“Tablets and mobile devices have become a mainstay in the
cockpit and it’s essential to ensure they’re powered and available
throughout an entire flight,” said Carl Wolf, Garmin vice president
of aviation sales and marketing. “The GSB 15 is the smallest
installed dual-port USB charger ever designed for aircraft use that
allows owners and operators to easily and economically add USB
power capability to their aircraft.”
Designed specifically for aircraft installations, the GSB 15
includes two powerful 18W (up to 3A) USB Type-A charging ports that
allow pilots and passengers to charge tablets and mobile devices in
the cockpit and throughout the cabin in the aircraft. A single GSB
15 is capable of charging two full-size tablets while using them at
full backlight. Optional halo lighting around the exterior of the
ports allows pilots and passengers to connect to the GSB 15 easily
during nighttime conditions.
Two versions of the GSB 15 are available and allow for easy
installation in space-constrained areas. One version contains a
connector on the back of the unit, which is perfect for panel mount
installations. A second variant has a connector on the bottom of
the GSB 15 and is ideal for installations in depth-constrained
areas, such as near cabin sidewalls. Installation is simplified as
the GSB 15 can take the place of an existing aircraft instrument
hole with an optional adapter plate. A slim, lightweight design
makes it suitable for installation in any cockpit.
The GSB 15 has received FAA certification, as well as European
approval and is expected to begin shipping next week. Customers can
purchase the GSB 15 through Garmin Authorized Dealers next week for
a list price of $349 USD. Garmin will also be featuring the GSB 15
next week at the Garmin exhibit during the 2019 EAA AirVenture
fly-in, in Oshkosh, Wis., July 22-28, 2019. For additional
