2. Your ThunderSync3-C10 at a glance

The ThunderSync3-C10 has been designed to provide high-speed data transfer to USB compliant

devices and expand the endpoint limits.

The ThunderSync3-C10 can charge attached USB devices without using a local computer. The

ThunderSync3-C10 allows any USB compliant device to be charged at its optimum rate (up to 3A). The

firmware can be updated to ensure the ThunderSync3-C10 can manage the latest devices. It is ready

to charge out-of-the-box and sync devices when attached to a host computer.

When a local (host) computer is attached, the host can control the operation of each port using

software provided by Cambrionix. Device charging and synchronisation can be

monitored through Cambrionix’s LiveViewer Application, the Application Programming Interface (API)

or Command Line Interface (CLI). Cambrionix’s monitoring and control software can be downloaded

from https://www.cambrionix.com/software

With your ThunderSync3-C10 there is a Thunderbolt™ 3 connection to the host capable of up to 5

(Gbps). The upstream data transfer rate will be shared amongst the downstream connections.

4. Getting Started

This manual provides a reference for end-users installing for the first time and using their hub

afterwards. As well as a guide for product safety-related information.

The ThunderSync3-C10 is intended to be used in an indoor static environment in which the

environment falls within the tested specifications to provide charge, sync and management

functionality. Please see the physical specifications section of this manual for information on the

environment specifications.

4.1. Unpacking your product

When you have received your product, please check the packing slip inside the box to ensure all

contents and quantities are correct before opening. This is to avoid retesting and repackaging any

items that are not required.

When opening the packaging, use a suitable method to open the box i.e, do not use a knife. This is to

ensure the product is not damaged.

CAUTION

Personal Injury and Damage to the product

There will be a label on the hub advising you to read the User manual before

use. This will need to be removed before use as it may be covering host ports,

vents etc.

4.3. Connecting to the mains

Connect the Power Supply Unit (PSU) to the hub using the 4 pin Mini-Din plug. Connect the power

cable to the PSU. Making sure you adhere to local safety regulations, connect the power cable to the

100 – 250 VAC mains power outlet and switch the hub on using the small power switch located

adjacent to the power input connector on the hub. When the device is switched on, a green LED next

to the power input will be illuminated. The hub is now ready to charge attached devices.

Periodic inspections should be made to power supply cables and any USB cables for any signs of

damage. If any damage is found, replace the damaged cord before further use.

4.4. Connecting to a Host

Once the power is connected, connect the ThunderSync3-C10 to your host system using a

Thunderbolt™ 3 cable. Using an incorrect host cable may result in the hub and all subsequent ports

not being recognised by your host.

Cambrionix recommend using the Thunderbolt™ cable that is provided with our ThunderSync3-C10. If

you are looking at purchasing your own cable, to achieve Gbps a suitable cable would be either:

lup to 0.8m passive

lup to 2m active.

Cambrionix recommend using cables certified by Intel®, all cables marked with the Thunderbolt™ logo

should have certification.

Only one host can be connected to a hub at one time.

Please note that USB specifications require a minimum 100 mA charge current to be available during

data transfer. As indicated in above, if the attached device has a BC1.2 compliant CDP port, the

device can draw up to 3A whilst transferring data.

4.5. Charging

Your ThunderSync3-C10 will allow your device to charge at the maximum rate possible up to 3A. The

way that charging takes place is the ThunderSync3-C10 will provide the device with a capability to

charge and the devices USB charging controller will determine the maximum amount of charge it

wants to draw down.
