Configurations of Cabinets Used by a DBS3900


Overall principles for configuring a DBS3900
l

When being configured with an APM30H (Ver.D), a DBS3900 can support a maximum of
15 RRUs. When being configured with an OMB, a DBS3900 can support only one RRU.
When being configured with an OMB (Ver.C), a DBS3900 can support a maximum of 6
RRUs. When being configured with other cabinets, a DBS3900 can support a maximum
of 12 RRUs.

During initial deployment, the basic cabinet is positioned on the right and the auxiliary
cabinets such as the battery cabinet and transmission cabinet, if required, are positioned on
the left. During capacity expansion, unless otherwise stated, the original cabinets remain
in the original positions and new cabinets are added to the right side of original cabinets.

The principles for configuring the DBS3900 of which the BBU is installed in an APM30H
cabinet are as follows:
l

An APM30H can be installed side by side with only one TMC11H, or it can be stacked on
a maximum of two IBBS200Ds/IBBS200Ts/IBBS300Ds/IBBS300Ts. (An IBBS200D/
IBBS200T/IBBS300D/IBBS300T can be stacked on another cabinet of the same type.)

An APM30H or TMC11H can be installed on the ground or stacked on an IBBS200D,


IBBS200T, IBBS300D, or IBBS300T.

An APM30H (Ver.D) can be installed side by side with only one IBBS700D or IBBS700T.

If both the battery cabinet and transmission cabinet are required, the battery cabinet is
positioned on the left side of the basic cabinet, and the transmission cabinet is stacked on
the battery cabinet or positioned on the left side of the battery cabinet.

The principles for configuring the DBS3900 of which the BBU is installed in a TP48600A
cabinet are as follows:
l

A TP48600A can be installed together with a TMC11H (Ver.C) side by side.

A TP48600A can be installed together with an IBB300D, IBBS300T, IBBS700D, or


IBBS700T side by side.

BBU Installed in an APM30H (Ver.D) or TMC11H (Ver.D)


NOTE

APM30H (Ver.D) is shortened to APM30H, and TMC11H (Ver.D) is shortened to TMC11H.

Single- or dual-mode base station


An APM30H cabinet can supply power to a maximum of 15 RRUs. When a base station is
configured with 7 to 12 RRUs, another DCDU-12B must be added to the APM30H. When a
base station is configured with 13 to 15 RRUs, an ODM and an OFD must be configured.

DBS3900
Installation Guide

When routing cables, avoid sharp objects, for example sharp edges on the wall. If necessary,
use tubes to protect the cables.

When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat insulation
materials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.

Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m or 3.937 in. is recommended) between equipment and
cables especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and equipment.

Indoor cabling requirements


l

Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.

Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into the
room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater than or equal to the minimum
bending radiuses of the cables.

When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.

Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements


l

Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.

The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.

When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50
mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put the
tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of
the tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.

When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do not
put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubes
to the cable holes in the base.

Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the installation
guide delivered with the clip.

Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the cables.

Determine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual situation. For
example, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at an interval of 1.5 m to 2 m (4.92 ft to 6.56
ft), CPRI fiber optic cables and power cables are secured with clips at an interval of 1 m
to 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92 ft). Ensure that the clips are evenly spaced and in the same direction.

When fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly and are routed
through the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too tightly.
NOTE

There are two types of clips: 3-hole clip and 6-hole clip, which are described as follows:
l

A 3-hole clip is shown by illustration a in the following figure. It is often used to fasten feeders.

A 6-hole clip is shown by illustration b in the following figure. It is often used to fasten power cables and
CPRI fiber optic cables.

After routing a DC power cable onto the platform on a tower, route it along the shortest
path to the rails surrounding the platform, and route it along the inside of the rails.

After routing a DC power cable close to the equipment on a tower, use clips to secure the
power cable onto a pole or the rails surrounding the platform. Ensure that there is no
excessively long distance between the equipment and the position where the power cable
is secured.

Cabling of PGND cables


l

PGND cables for a base station must be connected to the same group of ground bars.

PGND cables must be buried in the ground or routed indoors.

The external conductor 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 separately. A certain distance must be
reserved between them to prevent interference from each other.

Switches or fuses 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.

Cabling of E1 cables
l

The operating temperature of fiber optic cables ranges from -40C to +60C (-40F to
+140F). If the actual temperature is beyond this range, take protective measures or select
another route.

Do not circle and twist cables.

Do not bind a fiber optic cable at the position where it bends.

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

When fiber optic cables are routed, the excess of the fiber optic cables must be coiled around
special devices, such as a fiber coiler.

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 6-144 Binding fiber optic cables

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

The cables are neatly and tightly bound. The cable ties are evenly spaced and face
the same direction.

Different types of cables, such as the power cable, PGND cable, feeder, fiber optic
cable, E1/T1, and FE/GE signal cable are separately bound.

The layout of all cables facilitates the maintenance and capacity expansion. For
example, the maintenance transfer cable is bound to the outside of the BBU cable
claw, as shown in the following figure.

All the labels at both ends of the cables are legible.

The extra length of the indoor cable ties is cut off, and the cut surfaces are smooth
without sharp edges. The extra length of 3 mm (0.11 in.) to 5 mm (0.19 in.) of the

Cable binding requirements


l

Cables of the same type must be bound together.

Different types of cables must be separately laid out and bound, with a minimum distance
of 30 mm (1.18 in.) from each other.

The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be damaged.

The cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must be
in a straight line.

The excess of the indoor cable ties is cut off. The excess of 5 mm (0.197 in.) of the outdoor
cable ties is reserved, and the cut surfaces are smooth without sharp edges.

After cables are installed, labels or nameplates must be attached to the cables at their ends,
curves, and interconnection positions.

Security requirements
l

When routing cables, avoid sharp objects, for example sharp edges on the wall. If necessary,
use tubes to protect the cables.

When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat insulation
materials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.

Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m or 3.937 in. is recommended) between equipment and
cables especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and equipment.

Indoor cabling requirements


l

Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.

Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into the
room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater than or equal to the minimum
bending radiuses of the cables.

When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.

Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements


l

Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.

The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.

When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50
mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put the
tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of
the tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.

When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do not
put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubes
to the cable holes in the base.

Check as follows:
1. Remove the board, and check whether any pin of the slot on
the backplane is bent, broken, or missing. Replace the subrack
if necessary.
2. Insert the board into the subrack, and check the status of
indicators on the board.
3. If the indicators indicate an exception, remove the board, insert
it into a vacant slot holding the boards of the same type, and
check the status of the indicators.
l If the board works properly, the original slot is faulty. In
this case, replace the subrack.
l If the fault persists, the board is faulty. In this case, replace
the board.

Failure in the power


supply to other
components in the
cabinet

Check as follows:
1. Check whether the indicator on the fuse terminal block that
connects power supply to the component is on. Skip this step
and go to step 2 if this component does not use any fuse
terminal block.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is on, the fuse is
faulty. In this case, replace the fuse according to the
instructions in Replacing a Fuse.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is off, go to step
2.
2. Use a multimeter to measure the input power to the component.
l If the input power is normal, replace the component.
l If the input power is abnormal, check whether the power
cable for the component is connected securely. If the power
cable is not securely connected, turn off the circuit breaker
for the component (if there is no circuit breaker for the
component, remove the connector from the power unit) and
reconnect the power cable. If the power cable is securely
connected, the protector (such as circuit breaker or fuse) on
the component may be damaged. In this case, replace the
damaged protector. If the protector cannot be replaced,
replace the upper-level power distribution component.

DBS3900
Installation Guide

When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.

Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements


l

Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.

The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.

When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50
mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put the
tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of
the tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.

When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do not
put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubes
to the cable holes in the base.

Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the installation
guide delivered with the clip.

Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the cables.

Determine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual situation. For
example, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at an interval of 1.5 m to 2 m (4.92 ft to 6.56
ft), CPRI fiber optic cables and power cables are secured with clips at an interval of 1 m
to 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92 ft). Ensure that the clips are evenly spaced and in the same direction.

When fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly and are routed
through the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too tightly.
NOTE

There are two types of clips: 3-hole clip and 6-hole clip, which are described as follows:
l

A 3-hole clip is shown by illustration a in the following figure. It is often used to fasten feeders.

Check as follows:
1. Remove the board, and check whether any pin of the slot on
the backplane is bent, broken, or missing. Replace the subrack
if necessary.
2. Insert the board into the subrack, and check the status of
indicators on the board.
3. If the indicators indicate an exception, remove the board, insert
it into a vacant slot holding the boards of the same type, and
check the status of the indicators.
l If the board works properly, the original slot is faulty. In
this case, replace the subrack.
l If the fault persists, the board is faulty. In this case, replace
the board.

Failure in the power


supply to other
components in the
cabinet

Check as follows:
1. Check whether the indicator on the fuse terminal block that
connects power supply to the component is on. Skip this step
and go to step 2 if this component does not use any fuse
terminal block.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is on, the fuse is
faulty. In this case, replace the fuse according to the
instructions in Replacing a Fuse.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is off, go to step
2.
2. Use a multimeter to measure the input power to the component.
l If the input power is normal, replace the component.
l If the input power is abnormal, check whether the power
cable for the component is connected securely. If the power
cable is not securely connected, turn off the circuit breaker
for the component (if there is no circuit breaker for the
component, remove the connector from the power unit) and
reconnect the power cable. If the power cable is securely
connected, the protector (such as circuit breaker or fuse) on
the component may be damaged. In this case, replace the
damaged protector. If the protector cannot be replaced,
replace the upper-level power distribution component.

10.6 Installing Cables


You need to install the external cables and cables for mandatory components in the DBS3900
onsite.

10.6.1 Cabling Requirements


Cables must be laid out according to the specified cabling requirements to prevent signal
interference.
NOTE

If a cable listed below is not required, skip the cabling requirements of the cable.

General Cabling Requirements


Bending radius requirements
l

The bending radius of a 7/8'' feeder must be greater than 250 mm (9.84 in.), and the bending
radius of a 5/4'' feeder must be greater than 380 mm (14.96 in.).

The bending radius of a 1/4'' jumper must be greater than 35 mm (1.38 in.). The bending
radius of a super-flexible 1/2'' jumper must be greater than 50 mm (1.97 in.), and the bending
radius of an ordinary 1/2'' jumper must be greater than 127 mm (5 in.).

The bending radius of a power cable or PGND cable must be at least three times its diameter.

The bending radius of a fiber optic cable is at least 20 times of its diameter, and the bending
radius of a breakout cable is at least 30 mm (1.18 in.).

The bending radius of an E1/T1 cable must be at least three times its diameter.

The bending radius of a signal cable must be at least five times its diameter.

Cable binding requirements


l

Cables of the same type must be bound together.

Different types of cables must be separately laid out and bound, with a minimum distance
of 30 mm (1.18 in.) from each other.

The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be damaged.

The cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must be
in a straight line.

The excess of the indoor cable ties is cut off. The excess of 5 mm (0.197 in.) of the outdoor

651

10 Indoor DC Scenario Where the BBU Is Installed Indoors


and an Outdoor APM30H (Ver.C) Supplies Power to RRUs

DBS3900
Installation Guide

When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat insulation
materials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.

Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m or 3.937 in. is recommended) between equipment and
cables especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and equipment.

Indoor cabling requirements


l

Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.

Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into the
room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater than or equal to the minimum
bending radiuses of the cables.

When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.

Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements


l

Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.

The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.

When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50
mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put the
tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of
the tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.

When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do not
put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubes
to the cable holes in the base.

Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the installation
guide delivered with the clip.

Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the cables.

Determine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual situation. For
example, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at an interval of 1.5 m to 2 m (4.92 ft to 6.56
ft), CPRI fiber optic cables and power cables are secured with clips at an interval of 1 m
to 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92 ft). Ensure that the clips are evenly spaced and in the same direction.

When fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly and are routed
through the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too tightly.
NOTE

There are two types of clips: 3-hole clip and 6-hole clip, which are described as follows:

Check as follows:
1. Remove the board, and check whether any pin of the slot on
the backplane is bent, broken, or missing. Replace the subrack
if necessary.
2. Insert the board into the subrack, and check the status of
indicators on the board.
3. If the indicators indicate an exception, remove the board, insert
it into a vacant slot holding the boards of the same type, and
check the status of the indicators.
l If the board works properly, the original slot is faulty. In
this case, replace the subrack.
l If the fault persists, the board is faulty. In this case, replace
the board.

Failure in the power


supply to other
components in the
cabinet

Check as follows:
1. Check whether the indicator on the fuse terminal block that
connects power supply to the component is on. Skip this step
and go to step 2 if this component does not use any fuse
terminal block.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is on, the fuse is
faulty. In this case, replace the fuse according to the
instructions in Replacing a Fuse.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is off, go to step
2.
2. Use a multimeter to measure the input power to the component.
l If the input power is normal, replace the component.
l If the input power is abnormal, check whether the power
cable for the component is connected securely. If the power
cable is not securely connected, turn off the circuit breaker
for the component (if there is no circuit breaker for the
component, remove the connector from the power unit) and
reconnect the power cable. If the power cable is securely
connected, the protector (such as circuit breaker or fuse) on
the component may be damaged. In this case, replace the
damaged protector. If the protector cannot be replaced,
replace the upper-level power distribution component.

Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.

Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into the
room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater than or equal to the minimum
bending radiuses of the cables.

When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.

Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements


l

Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.

The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.

When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50
mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put the
tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of
the tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.

TMC11H (Ver.C)

When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do not
put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubes
to the cable holes in the base.

Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the installation
guide delivered with the clip.

Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the cables.

Determine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual situation. For
example, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at an interval of 1.5 m to 2 m (4.92 ft to 6.56
ft), CPRI fiber optic cables and power cables are secured with clips at an interval of 1 m
to 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92 ft). Ensure that the clips are evenly spaced and in the same direction.

When fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly and are routed
through the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too tightly.
NOTE

There are two types of clips: 3-hole clip and 6-hole clip, which are described as follows:
l

A 3-hole clip is shown by illustration a in the following figure. It is often used to fasten feeders.

A 6-hole clip is shown by illustration b in the following figure. It is often used to fasten power cables and

After routing a DC power cable onto the platform on a tower, route it along the shortest
path to the rails surrounding the platform, and route it along the inside of the rails.

After routing a DC power cable close to the equipment on a tower, use clips to secure the
power cable onto a pole or the rails surrounding the platform. Ensure that there is no
excessively long distance between the equipment and the position where the power cable
is secured.

Cabling of PGND cables


l

PGND cables for a base station must be connected to the same group of ground bars.

PGND cables must be buried in the ground or routed indoors.

The external conductor 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 separately. A certain distance must be
reserved between them to prevent interference from each other.

Switches or fuses 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.

Cabling of E1 cables
l

The operating temperature of fiber optic cables ranges from -40C to +60C (-40F to
+140F). If the actual temperature is beyond this range, take protective measures or select
another route.

Do not circle and twist cables.

Do not bind a fiber optic cable at the position where it bends.

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

When fiber optic cables are routed, the excess of the fiber optic cables must be coiled around
special devices, such as a fiber coiler.

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 11-82 Binding fiber optic cables

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

Cable binding requirements


l

Cables of the same type must be bound together.

Different types of cables must be separately laid out and bound, with a minimum distance
of 30 mm (1.18 in.) from each other.

The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be damaged.

The cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must be
in a straight line.

The excess of the indoor cable ties is cut off. The excess of 5 mm (0.197 in.) of the outdoor
cable ties is reserved, and the cut surfaces are smooth without sharp edges.

After cables are installed, labels or nameplates must be attached to the cables at their ends,
curves, and interconnection positions.

Security requirements
l

When routing cables, avoid sharp objects, for example sharp edges on the wall. If necessary,
use tubes to protect the cables.

When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat insulation
materials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.

Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m or 3.937 in. is recommended) between equipment and
cables especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and equipment.

Indoor cabling requirements


l

Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.

Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into the
room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater than or equal to the minimum
bending radiuses of the cables.

Installation Guide

When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.

Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements


l

Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.

The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.

When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50
mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put the
tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of
the tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.

When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do not
put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubes
to the cable holes in the base.

Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the installation
guide delivered with the clip.

Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the cables.

Determine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual situation. For
example, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at an interval of 1.5 m to 2 m (4.92 ft to 6.56
ft), CPRI fiber optic cables and power cables are secured with clips at an interval of 1 m
to 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92 ft). Ensure that the clips are evenly spaced and in the same direction.

When fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly and are routed
through the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too tightly.
NOTE

There are two types of clips: 3-hole clip and 6-hole clip, which are described as follows:
l

A 3-hole clip is shown by illustration a in the following figure. It is often used to fasten feeders.

A 6-hole clip is shown by illustration b in the following figure. It is often used to fasten power cables and
CPRI fiber optic cables.

The operating temperature of fiber optic cables ranges from -40C to +60C (-40F to
+140F). If the actual temperature is beyond this range, take protective measures or select
another route.

Do not circle and twist cables.

Do not bind a fiber optic cable at the position where it bends.

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

When fiber optic cables are routed, the excess of the fiber optic cables must be coiled around
special devices, such as a fiber coiler.

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 12-99 Binding fiber optic cables

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

Check as follows:
1. Remove the board, and check whether any pin of the slot on
the backplane is bent, broken, or missing. Replace the subrack
if necessary.
2. Insert the board into the subrack, and check the status of
indicators on the board.
3. If the indicators indicate an exception, remove the board, insert
it into a vacant slot holding the boards of the same type, and
check the status of the indicators.
l If the board works properly, the original slot is faulty. In
this case, replace the subrack.
l If the fault persists, the board is faulty. In this case, replace
the board.

Failure in the power


supply to other
components in the
cabinet

Check as follows:
1. Check whether the indicator on the fuse terminal block that
connects power supply to the component is on. Skip this step
and go to step 2 if this component does not use any fuse
terminal block.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is on, the fuse is
faulty. In this case, replace the fuse according to the
instructions in Replacing a Fuse.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is off, go to step
2.
2. Use a multimeter to measure the input power to the component.
l If the input power is normal, replace the component.
l If the input power is abnormal, check whether the power
cable for the component is connected securely. If the power
cable is not securely connected, turn off the circuit breaker
for the component (if there is no circuit breaker for the
component, remove the connector from the power unit) and
reconnect the power cable. If the power cable is securely
connected, the protector (such as circuit breaker or fuse) on
the component may be damaged. In this case, replace the
damaged protector. If the protector cannot be replaced,
replace the upper-level power distribution component.

l

The stacked cabinets or side-by-side cabinets are connected using equipotential cables.

When an IBBS200D/IBBS200T/IBBS300D/IBBS300T is configured, the lower cabinets


are connected to the IBBS200D/IBBS200T/IBBS300D/IBBS300T under the primary
APM30H using equipotential cables.

When an IBBS200D/IBBS200T/IBBS300D/IBBS300T is configured, the IBBS200D/


IBBS200T/IBBS300D/IBBS300T under the primary APM30H is connected to the external
ground bar using PGND cables. When an IBBS700D/IBBS700T is configured, the
IBBS700D/IBBS700T on the left of the primary APM30H is connected to the external
ground bar using PGND cables.

radius of a breakout cable is at least 30 mm (1.18 in.).

The bending radius of an E1/T1 cable must be at least three times its diameter.

The bending radius of a signal cable must be at least five times its diameter.

Cable binding requirements


l

Cables of the same type must be bound together.

Different types of cables must be separately laid out and bound, with a minimum distance
of 30 mm (1.18 in.) from each other.

The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be damaged.

The cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must be
in a straight line.

The excess of the indoor cable ties is cut off. The excess of 5 mm (0.197 in.) of the outdoor
cable ties is reserved, and the cut surfaces are smooth without sharp edges.

After cables are installed, labels or nameplates must be attached to the cables at their ends,
curves, and interconnection positions.

Security requirements
l

When routing cables, avoid sharp objects, for example sharp edges on the wall. If necessary,
use tubes to protect the cables.

When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat insulation
materials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.

Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m or 3.937 in. is recommended) between equipment and
cables especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and equipment.

Indoor cabling requirements


l

Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.

Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into the
room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater than or equal to the minimum
bending radiuses of the cables.

When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.

Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements


l

Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.

The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.

When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50
mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put the
tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of
the tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.

When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do not
put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubes
to the cable holes in the base.

Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the installation
guide delivered with the clip.

Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the cables.

Determine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual situation. For
example, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at an interval of 1.5 m to 2 m (4.92 ft to 6.56
ft), CPRI fiber optic cables and power cables are secured with clips at an interval of 1 m
to 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92 ft). Ensure that the clips are evenly spaced and in the same direction.

When fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly and are routed
through the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too tightly.
NOTE

There are two types of clips: 3-hole clip and 6-hole clip, which are described as follows:
l

A 3-hole clip is shown by illustration a in the following figure. It is often used to fasten feeders.

A 6-hole clip is shown by illustration b in the following figure. It is often used to fasten power cables and
CPRI fiber optic cables.

After routing a DC power cable onto the platform on a tower, route it along the shortest
path to the rails surrounding the platform, and route it along the inside of the rails.

After routing a DC power cable close to the equipment on a tower, use clips to secure the
power cable onto a pole or the rails surrounding the platform. Ensure that there is no
excessively long distance between the equipment and the position where the power cable
is secured.

Cabling of PGND cables


l

PGND cables for a base station must be connected to the same group of ground bars.

PGND cables must be buried in the ground or routed indoors.

The external conductor 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 separately. A certain distance must be
reserved between them to prevent interference from each other.

Switches or fuses 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.

Cabling of E1 cables
l

E1 cables must not cross power cables, PGND cables, or RF cables when laid out. If
transmission cables are laid out with power cables, PGND cables, or RF cables in parallel,
the spacing between them must be greater than 30 mm (1.18 in.).

E1 cables are lined up straight and bound neatly with cable ties.

Sufficient slack is provided for E1 cables at turns.

E1 cables must not be pressed by the door of the cabinet when routed, as shown in the
following figure.

The operating temperature of fiber optic cables ranges from -40C to +60C (-40F to
+140F). If the actual temperature is beyond this range, take protective measures or select
another route.

Do not circle and twist cables.

Do not bind a fiber optic cable at the position where it bends.

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

When fiber optic cables are routed, the excess of the fiber optic cables must be coiled around
special devices, such as a fiber coiler.

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 13-84 Binding fiber optic cables

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

Unused optical connectors must be covered with dustproof caps.

The fiber optic cables must not be pressed by the door of the cabinet when routed, as shown
in the following figures.

Check as follows:
1. Check whether the indicator on the fuse terminal block that
connects power supply to the component is on. Skip this step
and go to step 2 if this component does not use any fuse
terminal block.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is on, the fuse is
faulty. In this case, replace the fuse according to the
instructions in Replacing a Fuse.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is off, go to step
2.
2. Use a multimeter to measure the input power to the component.
l If the input power is normal, replace the component.
l If the input power is abnormal, check whether the power
cable for the component is connected securely. If the power
cable is not securely connected, turn off the circuit breaker
for the component (if there is no circuit breaker for the
component, remove the connector from the power unit) and
reconnect the power cable. If the power cable is securely
connected, the protector (such as circuit breaker or fuse) on
the component may be damaged. In this case, replace the
damaged protector. If the protector cannot be replaced,
replace the upper-level power distribution component.

Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

1075

14 Indoor DC Scenario Where the BBU Is Installed Indoors


and an Outdoor APM30H (Ver.B) Supplies Power to RRUs

DBS3900
Installation Guide

When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat insulation
materials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.

Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m or 3.937 in. is recommended) between equipment and
cables especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and equipment.

Indoor cabling requirements


l

Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.

Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into the
room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater than or equal to the minimum
bending radiuses of the cables.

When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.

Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements


l

Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.

The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.

When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50
mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put the
tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of
the tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.

When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do not
put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubes
to the cable holes in the base.

Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the installation
guide delivered with the clip.

Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the cables.

Determine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual situation. For
example, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at an interval of 1.5 m to 2 m (4.92 ft to 6.56
ft), CPRI fiber optic cables and power cables are secured with clips at an interval of 1 m
to 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92 ft). Ensure that the clips are evenly spaced and in the same direction.

When fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly and are routed
through the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too tightly.
NOTE

There are two types of clips: 3-hole clip and 6-hole clip, which are described as follows:

the backplane is bent, broken, or missing. Replace the subrack
if necessary.
2. Insert the board into the subrack, and check the status of
indicators on the board.
3. If the indicators indicate an exception, remove the board, insert
it into a vacant slot holding the boards of the same type, and
check the status of the indicators.
l If the board works properly, the original slot is faulty. In
this case, replace the subrack.
l If the fault persists, the board is faulty. In this case, replace
the board.

Failure in the power


supply to other
components in the
cabinet

Check as follows:
1. Check whether the indicator on the fuse terminal block that
connects power supply to the component is on. Skip this step
and go to step 2 if this component does not use any fuse
terminal block.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is on, the fuse is
faulty. In this case, replace the fuse according to the
instructions in Replacing a Fuse.
l If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is off, go to step
2.
2. Use a multimeter to measure the input power to the component.
l If the input power is normal, replace the component.
l If the input power is abnormal, check whether the power
cable for the component is connected securely. If the power
cable is not securely connected, turn off the circuit breaker
for the component (if there is no circuit breaker for the
component, remove the connector from the power unit) and
reconnect the power cable. If the power cable is securely
connected, the protector (such as circuit breaker or fuse) on

Cable binding requirements


l

Cables of the same type must be bound together.

Different types of cables must be separately laid out and bound, with a minimum distance
of 30 mm (1.18 in.) from each other.

The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be damaged.

The cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must be
in a straight line.

The excess of the indoor cable ties is cut off. The excess of 5 mm (0.197 in.) of the outdoor
cable ties is reserved, and the cut surfaces are smooth without sharp edges.

After cables are installed, labels or nameplates must be attached to the cables at their ends,
curves, and interconnection positions.

Security requirements
l

When routing cables, avoid sharp objects, for example sharp edges on the wall. If necessary,
use tubes to protect the cables.

When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat insulation
materials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.

Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m or 3.937 in. is recommended) between equipment and
cables especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and equipment.

Indoor cabling requirements


l

Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.

Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into the
room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater than or equal to the minimum
bending radiuses of the cables.

When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.

Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements


l

Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.

The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.

When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50
mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put the
tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of
the tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.

When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do not
put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubes
to the cable holes in the base.

Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the installation
guide delivered with the clip.

Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the cables.

Determine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual situation. For
example, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at an interval of 1.5 m to 2 m (4.92 ft to 6.56
ft), CPRI fiber optic cables and power cables are secured with clips at an interval of 1 m
to 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92 ft). Ensure that the clips are evenly spaced and in the same direction.

When fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly and are routed
through the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too tightly.
NOTE

There are two types of clips: 3-hole clip and 6-hole clip, which are described as follows:
l

A 3-hole clip is shown by illustration a in the following figure. It is often used to fasten feeders.

A 6-hole clip is shown by illustration b in the following figure. It is often used to fasten power cables and

The operating temperature of fiber optic cables ranges from -40C to +60C (-40F to
+140F). If the actual temperature is beyond this range, take protective measures or select
another route.

Do not circle and twist cables.

Do not bind a fiber optic cable at the position where it bends.

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

When fiber optic cables are routed, the excess of the fiber optic cables must be coiled around
special devices, such as a fiber coiler.

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 15-82 Binding fiber optic cables

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

(Ver.C)

Indoor cabling requirements


l

Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.

Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into the
room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater than or equal to the minimum
bending radiuses of the cables.

When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.

Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements


l

Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.

The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.

When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50
mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put the
tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of
the tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.

When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do not
put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubes
to the cable holes in the base.

Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the installation
guide delivered with the clip.

Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the cables.

Determine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual situation. For
example, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at an interval of 1.5 m to 2 m (4.92 ft to 6.56
ft), CPRI fiber optic cables and power cables are secured with clips at an interval of 1 m
to 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92 ft). Ensure that the clips are evenly spaced and in the same direction.

When fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly and are routed
through the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too tightly.
NOTE

There are two types of clips: 3-hole clip and 6-hole clip, which are described as follows:
l

A 3-hole clip is shown by illustration a in the following figure. It is often used to fasten feeders.

onsite.

17.5.1 Cabling Requirements


Cables must be laid out according to the specified cabling requirements to prevent signal
interference.
NOTE

If a cable listed below is not required, skip the cabling requirements of the cable.

General Cabling Requirements


Bending radius requirements
l

The bending radius of a 7/8'' feeder must be greater than 250 mm (9.84 in.), and the bending
radius of a 5/4'' feeder must be greater than 380 mm (14.96 in.).

The bending radius of a 1/4'' jumper must be greater than 35 mm (1.38 in.). The bending
radius of a super-flexible 1/2'' jumper must be greater than 50 mm (1.97 in.), and the bending
radius of an ordinary 1/2'' jumper must be greater than 127 mm (5 in.).

The bending radius of a power cable or PGND cable must be at least three times its diameter.

The bending radius of a fiber optic cable is at least 20 times of its diameter, and the bending
radius of a breakout cable is at least 30 mm (1.18 in.).

The bending radius of an E1/T1 cable must be at least three times its diameter.

The bending radius of a signal cable must be at least five times its diameter.

Cable binding requirements


l

Cables of the same type must be bound together.

Different types of cables must be separately laid out and bound, with a minimum distance
of 30 mm (1.18 in.) from each other.

The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be damaged.

The cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must be
in a straight line.

The excess of the indoor cable ties is cut off. The excess of 5 mm (0.197 in.) of the outdoor
cable ties is reserved, and the cut surfaces are smooth without sharp edges.

After cables are installed, labels or nameplates must be attached to the cables at their ends,
curves, and interconnection positions.

Security requirements
l

When routing cables, avoid sharp objects, for example sharp edges on the wall. If necessary,
use tubes to protect the cables.

When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat insulation

17 Outdoor Scenario Where the BBU Is Installed in an OMB

Indoor cabling requirements


l

Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.

Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into the
room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater than or equal to the minimum
bending radiuses of the cables.

When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.

Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements


l

Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.

The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.

When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50
mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put the
tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of
the tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.

When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do not
put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubes
to the cable holes in the base.

Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the installation
guide delivered with the clip.

Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the cables.

Determine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual situation. For
example, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at an interval of 1.5 m to 2 m (4.92 ft to 6.56
ft), CPRI fiber optic cables and power cables are secured with clips at an interval of 1 m
to 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92 ft). Ensure that the clips are evenly spaced and in the same direction.

When fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly and are routed
through the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too tightly.
NOTE

There are two types of clips: 3-hole clip and 6-hole clip, which are described as follows:
l

A 3-hole clip is shown by illustration a in the following figure. It is often used to fasten feeders.

A 6-hole clip is shown by illustration b in the following figure. It is often used to fasten power cables and
CPRI fiber optic cables.

The bending radius of a signal cable must be at least five times its diameter.

Cable binding requirements


l

Cables of the same type must be bound together.

Different types of cables must be separately laid out and bound, with a minimum distance
of 30 mm (1.18 in.) from each other.

The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be damaged.

The cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must be
in a straight line.

The excess of the indoor cable ties is cut off. The excess of 5 mm (0.197 in.) of the outdoor
cable ties is reserved, and the cut surfaces are smooth without sharp edges.

After cables are installed, labels or nameplates must be attached to the cables at their ends,
curves, and interconnection positions.

Security requirements
l

When routing cables, avoid sharp objects, for example sharp edges on the wall. If necessary,
use tubes to protect the cables.

When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat insulation
materials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.

Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m or 3.937 in. is recommended) between equipment and
cables especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and equipment.

Indoor cabling requirements


l

Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.

Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into the
room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater than or equal to the minimum
bending radiuses of the cables.

When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.

Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements


l

Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.

The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.

When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50
mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put the
tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of
the tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.

When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do not
put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubes
to the cable holes in the base.

Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the installation
guide delivered with the clip.

ft), CPRI fiber optic cables and power cables are secured with clips at an interval of 1 m
to 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92 ft). Ensure that the clips are evenly spaced and in the same direction.

When fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly and are routed
through the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too tightly.
NOTE

There are two types of clips: 3-hole clip and 6-hole clip, which are described as follows:
l

A 3-hole clip is shown by illustration a in the following figure. It is often used to fasten feeders.

1394

19 Indoor DC Scenario Where the BBU Is Installed in a 19Inch Rack

DBS3900
Installation Guide

When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat insulation
materials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.

Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m or 3.937 in. is recommended) between equipment and
cables especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and equipment.

Indoor cabling requirements


l

Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.

Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into the
room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater than or equal to the minimum
bending radiuses of the cables.

When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.

Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements


l

Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.

The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.

When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50
mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put the
tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of
the tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.

When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do not
put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubes
to the cable holes in the base.

Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the installation
guide delivered with the clip.

Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the cables.

Determine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual situation. For
example, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at an interval of 1.5 m to 2 m (4.92 ft to 6.56
ft), CPRI fiber optic cables and power cables are secured with clips at an interval of 1 m
to 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92 ft). Ensure that the clips are evenly spaced and in the same direction.

When fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly and are routed
through the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too tightly.
NOTE

There are two types of clips: 3-hole clip and 6-hole clip, which are described as follows:
l

A 3-hole clip is shown by illustration a in the following figure. It is often used to fasten feeders.

A 6-hole clip is shown by illustration b in the following figure. It is often used to fasten power cables and
CPRI fiber optic cables.

The bending radius of a signal cable must be at least five times its diameter.

Cable binding requirements


l

Cables of the same type must be bound together.

Different types of cables must be separately laid out and bound, with a minimum distance
of 30 mm (1.18 in.) from each other.

The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be damaged.

The cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must be
in a straight line.

The excess of the indoor cable ties is cut off. The excess of 5 mm (0.197 in.) of the outdoor
cable ties is reserved, and the cut surfaces are smooth without sharp edges.

After cables are installed, labels or nameplates must be attached to the cables at their ends,
curves, and interconnection positions.

Security requirements
l

When routing cables, avoid sharp objects, for example sharp edges on the wall. If necessary,
use tubes to protect the cables.

When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat insulation
materials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.

Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m or 3.937 in. is recommended) between equipment and
cables especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and equipment.

Indoor cabling requirements


l

Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.

Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into the
room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater than or equal to the minimum
bending radiuses of the cables.

When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.

Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements


l

Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.

The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.

When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50
mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put the
tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of
the tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.

When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do not
put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubes
to the cable holes in the base.

Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the installation
guide delivered with the clip.

Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the cables.

radius of a breakout cable is at least 30 mm (1.18 in.).

The bending radius of an E1/T1 cable must be at least three times its diameter.

The bending radius of a signal cable must be at least five times its diameter.

Cable binding requirements


l

Cables of the same type must be bound together.

Different types of cables must be separately laid out and bound, with a minimum distance
of 30 mm (1.18 in.) from each other.

The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be damaged.

The cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must be
in a straight line.

The excess of the indoor cable ties is cut off. The excess of 5 mm (0.197 in.) of the outdoor
cable ties is reserved, and the cut surfaces are smooth without sharp edges.

After cables are installed, labels or nameplates must be attached to the cables at their ends,
curves, and interconnection positions.

Security requirements
l

When routing cables, avoid sharp objects, for example sharp edges on the wall. If necessary,
use tubes to protect the cables.

When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat insulation
materials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.

Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m or 3.937 in. is recommended) between equipment and
cables especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and equipment.

Indoor cabling requirements


l

Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.

Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into the
room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater than or equal to the minimum
bending radiuses of the cables.

When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.

Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements


l

Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.

The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.

When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50
mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put the
tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of
the tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.

When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do not
put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubes
to the cable holes in the base.

Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the installation
guide delivered with the clip.

Different types of cables must be separately laid out and bound, with a minimum distance
of 30 mm (1.18 in.) from each other.

The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be damaged.

The cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must be
in a straight line.

The excess of the indoor cable ties is cut off. The excess of 5 mm (0.197 in.) of the outdoor
cable ties is reserved, and the cut surfaces are smooth without sharp edges.

After cables are installed, labels or nameplates must be attached to the cables at their ends,
curves, and interconnection positions.

Security requirements
l

When routing cables, avoid sharp objects, for example sharp edges on the wall. If necessary,
use tubes to protect the cables.

When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat insulation
materials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.

Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m or 3.937 in. is recommended) between equipment and
cables especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and equipment.

Indoor cabling requirements


l

Route each cable into the room through the feeder window.

Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into the

Outdoor Cabling Requirements


l

Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.

The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.

When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50
mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put the
tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of
the tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.

When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do not
put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubes
to the cable holes in the base.

Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the installation
guide delivered with the clip.

Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the cables.

Determine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual situation. For
example, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at an interval of 1.5 m to 2 m (4.92 ft to 6.56
ft), CPRI fiber optic cables and power cables are secured with clips at an interval of 1 m
to 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92 ft). Ensure that the clips are evenly spaced and in the same direction.

When fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly and are routed
through the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too tightly.
NOTE

There are two types of clips: 3-hole clip and 6-hole clip, which are described as follows:
l

A 3-hole clip is shown by illustration a in the following figure. It is often used to fasten feeders.

A 6-hole clip is shown by illustration b in the following figure. It is often used to fasten power cables and
