antenna type and installation scenario.
When installing the antenna support on the tower, adhere to the following principles:
19. The installation plane of the antenna support is perpendicular to the horizontal plane.
20. The pole for the lightning rod should be installed separately on the tower. The lightning rod
should be placed high enough to bring the protection areas of all the antennas below 45°.

21. The antenna support should be installed in the direction that does not affect the
transmit/receive performance and direction adjustment regulation of the antenna.
22. A stiffener should be used to fasten the rotating lever. The expansion lever and the rotating
lever should be cut into proper length. The cross-section should be welded with a waterproof
cover.
23. The antenna support must not have any dry and open welds. It is recommended that the
support be made of galvanized steel. The surface of the support should be coated with antirust
paint.
24. For the directional antenna, the length of the pole depends on that of the antenna. In wide
coverage application, high gain antennas are generally used. Such antennas are long, so it is
recommended that the length of the pole be greater than 3 m and that the diameter range from
60 mm to 114 mm (generally 75 mm).For the uni-polarization antenna, the distance between
the two diversities of the two antennas serving one sector should be at least 2 m.

25. Generally, an omni-directional antenna is a uni-polarization antenna. The distance

between diversities should be at least 2 m. The length of the support lever of pole should
be greater than 1.5 m. The pole must be made of 75 mm round steel and it should have a
length of 1 m and a diameter of 60–114 mm. During installation, the pole should be flush
with the fixing hoop of the antenna. The pole should not be installed at a very high
position because the omni-directional antenna is long. The top of the antenna should be
within the protection angle of the lightning rod.

4.2.3 Preparing the Antenna Support on the Rooftop

There are many types of antenna support. You need to select a suitable type according to the
antenna type and installation scenario.
When installing the antenna support on the rooftop, adhere to the following principles:
26. The strength of the materials for the antenna support and pole should meet the requirements
of antenna load capacity and wind load.
27. The connecting pieces for the stiffener should be installed in the positions where the
regulation of the antenna orientation and tilt is not affected.
28. The antenna support should be perpendicular to the horizontal plane.
29. The base of the antenna support, the anchor of the stiffener, and their expansion bolts should
be covered with concrete.
When a directional antenna is installed on the rooftop, a lightning rod should be installed on the
antenna support, and the antenna support should be connected to the grounding grid of the
building. When an omni-directional antenna is installed on the rooftop, a lightning rod should be
installed onto a separate support. If a lightning rod is installed onto the support of the omni-
directional antenna, the omni-directional antenna should be extended from the support for 1 to 1.5
m. If there are enclosing walls on the rooftop, the antenna support can be installed on an enclosing
wall. Ensure that the main supporting post is vertical to the surface of the rooftop. In addition,
ensure that the antenna support is equipped with a surge protector and connected to the grounding
grid of the building.
Specifications of the directional antenna support and pole on a rooftop
(1) For the uni-polarization directional antenna, because of the requirements for diversity spacing,
the distance between the two poles supporting the two antennas should be at least.

(2) The length of the pole depends on that of the antenna. It is recommended that the length of the
pole be greater than 2.5 mm and that the diameter range from 60 mm to 114 mm.
The main supporting post of antenna support should be longer than the antenna. The relation
between h and d should meet the specifications illustrated in and listed in Table, where h indicates
the valid vertical distance between the lower edge of the antenna and the rooftop in the direction
that the antenna faces, and d indicates the distance between the edge of the rooftop in the direction
that the antenna faces and the antenna support.

Specifications of the omni-directional antenna support and pole on a rooftop
(1) Generally, an omni-directional antenna is a uni-polarization antenna. To meet the

requirements of diversity spacing, ensure that the distance between two antenna poles is
greater than 2 m.
(2) After installation, the top of the pole should be flush with the fixing hoop in the lower part
of the antenna. Therefore, the omni-directional antenna pole does not need to be long. The
length of the pole only needs to meet the specifications.
(3) Generally, the omni-directional antenna pole should have a diameter of 60 mm to110 mm
and should be made of 75 mm round steel.
(4) The omni-directional antenna is long and therefore the antenna top is much higher than the
pole top. In this case, the surge protector should not be welded directly to the pole but should
be installed separately in the middle of the two antenna poles. Ensure that the top of omni-
directional antenna is within the protection angle of the surge protector, as shown in .In some
cases, the surge protector may not be prepared independently due to limited conditions.
Instead, you can use the following method shown in .

4.3 Cable Requirements of the eNodeB
4.3.1 Requirements for Materials of the Indoor eNodeB Cables

Generally, the power cables, grounding cables, and transmission cables are delivered with the
equipment. If you prepare these cables yourself, the cables should comply with related
requirements.
Table Construction Preparations of the DBS3900 TDLTE-3 Requirements for materials of the
indoor eNodeB cables
Cable Type Specification
Power cable The power cables without jackets should be insulated with PVC
materials. If the power cables are required to be weatherproof or
high/low-temperature resistant, materials such as silicone rubber, FEP,
or PFA can be used for insulation.
The power cables with PVC jackets should be insulated through PVC
or XLPE materials. If there are fire-resistant requirements such as
halogen-free and low smoke, use power cables with LSZH jackets.
The high/low-temperature resistant power cables should be coated with
FEP jackets.
Symmetric cable The symmetric cables should be insulated through PE, PP, or PVC
materials and coated with PVC or PE jackets. If there are fire-resistant
requirements such as halogen-free and low smoke, use power cables
with LSZH jackets.
Coaxial cable The coaxial cables should be insulated through PE, PTFE, or FEP
materials and coated with PVC or FEP jackets.
PGND cable The PGND cables should be copper-based and insulated with green
and yellow plastic jackets.
When selecting the indoor cables, you should consider the fire-resistant requirements. Weather proofing
requirements for the indoor cables are not high. Thus, use cables coated with PVC jackets as indoor cables.
If fire-resistant requirements for the cables are high, use cables that are insulated with fire-resistant materials
such as PE or PVC and coated with fire-resistant PVC jackets.
If there are strict requirements for smoke density, and transmittance of the halogen gas released after the
cables caught fire, use cables coated with comparatively expensive LSZH jackets.
Insulating materials and protection jackets of the cables must comply with the Restriction of Hazardous
Substance (RoHS) requirements.
The cable materials can either be customized or comply with local regulations.

4.3.2 Cabling Requirements for the eNodeB

The power cables and signal cables should be routed in compliance with the cabling specifications
to avoid electromagnetic interference to the signals.
Table Construction Preparations of the DBS3900 TDLTE-4 Requirements for Bending

Radius of the Cables
Cable Type Requirements for the

Bending Radius
Feeder 1/2" feeder ≥ 127 mm

7/8" feeder ≥ 250 mm
5/4" feeder ≥ 380 mm
13/8" feeder ≥ 510 mm
Jumper 1/4" jumper ≥ 35 mm
1/2" jumper ≥ 50 mm
Single-jacket cable 2.5 mm ≤ D ≤ 4.5 mm R≥2D
D ≥ 4.5 mm R≥3D
Two-wire or multi-wire 6.5 mm ≤ D ≤ 12.5 mm R≥2D
cables with or without
shielding layers D ≥ 12.5 mm R≥3D
Optical cable R ≥ 20 D
In the preceding table, D refers to the diameter of the cable jacket and R refers to the bending radius of the
cable.
Requirements for Binding Cables
 Cables of different types should be routed separately and cannot be kinked.

 The cables should be bound tightly and neatly without damage to cable jackets.
 The cable ties should be at an interval of 200 mm and face the same direction. The cable ties
at the same position should be placed at the same level. The cut surface of the cable ties
should be smooth without sharp projections.
 Labels should be attached to the cables after installation.
General Cabling Specifications
 Cables of different types should be routed separately.

 Cables of different types cannot be crossed.

 The spacing between cables of different types should be greater than 30 mm when the cables
are routed parallel in the cabinet. The spacing between cables of different types should be
greater than 100 mm when the cables are routed parallel outside the cabinet. If such
requirements cannot be met, the cables should be separated with specific objects.
Cabling Requirements for Power Cables and PGND Cables
 The power cables and PGND cables should be routed in compliance with the engineering
design and general cabling specifications. If the cable is not long enough, replace the cable.
Do not add connectors or solder joints to lengthen the cable.
 The cables should be insulated if they are bound and routed on the metal cable rack.
 Fuses or switches are not allowed on the cables.
 The -48 V power cable and the GND cable should be bound together.
 Both ends of the grounding cables should be anti-corrosive and anti-rust. Connections of the
grounding cables should be secure.
The low-voltage AC power cable for the base station should be led through a metallic conduit
and buried in the ground for at least 50 m before it is led into the equipment room. If the AC
power cable is shorter than 50 m, it should be completely routed under the ground. If such
cables are routed overhead and led into the room, surge protection for the connectors of the
AC power cables are seriously affected. The PGND cable should be buried in the ground or
routed indoors. The PGND cable cannot be routed overhead outdoors before it is led into the
equipment room.
Cabling Requirements for Optical Cables
 The optical cables should be routed in compliance with the engineering design and general
cabling specifications.
 Proper cable surpluses should be left at the turning of the optical cables.
 Do not stretch, step over, or place heavy objects on the optical cables. Keep the cables away
from sharp objects to avoid damage. The optical cable that is curved or pressed or the optical
connector that is damaged cannot be used.
 Extra optical cables should be coiled on the specified device such as the fiber coiler. Use
moderate force to coil the optical cables. Do not bend the cables forcibly lest they be
damaged.
 If unprotected bare fibers are used, the protection tubes can be adopted as required.
 The idle connectors of the optical cables should be covered with dustproof caps.
 If one end of the optical cable is connected to an optical device, do not look directly at the
optical connector to prevent your eyes from being damaged by the infrared laser emitted by
the optical port.
 Fill soft materials such as fireproof cottons in the optical cable inlets at the top of the cabinet
to protect the optical cables.
 You need to check whether the optical connectors are clean before installation. If the optical
connectors are dirty, clean them by using the dust free cloth or fiber cleaner.

4.4 Preparation of Personnel for the Installation

The equipment installation process is also a process of on site training. It is recommended that the
maintenance personnel participate in the training. In this way, the maintenance personnel can get
familiar with the equipment as soon as possible.
