3.4 Installation Scenarios

An RRU can be installed on a pole, U-steel, angle steel, wall, or IFS06. Installation scenarios must meet heat-dissipation and waterproofing requirements of the RRU.

Requirements for the Installation Scenarios

Application scenarios:

To ensure proper heat dissipation of the RRU, the following requirements must be met:

l The RRU cannot be installed in an enclosed cabinet without a cooling system.

l The RRU cannot be installed in an enclosed camouflage box.

l The RRU cannot be installed in an enclosed equipment room without a cooling system.

l When multiple RRUs are installed in centralized mode, the minimum clearance

requirements must be met. For details about the minimum clearance requirements, see 3.5.2

Clearances for Three or More RRUs and 3.5.3 Installation Spacing Between RRUs.

3 Information About the Installation

l RRU mounting kits in assembled installation mode are not allowed in indoor scenarios.

NOTICE

If the RRU is improperly installed, heat dissipation of the RRU deteriorates and the RRU may not work properly, as shown in Figure 3-7.

Figure 3-7 Improperly installed RRUs

Method of installation:

l To ensure the heat dissipation of the RRU and waterproofing of the ports at the bottom of

the RRU, the vertical deviation angle of an RRU must be less than or equal to 10 degrees, as shown in Figure 3-8.

Issue 05 (2014-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential

Page 26

RRU3832&RRU3632 Installation Guide

3 Information About the Installation

l On a tower, an RRU can be installed on a pole, angle steel, or U-steel. The side-mounted

installation mode (one side instead of the rear of an RRU is mounted on the support) is recommended for RRUs on the main pole secured on a tower. This installation mode allows multiple RRUs to be installed next to each other at the same level on a pole. When the horizontal distance between the main and auxiliary poles on a tower is equal to or greater than 810 mm (23.62 in.), the side-mounted mode is recommended for installing RRUs on the auxiliary pole to meet the minimum clearance requirements. Otherwise, the standard mode is recommended for installing RRUs on the auxiliary pole.

l AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables buried in the ground must be protected.

l 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.

l 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.

l When routing RRU cables, ensure that the highest positions of the routes of all RRU cables

(except RF cables and AISG cables) must be lower than the bottom of the RRU.

l Cables are secured with cable clips.

l Cables are routed neatly along the specified cabling direction and secured with cable clips.

l 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.

l Cable clips must be vertical with cables, and the cables in a cable clip must be parallel.

l After routing cables neatly and correctly, tighten the screws on cable clips.

Secure cables on the cable tray, as shown in Figure 9-1.

Special Cabling Requirements

Cabling Requirements for Power Cables

l Power cables must be installed in the position specified in engineering design documents.

l If the length of power cables is insufficient, replace the cables rather than adding connectors

or soldering joints to lengthen the cables.

l Cables must be routed by only qualified and trained personnel before all preparations are

made.

l Cables are routed in an untangled and orderly fashion.

l If DC power cables need to be routed on the tower platform, lay out the cables on the

guardrail with the shortest distance and route the cables along the guardrail.

9 Installing RRU Cables

l If DC power cables need to be routed close to a device on the tower, secure the cables to

the guardrail or pole with cable clips. The device cannot be far away from the position for securing the cables.

Cabling Requirements for PGND Cables

l PGND cables for the base station must be connected to the same ground bar.

l 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.

l 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.

l 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.

l Fuses or switches must not be installed on the PGND cables.

l Other devices must not be used for electrical connections of the PGND cables.

l All the metal parts in the housing of the equipment must be reliably connected to the ground

terminal.

Cabling Requirements for E1 Cables

l E1 cables must not cross power cables, PGND cables, or RF cables when routed. If

transmission cables are routed with power cables, PGND cables, or RF cables in parallel, the spacing between them must be greater than 30 mm (1.18 in.).

l E1 cables are routed straightly and bound neatly with cable ties.

l Sufficient slack is provided in E1 cables at turns.

l E1 cables cannot be squeezed by the cabinet door when routed through the cabinet, as

shown in Figure 9-3.

Figure 9-3 E1 cables routed through the cabinet

Cabling Requirements for Fiber Optic Cables

l Fiber optic cables must be routed by at least three qualified and trained personnel before

all preparations are made.

l 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.

l Cables are routed in an untangled and orderly fashion.

9 Installing RRU Cables

l Do not bind fiber optic cables at turns.

l Do not stretch, step on, or place heavy objects on fiber optic cables. Keep the cables away

from sharp objects.

l When fiber optic cables are routed, the excess of the cables must be coiled around special

devices, such as a fiber coiler.

l An unarmored fiber optic cable must be bound using binding straps. If a fiber optic patch

cord needs to be secured in a cabinet or a piece of equipment, use binding straps to bind it and then use cable ties to secure the binding straps to the cabinet or equipment. Ensure that the fiber optic cables can flexibly move in the cable ties. Do not bend the fiber optic cables sharply. The following figure shows how to bind the fiber optic cables correctly.

Figure 9-4 Binding fiber optic cables

l When coiling fiber optic cables, apply even strength. Do not bend the cables with force.

l Vacant optical connectors must be covered with dustproof caps.

l Fiber optic cables cannot be squeezed by the cabinet door when routed through the cabinet,

as shown in Figure 9-5, Figure 9-6 and Figure 9-7.
