3 Introducing the components

3.1 GigaSwitch 11/20G (Part No. 0000/3229)

The GigaSwitch 11/20G is the basic unit in the multiswitch range. The GigaSwitch 11/20G provides distribution of the Intermediate Frequency signal to 20 participants, including provi- sion of power to the LNBs. In larger installations it also provides the power for the cascade multiswitch GigaSwitch 11/20K, for the distributor 9V and for the intermediate amplifier 9Z. When installing a cascade system of several components, please ensure that the maximum power voltage is not exceeded (see technical specifications).

3.2 GigaSwitch 11/20K (Part No. 0000/3228)

The GigaSwitch 11/20K is the cascade unit in the multiswitch range. This unit receives its power supply from the basic unit GigaSwitch 11/20G. The GigaSwitch 11/20K unit can thus only be used in conjunction with the basic unit. The GigaSwitch 11/20K is inserted between the LNBs and the basic unit, with each additional 11/20K unit providing connections for 20 participants.

The function of the cascade is to distribute the eight polarisation planes as well as the terre- strial signal further along the main connection, and to provide up to 20 participants with inde- pendent access to the selected band.
