z Cable binding
- Cables of the same type are bound together.
- Different types of cables must be separately routed withw a minimum spacing of 30 mm and cannot be entangled.
- The cables are bound tightly and neatly and the sheatths of the cables is intact.
- The cable ties face the same direction and all cable ties bound at similar positions must be in a straight line.
- The extra length of each indoor cable tie must be cut off. A slack of 5 mm is reserved for each outdoor cable tie
before the extra length is cut off. All cut surfaces are without
w sharp edges.
- Labels or nameplates are attached to both ends, jointts, or turns of cables after they are installed.

z Safety
- The steel pipe or fire-resistant rigid polyvinyl chloride pipe should be used for the cable duct or for routing
cables. The cross-sectional usage of the cable duct should be 30% to 50% and that of the pipe for routing
cables should be 25% to 30%.
- Cables are placed away from sharp objects or wall bu urrs. If these positions are inevitable, protection pipes are
required for the cables.
- Cables are routed away from heat sources, or heat-insulation materials are added between cables and heat
sources.
- A clearance is reserved at turns of a cable or the position close to a device, facilitating cable and device
maintenance. The recommended clearance is about 0.1 0 m.

z Requirements for Ethernet Cable

- A maximum of 100 Ethernet cables can be bundled if no PVC p pipes
p are used. If ppipes
p are used,, a maximum of
24 Ethernet cables can be led through a pipe. In this case,
c ensure that 1/3 space inside the pipes must be
vacant.
- The point at which an Ethernet cable is bundled must be spaced 400 mm or less from the Ethernet port on a
BTS3911B.
- For the BTS3911B used in the elevator engine room on o the rooftop, generator set for the subway engine, and
equipment room with central air conditioning, Etherneet cables must be led through metallic conduits that are
reliably grounded at both ends.

 Installing the cables

(1) Ethernet cable between BTS3911B and PSE

(2) Ethernet cable between PSE and External transmission device
(3) RGPS Jumpers (Optional)
(4) PSE Power cable

NOTE
• The total length of cables connected between the
BTS3911B, PSE, and external transmission device does
not exceed 100 m.
• RGPS signal cables, when routed outdoors, must be led
through PVC pipes instead of metal pipes.
• The lightning rod is prepared by customers

RGPS antenna.
