nLTS-vc2UE
SimulCharge™, Voltage Converter, Ethernet, 2 x USB Adapter for Lenovo Micro USB Tablets
$99.99 / Web Price
The nLTS-vc2UE provides compatible Lenovo Micro USB tablets* with SimulCharge, a built-in voltage converter, Ethernet and two USB-A ports for peripherals. SimulCharge™ ensures the mobile device can simultaneously access the adapter’s wired network connection and any USB peripherals attached to the adapter while it is charging. The adapter also features Docking Detect technology.
The nLTS-vc2UE can use an external DC power source, ranging from 9 to 36 volts. The DC-DC converter steps down the input voltage to a device-friendly 5 volts for use by the nLTS-vc2UE and mobile device.
How the nLTS-vc2UE Works
The nLTS-vc2UE adapter provides compatible Lenovo Micro USB tablets* with simultaneous charging and access to data (SimulCharge™). It features a built-in voltage converter, wired Ethernet connectivity, two USB-A ports for peripherals and Docking Detect technology.
The nLTS-vc2UE’s on-board DC-DC voltage converter can take a power input of between 9 and 36 volts** and steps it down to the 5 volts required by most mobile devices***. The adapter can be used to supply power in permanent and semi-permanent installations (adhering to local electrical codes) with minimal installation cost. This eliminates the requirement for a licensed electrician to install and run a dedicated AC power line.
Power at a Distance
The adapter can also be installed up to 50 ft (15 m) from the AC power source. This means it can be installed in locations with limited electrical outlets and provides greater options for mobile device placement. The nLTS-vc2UE’s Ethernet port provides a reliable 10/100-capable wired network connection and its USB-A ports allow you to connect up to two peripherals, such as a scanner and printer for a tablet kiosk setup.
Reliable Device Connection
Docking Detect ensures the “greeting” protocols between the SimulCharge adapter and mobile device are executed correctly and consistently every time they are connected.
This allows the adapter to be a plug-and-play technology that ensures the mobile device always operates in USB Host mode.
The adapter comes in a beige ABS casing that protects the electronics from mild shocks and impacts, allowing it to be used in different implementations. It ships with a Micro USB to Micro USB cable to connect the mobile device. This custom LAVA cable must not be extended or replaced with a third-party one. Doing so will cause the mobile device to stop working.
*The nLTS-vc2UE is not compatible with all Lenovo tablets. Please see the list of tested Lenovo devices.
**The 9-36V DC power supply is not included with the adapter and must be purchased separately.
***The tablet can also be powered through the adapter’s Micro USB-B port, which is rated for the standard 5 volts at 2 amps. It is recommended to use the charging cable that came with the tablet. A separate power supply is not included.
