NOTE
If a cable listed below is not required, skip the cabling requirements of the cable.
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.
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.
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.
(1) Cable hole for feeders (2) Cable hole for fiber optic cables (3) Cable hole for power cables
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.
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.
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.
l The fiber optic cables must not be pressed by the door of the cabinet when routed, as
shown in the following figures.
