Overview
This document provides reference for planning and deploying an active antenna
unit 5726 (AAU5726, which is referred to as AAU in this document). It describes
the exterior, functions, engineering specifications, ports, indicators, RET system,
optical modules, and cables of the AAU.
The exteriors of components and cables in this document are for reference only.
The actual exteriors may be different.

Physical Ports
Figure 1-5 shows and Table 1-2 describes the ports on an AAU.
Indicators
Table 1-3 describes the indicators on an AAU.
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.

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.

An AAU PGND cable connects an AAU and a ground bar for proper grounding of
the AAU. Figure 1-8 shows its exterior.

in.2]) in.2])
NOTE
If the customer prepares the 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 50 A.
Exterior
The connector at one end of an AAU power cable is an outdoor quick-lock power
connector 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 9.9 mm to 16.4 mm (0.39
in. to 0.65 in.). The following tables describe the AAU power cable.

NOTE
The AAU5726 requires one EPU02S with one group of power cables. The specifications of
the upper-level circuit breakers for the EPU02S are 2x100 A.
Exterior
The CPRI optical fiber must be protected by an outdoor quick-lock optical fiber
connector. Figure 1-10 and Figure 1-11 show the exteriors of the connector and
the CPRI optical fiber, respectively.
