1.5 Conventions used

In this document, all parts are described as they are shipped. Metric parts are specified
in metric units. Non-metric parts are specified in non-metric units.
Lengths and other measurements are given in metric units, with non-metric units given
as equivalents for use in non-metric markets.
For manufactured parts, the following system of conventions is used:
• Metric sizes of nuts, bolts, flat washers, and lock washers are identified by an
uppercase letter M followed immediately by a size in millimeters (example: M10)
• American fractional sizes of nuts, bolts, anchor bolts, and washers are identified by a
number followed immediately by a double apostrophe (example: 3/8"). In the case of
lengths measured in feet, "2 feet" is used rather than "2'" so that the single
apostrophe is not overlooked.
The illustrations in this document do not contain all details and exceptions, but are rather
intended to highlight main points. Dimensions are usually shown in millimeters, with
inches in parenthesis. As an example, 680.0 (26.77) equals 680 millimeters or 26.77
inches.
Wire gauges are specified in metric units. Equivalent sizes in the American Wire Gauge
(AWG) system are given in the following table.
Standard cross-sections and wire diameter of round copper conductors

w NOTICE: The optical cable is very sensible, take the maximum precaution when
installing it. Never clean the fiber with a dry tissue. Never touch (with the fingers) the
fiber end face of the connector. Do not use tie wrap on the fiber cable. The fiber optic
connector should be protected by cap when not being used. Respect the bending
radius during the manipulation of optic cable (82.5mm)
.
g Note: 7mm is the required diameter for optical cable to ensure a correct waterproofing
in case of outdoor installation when cavity area is closed. In case of 5.5mm OD for
Optical fibers, on RRH side, PVC Rubber must be used to fit the optic cable external
diameter to 7mm.
Before you start

Before the installation, single-mode optical modules can be distinguished from multi-
mode optical modules in either of the following ways:
• SM and MM labels on an optical module: SM indicates a single-mode optical module,
and MM indicates a multi-mode optical module.
• Color of the puller on an optical module: Blue indicates a single-mode optical
module, and black or gray indicates a multi-mode optical module.
Procedure
1 Lower the pullers of two optical modules, insert one optical module into the SFP in
CPRI0 port on the RRH and the other optical module into the SFP in CPRI port on the
BBU, and raise the pullers.
Installing an optical module:
