interference.
If a cable listed below is not required, skip the requirements for routing the cable.
The bending radius of a power cable or a protection ground (PGND) cable is at least
three times the diameter of the cable.
The bending radius of an optical cable is at least 20 times the diameter of the optical
cable, and the minimum bending radius of the branch at each end of the optical cable is
30 mm.
The bending radius of the signal cable must be at least five times the diameter of the
cable.
Cable Binding
Cables of the same type are bound together.
Different types of cables must be separately routed with a minimum spacing of 30 mm
and cannot be entangled or crossed.
The cables are bound tightly and neatly and the cable sheath is intact.
The cable ties face the same direction and all cable ties bound at similar positions must
be in a straight line.
The extra length of each indoor cable tie must be cut off. A slack of 5 mm is reserved for
each outdoor cable tie. All cut surfaces have no sharp edges.
Labels or nameplates are attached to both ends, joints, or turns of cables after they are
installed.
Cables are placed away from sharp objects or wall burrs. If these positions are inevitable,
protection pipes are required for the cables.
Cables are routed away from heat sources, or heat-insulation materials are added
between cables and heat sources.
Cables are routed away the cooling vents of the RHUB3908.
A clearance is reserved at turns of a cable or the position close to a device, facilitating
cable and device maintenance. The recommended clearance is about 0.1 m.
Requirements for Special Cables
Ethernet Cable
A maximum of 100 Ethernet cables can be bundled if no PVC pipes are used. If pipes are
used, a maximum of 24 Ethernet cables can be led through a pipe. In this case, ensure
that 1/3 space inside the pipes must be vacant.
Power cable
Positions for routing power cables meet requirements of the engineering design.
Cables are routed only by qualified and trained personnel before all preparations are
made.
Cables are routed in an untangled and orderly fashion.
PGND cable
PGND cables are buried in the ground or routed indoors. They cannot be routed
overhead before they are routed into the equipment room.
Outer conductors of coaxial cables and both ends of the shield layers on shielded cables
are in proper electrical contact with the metal surface of the equipment to which they are
connected.
PGND cables and signal cables are installed in an untangled and orderly fashion. A
certain distance is reserved between them to prevent interference from each other.
Fuses or switches are not allowed on PGND cables.
Other devices cannot be used for electrical connections of PGND cables.
All the metal parts in the equipment are reliably connected to the ground terminal.
Optical cable
Cables are routed in an untangled and orderly fashion.
Optical fibers cannot be bound at turns.
Optical fibers cannot be stretched with too much force or stepped on, and they are far
away from sharp objects. Heavy objects cannot be placed on optical cables.
When optical cables are routed, the extra length of the cables is coiled around special
devices, such as a fiber coiler.
Even strength is applied when optical cables are coiled and optical cables cannot be bent
in a forcible manner.
Vacant optical connectors are covered with dust-proof caps.
Fiber optic cables cannot be squeezed by the cabinet door when routed through the
cabinet.
If optical cables need to be routed on the tower platform, the optical cables are routed
along the inner side of the guard rail and the distance between the guard rail and the
cable is the shortest one.
If optical cables need to be routed close to a device on the tower, the optical cables are
secured to the guard rail or pole with cable clips and the device cannot be far away from
the position for securing the optical cables.
If the optical cable close to a device on the tower is too long, the optical cables are
wrapped and secured to the tower.
5.4.2 RHUB3908 Cable List
This section describes the connector types and connections of the RHUB3908 cables.
If one end of the CPRI cable is connected to the DLC connector, the other end connects the BBU, or
RHUB3908 through the DLC connector. If one end of the CPRI cable is connected to the ODF
adapter, the other end connects the BBU or RHUB3908 through a connector corresponding to the
adapter. The connectors include the FC connector, SC connector, and LC connector.
The Extender can be used to lengthen the distance between the RHUB3908 and the pRRU3901
connected using the Ethernet cable. If the Extender is used, the Ethernet cable is divided into two
parts, one between the RHUB3908 and the Extender and the other between the Extender and the
pRRU3901.

5.4.6 Installing an Ethernet Cable
This section describes how to install an Ethernet cable. A pRRU3901 can have two
transmission ports or three transmission ports, requiring the same installation operations. This
section uses the pRRU3901 with three transmission ports as an example.
Prerequisites
Ethernet cables are not delivered, and they must be prepared onsite. You need to use a
network cable tester to test the Ethernet cable connection.
The Ethernet cable must be of Category 5e (enhanced) or higher. In addition, its
cross-sectional area must be 24 AWG or larger and frame spread rating must be CM or
higher. With the internal PoE module providing power, the maximum length of an
Ethernet cable is 100 m. With the Extender, the distance of the pRRU3901 and
RHUB3908 can be extended by the Extender up to a total distance of 200 m.
Context
The Ethernet cable has the following functions:
Provides power supply for the pRRU when connected to the CPRI_E0 port on the
pRRU.
Transmits CPRI signals between an RHUB3908 and a pRRU.
Step 2 Remove the dustproof cap of the CPRI_E0 port on the pRRU3901.
Using the CPRI_E1 port on the pRRU3901 has the same Ethernet cable connection to the
RHUB3908 as using the CPRI_E0 port. The following section describes the connection using
the CPRI_E0 port.
1. Make the Ethernet cables.
1. Assemble an RJ45 connector and an Ethernet cable by following instructions in
Assembling the Unshielded RJ45 Connector and the Ethernet Cable of Installation Reference.
Follow pin assignment instructions described in section Ethernet Cable in LampSite Hardware Description to assemble the unshielded RJ45 connector and the Ethernet cable. Otherwise, the
transmission signal quality deteriorates and CPRI links may be disconnected.
2. Check whether the made RJ45 connector is qualified by following instructions in
Checking the Appearance of Metal Contact Strips.
3. To complete the assembly of the other end, repeat Step 1.1 and Step 1.2.
4. Check whether the touch points on the connectors at both ends are normally conducted
and well contacted and whether the connections are correct by following instructions in
Testing the Connection of Assembled Cables of Installation Reference.
Step 3 Connect the RJ45 connector at one end of the Ethernet cable to the CPRI_E0 port on the
pRRU3901 panel.
Step 4Optional: Connect the RJ45 connector at the other end of the Ethernet cable to the output
port of the Extender. Then, connect the RJ45 connector at one end of another Ethernet cable
to the input port of the Extender.
If the Extender is used, the Ethernet cable is divided into two parts, one between the
RHUB3908 and the Extender and the other between the Extender and the pRRU3901.
Step 5 Connect the RJ45 connector at the other end of the Ethernet cable to any port ranging from
CPRI_E0 to CPRI_E7 on the RHUB3908 panel based on the engineering design, as shown in
Figure 5-32.
Figure 5-32 Install an Ethernet cable between an RHUB3908 and a pRRU3901
The pRRU3901 can have two transmission ports plus PWR port or three transmission ports (plus PWR
port or no PWR port). The Ethernet cable connection between the pRRU3901 in any appearance and the

The bending radius of a power cable is at least three times the diameter of the cable.
The bending radius of a signal cable must be at least five times of the diameter of the
cable.
Cable binding
Cables of the same type are bound together.
Different types of cables must be separately routed with a minimum spacing of 30 mm
and cannot be entangled.
The cables are bound tightly and neatly and the sheaths of the cables is intact.
The cable ties face the same direction and all cable ties bound at similar positions must
be in a straight line.
The extra length of each indoor cable tie must be cut off. A slack of 5 mm is reserved for
each outdoor cable tie before the extra length is cut off. All cut surfaces are without sharp
edges.
Labels or nameplates are attached to both ends, joints, or turns of cables after they are
installed.
Safety
Cables are placed away from sharp objects or wall burrs. If these positions are inevitable,
protection pipes are required for the cables.
Cables are routed away from heat sources, or heat-insulation materials are added
between cables and heat sources.
A clearance is reserved at turns of a cable or the position close to a device, facilitating
cable and device maintenance. The recommended clearance is about 0.1 m.
Requirements for Special Cables
Ethernet Cable
A maximum of 100 Ethernet cables can be bundled if no PVC pipes are used. If pipes are

The pRRU3901 can obtain power supply through the power over Ethernet (PoE).
For external antennas corresponding to RF daughter board 1, the TX port and RX port
are ANT0 and ANT1, respectively. For external antennas corresponding to RF daughter
board 2, the TX port and RX port are ANT2 and ANT3, respectively. For external
antennas corresponding to RF daughter board 3, the TX port and RX port are ANT4 and
ANT5, respectively.
The external antenna system is optional, and the pRRU3901 jumpers are not delivered.
By default, the pRRU3901s are configured with built-in antennas. If the external antenna
system is connected, the antenna system automatically switches to the external one. One
end of the pRRU3901 RF jumper is the SMA male connector, which is connected to the
external antenna TX/RX RF port on the pRRU3901. The other end of the pRRU3901 RF
jumper is the type N male connector, which is connected to the antenna system. For the
standard of the pRRU3901 RF jumper, please see (Optional) pRRU RF Jumper of the
(1) Ethernet cable
(2) RF jumper

The Extender can be used to lengthen the distance between the RHUB and the pRRU connected using
the Ethernet cable. If the Extender is used, the Ethernet cable is divided into two parts, one between the
RHUB and the Extender and the other between the Extender and the pRRU.
6.5.5 pRRU3901 cable installation process
This section describes the process of installing pRRU3901 cables.
Figure 6-28 shows the process of installing pRRU3901 cables.
This section describes how to install an Ethernet cable.
Prerequisites
Ethernet cables are not delivered, and they must be prepared onsite. You need to use a
network cable tester to test the Ethernet cable connection.
The Ethernet cable must be of Category 5e (enhanced) or higher. In addition, its
cross-sectional area must be 24 AWG or larger and frame spread rating must be CM or
higher. With the internal PoE module providing power, the maximum length of an
Ethernet cable is 100 m. With the Extender, the distance of the pRRU3901 and
RHUB3908 can be extended by the Extender up to a total distance of 200 m.
Context
The Ethernet cable has the following functions:
Provides power supply for the pRRU3901 when the cable connects the CPRI_E0 port on
the pRRU3901 to the RHUB.
Transmits CPRI signals between an RHUB3908 and a pRRU3901.
Provides Wi-Fi services for the pRRU3901 when the cable connects the GE port on the
pRRU3901 with three transmission ports to the AC.
Procedure
Step 2 Install an Ethernet cable between an RHUB3908 and a pRRU3901.
Using the CPRI_E1 port on the pRRU3901 has the same Ethernet cable connection to the
RHUB3908 as using the CPRI_E0 port. The following section describes the connection using
the CPRI_E0 port.
1. Make the Ethernet cables.
1. Assemble an RJ45 connector and an Ethernet cable by following instructions in
Assembling the Unshielded RJ45 Connector and the Ethernet Cable of Installation Reference.
Follow pin assignment instructions described in section Ethernet Cable in LampSite Hardware Description to assemble the unshielded RJ45 connector and the Ethernet cable. Otherwise, the
transmission signal quality deteriorates and CPRI links may be disconnected.
2. Check whether the made RJ45 connector is qualified by following instructions in
Checking the Appearance of Metal Contact Strips.
3. To complete the assembly of the other end, repeat Step 1.1 and Step 1.2.
4. Check whether the touch points on the connectors at both ends are normally conducted
and well contacted and whether the connections are correct by following instructions in
Testing the Connection of Assembled Cables of Installation Reference.
1. Remove the dustproof cap of the CPRI_E0 port on the pRRU3901.
2. Connect the RJ45 connector at one end of the Ethernet cable to the CPRI_E0 port on the
pRRU3901 panel.
3. Optional: Connect the RJ45 connector at the other end of the Ethernet cable to the
output port of the Extender. Then, connect the RJ45 connector at one end of another
Ethernet cable to the input port of the Extender.
4. Connect the RJ45 connector at the other end of the Ethernet cable to any port ranging
(1) Ethernet cable
(2) GE port on the pRRU3901
(3) CPRI_E0 port on the pRRU3901
from CPRI_E0 to CPRI_E7 on the RHUB3908 panel based on the engineering design, as
shown in Figure 6-29.
Step 3Optional: Install the Ethernet cable between the pRRU3901 and the AC. This operation is
required when the pRRU3901 with three transmission ports is configured with a Wi-Fi
daughter board.
1. Remove the dustproof cap of the GE port on the pRRU3901.
2. Connect the RJ45 connector at one end of the Ethernet cable to the GE port on the
pRRU3901 panel.
3. Connect the RJ45 connector at the other end of the Ethernet cable to the transmission
port of the AC based on the engineering design, as shown in Figure 6-29.
Figure 6-29 Installing an Ethernet cable

8.3 Attaching an L-Shaped Label
This section describes the procedure and precautions to be taken for attaching an L-shaped
label.
Context
This section applies to Huawei sign plate labels. If other engineering labels in
accordance with local standards are used on site, follow the local standards for attaching
sign plate labels.
In the LampSite solution, blank L-Shaped engineering labels are delivered by default.
The L-shaped label is usually used for the signal cable, E1/T1 cable, optical cable, and
power cable. The description in this section takes the Ethernet cable in a base station as
an example.
Procedure
1. Obtain the engineering label to be attached from the whole set of the L-shaped
Step 2 Attach the long end of the engineering label to the cable in the position 20 mm away from the
connector, and then turn over the long end along the adhesive face. Ensure that the edges of
the turned-over engineering label are in a line, as shown in Figure 8-3.
By default, the label is attached in the position 20 mm away from the connector. If required, you can
change the position to make installation faster and more efficient. Consistency and neatness, however,
must be maintained.
Step 3 Adhere the long end to the labeling area. Ensure that the spacing between the cable and the
labeling area is 2 mm to 3 mm.
