Physical Ports
Table 1-2 describes the physical ports on an AAU.
Indicators
Table 1-3 describes the indicators on an AAU.
Optical modules must be used in pairs on both ends of an optical fiber. The
following table describes the mapping.
NOTICE
An optical fiber must use the optical modules with the same specifications on
both ends. If optical modules with different specifications are used, performance
risks may arise, for example, alarms, bit errors, and interrupted links.
SFP duplex (two-fiber SFP duplex optical modules with the same

for short) optical
module
SFP BIDI (single-fiber SFP BIDI optical modules are used on both sides.
bidirectional, BIDI for ● The receive and transmit wavelengths of optical
short) optical module modules on both sides have the mapping
relationship. For example, if the receive and transmit
wavelengths of the optical module on the BBU side
are 1270TX/1330RX, those on the AAU side are
1330TX/1270RX.
● Except for wavelengths, the specifications of optical
modules are the same.
● The exteriors and labels of optical modules in this section are for reference only. The
actual exteriors and labels may be different.
● Optical modules to be installed must match the rates of their corresponding ports.
● Only Huawei-certified optical modules meeting the following requirements can be used
for Huawei wireless devices:
● Environment, feature, and specifications requirements of devices on which optical
modules are to be installed
● Laser safety requirements in IEC 60825-1
● General safety requirements in IEC 60950-1
● The supported maximum remote distance varies with the optical module. For details,
see "CPRI Optical Fibers" in 3900 & 5900 Series Base Station Cables. CPRI optical fibers
are configured based on application scenarios.

There is a label on each optical module, which provides information such as the
rate, wavelength, and transmission mode, as shown in the following figure.

(1) OT terminal (M6, 16 mm2 or 0.025 in.2) (2) OT terminal (M8, 16 mm2 or 0.025 in.2)
NOTE
If the customer prepares a PGND cable, a copper-core cable with a minimum cross-
sectional area of 16 mm2 (0.025 in.2) is recommended.
NOTE
● The maximum distance supported by an AAU power cable is 100 m (328.08 ft). Contact
Huawei engineers when an AAU power cable longer than 100 m (328.08 ft) is required.
● If a power device is provided by the customer, the recommended specification of the
circuit breaker on this power device is 40 A.
Exterior
The connector at one end of an AAU power cable is a female fast connector
(screw-free type) and the connector at the other end depends on the power
device. The two connectors must be prepared onsite. Figure 1-9 shows the
exterior of an AAU power cable.

Cable Description
The outer diameter of an AAU power cable ranges from 10.8 mm to 16.4 mm
(0.43 in. to 0.65 in.). The following tables describe the AAU power cable.

NOTE
It is recommended that the AAU5613 use the following power supply solutions:
● One DCDU-12B with two groups of power cables and one ODM03D. The specifications
of the upper-level circuit breakers for the DCDU-12B are 2x80 A. For details about the
ODM03D, see ODM03D User Guide.
● One DCDU16D with one group of power cables. The specifications of the upper-level
circuit breakers for the DCDU16D are 2x80 A.
