 RBS 6601 is a very small indoor
Unit and that can be inserted into a
standard 19” rack already deployed
at site.

 The RBS 6601 makes use of Radio

Remote Unit (RRU) – This unit is
always mounted on the tower close
to the Antenna unit to minimize
the feeder loss, which drastically
reduced site power consumption.

 The RRU is a unit that combines all

the functions of RUW and ASC.
Meaning that both the ASC and
RUW functions are all embedded
on the RRU as a one unit.

Description
The SCU controls the fans and supports the external EC-bus including power to
the SAU.
The PCU is a DC or AC interface for the RBS.
The PCF connects -48 V DC power from the site batteries to the BFU.
The RU receives digital data and converts it to analog signals. It also receives
radio signals and converts these to digital signals.
The PDU distributes fused -48 V DC power to the units in the RBS.
The SHU connects peripheral. Units such as PSUs, PDUs, DUs, and the SCU to
the EC bus. The SHU is required if the RBS is equipped with PSUs.
The PSU converts incoming voltage to -48 V DC system voltage. The PSU is
available for 120-250 V AC and +24 V DC, -48 V DC, -60 V DC.
The PFU is mandatory for an -48 V DC powered RBS or an AC fed RBS with
external battery backup. One PFU can support up to six RUs.
The PCF connects -48 V DC power from the site to the bus bar.
The BFU supervises, connects, and disconnects the battery backup. The BFU
can be installed inside (internal) or outside the cabinet (external).
A space for optional equipment is provided that can be used for optional
transmission equipment. The space is 4 U high and 19 inches wide, and extends
250 mm behind and 50 mm in front of the 19–inch mounting rails. There are 40
mm spaces for cables at the front and the rear. 400 W is reserved in the power
consumption budget and 240 W for heat dissipation.
