Today we are announcing a new Diablo Data CMTS product line, Diablo Data Slingshot! There are two models to choose from:

• The Slingshot Node an IP67-rated DOCSIS 3.0 CMTS product with an integrated launch amplifier and optical input support for video services that can be used indoors or outdoors.
• The Slingshot 64, a fan-less 32 Channel downstream, 8 channel upstream small form-factor CMTS designed for smaller applications requiring less than 64 cable modems

Both CMTS come with our famous pre-configuration service and bench preparation on a live RF plant. The Slingshot Node comes with Bi-Directional SFP+ optical modules for single-fiber installation, and is pre-cabled with the fiber optic cable in the length you request. Your CMTS will be ready to install upon arrival. With a Web GUI and CLI support it is easy to navigate through configuration and operation details.

Slingshot Node

Often times the CMTS needs to be installed in an indoor room where there is less than ideal ventilation. The Slingshot Node is prefect for these settings. It can be wall-mounted, rack mounted with a horizontal bar rail, or mounted on a steel cable (i.e., strand-mount).

The Slingshot Node is offered in multiple configurations for DOCSIS 3.0:

• 16 downstream – 4 upstream channels
• 32 downstream – 8 upstrean channels

The 32 x 8 CMTS can also be upgraded to support an additional DOCSIS 3.1 OFDM full-spectrum 192Mhz downstream channel in addition to the 32 SCQAM DOCSIS 3.0 channels, enabling support for DOCSIS 3.1 / 3.0 cable modems that can operate in “mixed-mode”. This gives you 3Gbps of downstream capacity!

The integrated launch amplifier supports an optical input for video services as well as the CMTS DOCSIS channels so you can combine all services as input to the launch amp. Four (4) RF outputs to your RF distribution are supported. There are individual upstream test points for each RF port so you can isolate upstream noise easier.

The Slingshot Node supports 256, 512 or 1,024 registered cable modems, with the most common deployment option of 512. DOCSIS channels and modem capacity are enabled through a license upgrade, so you can start with a 16DS x 4US channel setup and upgrade later when you need more bandwidth capacity.

Slingshot 64

The Slingshot 64 is an fan-less, indoor wall mountable CMTS fixed with a 32 downstream by 8 upstream channel configuration at a price point that does not break the bank.

This model is limited to 64 or fewer cable modems, and is perfect for small sites like an RV Park that uses Wi-Fi access points with a cable modem for “back-haul”. The Slingshot 64 has same Web GUI and console command line support as the Slingshot Node.
