10.1 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.).
l 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.).
l The bending radius of a power cable or PGND cable must be at least three times its
diameter.
l 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.).
l The bending radius of an E1/T1 cable must be at least three times its diameter.
l 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.
l Different types of cables must be separately laid out and bound, with a minimum
distance of 30 mm (1.18 in.) from each other.
l The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be
damaged.
l The cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must be
in a straight line.
l 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.
l 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.
l When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat insulation
materials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.
l 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.

Issue 04 (2015-12-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 98


Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
BTS3012 (Ver.D_Z)
Installation Guide 10 Installing Cables

l 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.
l When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.
l Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements


l After being connected to a ground clip on power cables, a ground cable must be routed
downwards to prevent water from entering the equipment to which the power cables
connect.
l Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through
tubes.
l The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laid
out underground.
l 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.
l 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.
l When routing RRU cables, ensure that the highest positions of the routes of all RRU
cables (except RF cables and AISG cables) are lower than the bottom of the RRU to
prevent water from entering the maintenance cavity of the RRU.
l Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the
installation guide delivered with the clip.
l Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the cables.
l 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.
l 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.
l A 6-hole clip is shown by illustration b in the following figure. It is often used to fasten power cables

If the input power is normal, replace the component.
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.

NOTE

l If there are labels on the positions for attaching the nameplate and qualification card, ensure that the new
stuck nameplate and qualification card cover the original labels.
l If there is a barcode on the cabinet door, remove it and stick a new one.
l Stick each label only once because the second attachment may result in air bubbles, which weaken the
adhesive.
