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.

BTS3012 (Ver.D_Z)
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
and CPRI fiber optic cables.

Special Cabling Requirements

Cabling of 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 can only be laid out under well-planned instructions. The cabling activities of
fiber optic cables are allowed only when qualified personnel and communication
facilities are available.
l Do not circle and twist cables.

BTS3012 (Ver.D_Z)
l 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.
l 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.
l PGND cables must be buried in the ground or routed indoors.
l 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.
l PGND cables and signal cables must be installed separately. A certain distance must be
reserved between them to prevent interference from each other.
l Switches or fuses 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 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.).
l E1 cables are lined up straight and bound neatly with cable ties.
l Sufficient slack is provided for E1 cables at turns.
l E1 cables must not be pressed by the door of the cabinet when routed, as shown in the
following figure.
Figure 10-4 E1 cables routed in the cabinet
Cabling of fiber optic cables

l At least three people are required for laying out fiber optic cables. The cabling activities
of fiber optic cables are allowed only when qualified personnel and communication
facilities are available.

BTS3012 (Ver.D_Z)
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.
l Do not circle and twist cables.
l Do not bind a fiber optic cable at the position where it bends.
l Do not stretch, step on, or place heavy objects on fiber optic cables. Keep the fiber optic
cables away from sharp objects.
l When fiber optic cables are routed, the excess of the fiber optic 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 10-5 Binding fiber optic cables
l When coiling fiber optic cables, apply even strength. Do not bend the fiber optic cables
with force.
l Unused optical connectors must be covered with dustproof caps.
