Interfaces Overview
All of VersaSync's interfaces are integrated into the unit's connectors, which are located on the front panel:
VersaSync front panel connectors
Note: VersaSync is highly configurable and the connections can be adjusted many different ways. Your interface configuration may vary based on options you selected during the ordering process.
The following interfaces are provided:

10 MHz outputs can be disabled. See The 10 MHz Outputs for more information.
For additional information on configuring pinouts, see Connectors and their Pinouts and Configure I/O Settings.
Other Interfaces
- USB serial equivalent: CLI interface (Connector 4)
Note: The rear panel contains a small breather vent designed to prevent a large pressure differential (1.4psi max) between the interior of the unit and environment. Users are advised to avoid blocking this vent.
