1.13 Installing Cables

This section describes cable connections in a DBS5900 (BBU5900A) base station
and the procedure for installing the cables.
1.13.1 Cabling Requirements

Cables must be routed according to specified cabling requirements to prevent
signal interference.

BBU5900A
If a cable listed below is not required, skip the cabling requirements of the cable.
General Cabling Requirements

Bending radius requirements
● 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.).
● 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.).
● The bending radius of a power cable or PGND cable must be at least three
times the cable diameter.
● The bending radius of an optical fiber is at least 20 times its diameter, and the
bending radius of a breakout cable is at least 30 mm (1.18 in.).
● The bending radius of an E1/T1 cable must be at least three times its
diameter.
● The bending radius of a signal cable must be at least five times its diameter.
Cable binding requirements
● Cables of the same type must be bound together.
● Different types of cables must be separately routed and bound, with a
minimum distance of 30 mm (1.18 in.) from each other.
● The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must
not be damaged.
● The cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal
line must be in a straight line.
● The excess of the indoor cable ties needs to be cut off. A 5 mm (0.20 in.)
excess needs to be reserved for each outdoor cable tie, without any sharp
edges.
● After cables are installed, labels or nameplates must be attached to the cables
at their ends, curves, and interconnection positions.
Security requirements
● When routing cables, avoid sharp objects or sharp edges on the wall. If
necessary, use tubes to protect the cables.
● When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat
insulation materials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.
● Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m or 0.33 ft is recommended) between
equipment and cables, especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and
equipment.
Indoor cabling requirements
● Cables are routed indoors through the feeder window.
● 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.

BBU5900A
● When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in
the room.
● Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.
Outdoor Cabling Requirements

● 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.
● Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables
through tubes.
● The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and
cables routed underground.
● 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.
● 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.
● 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. This prevents water from entering the maintenance cavity of the
RRU along the cables.
● Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the
installation guide delivered with the clip.
● Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the
cables.
● Determine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual
situation. For example, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at interval of 1.5 m
to 2 m (4.92 ft to 6.56 ft), CPRI/Ir optical fibers and power cables are secured
with clips at interval of 1 m to 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92 ft). Ensure that the clips
are evenly spaced and face the same direction.
● 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.
● Cable ties are used to assist in binding cables. One cable tie can bind a
maximum of two cables.
There are two types of clips which are described as follows:

● A 3-hole clip is shown by illustration a in the following figure. It is often used
to fasten feeders.
● A 6-hole clip is shown by illustration b in the following figure. It is often used
to fasten power cables and CPRI/Ir optical fibers. The mapping between the
6-hole clip specifications and the cross-sectional area specifications of the
RRU/AAU power cable is listed in the following table.

Special Cabling Requirements

Cabling of power cables
● Power cables must be installed in the position specified in engineering design
documents.
● If the length of a cable cannot meet the requirement, replace the cable rather
than adding connectors or soldering joints to lengthen the cables.
● Cables can only be routed under well-planned instructions. The cabling
activities are allowed only when qualified personnel and communication
facilities are available.
● Do not circle or twist cables.

BBU5900A
● 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.
● 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 the position where the power cable is secured is less than 1.5 m (4.92
ft) away from the equipment to which the power cable connects.
Cabling of PGND cables
● PGND cables for a base station must be connected to the same group of
ground bars.
● PGND cables cannot be routed overhead outdoors. All PGND cables must be
buried in the ground or laid out indoors.
● 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.
● PGND cables and signal cables must be installed with a certain distance
reserved between them to prevent interference from each other.
● Switches or fuses must not be installed on the PGND cables.
● Other devices must not be used for electrical connections of the PGND cables.
● All the metal parts in the housing of the equipment must be reliably
connected to the ground terminal.
Cabling of optical fibers
● At least three persons are required for routing optical fibers. The cabling
activities of optical fibers are allowed only when qualified personnel and
communication facilities are available.
● The operating temperature of optical fibers ranges from -40ºC to +60ºC
(-40ºF to +140ºF). If the actual temperature is beyond this range, take
protective measures or select another route.
● Do not circle or twist cables.
● Do not bind optical fibers at the position where they bend.
● Do not stretch, step on, or place heavy objects on optical fibers. Keep the
optical fibers away from sharp objects.
● When optical fibers are routed, the excess of the optical fibers must be coiled
around special equipment, such as a fiber coiler.
● An optical jumper must be bound using binding straps. If an optical fiber
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 optical fibers can flexibly move in the cable
ties. Right angle bending is not allowed. The following figure shows the
correct and incorrect manners of binding optical fibers.

BBU5900A
Figure 1-87 Binding optical fibers
● When coiling optical fibers, apply even strength. Do not bend the optical
fibers with force.
● Unused optical connectors must be covered with dustproof caps.
● When routing optical fibers through the BBU5900A maintenance cavity, route
them along the cable tray, as shown in the following figure.

BBU5900A
Figure 1-88 Installing CPRI optical fibers if dual-fiber bidirectional optical

modules are used
● After routing an optical fiber 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.
● After routing an optical fiber near the equipment on a tower, use clips to
secure the optical fiber onto a pole or the rails surrounding the platform.
Ensure that the distance between the equipment and the position where the
optical fiber is secured is not too long.
● Coil the excess of the optical fibers near the equipment on the tower before
securing the cables onto the tower.

1.13.4.2 Installing an OPM200 Input Power Cable

This section describes the procedure for installing an OPM200 input power cable.
Prerequisites
An OT connector is added to the OPM200 input power cable on the OPM200 side.
See Assembling the OT Terminal and the Power Cable.
Context
● A connector must be added to the end of an OPM200 input power cable on
the power equipment side onsite.
● Connectors on AC power cables for equipment cannot be inserted or removed
when the equipment is not powered off.
NOTICE
● OPM200 input power cables must be routed and protected according to local
laws and regulations, industry standards, and operators' standards.
● When installing the input power cable for an OPM200, connect the power
cable to the OPM200 first and then to the power equipment. Incorrect
connection sequence or reverse connection of positive and negative poles may
cause component damage or personal injury.
● It is recommended that checking and maintenance be performed regularly to
reduce the impact of aging and detect damage caused by occasional force.
● When installing the input power cable for an OPM200, both ends of the "PE"
wire of the AC power cable must be grounded.
● Before installing an OPM200 power cable, ensure that the upper-level circuit
breaker is disconnected and no voltage is detected on the power cable.

components in the block that connects power supply to the component
module is on. (Skip this step and go to step 2 if this
component does not use any fuse terminal block.)
– If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is on,
the fuse is faulty. In this case, replace the fuse
according to the instructions in "Replacing a Fuse".
– If the indicator on the fuse terminal block is off,
go to step 2.
2. Use a multimeter to measure the input power of the
