cable is 100 m. With the Extender, the distance of the pRRU3901 and RHUB can be
extended by the Extender up to a total distance of 200 m.
lEthernet cables are not delivered, and they must be prepared onsite. You need to use a
network cable tester to test the Ethernet cable connection.
Context
The Ethernet cable has the following functions:
lProvides power supply for the pRRU3901 when the cable connects the CPRI_E0 port on
the pRRU3901 to the RHUB.
lTransmits CPRI signals between an RHUB and a pRRU3901.
lProvides Wi-Fi services for the pRRU3901 when the cable connects the GE port on the
pRRU3901 with three transmission ports to the AC.

Follow-up Procedure
1.Route the cable, and then use a cable tie to bind the cable. For details, see 7.5.1
Requirements for Cable Layout.
2.Label the installed cable. For details, see section 11.3 Attaching an L-Shaped Label.
7.5.7 Installing an RF jumpers (Optional)
The RF jumpers transmit radio frequency signals. One end of the RF jumpers is the SMA
straight male connector, and the other end is the type N connector.
Context
lIf the RF jumper is provided by the customer, the jumper must not be lower than the
RG316 specifications. In addition, the jumpers can be used after they are checked by
Huawei engineers.
lpRRU3901s can be connected to external whip antennas or external remote antennas
(through pRRU3901 RF jumpers). Whip antennas are delivered optionally. RF jumpers
are not delivered.
Procedure
Step 1 Expose the SMA female connector by removing the pRRU3901 antenna housing, as shown in
Figure 7-30.
Issue 06 (2015-10-30)Huawei Proprietary and Confidential
Step 2 Use a torque wrench with a torque of 0.6 N•m to connect the SMA straight male connector on
a jumper to the ANT port on the pRRU3901 panel.
NOTICE
Tighten it with hands, and then use a torque wrench to tighten it with a rotational speed of less
than or equal to 2.4 rpm to tighten it.
Step 3 Connect the type N female connector of the jumper to the type N male connector of the RF
feeder connected to the built-in antenna.
NOTICE
Tighten the feeder close to the type N connector to ensure that the jumper is not tightened. In
this way, the connectors on both ends of a jumper are not affected by the external force.
