STAR Data Center High Density Connectivity Solution
2 STAR Solution Illustration
Reach for the STAR: Data Center Connectivity that achieves new heights! Fibernet is proud to introduce the new STAR series, our flagship line of superior Data Center connectivity solutions. STAR is a cost-effective modular product that harnesses ultra-high density pre-terminated fiber-optic cabling to answer key Data Center operability challenges. STAR delivers high-density connection in modules that allow faster handling of Moves, Adds and changes (MACs), effortless access to adapter/connector, built-in cabling management, and smaller space requirements compared to other advanced fiber-optic cabling systems. STAR 4U ODF Fibernet s reputation for effective fiber-optic connectivity is based on professionalism and uncompromising quality standards, plus expertise in servicing Data Centers quickly and costeffectively. An outstanding example of value-added Fibernet solutions, STAR modular architecture supports both current and future bit rates (10/40/100Gbit/s) with trouble-free migration from 10G to 40G and 100G that utilizes all horizontal cabling throughout the process. 3
STAR Frames ODF Flexibility for High-Density Connectivity The STAR Fiber-Optic Distribution Frame is a high-performance, compact housing assembly, built in stacked trays of 4 modules each. This Fibernet solution applies a brilliantly simple slidingtray system that makes the modules as quick and easy to handle as intuitive plug-in components. STAR 4U ODF Fast, trouble-free installation of the STAR assembly is routine, thanks to the bend-insensitive cables and Uni-Boot patch cords, which can be routed through tight spaces with zero impact on performance. The access to rear pre-terminated MTP cables is enhanced by the ability to slide the tray out for easy front access as well with convenient numbering and documentation labels to keep track of each module s location in the ODF. The result is significantly faster MAC servicing of high-density cabling, while maintaining an ideal as you go structured cabling system recommended for Data Center operational reliability. The Fibernet STAR Series also meets international standards for Data Center cabling and operation. 4

STAR Modules Fibernet has designed these high-density Data Center Modules to consistently deliver the connectivity required in the most demanding environments. Like the rest of the STAR series, this component fits into the ingenious sliding-tray system, with easy plug-in installation and easy pull-out access for MAC servicing. The versatile adapters include built-in shutters which keep away dust (the main cause of declining performance) and protect users from laser exposure. The STAR modules can accommodate either 1 MTP- 6 LC Duplex adapters or 4 MTP adapters. The high reliability and low insertion loss of these Modules enable them to meet the world s highest industry standards, including the U.S. TIA-942-A requirements for structured cabling networks and the IEEE 802.3 for up to 100G bit/sec Ethernet. STAR MTP-LC Module Advantages Adaptable for 1 MTP to 12 LC fiber connections, or 4 MTP adapters Easy insertion and extraction, reducing MAC time by 30 percent IEC 61754-7 compliant Telcordia GR-449-CORE compliant Low insertion loss meets TIA-942-A requirements 100% Testing of IL (Insertion Loss) & RL (Return Loss) ETL Laboratory Approved for up to 100G Ethernet according to IEEE 802.3 international standard Bend-Insensitive Cable Standards Multi-Mode OM3 as per IEC 60793-2-10 type A1a.2 Multi-Mode OM4 as per IEC 60793-2-10 type A1a.3 Single-Mode as per ITU-T G.657.A2 6
Polarity The Module is assembled according to Method A as described in the ANSI/TIA 568-C.3 standard. The polarity is managed at patch cord level, meaning that all the modules and MTP cables maintain direct polarity. The polarity is switched using a crossed patch cord at only one side of the link. The patch cords on the other side are direct and so are any others (if exist) along the link. Polarity Method A Channel Insertion Loss 7
