General description
GigaSync is designed to supply power to devices through the Power over Ethernet standard or directly through terminals.
It consists of a base unit that can house up to 3 expansion cartridges. The base unit contains the main interface and the
control systems, the cartridges define the supply power method: by PoE, bipolar terminals, or by 4-poles terminals.
Main features:
 9dot GigaKey, manages different kinds of PoE injection with the different pinouts avoiding the typical errors with
jumpers or microswitches.
 Hot-swap modularity, can manage up to 12 ports (PoE or bipolar terminals)
 The dual processor guarantees an interrupted operation of the unit in all the situations
 Remote management: save time and reduce the installation costs
On the front, there is a group of 3 LEDs that indicates the status of the unit.
Each PoE cartridge has 4 pairs of ports: injectors to power and synchronize devices at the bottom, while the ports at the
top correspond to the network connectors for connecting the LAN.
Each terminal’s cartridge has 4 connectors to power and protect the devices to be connected.

GigaSync features
Simple installation
The installation is immediate: the base unit has a local Wi-Fi hotspot for the first configuration that can be done very simply
through a smartphone.
Hot-swap modularity
The GigaSync base unit can house up to 3 cartridges, each equipped with 4 output ports. This can be chosen from PoE
injectors or power supply terminals according to needs and inserted or removed hot, during normal operation: the detection
of removal and insertion is automatic, without the need for user intervention.
Always alive
The design of a dual processor ensures uninterrupted operation of the unit in all situations, including rebooting after
firmware update. The great optimization of the product has made it possible to obtain a zero voltage drop between input
and output, as well as the reduction of self-consumption, allowing the product to be without cooling fans.
Compact design
The modular unit can manage up to 12 ports (that can be PoE or power terminals).
The innovative CPU has a new integrated web interface, shell SSH and SNMP, as well as a black box for warnings and
critical event logs. Finally, it is equipped with a Wi-Fi connection via built-in Wi-Fi.
Cambium Networks synchronization
GigaSync can insert into the PoE ports the sync pulse used by Cambium Networks devices to sync the transmission.
Manages any type of PoE
Each port can be configured to handle a different type of injection map, with or without sync pulse. The configuration of
the power supply pinout is simple and does not require any IT skills: just insert the specific electronic GigaKey and the port
is configured.
Certified partners
GigaSync is an injector capable to power any device in a range from 24V to 56V through special terminals.
It is also equipped with standard PoE technology, to power any type of PoE solution.
To offer increasingly heterogeneous and compatible solutions, we have also certified our product with the main vendors in
the TLC world, such as Cambium Networks, Ceragon, and Intracom Telecom, who have tested their solutions both in the
laboratory and in the field.
Multiple and redundant temporization source
GigaSync has a built-in GPS receiver and can act as a master or slave with other units such as GigaSync or uGPS, cnPulse,
and CMM5 (of Cambium Networks).
More power
Up to 3A (145W@48V) each port PoE or power supply terminal.
Easy integration
The controller module can be integrated into any management system via SNMP, which has been completely redesigned
with security and functionality improvements. In addition, the integration of the API management system is flexible and
simplified.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
 (*) The typical current of 3 A per port can be achieved if the PoE configuration chosen to power a device is through
one of the GigaKey: GS-K-AB or GS-K-9.S because they both use all four pairs of conductors for power. If instead,
we use the other GigaKeys: GS-K-B or GS-K-BR, the typical current per port will be 1.5A
4
.
 (*) (**) Note that although each port supports a certain current, the total consumption of all ports will be limited by
the typical power of the module
5
.
Examples :
Suppose we have a GS-G-POE cartridge with GigaKey GS-K-AB or GS-K-9.S installed in it. According to the technical
specifications of this cartridge, each port can power a device that consumes up to 3A and this is true. However, special
care must be taken because in this case the total current will be limited by the typical cartridge current, which is 6A.
In this way, we can connect up to four devices so that the typical total current of 6A is not exceeded.
In other words, in the given example, we will be able to connect to the cartridge:
o Up to two devices that consume 3A
o Four devices that consume 1.5A
o Two devices that consume 2A and two that consume 1A
o And any other possible configuration without exceeding the consumption of 6A
If, on the other hand, we choose the GS-G-POE-CS cartridge with GigaKey GS-K-AB or GS-K-9.S, in the base unit GS-G-
V3 (version 3), we will be able to power up to 4 devices that consume a total of 12A.

Installation
The GigaSync is designed for installation in a 19” rack cabinet, however, the fixing tabs can be rotated 90° for wall mounting.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use only the fixing screws supplied with the device for fixing the fins; the use of different fixing screws
can cause irreparable damage to the device.
For the correct operation of the surge arresters, is essential to ground the rack cabinet and connect the grounding terminal
on the back.
To install the cartridges, simply remove the metal covers that protect the slots on the Base Unit and insert the cartridges,
making sure they are fully inserted.
The cartridges can be fixed to the base structure with the supplied fixing screws. Likewise, the main connector offers
enough strength to prevent them from inadvertently pulling out. To remove the cartridge, firmly pull the removal handle.
The quick installation procedure is below:
 (Optional) Install rack mount adapters
 Wire the power supply
 Connect the power supply pins of the power supply to the GigaSync paying attention to the polarity adopted
 (Optional) Insert the GigaSync in the structure used to house the devices
 Insert the cartridges in the appropriate sections of the GigaSync taking care to insert them in the correct direction
(Remember that the GigaSync cartridges can be inserted and removed even when hot)
 Connect the power supply to the electricity
 Do a network configuration setup

Figure 11 – Blocks diagram of the GigaSync electronic design
Blocks diagram
The electronic design shows the presence of three main structures:
El diseño electrónico muestra la presencia de tres estructuras principales:
 (•) a CPU guarantees the correct operation of all the basic electronics and performs the voltage and current
measurement
 (•) another different CPU manages the user interface
 (•) the power components are isolated from the rest
The following is a schematic detail of the GigaSync design structure.
* Functions present only in cartridges POE-CS and TER-CS
** Functions present only in cartridges POE and POE-CS
The four power inputs (three corresponding to the cartridges and the other to the main power supply of the base unit), are
accessible through two redundant connectors, are isolated from each other and no conversion is made to the applied
voltage. In this way it is possible to simultaneously connect different types of voltages and different polarities, for example:

Power through terminals
The base unit can be powered through the main input, via redundant terminals.
The main input of the base unit has an isolated DCDC converter that powers the two CPUs. In this way, maximum immunity
against over voltages present in the power lines is guaranteed.
Unlike the power supply for cartridges, the main input allows polarity reversal, that is, a negative voltage can be connected
to its terminals without problems.
Input power cartridge
Each cartridge is powered through 2 redundant terminals. The cartridge power inputs are equipped with reverse polarity
protection: in case of incorrect connection, the corresponding cartridge will not receive power without causing damage to
the base unit or connected devices. They also have a transient voltage suppressor called TVS.
The power supply is individual for each cartridge, that is, each pair of connectors is isolated from the rest and from the
power supply of the base unit. No conversion is applied to the input voltage and there is no isolation between input and
output.
