Why Rako RAK-STAR

Has Krone punch-down connectors plus RJ11 and RJ45 ports, and takes its 15V DC power from a RAK-LINK

RAK-STAR

Distributes the wired network out to RAK stacks around the house.

In the cupboard

Central lighting control, away from the ceiling void. The keypad on the wall still runs the room.

Keypad scenes

Evening, cooking, goodnight: the scene is stored in the system, and this stack does the work.

What the Rako RAK-STAR is

The Rako RAK-STAR is a star distribution board for the Rako wired network. It gathers home-run data cables from keypads and interfaces in one steel enclosure beside the RAK-LINK.

Where it sits in a Rako system

It is powered at 15V DC from the RAK-LINK and has no power supply of its own. Wired devices such as the WK-EOS-6 keypad and interfaces such as the WAVFR connect through it. More than one RAK-STAR can be used in a system. See the Rako RAK system.
