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.

Base unit
The base unit can house up to 3 cartridges in the housings provided.
On the front are visible the OPT function button and the 3 LED monitors: SYNC, STATUS, and ALARM. To install the
cartridges, we simply have to remove the metal cover and insert the desired cartridge fixing it to the base with screws
(supplied with each cartridge).
In this connector, it is possible to connect an external GPS antenna that will be used to generate the synchronization pulses.
Grounding connector to protect people and equipment. For the correct operation of the dischargers, it is necessary to
connect the ground terminal GND.
Can be seen in the redundant power supply connectors of the base unit and the respective cartridges. Each supply is
independent, isolated, and equipped with reverse polarity protection. They have a power indicator LED.
It also has SYNC INPUT and SYNC OUTPUT ports used respectively to acquire or replicate the synchronous pulse.
The base unit can also be powered via the Ethernet connector, compatible with passive PoE.

Unit base label
This device will have a label attached with relevant information as described below.
As we can see, on the label it is indicated:
 The product code: GS-B-V3, with a brief description.
 The serial number that also will be used to detect the SSID Wi-Fi signal of the type “GSvx_#serial”
 The software ID is a unique identification of the device.
 Indications by the standards FCC, CE e RoHS.
 The indications of power requirements and the operating temperature range.
The image of the garbage container indicates that this equipment should not be placed in household containers. Instead,
it must be disposed of properly in compliance with current regulations.

Cartridges
Two types of cartridges are available that allow powering various devices:
1.
Through power supply terminal
a. GS-G-TER
b. GS-G-TER-CS: able to inject the synchrony impulse
2. Through Power over Ethernet
a. GS-G-POE
b. GS-G-POE-CS: can also insert the sync pulse.
Injector Gigabit cartridge: GS-G-POE | GS-G-POE-CS
As we can see in the previous figure, each injector PoE cartridge is composed of 4 LAN ports on the top and 4 PoE ports
on the bottom. This cartridge is compatible with GS-B-V2 and GS-B-V3.
Each PoE port has signaling LED that provides information on the status of the port on any faults and, in the case of the
POE-CS version, on the type of synchronization chosen.
On both sides, there are slots for inserting GigaKey keys that allow you to select the output pin of the PoE port without the
use of micro switches to provide PoE to a wide range of devices.
Through the main connector located behind, the module is connected to the internal electronics of the GigaSync.
