RRU Main Function

The RRU receives RF signals from the antenna system, down-converts the RF signals to IF signals, and then transmits them to the BBU or the macro NodeB after amplification, analog-to-digital conversion, digital down-conversion, matched filtering, and Digital Automatic Gain Control (DAGC). Support 12dB, 24dB gain TMA RTWP statistic and report Interference scan function Standing wave detect and report (VSWR if a problem sweep remove fly lead and sweep to antenna) Support ASIG (Antenna Interface Standards Group) 2.0 Receiver reference sensitivity typical value -125.5dBm
Intermodulation sensitivity -115dBm

Installing the PGND cable of RRU

Connecting the PGND cable (only RRU is installed)
The green and yellow PGND cable is a single cable with a cross-sectional area of 16 mm2. Both ends of the cable are OT terminals to connect to the grounding
bolt on the RRU module. If you prepare the cable by

yourself, it is recommended to use a copper-based cable with a minimum cross-sectional area of 16 mm2.

Installing the Power Cable of RRU

1: Measure the length of the cable route
It is better to measure the length of power cable before cutting, sometimes the survey info is not correct. You can get the cable length info from the cable marker. Use a measuring tape or first use one power cable and route it to the correct position before cutting the power cable. Then repeat the process over for the remaining two sectors.
Huawei Confidential
Page 14
2: Put color rings

You must put a color ring on the power cable when you are starting to install the power cable. Each ring for every sector to ensure that the sectors are not swapped. One ring for sector one. Two rings for sector two. Three rings for sector Three. This must be done to avoid sector swap at either end of the connection.

3: Surge Protection Straps

Make sure that the surge protection straps are installed correctly. Seal the connection correctly according to the connector sealing specification. If the kits are not supplied write it in the Site file for follow up and retrofit. Inform the QA department for monitoring process.

RRU only support the -48V DC power cable Step 1: Route the power cable. One end of the cable is two OT terminals, and the
other end is bare. The OT terminals need to be made on site. Use the correct crimping tool. Take a photo of the procedure.
Huawei Confidential
Page 17

Step 2: Add two OT terminals to one end of the power cable
A. Determine l the lengths of power cable for different operation according to the scales on the cover plate of the cabling cavity as shown: B. Based on the determined lengths, remove the jacket and shielding layer from the power cable. Then remove the jacket of a specified length from each wire.
D. Remove about 15mm jacket from the power cable
C. Add an OT terminals to each wire

Step 5:Remove the screw on the strap labeled PGND. Step 6: Press the strap on the exposed shielding layer of the power cable, then tighten the
screw.
Step 7: Connect the OT terminal on the blue -48V DC wire to the terminal labeled NEG(-).
Connect the OT terminal on the black or brown GND wire to the terminal labeled RTN(+). Then tight the screw. Step 8: Close the cover. Step 9: Bind the -48V DC power cable to the binding slot in the lower angle piece.

Huawei Confidential
Page 69

3: Installation specification
1. Clean the feeder and connectors. 2. Wrap 2 layers of PVC tape before wrapping the waterproof tape for the convenience of removing the tapes. 3. Uncoil the waterproof-insulating tape. Stick the end of the tape to the feeder at the point 2 to 5 cm above the connector. Note that the glued side should face the feeder. 4. Stretch the tape until it is as 3/4 to 1/2 wide as its original shape. Make sure that the stretched width is at least 1/2 of the original width, otherwise over-stretching may damage the molecular structure of the tape and lower its reliability. 5. Wrap up the feeder spirally upward while maintaining this stretching strength. Make sure that the overlapping area of adjacent tape layers is 1/2 of the stretched width, as shown below. 6. When wrapping to the point 2 to 5 cm under the connector, reverse the direction to let the wrapping goes back towards starting point. In this way, the feeder is wrapped up with 2 layers of waterproof tape. 7. After wrapping, squeeze the tape stuck to the feeder to make sure no air remains between the tape layers. 8. After wrapping the waterproof-insulating tape, it is necessary to wrap it up with PVC tape to prevent the wearing and aging of the waterproof-insulating tape. 9. The wrapping of PVC tape is similar to that of waterproof-insulating tape. Start wrapping spirally upward with 1/2 width of overlapping between adjacent layers. Reserve the wrapping direction to make 2 layer PVC tape cover. Make sure to maintain the stretching strength.
