Precautions for Site Selection


l The base station must be deployed far away from the following pollution sources: at least
2 km away from mild pollution sources such as food factories and tanneries, at least 3.7
km away from medium pollution sources such as chemical plants, rubber plants,
electroplate factories, and livestock rooms, and at least 5 km away from heavy pollution
sources such as smelting plants or coal mines. If this is not possible, select a site location
in the perennial upwind direction of the pollution source.
l Do not deploy the base station nearby an interference source, such as a broadcast and
television tower, high-voltage tower, high-power radio transmitter, and radar station. If
this is not possible, the interference field strength must not be higher than the shielding
specifications of the base station for useless radiation.
l The base station cannot be deployed under trees in case that leaves and gums affect
normal working of the base station. If this is not possible, shelters are required to be
installed at 0.3 m to 0.5 m above the base station.
l The ground for the base station must be at least 600 mm higher than the maximum flood
level recorded in the area.
l For the sake of surge protection, the mounting height of an AC-powered base station
should not be greater than 10 m. Do not deploy the base station on the mountain top,
standalone pole in suburban areas or open fields, towers, standalone rooftop in non-urban
areas, highways, or railways. If this is not possible, contact Huawei through related
channels.

Requirements for the Upper-level Circuit Breaker


Type C bipolar circuit breakers in compliance with IEC 60934 are recommended. Circuit
breakers must be configured for both L and N wires for the sake of O&M security.

15.2 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
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.
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°.
To ensure expeditious conduction, the surface of the metal contact strips must be clean.

Issue 04 (2017-01-17) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 81


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
BTS3911E
Installation Guide 15 References

The metal contact strips must be in good contact with the RJ45 socket. The plastic septa must
remain intact and must be aligned properly.
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 15-7 shows an unqualified piece, and Figure 15-8 shows a
qualified piece.
NOTE

All unqualified pieces must be crimped again.

Figure 15-7 Metal contact strips of different heights

Step 3 Check whether the metal contact strips are clean. If they are not clean and the dirt cannot be
removed, replace it with a new RJ45 connector. Figure 15-10 shows an unqualified piece.

Figure 15-10 Dirt on a metal contract strip

Step 4 Check whether the metal contact strips and the plastic septa are well aligned and intact. If a
part is skewed and it cannot be fixed, replace it with a new RJ45 connector. Figure 15-11
shows an unqualified piece.

Figure 15-11 Skew plastic septa

Step 5 Hold the connector, with the side facing towards you, and check whether you can see the
cross-sections of the core wires. Ensure that the ends of the core wires are in good contact
with the edge of the RJ45 trough, and that the soldering edge of a metal contact strip
surpasses the ends of the core wires and is reliably crimped with the core wires. If not, replace
it with a new RJ45 connector. Figure 15-12 shows an unqualified piece.

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.

15.6 Attaching a Sign Plate Label


This section describes the procedure 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, PGND cable, and signal cable. This
section uses 15.5 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 15-24. Ensure that the cable ties are led through the holes of the label in the same
direction.

Figure 15-24 Binding the label

(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-BTS
cascading scenarios, one end of the cascading FE/GE cable is connected to FE/GE0 port
on BTS0, and the other end connected to FE/GE1 port on BTS1. In this case, both ends
of the cable should bind the two labels "Small Cell0 FE/GE0" and "Small Cell1 FE/
GE1". As shown in Figure 15-25, the distance between the two labels is recommended
from 10 mm to 20 mm (0.39 in. to 0.79 in.).

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 15-26.

Figure 15-26 Securing the label on the cable

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

NOTE

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

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.).
