CAUTION
To connect the BBU3900 and the transmission device using the FE/GE optical cable, adhere to
the following rules:
l The TX port on the BBU3900 is connected to the RX port on the transmission device.
l The RX port on the BBU3900 is connected to the TX port on the transmission device.
7.5 BTS3900 CPRI cables
CPRI cables connect RFUs and BBU. Cable connections of CPRI vary according to the different
configuration of BTS3900.
7.5.1 CPRI Cable Connections of the BTS3900
The BTS3900 supports four typical configurations: 3 x 10 MHz 2T2R, 3 x 20 MHz 2T2R, 3 x
10 MHz 4T4R, and 3 x 20 MHz 4T4R. Different number of LRFUs and LBBPs is required for
each configuration. Therefore, the CPRI cable connections are also different.
7.5.2 CPRI Electrical Cable
The CPRI electrical cable enables high speed communication between the BBU3900 and the
RFU.
7.5.1 CPRI Cable Connections of the BTS3900
The BTS3900 supports four typical configurations: 3 x 10 MHz 2T2R, 3 x 20 MHz 2T2R, 3 x
10 MHz 4T4R, and 3 x 20 MHz 4T4R. Different number of LRFUs and LBBPs is required for
each configuration. Therefore, the CPRI cable connections are also different.
3 x 10 MHz 2T2R
3 x 10 MHz 2T2R indicates that the BTS3900 supports three sectors, each of which uses 10
MHz frequency bandwidth and provides two downlink channels and two uplink channels.
