Table 3-1 RATs and frequency bands supported by an RRU5818 (2300 MHz)
a: ATBR in the TX/RX Mode column indicates that the RF module uses A
transmit channels and B receive channels.
b: The number of carriers in the Capacity column refers to the maximum
number of carriers that can be configured for the module in single-mode
scenarios, not the number of carriers that can be configured for a single
channel. For details about the module-level and channel-level carrier
configurations supported in single-mode and multimode scenarios, see the
Output Power Configuration column in the following table. When the module
is used with a feature, see the feature specification information in the
corresponding feature parameter description to learn the module-level or
channel-level supported carrier configurations after the feature is enabled.
Table 3-3 Output power and carrier configurations of an RRU5818 (2300 MHz)
a: AxC W in the Maximum Output Power column indicates that the number of
TX channels of the RF module is A and the maximum output power of each TX
channel is C W.

NOTE
The output power of an RRU temporarily decreases when it operates at temperature ranges
10ºC (18ºF) less than or equal to its maximum rated value. This is dependent on
installation scenario, traffic load, and carrier configuration.
NOTE
● Unless otherwise specified, the lightning protection specifications depend on the surge
waveform of 8/20 μs.
● Unless otherwise specified as maximum discharge current, all the surge current items refer
to nominal discharge current.

The maximum level of cascading between an RRU and a BBU depends on the
cascading capability of the RRU working in different RATs and the bandwidth
resources of the CPRI ports on the BBU side. The following table lists the
maximum levels of cascading and maximum distance between an RRU and a BBU
when the RRU works in a single mode.
