Compact Aroona-Star Unit - Cailabs Aroona Star Instruction Manual

B. Compact AROONA-STAR unit
AROONA-STAR compact module is designed to be installed
in the existing optical drawer containing the multimode fibers
that need an upgrade. (See opposite photo)
One side of the unit is made up of bare fibers that are to be
spliced onto the multimode fibers needing an upgrade. The
other side of the unit is connectorized so as to be connected to
the front face of the optical drawer patch panel. This compact
unit is available in different termination connectors: LC/UPC,
SC/UPC and ST/UPC types, so that it can be adapted to the
connections in place.
1.
Open the optical drawer containing the multimode fibers
and locate the pair of multimode fibers needing an
upgrade. If it is difficult to identify the fibers (color coded
for example), feel free to identify them in some way (labels
for example) so that you'll be able to locate them later.
2. Cut the connectors at the end of the fibers.
3. Follow the fusion splicing steps to join the existing
multimode fibers to the AROONA-STAR fibers (procedure
is explained later in the manual)
4. Connect the AROONA-STAR compact unit connectors
to the front of the multimode fiber optic drawer. Using a
supplied adhesive label (SMF for Single-Mode Fiber), you
can indicate on the patch panel that the port is now single
mode.
5. Next, proceed with the qualification and production steps
detailed in the following manual.
Note: A detachable sheet is provided at the end of the
manual to insert into your network bay rack. It is used
to identify the AROONA-STAR channels used and to link
them to the information of the remote sites (building
name, patch panel & fiber number).
