GSB 15

Add USB Power and Charging to Your Aircraft

• Choose up to 27 watts of charging power per port with dual USB Type-C or USB Type-A/Type-C models or up to 18 watts of charging power per port with dual USB Type-A model
• Charge two full-size iPad^? tablets¹ or similar smart devices while using them
• Halo lighting around each USB port makes connections easy in dark conditions
• Offers easy installation in an existing instrument cutout with optional adapter plate
• Two power input options available ¡ª rear or side wiring connections ¡ª to help simplify installation in tight spaces such as armrests or sidewalls

In just a few short years, battery-powered mobile devices have become essential in-flight tools for pilots and their passengers alike. Pilots use their tablets or smartphones to access flight plans, moving maps, charts, weather data, manuals and more ¡ª while passengers access entertainment, messaging and all types of productivity apps on their devices. But, invariably, all these portable electronics need an external power source to keep them charged and ready to use over a long flight. That¡¯s where our GSB 15 USB charging hub makes all the difference.

Small and Simple to Install

All slimline GSB 15 charging hubs measure just over 1.5¡± square and stand less than an inch deep ¡ª making them among the smallest dual-port USB charging hubs ever designed for aviation use. They come in two formats: one designed to be wired into aircraft power from the back of the unit ¡ª and one that connects to aircraft power through the side (bottom) of the case. Choose the version that fits best with your application and its related space constraints.

Data Passthrough

If your aircraft is equipped with a GI 275 Flight Instrument you will also appreciate GSB 15 for its data transfer capabilities. Using a USB flash drive and the GSB 15, you can transfer databases to a GI 275 flight instrument. Databases will then also be synced among multiple GI 275 flight instruments in a single cockpit. In addition to database updating, GSB 15 can also be used to save flight logs ¡ª including engine data² ¡ª from the GI 275 to a USB flash drive.

Fits Tight Spaces and Budgets

You can mount GSB 15 virtually anywhere. It¡¯s small enough to fit a 1¡± cutout ¡ª and it¡¯s available with an optional 1¡± decorative cover or mounting plates that allow for easy installation in existing, unused 2.25¡± or 3.125¡± instrument holes in the panel. And all GSB 15 models use the same power input connector, so the USB Type-C equipped versions can be an easy upgrade from an existing dual Type-A installation³. GSB 15 has FAA TSO and, consequently, European approval. The device will fit in a variety of constricted spaces ¡ª such as aircraft sidewalls, armrests or aft console positions ¡ª where most aviation USB chargers are simply too large or unwieldy to install.
