FCC: This equipment complies with the applicable sections of Title 47 CFR, Part 22
(800 MHz Cellular), Part 24 (1900 MHz - PCS), Part 90 (800/900 - SMR), and Part
27 (700 MHz, 2100 MHz - AWS).
IC: This equipment complies with the applicable sections of RSS-131 (800/900 –
SMR), RSS-132 (800 - Cellular), and RSS-133 (1900 – PCS). The term “IC:” before
the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada Technical
Specifications were met.
The Manufacturer's rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier
operation. For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating
would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is
re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power
reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an
attenuator at the output of the device.
NOTE:The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has developed guidelines for
evaluation of human exposure to RF emissions. The guidelines incorporate limits for
Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) for power density of transmitter operating at
frequencies between 300 kHz and 100 GHz. Limits have been set for portable, mobile, and
fixed equipment. ADC products fall in the category of fixed equipment; products intended
to be permanently secured and exposures are evaluated for distances greater than 20cm
(7-7/8”). Portable devices fall into exposures of less than 20cm, where SAR evaluations
are used.
Preface
Antenna gain is restricted to 1.5 W ERP (2.49 W EIRP) in order to satisfy RF exposure
compliance requirements. If higher than 1.5 W ERP, routine MPE evaluation is needed.
The antennas should be installed to provide at least 20cm from all persons to satisfy MPE
requirements of FCC Part 2, 2.1091.
UL/CUL: This will be installed in a restricted access location. This equipment
complies, per UL and CUL 50, Standard for Enclosures for Electrical Equipment.
UL/CUL: This equipment complies with UL and CUL 60950-1 Standard for Safety
for Information Technology Equipment, including Electrical Business Equipment.
UL: This equipment is UL Plenum rated under UL 2043.

InterReach Spectrum supports up to eight frequency bands in a single system.
Each antenna location supports those bands in modular, group pairings. Each
location includes a Main Remote Access Unit (MRAU), which can power up to three
additional Secondary Remote Access Units (SRAUs). An MRAU supports two
frequency bands, and each SRAU can support up to two frequency bands, for a
total of up to eight frequency bands. MRAUs and SRAUs are grouped logically,
based on common service provider groupings and include, as an example:
•850/1900
•700/700 MIMO
•800/900 SMR
•1900/AWS.
To add more frequency bands, you connect an SRAU to the existing MRAU.
Figure 1 illustrates how RF and IF signals are sent between Spectrum units and
modules.

recommends. Other antennas may be used. For further information on the Omni Antenna,

Product Overview
Main Remote Access Units
The Main Remote Access Unit (MRAU) receives FWD IF signals from an IF
Expansion Unit (IFEU), which is part of the Spectrum Expansion Module Group,
using 75
a passive RF antenna using 50
configuration information and power from and sends its status information to the
IFEU.
The MRAU receives REV RF signals from a passive RF antenna using 50 coaxial
cable. It converts the signals to IF and sends them to the IFEU using 75
cable.
MRAU Ports, Cable, and Connectors
CATV cable. The MRAU converts the IF signals to RF and sends them to
coaxial cable. The MRAU also receives
