Comtrol UK – Cailabs AROONA-STAR

Increase network bandwidth to 1-100 Gbps without replacing existing multimode infrastructure

Many LANs wired with multimode fiber are limited in bandwidth that cannot exceed 1 Gb/s, and therefore unable to meet the growing demand for increased network bandwidth.

AROONA-STAR is available in two different formats

AROONA-STAR is a quick and easy solution to increase your network bandwidth by converting multimode fibers into single-mode fibers, making it possible to overcome these bandwidth and upgrade limitations, transmitting tens of Gb/s over an existing multimode fiber structured cabling infrastructure.

It is available in two different options depending on the number of multimode fibers that require upgrading, as well as the available capacity in the existing infrastructure:

Compact module

Inserted into the existing patch panel.
2-fiber version

19" 1U rack

Inserted into the network cabinet.
4, 8, 12 or 24 fiber versions

2 – 10 times less expensive than optical fiber roll-outs

Increased multimode fiber transmission capacity and compatibility with standard equipment

From 1 Gb/s to 100 Gb/s on multimode fibers over up to several kilometers
Compatible with OM1 to OM5 fibers (62.5 or 50/125 μm)
Compatible with standard duplex or bidirectional single-mode transceivers
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) compatibility for flexible scalability of transmission capacity

Quick and easy to install

Simplified audit and deployment, without the need for recabling
Solution operational after a simple fiber fusion splice
Passive equipment: no power supply or electronics needed
Short-term service interruption (average of 1 hour per link)
Non-intrusive intervention on patch panels only
Impact on site activity minimized

Passive equipment and economic benefits

No power supply or electronics needed
Zero configuration, zero maintenance
2 to 10 times less expensive than optical fibers
5-year warranty
Environmentally friendly: recycling of cabling infrastructure
