAVA compatibility list. The link for this list is located on the nSynC-
Staging product page.
