3x90W triple RFM (FXxB) Powering
Optional Power cable
The DC cable is not included in the 90 W RF Module delivery. 48 VDC power can be fed from a System Module or directly from an external
power source. DC cable requirements depends upon O/P power, input Voltage, and MHA/RET use.
Option 1: FPCA Dual Power Cable 2 m (6.6 ft)” 472806A”
• Check table in next slide for use of Dual power cable. With Dual power cable Max 2 RFM can be connected with System Module

Option 2: FPCC DC cable multibeam-open 2m (6.6 ft) ” 472823A”
• Check table in next slide for use of single cable. Up to 4 RFMs can be connected with System
Module when single power cable is used.

3x90W RFM

To minimize potential site work, consider future expansion when selecting DC cables.

Note : Check the power consumption. If power demand exceeds 30A, as may happen with low operating voltages with 3x90W RF Modules operating in full power
mode, it is recommended to use bigger fuses in the DC feed lines. If you use a integrated power distribution unit (PDU), system module with 30A output capability,
then it is recommended to use the dual power cable FPCA 472806A

- The sectors are spread over 2 RMs to allow maximum availability
-If one RM becomes unavailable, the total traffic gets reduced and RX Diversity would be lost
- Considering 35MHz IBW * With ESMC/FSMG/FSMF
**Both the branches must be tuned to the same RF Frequency Range
