interference.
If a cable listed below is not required, skip the routing requirements of the cable.
General Cabling Requirements
Requirements for Bending Radius
The bending radius of the 7/8'' feeder must be more than 250 mm (9.84 in.), and the
bending radius of the 5/4'' feeder must be more than 380 mm (14.96 in.).
The bending radius of the 1/4'' jumper must be more than 35 mm (1.38 in.). The bending
radius of the super-flexible 1/2'' jumper must be more than 50 mm (1.97 in.), and the
bending radius of the ordinary 1/2'' jumper must be more than 127 mm (5 in.).
The bending radius of the power cable or PGND cable must be at least three times the
diameter of the cable.
The bending radius of a fiber optic cable is at least 20 times the diameter of the fiber
optic cable, and the minimum bending radius of the breakout cable at each end of the
fiber optic cable is 30 mm (1.18 in.).
The bending radius of the signal cable must be at least five times the diameter of the
cable.
Requirements for Cable Binding
The same types of cable must be bound together.
Different types of cable must be separately routed with the minimum spacing of 30 mm
(1.18 in.) and cannot be entangled.
The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be
damaged.
Cable ties are installed in the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must
be in a straight line.
The excess of indoor cable ties is trimmed off, and the excess of outdoor cable ties
allows about 5 mm (0.2 in.), without remaining rough edges.
Labels or nameplates must be attached to both ends, joints, or turns of cables after they
are installed.
Security Requirements
Cables should be placed away from sharp objects or wall burrs. If these positions are
inevitable, protect the cables with protection pipes.
Cables must be routed away from heat sources, or heat-insulation materials are added
between cables and heat sources.
Sufficient slack (recommended for about 0.1 m [0.33 ft]) is provided in cables at turns or
the position close to a device, facilitating cable and device maintenance.
Cables are routed indoors through the feeder window.
Drip loops must be made outside the feeder window, and the requirements for the
minimum bending radius are met.
When cables are routed indoors, engineers are required indoors for cooperation.
The feeder window must be waterproofed.
Outdoor Cabling Requirements
Cables routed outdoors must be led through a pipe when they may be damaged.
AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables buried in the ground must be
protected.
If cables at the cabinet bottom need to be routed through a pipe along the ground, lead
the pipe into the cabinet base for about 30 mm (1.18 in.) to 50 mm (1.97 in.), not into the
cabinet. Block the pipe with waterproof tape or silicon gel, and secure the pipe to the
cable hole at the cabinet bottom with metal piece.
If cables at the cabinet bottom need to be routed through a pipe along the metal cable
trough, do not lead the pipe into the cabinet base. The cable trough must be sealed and
routed through the cable hole at the cabinet bottom.
When routing DRH cables, ensure that the highest positions of the routes of all DRH
cables (except RF cables and AISG cables) must be lower than the bottom of the DRH.
Cables are secured with cable clips.
Cables are routed neatly along the specified cabling direction and secured with cable
clips.
The positions for cable clips are determined onsite. For example, the cable clips for the
7/8" feeder are installed at the spacing of 1.5 m (4.92 ft) to 2 m (6.56 ft) in the same
direction, and the cable clips for the power cables are installed at the spacing of 1.5 m
(4.92 ft) to 2 m (6.56 ft) in the same direction.
Cable clips must be vertical with cables, and the cables in a cable clip must be parallel.
After routing cables neatly and correctly, tighten the screws on cable clips.
Secure cables on the cable tray, as shown in Figure 7-1.
Power cables must be installed in the position specified in engineering design
documents.
If the length of power cables is insufficient, replace the cables rather than adding
connectors or soldering joints to lengthen the cables.
Cables must be routed by only qualified and trained personnel before all preparations are
made.
Cables are routed in an untangled and orderly fashion.
Cabling Requirements for PGND Cables
PGND cables for the base station must be connected to the same ground bar.
PGND cables must be buried in the ground or routed indoors. They should not be routed
overhead before they are led into the equipment room.
The exterior of the coaxial wire and the shield layer of the shielded cable must have
proper electrical contact with the metal surface of the equipment to which they are
connected.
PGND cables and signal cables must be installed in an untangled and orderly fashion. A
certain distance must be reserved between them to prevent interference from each other.
Fuses or switches must not be installed on the PGND cables.
Other devices must not be used for electrical connections of the PGND cables.
All the metal parts in the housing of the equipment must be reliably connected to the
ground terminal.
Fiber optic cables must be routed by at least three qualified and trained personnel before
all preparations are made.
Fiber optic cables are used within the temperature range of -40°C to 60°C. If the current
temperature is out of the range, make protection measures or route the cables again.
Cables are routed in an untangled and orderly fashion.
Do not bind fiber optic cables at turns.
Do not stretch, step on, or place heavy objects on fiber optic cables. Keep the cables
away from sharp objects.
When fiber optic cables are routed, the excess of the cables must be coiled around
special devices, such as a fiber coiler.
When coiling fiber optic cables, apply even strength. Do not bend the cables with force.
Vacant optical connectors must be covered with dustproof caps.
Fiber optic cables cannot be squeezed by the cabinet door when routed through the
cabinet, as shown in Figure 7-2.
Figure 7-2 CPRI fiber optic cables routed through the cabinet
7.2 Cable Connections
This section describes the cable connections for DRHs.
A lower-level DRH obtains power directly from the external power system, but not from an

This section describes the procedure for installing a DRH PGND cable.
Context
The cross-sectional area of a DRH PGND cable is 16 mm2 (0.025 in.2). The cable has an M6
OT terminal at one end and an M8 terminal at the other end.
Procedure
Step 1 According to the actual cable route, cut the PGND cable into a proper length to prepare a
DRH PGND cable. Then add an OT terminal at each end of the cable according to the
instructions in Assembling the OT Terminal and the Power Cable.
Step 2 Install the DRH PGND cable.
Connect the M6 OT terminal at one end of the PGND cable to the ground terminal at the
DRH bottom and the M8 OT terminal at the other end to the external ground bar, as shown in
On AC-powered electric railways, such as high speed railways, when leaky cables are
connected to DRHs installed in tunnels, high-voltage-resistance DC blocks must be installed
between DRH RF jumpers and the leaky cables to protect the DRHs against damage.
Step 2 Link the other end of the RF jumper to the external Muti-combiner or DAS system.
Step 3 Waterproof the connectors of the RF jumper by referring to Figure 7-9.

7.8 Installing a DRH Power Cable
This section describes the procedure for installing a DRH power cable.
Prerequisites
A tool-less female connector (pressfit type) is added to the DRH power cable on the
DRH side. For details, see 10.1 Adding a Tool-Less Female Connector (Pressfit Type) to
the DRH Power Cable on the DRH Side.
Context
If a power device provided by the customer is used, the recommended specification of the
circuit breaker on this power device is 15 A to 30 A.
There are three types of DRH power cables in terms of cross-sectional areas: 5.3 mm2 (0.008
in.2) (10 AWG) and 8.2 mm2 (0.013 in.2) (8 AWG) complying with North American standards
and 6 mm2 (0.009 in.2) complying with European standards.
Table 7-2 describes the DRH power cable.
Table 7-2 DRH power cable
Ensure that the DRH power cable must be connected to the DRH first and then to the power
device. The operations in the reverse sequence may cause component damage or personal
injury.
Step 1 Connect the tool-less female connector (pressfit type) at one end of the DRH power cable to
the power supply socket on the DRH, as shown in Figure 7-14.
Figure 7-14 Installing a DRH power cable
Ensure that the exposed shield layer of the power cable is properly tightened using the clip.
Step 2 Connect the connector at the other end of the DRH power cable to the corresponding position
on the power device.
A DCDU-12B can supply power to a maximum of six DRHs. Ensure that the DRH power cable is
connected to one of LOAD0 to LOAD5 ports on the DCDU-12B.
One EPU can supply power to a maximum of six DRHs. Ensure that the DRH power cable is
connected to one of DRH0 to DRH5 ports on the EPU.
When the DRH power cable is connected to the EPU, the blue core wire in the tool-less female
connector (pressfit type) is connected to the upper port on the EPU, and the black/brown core wire is
connected to the lower port on the EPU.
Step 3 Route the cable according to the instructions in 7.1 Cabling Requirements, and then use a
cable tie to bind the cable.
Step 4 Label the installed cable according to the instructions in Attaching a Cable-Tying Label.
This section describes the procedure for installing a CPRI fiber optic cable.
Prerequisites
Before the installation, verify that the single-mode optical module is used.
The optical modules to be installed must match CPRI rates.
Context
A CPRI fiber optic cable transmits CPRI signals between a BBU and a DRH.
For details about CPRI fiber optic cable connections, see section "CPRI Cable
Connections" in the DCU3900 Hardware Description.
Procedure
Step 1 Lower the pullers of two optical modules, insert one optical module into the CPRI0 port on
the DRH and the other optical module into the CPRI port on the BBU, and raise the pullers, as
shown in Figure 7-15.
Figure 7-15 Installing an optical module
The performance of an optical module that is exposed to the air for more than 20 minutes may
be abnormal. Therefore, you must insert an fiber optic cable into an unpacked optical module
within 20 minutes.
Step 2 Connect the end labeled 1A and 1B of the fiber optic cable to the optical module on the DRH
To avoid any damage to fiber optic cables, the cables connected to the DRH must be
installed according to the installation process. For details about the installation process, see
7.3 Installation Process.
If only one fiber optic cable is required, secure the fiber optic cable into the cable clip near
the power cable to leave some slack at the bend.
Step 3 Connect the end labeled 2A and 2B of the fiber optic cable to the optical module on the BBU
side.
Step 4 Route the cables according to the instructions in 7.1 Cabling Requirements, and then use
cable ties to bind the cables.
Step 5 Label the installed cables according to the instructions in Attaching an L-Shaped Label.
