Technology agnostic, the Constellation solution supports a variety of network types, devices and environments while reducing real estate requirements, network complexity, design and deployment time and costs, and the need for skilled labor. The solution’s streamlined, modular design creates a highly efficient architecture that dramatically simplifies the cost and complexity of connecting edge-based devices and services. It begins in the main equipment room/distribution field that houses the power-sourcing and aggregation and/or core layer switching equipment. A compact rack-mounted power transmitter delivers up to 12 kW of fault- managed power to the power transition panel. The power transition panel steps down the power feed from higher to lower gauge conductors. A modular SYSTIMAX Propel™ fiber panel terminates the fiber cabling. Data and power are merged onto the hybrid powered fiber cabling at the Constellation Edge Enclosure and powered backplane. CommScope’s patented powered fiber trunk cabling exits the equipment room and runs up to 500 m to Constellation Star hubs located in coverage zones throughout the building. Power is delivered via 16-AWG twisted-pair conductors—two-pair or four-pair. Data is transported on high-capacity, singlemode, eight- or 16-fiber cables. Short runs of preterminated Cat 6 or 6A cabling supply power and data from each Constellation Star to devices in the coverage zone. The CommScope® Constellation extended reach platform is a unique, highly adaptable solution for today’s rapidly expanding and densifying edge-based networks. It combines fault-managed power, configurable powered fiber cabling and compact Constellation Star hubs in an easy-to-deploy star topology. In addition, the Constellation platform enables network and facility managers to dramatically reduce the size, cost, environmental impact and management requirements of their networks. As a result, facility and network managers can deliver: Today’s enterprise network managers are responsible for supporting billions of high- powered, connected devices at the network edge—in the ceilings, walls and outdoors—often far beyond the standards-defined reach of the structured cabling network. The move to the edge is disrupting traditional LAN/IP network designs, requiring more telecom rooms, IDFs, wiring closets, and UPS equipment and increasing the network’s carbon footprint. The network is densifying and converging; IT and OT devices and their power requirements are rapidly increasing, threatening to outstrip the budgets and amount of skilled techs needed to design, deploy and manage them. Simply meeting the current cabling standards is no longer good enough. Network managers need to move more power over longer distances without sacrificing valuable real estate. They need to dramatically streamline and simplify the delivery of power and data, ensure easy access during deployment and changes, and reduce the network’s carbon footprint. Addressing these challenges means rethinking everything. CommScope has. With the SYSTIMAX® Constellation platform, you can deliver 10X more power across 5X longer distances while reducing your network’s square footage requirements up to 85% versus traditional LAN/IP networks. Hybrid power/data fiber trunks Power transition panel Power transmitter PropelTM fiber panel Device connectivity Constellation Stars At the heart of the Constellation solution is the Constellation Star, a compact distribution node that can be installed in the ceiling, walls or outdoors for quick and easy access and manageability. Each Constellation Star supports up to 50 connected devices with 1 kW of power—110 or 220 AC, 48 V and 24 V DC—and up to 16 fiber strands. Multiple service outlets power PoE access layer switches, building automation controllers, DAS fiber and other high-power devices like night vision cameras, Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 access points, DAS/small cell systems and more. The new rack-mount Constellation offers redundant paths for both power and data. Critical applications such as emergency services and alarms benefit from using dual paths for redundancy and resiliency. New, rounded Category 6/6A cables are CPR rated for international markets and plenum rated for North American markets, making the Constellation platform a truly global solution. The Constellation Star • 1,000 watts up to 500 meters • 1,800 W up to 250 m • 650 W up to 1,000 m 10X more power. 5X longer distances. 85% less space. 4 5Constellation extended reach building infrastructure platform Constellation extended reach building infrastructure platform Use cases The extended distance, high power/high bandwidth and flexible capabilities of the Constellation platform make it an ideal solution for a wide range of vertical market use cases. With its modular, flexible, and technology-agnostic design, the Constellation platform supports converged and segmented networks, AC and DC, and IT/OT applications. This makes it ideal for use cases like adding high-end Wi-Fi®/DAS to existing network systems, densifying IoT and IIoT edge deployments, consolidating and centralizing multiple UPS locations, supporting dynamic multitenant requirements and more. Uniquely powerful benefits By reducing network complexity, space requirements and infrastructure materials, the Constellation platform provides a more responsible and sustainable long-term solution. Its simplified architecture reduces the amount of network equipment by as much as 59% while using less than half the number of components of a traditional LAN/IP network. This translates to significantly reduced raw materials and manufacturing requirements and up to 57% lower labor cost and installation time. The cumulative effects are fewer truck rolls, less fuel consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions. By leveraging the extended product life of powered fiber cabling and Category 6 and 6A patch cables, the Constellation platform extends the infrastructure lifecycle, further reducing the effects of the building network on the environment. The Constellation platform reduces the amount of network equipment by more than half, compared to a traditional LAN/IP network. It also replaces the long runs of traditional horizontal copper used to connect each device, with much shorter and easier to install preterminated/field-terminated patch cords. As a result, the Constellation platform reduces deployment time by up to 57% and can cut skilled labor requirements in half. Management and upgrades are faster and easier, too. The ceiling-, wall- or rack-based Constellation Stars are easy to access and configure, reducing the risk of potential service outages and management costs. Using 16-AWG twisted-pair powered fiber cable built on a future-ready 16f SM platform, the Constellation solution ensures network managers have all the bandwidth and power needed for long-term growth on Day 1. The extended reach capabilities and simplified design of the Constellation solution enable network managers to dramatically shrink the network’s footprint, equipment and cabling requirements. For example, each compact Constellation Star provides the essential functions of a telecom room, IDF or wiring closet while using a fraction of the size. By eliminating the need for these larger distribution points on every floor, the Constellation platform shrinks the network’s real estate requirements by as much as 85%. Perhaps more importantly, it eliminates the need for redundant power and connectivity equipment on every floor, as well as the cost and resources to operate and maintain them. This includes being able to consolidate and centralize all UPS systems and bulky AC/DC transformers in the MER/ MDF. This not only delivers bottom-line savings, but it also frees up valuable real estate that can be redeployed as revenue positive space.
