1.11.2 Checking the Appearance of Metal Contact Strips

This topic describes how to check the metal contact strips and how to check whether an assembled RJ45 connector is qualified.

Context

l To ensure proper contact between the crimped parts and the core wires, the heights and

sizes of the metal contact strips must be uniform and standard.

l The metal contact strips must be parallel to each other, with an offset less than 5°. The

top margin of a strip must be parallel to the axis of the connector, with an offset less than 10°.

l To ensure expedite conduction, the surface of the metal contact strips must be clean.

l The metal contact strips must be in good contact with the RJ45 socket. The plastic septa

must remain intact and must be aligned properly.

l The soldering edge of a metal contact strip must surpass the ends of the core wires. The

ends of the core wires must be in contact with the edge of the RJ45 trough. In principle, the distance between them must be less than 0.5 mm (0.02 in.).

Procedure

Step 1 Hold the crimped connector, with the front side facing you, and check whether the metal

contact strips are of the same height. In principle, the height is 6.02 mm (0.237 in.) ± 0.13 mm (0.005 in.). If a measuring tool is not available, you can compare the connector with a standard connector. Figure 1-46 shows an unqualified piece, and Figure 1-47 shows a qualified piece.

NOTE

All unqualified pieces must be crimped again.

Figure 1-54 Checking the reliability

The procedure for testing a crossover cable is the same as that for testing a straight-through cable except for the sequence in which the indicators turn on. You need to refer to the wire connections of a crossover cable.

The Ethernet cable is qualified if the indicators turn on in the following sequence:

At the master (left) section of the tester, the indicators turn on in the sequence of 1-8-G. At the slave (right) section of the tester, the indicators turn on in the sequence of 3-6-1-4-5-2-7-8-G.

Otherwise, the Ethernet cable is unqualified.

NOTE

If a tester is not available, you can use a multimeter to perform a simple test, as shown in Figure 1-55.

NOTE

l In the label content, Small Cell identifies a Huawei micro base station.

l For a single base station, only labels with Small Cell or Small Cell0 are used.

l For two base stations at the same site: If UMTS and LTE base stations are located at the same site,

you are advised to label the UMTS base station as Small Cell0 and the LTE base station as Small Cell1. If two base stations work in the same mode, label the one directly connected to external devices as Small Cell0 and the cascaded one as Small Cell1.

1.11.6 Attaching a Sign Plate Label

This section describes the procedures and precautions for attaching a sign plate label.

Context

l 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.

l A sign plate label is usually used for a power cable, ground label, signal cable, and

antenna. This section uses 1.11.5 Small Cell Engineering Label as an example.

Procedure

Step 1 Lead the cable ties through the holes of a label, and then bind the label to the cable, as shown

in Figure 1-63. Ensure that the cable ties are led through the holes of the label in the same direction.

(1): Cable tie (2): Label (3): Cable

NOTE

You should use an outdoor cable tie with a appropriate width in outdoor scenarios (the default is black cable tie with 3.6 mm or 0.14 in. width).

l The position for banding the label is recommended from 20 mm to 100 mm (0.79 in. to

3.94 in.) away from the cable connector. Ensure the front of the label facing you and not be covered.

l In case of both ports of the cable connected have different silkscreen, both ends of the

cable should bind the port label on the two ends of cable. For example, in dual BTSs cascading scenarios, one end of the cascading FE/GE cable is connected to LAN1 port on BTS0, and the other end connected to WAN port on BTS1. At this point, both ends of the cable should band two labels Micro BTS0 LAN1 and Micro BTS1 WAN. As shown in Figure 1-64, the distance between the two labels is recommended from 10 mm to 20 mm (0.39 in. to 0.79 in.).

Figure 1-64 Positions for banding labels

NOTE

You may change the positions for attaching labels in actual situations. For example, you can bind a label where the cable is bent.

Step 2 Tighten the cable tie, securing the label on the cable, and then cut off the extra part of the

cable tie, as shown in Figure 1-65.

Figure 1-65 Securing the label on the cable

RRU3931E Installation Guide

NOTE

l When you bind a label, ensure that the side with characters faces outwards.

l Ensure that the labels are attached in an orderly and neat manner. When you cut a cable tie, keep a

surplus length of 5 mm to 10 mm (0.20 in. to 0.39 in.).
