Input Power
The following table lists the input power of an AAU.
Equipment Specifications
The following table lists the equipment specifications of an AAU.
Power Consumption
The following table lists the power consumption of an AAU.
AAU5613 950 W
NOTE
The typical power consumption refers to the power consumption when the AAU runs with 50% load at
the 25°C (77°F) ambient temperature. The actual typical power consumption has a 10% deviation from
this value.
Physical Ports
Table 1-6 describes the physical ports on an AAU.
Indicators
Table 1-7 describes the indicators on an AAU.
l CPRI0 Red or Steady green The common public radio interface (CPRI)
l CPRI1 green link is working properly.
RET Function
Massive MIMO modules are 64T64R AAUs, and each antenna array has four independent RF
channels. The antenna beam tilt can be adjusted by changing the phase weights K1, K2, K3,
and K4 of the four RF channels.
Figure 1-4 shows the working principle of the RET system of a Massive MIMO module.

For details on the Massive MIMO service coverage solutions and engineering guidelines, see Massive
MIMO Feature Parameter Description.
NOTE
l The exterior and label on an optical module in this section are for reference only.
l A fiber optic cable must use the same type of optical modules on its two ends. If different types of
optical modules are used, performance risks may arise, for example, alarms, bit errors, and
interrupted links.
l Only Huawei-certified optical modules meeting the following requirements can be used for Huawei
wireless devices:
l Requirements of devices on which optical modules are to be installed
l Laser safety requirements in the IEC 60825-1 standard
l General safety requirements in the IEC 60950-1 standard
l For part numbers of SFP and QSFP optical modules certificated and provided by Huawei Wireless,
see Spare Parts Catalog.
l The puller of a single-mode optical module is blue and the puller of a multimode optical
module is black or gray.
l The transmission mode is displayed as "SM" on the label of a single-mode optical
module and "MM" on the label of a multimode optical module.
An AAU PGND cable connects an AAU and a ground bar for proper grounding of the AAU.
Figure 1-7 shows its exterior.
(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 the PGND cable, a copper-core cable with a minimum cross-sectional area of
16 mm2 (0.025 in.2) is recommended.
Exterior
The cable specifications depend on the actual AAU power and remote distance.
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 equipment. Both the two connectors
must be prepared on site. Figure 1-8 shows the exterior of an AAU power cable.

NOTE
The AAU5613 must use either of the following power supply solutions:
l One EPU02S with one group of power cables. The EPU02S uses one 40 A fuse to distribute power
for the AAU.
l One DCDU-12B with two groups of power cables and one ODM03D. For details on the ODM03D,
see ODM03D User Guide. The specifications of the upper-level circuit breaker for the DCDU-12B
are 2x80 A. For details, see the description of the DCDU-12B in 3900 & 5900 Series Base Station
Hardware Description.
l The maximum distance of 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.
