Connection Descriptions
USB-
C “Mobile Device” Data & Power Output
The “Mobile Device” receptacle is a standard USB-C receptacle, which is used for the
connection between the eSynC and a tablet or mobile phone. This connection provides a power
and data connection to the device.
When the eSynC is not powered, the device is not expected to provide power to the eSynC. This
behavior is deliberate to avoid the device accidentally being drained of power by the eSynC and
attached peripherals.
The cable should not exceed the 2 meter (6.6 foot) limit defined by the specifications. The cable
need not be electronically marked due to the current levels involved.
The USB-C cable
must support both data and charging.
It does not matter which end of the cable is attached to the device or the eSynC product.
USB-
C “Power Adapter” Input
The “Power Adapter” input is a USB-C receptacle on eSynC products without Power over
Ethernet or a built-in voltage converter. This input provides power for the eSynC product, the
device, and for attached USB accessories.
The eSynC product does not function if power has not been applied to the Power Adapter input.
The eSynC products are not intended to draw power from the mobile device.
A standard USB 5V DC Power Supply is attached to the Power Adapter input. A standard USB
power supply is rated at 5 volts nominal, with a 5.25 volts maximum. The typical current rating
is 2 amperes for a device with at least a 10-inch screen. A typical USB Power supply is rated at
10 watts (2 amperes at 5 volts DC).
The USB Power Supply provided with most Samsung devices is rated at 5.3 volts and 2 amperes.
When using the charge cable provided by Samsung, the voltage delivered to the end of the cable
will typically be from 5.0 to 5.1 volts. Some power supplies compensation for wire losses.
The voltage at this input should not be much below 5 volts. The preferred level is 5.1 to 5.25
volts.
The Adaptive Fast Charger being shipped with many Samsung devices is fully compatible. These
adapters are rated at 5 volts 2 amperes and 9 volts 1.6 amperes. The eSynC products
automatically use the 5-volt option.
