Wireless Standards and Air Interface Protocols
The Fusion Wideband system supports major wireless standards and air interface protocols in
use around the world, including:
•Frequencies—700 MHz, 800 MHz, 850 MHz, 1700 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz, 2100 MHz,
2500 MHz, 2600 MHz
•Voice Protocols—AMPS, CDMA, GSM/EGSM, LTE, TDMA, WCDMA
•Data Protocols—1xRTT, CDPD, CDMA2000, EDGE, EV-DO, GPRS, LTE, Paging, WCDMA.
Configurable Bands
The Fusion Wideband system supports three configurable bands:
•Band 1 in 60 MHz—can be configured for 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 1900 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2500
MHz, or 2600 MHz
•Band 2 in 75 MHz—can be configured for 1700 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2500
MHz, or 2600 MHz
•Band 3 (only used for North America: FSN-W2-808519-1, FSN-W2-7021-1, FSN-W2-7070-1,
FSN-W2-7575-1, FSN-W4-702121-1-HP, FSN-W4-752121-1-HP, and
FSN-W5-851921-1-HP). For example, the FSN-W2-808519-1 RAU Band 3 is a 25 MHz
sub-band of the 60 MHz Band and Band 1 is an 18 MHz sub-band of the 60 MHz Band.
Band 1, Band 2, and Band 3 support all protocols.
Fusion Wideband Remote Access Units (RAUs) contain combinations of Band 1, Band 2, and Band
3 frequencies to support various world areas. These frequencies are 1800 MHz/2100 MHz for
Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, or 800 MHz/850 MHz/1900 MHz for North America. Refer to
Table 4 on page 16 for a specific list of supported RAUs.
Key System Features
The Fusion Wideband system has the following key system features.
•Multi-Band, supports two or more full-band frequencies for spectrum growth.
•Superior RF performance, particularly in the areas of IP3 and noise figure.
•High downlink composite power and low uplink noise figure enables support of a large
number of channels and larger coverage footprint per antenna.
•Software configurable Main and Expansion Hubs, allow the frequency bands to be
configured in the field.
•Either single-mode or multi-mode fiber can be used, supporting flexible cabling
alternatives (in addition to standard CATV 75 Ohm cabling). You can select the cabling type
to met the resident cabling infrastructure of the facility and unique building topologies.
•Extended system “reach.” Using single-mode fiber, fiber runs can be as long as 6 kilometers
(creating a total system “wingspan” of 12 kilometers). Alternatively, with multi-mode fiber,
fiber runs can be as long as 500 meters.

SYSTEM HARDWARE
The InterReach Fusion Wideband system consists of three modular components:
•19" rack-mountable Main Hub
–connects to up to four Expansion Hubs (except for the One Port Main Hub configuration
that supports 1 Expansion Hub)
–converts RF signals to optical IF on the downlink; optical IF-to-RF on the uplink
–microprocessor controlled (for alarms, monitoring, and control)
–auto-configurable bands
–simplex interface to RF source
–periodically polls all downstream RAUs for system status, and automatically reports any
fault or warning conditions.
•19” rack mountable Expansion Hub
–connects to up to eight Remote Access Units
–optical signal conversion to electrical on the downlink; electrical to optical on the uplink
–microprocessor controlled (for alarms, monitoring, and control)
–software configurable band (based on commands from the Main Hub)
–supplies DC power to RAUs over CATV cable.
•Remote Access Unit (RAU)
–converts IF signals to RF on the downlink; RF-to-IF on the uplink
–microprocessor controlled (for alarms, monitoring, and control)
–multi-band protocol independent, frequency specific units.
The minimum configuration of a Fusion Wideband system is one Main Hub, one Expansion Hub,
and one RAU (1-1-1). The maximum configuration of a system is one Main Hub, four Expansion
Hubs, and 32 RAUs (1-4-32). Multiple systems can be combined to provide larger configurations.
NOTE: The Fusion Wideband One Port Main Hub (PN: FSN-W1-MH-2-1P, FSN-W1-MH-3-1P,
FSN-W2-MH-3-1P, FSN-W3-MH-1P, FSN-W4-MH-1P, and FSN-W5-MH-1P) configuration is a
cost-reduced version of the Fusion Wideband Main Hub and supports only one Expansion Hub
(up to 8 RAUs).
CAUTION! The Fusion Wideband One Port Main Hub is “software locked” to 1 port 2 fiber ports. Additional
ports are disabled internally. Do not attempt to remove the front panel fiber port plate, as doing
so voids the product warranty.

SYSTEM OA&M CAPABILITIES
InterReach Fusion Wideband is microprocessor controlled and contains firmware to enable much
of the operations, administration, and maintenance (OA&M) functionality.
Complete alarming, from each unit in the system (defined as a Fusion Wideband Main Hub and all
of its associated Expansion Hubs and Remote Access Units) and the cabling infrastructure is
available. All events occurring in a system are automatically reported to the Main Hub. The Main
Hub monitors system status and communicates that status using the following methods:
•Normally closed (NC) alarm contact closures can be tied to standard NC alarm monitoring
systems or directly to a Base Station (BTS) for basic alarm monitoring.
•Connection Methods:
–The Main Hub’s front panel RJ-45 port connects directly to a PC (for local Ethernet access).
–The Main Hub’s front panel RS-232 serial port connects directly to a modem (for remote
access).
–Remote access is also available with an optional 100BASE-T LAN switch connection to the
RJ-45 port.

AdminBrowser OA&M software runs on the Fusion Wideband Main Hub microprocessor and
communicates to its downstream Expansion Hubs and associated RAUs. Using AdminBrowser,
you can perform the following from any standard web browser (such as Internet Explorer)
running on your PC/laptop system:
•configure a newly installed system
•change system parameters
•perform an end-to-end system test
•query system status.
Refer to the AdminBrowser User Manual (D-620607-0-20) for information about installing and
using the AdminBrowser software.
System Monitoring and Reporting
Each Fusion Wideband Main Hub in the system constantly monitors itself, its Expansion Hubs,
and their downstream RAUs for internal fault and warning conditions. The results of this
monitoring are stored in memory and compared against new results.
When a Main or Expansion Hub detects a change in status, it reports a fault or warning alarm.
Faults are also indicated locally by red STATUS LEDs. Both faults and warnings are reported to
the AdminBrowser software and displayed on a PC/laptop connected to the Main Hub’s RJ-45
port. Passive antennas connected to the RAUs are not monitored automatically (perform a System
Test to retrieve status information about antennas).
Using AdminBrowser, you can install a new system or new components, change system
parameters, and query system status. Figure 4 illustrates how the system reports its status to
AdminBrowser.

Using Alarm Contacts
You can connect the DB-9 female connector on the rear panel of the Fusion Wideband Main Hub
to a local BTS or to a daisy-chained series of Fusion and/or FlexWave Focus systems.
When you connect FlexWave Focus or a BTS to the Fusion Wideband, the Fusion Wideband Main
Hub outputs the alarms (alarm source), and then FlexWave Focus or the BTS receives the alarms
(alarm sense). This is described in “Alarm Source” on page 157.

SYSTEM CONNECTIVITY
The double-star architecture of the Fusion Wideband system, illustrated in Figure 5, provides
excellent system scalability and reliability. The system requires only one pair of fibers for eight
antenna points. This makes any system expansion, such as adding an extra antenna for additional
coverage, potentially as easy as pulling an extra CATV cable.

FUSION WIDEBAND MAIN HUB OVERVIEW
The Fusion Wideband Main Hub (shown in Figure 8) distributes up to three individual (Band 1, 2,
and 3) downlink RF signals from a Base Station, repeater, or FlexWave Focus system to up to four
Expansion Hubs, which in turn distribute the signals to up to 32 Remote Access Units. The Main
Hub also combines uplink signals from the associated Expansion Hubs.
Fusion Wideband is a multi-band system. One RF source (Band 1 or RF1) goes to the 60 MHz band
and the other RF source (Band 2 or RF2) goes to the 75 MHz band. Band 3 (or RF3) goes to a 25
MHz sub-band of the 60 MHz band and is functional only with the following RAUs:
800/850/1900, 700/AWS, 700/700 (Upper C) MIMO, 700/700 (Lower ABC) MIMO, 700
ABC/AWS HP/AWS HP, 700 UC/AWS HP/AWS HP, and 850/1900 HP/AWS HP RAU. The system
installs in a 19”equipment rack and is usually co-located with the RF source in a
telecommunications closet.
Figure 8. Main Hub in a Fusion Wideband System
Figure 9 on page 31 shows a detailed view of the major RF and optical functional blocks of the
Main Hub.
NOTE: The Fusion Wideband One Port Main Hub (PNs: FSN-W1-MH-2-1P, FSN-W2-MH-3-1P,
FSN-W3-MH-1P, FSN-W4-MH-1P, and FSN-W5-MH-1P) is a cost reduced version of the Fusion
Wideband Main Hub and supports only one Expansion Hub (up to 8 RAUs).
Downlink Path: The Main Hub receives up to 3 individual (Band1, 2, or 3) downlink RF signals from a base station, repeater,
or FlexWave Focus system using 50 Ohm coaxial cable. It converts the signals to IF then to optical and sends them to up to
four Expansion Hubs using fiber optic cable.
The Main Hub also sends OA&M communication to the Expansion Hubs using the fiber optic cable. The Expansion Hubs,
in turn, communicate the OA&M information to the RAUs using CATV cable.
Uplink Path: The Main Hub receives uplink optical signals from up to four Expansion Hubs using fiber optic cables. It converts
the signals to IF then to RF and sends them to the respective Band1, 2, or 3 base station, repeater, or FlexWave Focus system
using 50 Ohm coaxial cable.
The Main Hub also receives status information from the Expansion Hubs and all RAUs using the fiber optic cable.

Uplink/Downlink Optical-Fiber Ports
The uplink/downlink optical-fiber ports transmit and receive optical signals between the Main
Hub and up to four Expansion Hubs using industry-standard SMF or MMF cable. There are four
fiber ports on the front panel of the Main Hub—one port per Expansion Hub. Each optical-fiber
port has two female SC/APC connectors:
•UPLINK Connector—receives the uplink optical signals from an Expansion Hub.
•DOWNLINK Connector—transmits the downlink optical signals to an Expansion Hub.
CAUTION! To avoid damaging the Main Hub’s fiber connector ports, use only SC/APC fiber cable connectors
when using either single-mode or multi-mode fiber. Additionally, it is critical to system
performance that only SC/APC fiber connectors are used throughout the fiber network, including
fiber distribution panels.
Main Hub LED Indicators
The unit’s front panel LEDs indicate faults and commanded or fault lockouts. The LEDs do not
indicate warnings or whether the system test has been performed. Use the LEDs to provide basic
information only, or as a backup when you are not using AdminBrowser.
Upon power up, the Main Hub goes through a 20-second test to check the LED lamps. During this
time, the LEDs blink through the states shown in Table 31 on page 34, letting you visually verify
that the LED lamps and the firmware are functioning properly. Upon completion of initialization,
the LEDs stay in one of the first two states shown in Table 31 on page 34.
The Main Hub automatically sends the program bands command to all connected RAUs. A
mismatched band causes a fault message to be displayed in AdminBrowser and places the RAU in
a disabled condition.
NOTE: Refer to “Troubleshooting Using LEDs” on page 185 for troubleshooting using the LEDs.
NOTE: AdminBrowser should be used for troubleshooting the system. Only use LEDs for backup or
confirmation. However, if there are communication problems within the system, the LEDs may
provide additional information that is not available using AdminBrowser.

EXPANSION HUB OVERVIEW
The Expansion Hub acts an interface between the Main Hub and the Remote Access Unit(s) by
converting optical signals to electrical signals and vice versa, as shown in Figure 10. It also
supplies control signals and DC power to operate the RAUs, and passes status information from
the RAUs to the Main Hub.
Figure 10. Expansion Hub in a Fusion Wideband System
Figure 11 on page 43 shows a block diagram for the Expansion Hub within a Fusion system.
Downlink Path: The Expansion Hub receives downlink (Band 1, 2, and 3) optical signals from the Main Hub using fiber optic
cable. It converts the signals to electrical and sends them to up to eight Remote Access Units (RAUs) using CATV cables. The
Expansion Hub also receives configuration information from the Main Hub using the fiber optic cable and relays it to the RAUs
using CATV cable.
Uplink Path: The Expansion Hub receives uplink (Band 1, 2, and 3) IF signals from up to eight RAUs using CATV cables. It
converts the signals to optical and sends them to a Main Hub using fiber optic cable.
The Expansion Hub also receives RAU status information using CATV cable and sends it and its own status information to the
Main Hub using the fiber optic cable.

Optical Fiber Uplink/Downlink Connectors
The optical fiber uplink/downlink port transmits and receives optical signals between the
Expansion Hub and the Main Hub using industry-standard SMF or MMF cable. The fiber port has
two female SC/APC connectors:
•Optical Fiber Uplink Connector—The UPLINK connector transmits (output) uplink optical
signals to the Main Hub.
•Optical Fiber Downlink Connector—The DOWNLINK connector receives (input) downlink
optical signals from the Main Hub.
CAUTION! To avoid damaging the Expansion Hub’s fiber connector ports, use only SC/APC fiber cable
connectors. Additionally, use only SC/APC fiber connectors throughout the fiber network,
including fiber distribution panels. This is critical for ensuring system performance.
LED Indicators
The unit’s front panel LEDs indicate fault conditions and commanded or fault lockouts. The LEDs
do not indicate warnings or whether the system test has been performed. Only use the LEDs to
provide basic information or as a backup when you are not using AdminBrowser.
Upon power up, the Expansion Hub goes through a five-second test to check the LED lamps.

OVERVIEW
The Remote Access Unit (RAU) is an active transceiver that connects to an Expansion Hub using
industry-standard CATV cable, which delivers RF signals, configuration information, and
electrical power to the RAU.
RAUs pass converted IF to RF (Downlink) and converted RF to IF (Uplink) signals between an
Expansion Hub and an attached passive antenna, where the signals are transmitted to wireless
devices as shown in Figure 13. Figure 14 shows the RAU block diagram.
Figure 13. Remote Access Unit in a Fusion Wideband System
Figure 14. Remote Access Unit Block Diagram (Multiband)
Downlink Path: The RAU receives downlink IF signals from a Fusion Wideband Hub using 75 Ohm CATV cable. It converts
the signals to RF and sends them to a passive RF antenna using 50 Ohm coaxial cable. Also, the RAU receives configuration
information from the Fusion Wideband Hub using the 75 Ohm CATV cable.
Uplink Path: The RAU receives uplink RF signals from a passive RF antenna using 50 Ohm coaxial cable. It converts the
signals to IF and sends them to a Fusion Wideband Hub using 75 Ohm CATV cable. Also, the RAU sends its status information
to the Fusion Wideband Hub using CATV cable.
The RAU receives 54VDC power from the Fusion Wideband Hub port through the 75 Ohm CATV cable center pin.

DESIGN OVERVIEW
Designing a Fusion Wideband solution is a matter of determining coverage and capacity needs.
This requires the following steps:
1Determine the wireless service provider’s requirements; refer to “Downlink RSSI
Design Goal” on page 64.
The following information is typically provided by the service provider:
•Frequency (for example, 1900 MHz)
•Band (for example, “A-F” band in the PCS spectrum)
•Protocol (for example, CDMA, GSM, 1xRTT, GPRS, and so on)
•Number of sectors and peak capacity per sector (translates to the number of RF carriers
that the system will have to transmit)
•Downlink RSSI design goal (RSSI, received signal strength at the wireless handset, for
example, –85 dBm)
The design goal is always a stronger signal than the mobile phone needs. It includes
inherent factors which affect performance.
•RF source (Base Station or bidirectional amplifier or repeater), type of equipment if
possible.
2Determine the downlink Power Per Carrier from the RF source through the DAS; refer
to “Maximum Output Power Per Carrier” on page 65.
The maximum Power Per Carrier is a function of modulation type, the number of RF carriers,
signal quality issues, regulatory emissions requirements, and Fusion Wideband’s RF
performance. Power Per Carrier decreases as the number of carriers increases.
3Develop an RF link budget; refer to “Estimating RF Coverage” on page 83.
Knowing both the Power Per Carrier and RSSI design goal, you can develop an RF downlink
link budget which estimates the allowable path loss from a RAU’s antenna to the wireless
handset.
allowable path loss = Power Per Carrier + antenna gain – design goal
Satisfactory performance can be expected as long as path loss is below this level.

InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference Manual Page 63
D-620616-0-20 Rev K • TECP-77-044 Issue 9 • March 2015 © 2015 TE Connectivity
4Determine the in-building environment; refer to “Estimating RF Coverage” on page 83.
•Determine which areas of the building require coverage (entire building, public areas,
parking levels, and so on).
•Obtain floor plans to determine floor space in a building and the wall layout of the
proposed areas to be covered. Floor plans are also useful when you are selecting antenna
locations.
•If possible, determine the building’s construction materials (sheetrock, metal, concrete,
and so on).
•Determine the type of environment:
–open layout (for example, a convention center)
–dense, close walls (for example, a hospital)
–mixed use (for example, an office building with hard wall offices and cubicles).
5Determine the appropriate estimated path loss slope that corresponds to the type of
building and its layout, and estimate the coverage distance for each RAU; refer to
“Estimating RF Coverage” on page 83.
Use the Path Loss Slope (PLS), which gives a value to the RF propagation characteristics
within the building, to convert the RF link budget into an estimate of the coverage distance
per antenna. This helps establish the quantities of Fusion Wideband equipment you need. The
actual path loss slope that corresponds to the specific RF environment inside the building can
also be determined empirically by performing an RF site-survey of the building. This involves
transmitting a calibrated tone for a fixed antenna and making measurements with a mobile
antenna throughout the area surrounding the transmitter.
6Determine the items required to connect to the Base Station; refer to “Connecting a
Main Hub to a Base Station” on page 101.
Once you know the quantities of Fusion Wideband equipment to be used, you can determine
the accessories (combiners/dividers, surge suppressors, repeaters, attenuators, circulators,
and so on.) required to connect the system to the Base Station.
The individual elements that must be considered in designing a Fusion Wideband solution are
explained in the following sections.
NOTE: Access the TE Customer Portal for on-line dimensioning and design tools; see “Accessing the TE
Customer Portal” on page 230.

DOWNLINK RSSI DESIGN GOAL
Wireless service providers typically provide a minimum downlink signal level and an associated
confidence factor when specifying coverage requirements. These two figures of merit are a
function of wireless handset sensitivity and margins for fading and body loss. Wireless handset
sensitivity is the weakest signal that the handset can process reliably and is a combination of the
thermal noise in the channel, noise figure of the handset receiver front end and minimum
required SNR. Fade margins for multipath fading (fast or small-scale) and log-normal shadow
fading (slow or large-scale) are determined by the desired confidence factor, and other factors.
Downlink Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) design goal calculations for the GSM protocol
are shown below for a 95% area coverage confidence factor.
Downlink design goals on the order of –85 dBm are typical for protocols such as GSM. Wireless
service providers may choose a higher level to ensure that in-building signal dominates any
macro signal that may be leaking into the building.

MAXIMUM OUTPUT POWER PER CARRIER
The following tables show the recommended maximum Power Per Carrier out of the RAU 50 Ohm
Type-N connector for different frequencies, protocols, and numbers of carriers. These maximum
levels are dictated by RF signal quality and regulatory emissions issues. In general, as the number
of RF carrier increases, the maximum Power Per Carrier decreases. If these levels are exceeded,
signal quality will be degraded and/or regulator requirements will be violated. The maximum
input power to the Hub is determined by subtracting the system gain from the maximum output
power of the RAU. System gain is software selectable from 0 dB to 15 dB in 1 dB steps.
Additionally, both the uplink and downlink gain of each RAU can be attenuated 0 or 10 dB.
When connecting a Hub to a Base Station or repeater, attenuation on the downlink is typically
required to avoid exceeding Fusion Wideband’s maximum output power recommendations.
CAUTION! Exceeding the maximum input power may cause permanent damage to the Hub. Do not exceed
the maximum composite input power of 1W (+30 dBm) to the Hub at any time.
NOTE: These specifications are for downlink power at the RAU output (excluding antenna).

Designing for Capacity Growth
Fusion Wideband systems are deployed to enhance in-building coverage and/or to off-load
capacity from a macro cell site. In many instances, subscriber usage increases with time and the
wireless provider responds by increasing the load on the installed Fusion Wideband system. For
example, the initial deployment might only require two RF carriers, but four RF carriers may be
needed in the future based on capacity growth forecasts. There are two options for dealing with
capacity growth needs:
1Design the initial coverage with a maximum Power Per Carrier for four RF carriers. This will
likely result in additional RAUs.
2Design the initial coverage for two RF carriers, but reserve RAU ports on the Hub for future
use. These ports can be used to fill potential coverage holes once the Power Per Carrier is
lowered to accommodate the two additional carriers.

SYSTEM GAIN
The system gain of the Fusion Wideband defaults to 0 dB or can be set up to 15 dB in 1 dB
increments. In addition, uplink and downlink gains of each RAU can be independently attenuated
by 0 or 10 dB using AdminBrowser.
The recommended maximum lengths of CATV cable are as follows:
•For RG-59 cable 130 meters for CommScope PN 2065V
•For RG-6 cable 140 meters for CommScope PN 2279V
•For RG-11 cable 235 meters for CommScope PN 2293K.
If the maximum distance is not required, then copper-clad over steel center-conductor cable may
be use to reduce cable costs.
If the CATV cable is longer than the recommended distance per cable type, the gain of the system
will decrease, as shown in Table 69.

non-functional. If the distance of a cable run is at its maximum and is of concern, use solid copper
cable to ensure successful operation.

ESTIMATING RF COVERAGE
The maximum output Power Per Carrier (based on the number and type of RF carriers being
transmitted) and the minimum acceptable received power at the wireless device (that is, the RSSI
design goal) essentially establish the RF downlink budget and, consequently, the maximum
Allowable Path Loss (APL) between the RAU’s antenna and the wireless device. Since in-building
systems, such as the Fusion Wideband, are generally downlink-limited, this approach is
applicable in the majority of deployments.
Figure 15. Determining APL between the Antenna and the Wireless Device
Equation 1
Equation 1 is as follows:
APL = (P – Lcoax + G) – RSSI
where:
•APL = the maximum allowable path loss in dB
•P = the Power Per Carrier transmitted by the RAU in dBm
•Lcoax = the coaxial cable loss between the RAU and passive antenna in dB
•G = the gain of the passive antenna in dBi
Coaxial cable is used to connect the RAU to an antenna. Table 70 lists coaxial cable loss for various
cable lengths.
You can calculate the distance (d), corresponding to the maximum allowable path loss using
equations introduced in the following sections.
Table 70. Coaxial Cable Losses (Lcoax)

Equation 2—Path Loss Equation
In-building path loss obeys the distance power law in Equation 2:
PL = 20log10(4πd0f/c) + 10nlog10(d/d0) + Xs
where:
•PL is the path loss at a distance, d, from the antenna
•d = the distance expressed in meters
•d0 = free-space path loss distance in meters
•f = the operating frequency in Hertz.
•c = the speed of light in a vacuum (3.0 × 108 m/sec).
•n = the path loss exponent and depends on the building “clutter” and frequency of operation
•Xs = a normal random variable that depends on partition material and geometries inside the
building and is accounted for by the log-normal fade margin used in the downlink RSSI design
goal calculation.
As a reference, Table 71 provides estimates of signal loss for some RF barriers1.

Equation 3—RAU Coverage Distance
Use “Equation 1” on page 83 and “Equation 2—Path Loss Equation” on page 84 to estimate the
distance from the antenna to where the RF signal decreases to the minimum acceptable level at
the wireless device.
Equation 2 can be simplified to Equation 3, with d0 set to one meter and Path Loss Slope (PLS)
defined as 10n:
PL(d) = 20log10(4πf/c) + PLS·log10(d)
Table 72 gives the value of the first term of Equation 3 (that is, (20log10(4πf/c)) for various
frequency bands.
Table 73 shows estimated PLS for various environments that have different “clutter” (that is,
objects that attenuate the RF signals, such as walls, partitions, stairwells, equipment racks, and so
forth).

Equation 4—Maximum Antenna Coverage
By setting the path loss to the maximum allowable level (PL = APL), Equation 3 can be used to
estimate the maximum coverage distance of an antenna connected to a RAU, for a given frequency
and type of in-building environment.
d = 10^((APL - 20log10(4πf/c))/PLS)
For reference, Table 74 through Table 80 on page 88 show the distance covered by an antenna for
various in-building environments, in which the following assumptions were made:
•6 dBm output per carrier at the RAU output
•3 dBi antenna gain
•RSSI design goal is equal to –85 dBm, which is typical for narrowband protocols, but not for
spread-spectrum protocols.

Example Design Estimate for an 1900 MHz CDMA Application
1Design goals:
•PCS
(1920 MHz = average of the lowest uplink and the highest downlink frequency in 1900
MHz PCS band)
•CDMA provider
•eight CDMA carriers in the system
•–85 dBm design goal (to 95% of the building); the minimum received power at the
wireless device
•Base station with simplex RF connections.
2Power Per Carrier: The tables in “Maximum Output Power Per Carrier” on page 65 provide
maximum Power Per Carrier information. Table 58 on page 75 indicates that Fusion
Wideband can support eight carriers with a recommended maximum Power Per Carrier of 9.0
dBm. The input power should be set to the desired output power minus the system gain.
3Building information:
•16 floor building with 9,290 sq. meters (100,000 sq. ft.) per floor; total 148,640 sq. meters
(1,600,000 sq. ft.)
•walls are sheetrock construction, suspended ceiling tiles
•antennas used are omni-directional, ceiling mounted
•standard office environment, 80% hard wall offices and 20% cubicles.
4Link Budget: In this example, a design goal of –85 dBm is used. Suppose 3 dBi
omni-directional antennas are used in the design. Then, the maximum RF propagation loss
should be no more than 97.0 dB (9.0 dBm + 3 dBi + 85 dBm) over 95% of the area being
covered. It is important to note that a design goal such as –85 dBm is usually derived taking into
account multipath fading and log-normal shadowing characteristics. Thus, this design goal will
only be met “on average” over 95% of the area being covered. At any given point, a fade may
bring the signal level underneath the design goal.
Note that this method of calculating a link budget is only for the downlink path. For
information to calculate link budgets for both the downlink and uplink paths, refer to “Link
Budget Analysis” on page 90.

5Path Loss Slope: For a rough estimate, Table 73 on page 85 shows that a building with 80%
hard wall offices and 20% cubicles, at 1920 MHz, has an approximate path loss slope (PLS) of
38.1. Given the RF link budget of 97.0 dB, the distance of coverage from each RAU will be 30.2
meters (99 ft). This corresponds to a coverage area of 2,868 sq. meters (30,854 sq. ft.) per
RAU (refer to “Equation 2—Path Loss Equation” on page 84 for details on path loss
estimation). For this case we assumed a circular radiation pattern, though the actual area
covered depends upon the pattern of the antenna and the obstructions in the facility.
6Equipment Required: Since you know the building size, you can now estimate the Fusion
Wideband equipment quantities needed. Before you test any RF levels in the building, you can
estimate that four antennas per level will be needed. This assumes no propagation between
floors. If there is propagation, you may not need antennas on every floor.
•4 antennas per floor × 16 floors = 64 RAUs
•64 RAUs ÷ 8 = 8 Expansion Hubs, as there is a maximum of 8 RAUs per Expansion Hub
•8 Expansion Hubs ÷ 4 = 2 Main Hubs, as there is a maximum of 4 Expansion Hubs per Main
Hub
Check that the fiber and CATV cable distances are as recommended. If the distances differ, use
the tables in “System Gain” on page 82 to determine system gains or losses. The path loss may
need to be recalculated to assure adequate signal levels in the required coverage distance.
The above estimates assume that all cable length requirements are met. If Expansion Hubs
cannot be placed so that the RAUs are within the distance requirement, additional Expansion
Hubs may need to be placed closer to the required RAUs locations.
An RF Site Survey and Building Evaluation is required to accurately establish the Fusion
Wideband equipment quantities required for the building. The site survey measures the RF
losses within the building to determine the actual PLS, used in the final path loss formula to
determine the actual requirements of the Fusion Wideband system.

LINK BUDGET ANALYSIS
A link budget is a methodical way to account for the gains and losses in an RF system so that the
quality of coverage can be predicted. The end result can often be stated as a “design goal” in which
the coverage is determined by the maximum distance from each RAU before the signal strength
falls beneath that goal.
One key feature of the link budget is the maximum Power Per Carrier explained in “Maximum
Output Power Per Carrier” on page 65.
CAUTION! While the maximum Power Per Carrier is important as far as emissions and signal quality
requirements are concerned, it is critical that the maximum signal into the Main Hub never
exceed 1W (+30 dBm). Composite power levels above this limit could cause permanent damage
to the Main Hub.
NOTE: To obtain the on-line Link Budget Tool, go the TE Customer Portal; see “Accessing the TE
Customer Portal” on page 230.
Elements of a Link Budget for Narrowband Standards
The link budget represents a typical calculation that might be used to determine how much path
loss can be afforded in a Fusion Wideband design. This link budget analyzes both the downlink
and uplink paths. For most configurations, the downlink requires lower path loss and is therefore
the limiting factor in the system design. It is for this reason that a predetermined “design goal” for
the downlink is sufficient to predict coverage distance.
The link budget is organized in a simple manner: the transmitted power is calculated, the airlink
losses due to fading and body loss are summed, and the receiver sensitivity (minimum level a
signal can be received for acceptable call quality) is calculated. The maximum allowable path loss
(in dB) is the difference between the transmitted power, less the airlink losses, and the receiver
sensitivity. From the path loss, the maximum coverage distance can be estimated using the path
loss formula presented in “Equation 2—Path Loss Equation” on page 84.
Table 81 on page 91 provides link budget considerations for narrowband systems.

Table 81. Link Budget Considerations for Narrowband Systems
Consideration Description
BTS Transmit Power The Power Per Carrier transmitted from the Base Station output.
Attenuation between
BTS and Fusion
Wideband
This includes all losses: cable, attenuator, splitter/combiner, and so forth.
On the downlink, attenuation must be chosen so that the maximum Power Per Carrier going into the Main
Hub does not exceed the levels given in “Maximum Output Power Per Carrier” on page 65.
On the uplink, attenuation is chosen to keep the maximum uplink signal and noise level low enough to
prevent Base Station alarms but small enough not to cause degradation in the system sensitivity.
If the Fusion Wideband noise figure minus the attenuation is at least 10 dB higher than the BTS noise
figure, the system noise figure is approximately that of Fusion Wideband alone. Refer to “Connecting a
Main Hub to a Base Station” on page 101 for ways to independently set the uplink and downlink
attenuations between the Base Station and Fusion Wideband.
Antenna Gain The radiated output power includes antenna gain. For example, if you use a 3 dBi antenna at the RAU that
is transmitting 0 dBm per carrier, the effective radiated power (relative to an isotropic radiator) is 3 dBm
per carrier.
BTS Noise Figure This is the effective noise floor of the Base Station input (usually Base Station sensitivity is this effective
noise floor plus a certain C/I ratio).
Fusion Wideband Noise
Figure
This is Fusion Wideband’s uplink noise figure, which varies depending on the number of Expansion Hubs
and RAUs, and the frequency band. Fusion Wideband’s uplink noise figure is specified for a 1-1-8
configuration. Thus, the noise figure for a Fusion Wideband system (or multiple systems whose uplink
ports are power combined) is NF(1-1-8) + 10*log(# of Expansion Hubs). This represents an upper-bound
because the noise figure is lower if any of the Expansion Hub’s RAU ports are not used.
Thermal Noise This is the noise level in the signal bandwidth (BW).
Thermal noise power = –174 dBm/Hz + 10Log(BW).
Required C/I ratio For each wireless standard, a certain C/I (carrier to interference) ratio is needed to obtain acceptable
demodulation performance. For narrowband systems, (TDMA, GSM, EDGE, iDEN, AMPS) this level
varies from about 9 dB to 20 dB.
Mobile Transmit Power The maximum power the mobile can transmit (power transmitted at highest power level setting).
Multipath Fade
Margin
This margin allows for a certain level of fading due to multipath interference. On the inside of buildings
there is often one or more fairly strong signals and many weaker signals arriving from reflections and
diffraction. Signals arriving from multiple paths add constructively or destructively. This margin
accounts for the possibility of destructive multipath interference. In RF site surveys the effects of
multipath fading are typically not accounted for because such fading is averaged out over power level
samples taken over many locations.
Log-Normal Fade
Margin
This margin adds an allowance for RF shadowing due to objects obstructing the direct path between the
mobile equipment and the RAU. In RF site surveys, the effects of shadowing are partially accounted for
since it is characterized by relatively slow changes in power level.
Body Loss This accounts for RF attenuation caused by the user’s head and body.
Minimum Received
Signal Level
This is also referred to as the “design goal”. The link budget says that you can achieve adequate coverage
if the signal level is, on average, above this level over 95% of the area covered, for example.

Elements of a Link Budget for CDMA Standards
A CDMA link budget is slightly more complicated because you must consider the spread spectrum
nature of CDMA. Unlike narrowband standards such as TDMA and GSM, CDMA signals are spread
over a relatively wide frequency band. Upon reception, the CDMA signal despread. In the
despreading process the power in the received signal becomes concentrated into a narrow band,
whereas the noise level remains unchanged. Hence, the signal-to-noise ratio of the despread
signal is higher than that of the CDMA signal before despreading. This increase is called
processing gain. For IS-95 and J-STD-008, the processing gain is 21 dB or 19 dB depending on the
user data rate (9.6 Kbps for rate set 1 and 14.4 Kbps for rate set 2, respectively). Because of the
processing gain, a CDMA signal (comprising one Walsh code channel within the composite CDMA
signal) can be received at a lower level than that required for narrowband signals. A reasonable
level is –95 dBm, which results in about –85 dBm composite as shown below.
An important issue to keep in mind is that the downlink CDMA signal is composed of many
orthogonal channels: pilot, paging, sync, and traffic. The composite power level is the sum of the
powers from the individual channels, of which Table 84 shows an example.
Table 84 assumes that there are 15 active traffic channels operating with 50% voice activity (so
that the total power adds up to 100%). Notice that the pilot and sync channels together contribute
about 25% of the power. When measuring the power in a CDMA signal you must be aware that if
only the pilot and sync channels are active, the power level will be about 6 to 7 dB lower than the
maximum power level you can expect when all voice channels are active. The implication is that
if only the pilot and sync channels are active, and the maximum Power Per Carrier table says, for
example, that you should not exceed 10 dBm for a CDMA signal, then you should set the
attenuation between the Base Station and the Main Hub so that the Main Hub receives 3 dBm
(assuming 0 dB system gain).
An additional consideration for CDMA systems is that the uplink and downlink paths should be
gain and noise balanced. This is required for proper operation of soft-handoff to the outdoor
network as well as preventing excess interference that is caused by mobiles on the indoor system
transmitting at power levels that are not coordinated with the outdoor mobiles. This balance is
achieved if the power level transmitted by the mobiles under close-loop power control is similar
to the power level transmitted under open-loop power control.
The open-loop power control equations are as follows:
where PTX is the mobile’s transmitted power and PRX is the power received by the mobile.
Table 84. Distribution of Power within a CDMA Signal
Channel Walsh Code Number Relative Power Level
Pilot 0 20% –7.0 dB
Sync 32 5% –13.3 dB
Primary Paging 1 19% –7.3 dB
Traffic 8–31, 33–63 9% (per traffic channel) –10.3 dB
•for Cellular, IS-95: PTX + PRX = –73 dBm
•for PCS, J-STD-008: PTX + PRX = –76 dBm

The power level transmitted under closed-loop power control is adjusted by the Base Station to
achieve a certain Eb/N0 (explained in Table 85). The difference between these power levels, ΔP, can
be estimated by comparing the power radiated from the RAU, Pdownink, to the minimum received
signal, Puplink, at the RAU:
It’s a good idea to keep –12 dB < ΔP < 12 dB.
Table 85 provides link budget considerations for CDMA systems.
for Cellular:ΔP = Pdownink + Puplink + 73 dBm
for PCS:ΔP = Pdownink + Puplink + 76 dBm
Table 85. Additional Link Budget Considerations for CDMA
Consideration Description
Multipath Fade
Margin
The multipath fade margin can be reduced (by at least 3 dB) by using different lengths of optical fiber (this is
called “delay diversity”). The delay over fiber is approximately 5μS/km. If the difference in fiber lengths to
Expansion Hubs with overlapping coverage areas produces at least 1 chip (0.8μS) delay of one path relative
to the other, then the multipaths’ signals can be resolved and processed independently by the Base Station’s
rake receiver. A CDMA signal traveling through 163 meters of MMF cable is delayed by approximately one
chip.
Power Per
Carrier, downlink
This depends on how many channels are active. For example, the signal is about 7 dB lower if only the pilot,
sync, and paging channels are active compared to a fully-loaded CDMA signal. Furthermore, in the CDMA
forward link, voice channels are turned off when the user is not speaking. On average this is assumed to be
about 50% of the time. So, in the spreadsheet, both the power per Walsh code channel (representing how
much signal a mobile will receive on the Walsh code that it is despreading) and the total power are used.
The channel power is needed to determine the maximum path loss, and the total power is needed to
determine how hard the Fusion Wideband system is being driven.
The total power for a fully-loaded CDMA signal is given by (approximately):
total power = voice channel power + 13 dB + 10log10 (50%)
= voice channel power + 10 dB
Information Rate This is simply
10log10(9.6 Kbps) = 40 dB for rate set 1
10log10(14.4 Kbps) = 42 dB for rate set 2
Process Gain The process of despreading the desired signal boosts that signal relative to the noise and interference. This
gain needs to be included in the link budget. In the following formulas, PG = process gain:
PG = 10log10(1.25 MHz / 9.6 Kbps) = 21 dB rate set 1
PG = 10log10(1.25 MHz / 14.4 Kbps) = 19 dB rate set 2
Note that the process gain can also be expressed as 10log10 (CDMA bandwidth) minus the information rate.
Eb/No This is the energy-per-bit divided by the received noise and interference. It’s the CDMA equivalent of
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). This figure depends on the mobile’s receiver and the multipath environment.
For example, the multipath delays inside a building are usually too small for a rake receiver in the mobile (or
Base Station) to resolve and coherently combine multipath components. However, if artificial delay can be
introduced by, for instance, using different lengths of cable, then the required Eb/No is lower and the multipath
fade margin in the link budget can be reduced in some cases.
If the receiver noise figure is NF (dB), then the receive sensitivity (dBm) is given by:
Psensitivity = NF + Eb/No + thermal noise in a 1.25 MHz band – PG
= NF + Eb/No – 113 (dBm/1.25 MHz) – PG

Other CDMA Issues
Other CDMA issues are as follows:
•Never combine multiple sectors (more than one CDMA signal at the same frequency) into a
Fusion Wideband system. The combined CDMA signals will interfere with each other.
•Try to minimize overlap between in-building coverage areas that utilize different sectors, as
well as in-building coverage and outdoor coverage areas. This is important because any area
in which more than one dominant pilot signal (at the same frequency) is measured by the
mobile will result in soft-handoff. Soft-handoff decreases the overall network capacity by
allocating multiple channel resources to a single mobile phone.
CDMA Link Budget Analysis for a Microcell Application
Noise Rise On the uplink, the noise floor is determined not only by the Fusion Wideband system, but also by the number
of mobiles that are transmitting. This is because when the Base Station attempts to despread a particular
mobile’s signal, all other mobile signals appear to be noise. Because the noise floor rises as more mobiles
try to communicate with a Base Station, the more mobiles there are, the more power they have to transmit.
Hence, the noise floor rises rapidly:
noise rise = 10log10(1 / (1 – loading))
where loading is the number of users as a percentage of the theoretical maximum number of users.
Typically, a Base Station is set to limit the loading to 75%. This noise ratio must be included in the link budget
as a worst-case condition for uplink sensitivity. If there are less users than 75% of the maximum, then the
uplink coverage will be better than predicted.
Hand-off Gain CDMA supports soft hand-off, a process by which the mobile communicates simultaneously with more than
one Base Station or more than one sector of a Base Station. Soft hand-off provides improved receive
sensitivity because there are two or more receivers or transmitters involved. A line for hand-off gain is
included in the CDMA link budgets worksheet although the gain is set to 0 dB because the in-building system
will probably be designed to limit soft-handoff.

Considerations for Re-Radiation (Over-the-Air) Systems
Fusion Wideband can be used to extend the coverage of the outdoor network by connecting to a
roof-top donor antenna pointed toward an outdoor Base Station. Additional considerations for
such an application of Fusion Wideband are:
•sizing the gain and output power requirements for a bi-directional amplifier (repeater)
•ensuring that noise radiated on the uplink from the in-building system does not cause the
outdoor Base Station to become desensitized to wireless handsets in the outdoor network
•filtering out signals that lie in adjacent frequency bands. For instance, if you are providing
coverage for Cellular B-band operation it may be necessary to filter out the A, A’ and A” bands
which may contain strong signals from other outdoor Base Stations.
Further information on these issues can be found in TE application notes for re-radiation
applications.

OPTICAL POWER BUDGET
Fusion Wideband uses SC/APC connectors. The connector losses associated with mating to these
connectors is accounted for in the design and should not be included as elements of the optical
power budget. The reason is that when the optical power budget is defined, measurements are
taken with these connectors in place.
The Fusion Wideband optical power budget for both multi-mode and single-mode fiber
cable is 3.0 dB (optical).
The maximum loss through the fiber can not exceed 3 dB (optical). The maximum lengths of the
fiber cable should not exceed 500m (1,640 ft) for multi-mode and 6 km (19,685 ft) for
single-mode. Both the optical budget and the maximum cable length must be taken into
consideration when designing the system.
NOTE: It is critical to system performance that only SC/APC fiber connectors be used throughout the
fiber network, including fiber distribution panels.

CONNECTING A MAIN HUB TO A BASE STATION
The Fusion Wideband system supports up to three RF sources: one for Band 1, one for Band 2 and
one for Band 3. This section explains how each band can be connected to its associated Base
Station.
Each Fusion Main Hub band has separate system gain parameters. For example, Band 1 can be set
for +5 dB of downlink system gain while Band 2 can have +15 dB of downlink system gain. Thus,
each band can be configured as a separate system to allow for full integration to its associated
Base Station.
When connecting each of the Fusion Wideband Main Hub bands to its Base Station, the following
equipment may be required:
•circulators
•filter diplexers
•directional couplers
•combiner/splitters
•attenuators
•coax cables
•connectors.
In addition, use the following considerations to achieve optimal performance:
•The downlink power from the Base Stations must be attenuated enough so that the power
radiated by the RAU does not exceed the maximum Power Per Carrier listed in “Maximum
Output Power Per Carrier” on page 65.
•The uplink attenuation should be small enough that the sensitivity of the overall system is
limited by Fusion Wideband, not by the attenuator. However, some Base Stations trigger
alarms if the noise or signal levels are too high. In this case the attenuation must be large
enough to prevent this from happening.
CAUTION! The UPLINK and DOWNLINK ports cannot handle a DC power feed from a BTS. If DC power is
present, a DC block must be used or the Fusion Wideband Main Hub may be damaged.
If, in an area covered by Fusion Wideband, a mobile phone indicates good signal strength but
consistently has difficulty completing calls, it is possible that the attenuation between Fusion
Wideband and the Base Station needs to be adjusted. In other words, it is possible that if the
uplink is over-attenuated, the downlink power will provide good coverage, but the uplink
coverage distance will be small.
When there is an excessive amount of loss between the Fusion Wideband Main Hub uplink and its
associated band’s Base Station, the uplink system gain can be increased to as much as 15 dB to
prevent a reduction in the overall system sensitivity.

© 2015 TE Connectivity D-620616-0-20 Rev K • TECP-77-044 Issue 9 • March 2015
Uplink Attenuation
The attenuation between the Main Hub’s uplink port and the associated band’s Base Station
reduces both the noise level and the desired signals out of Fusion Wideband. Setting the
attenuation on the uplink is a trade-off between keeping the noise and maximum signal levels
transmitted from Fusion Wideband to the Base Station receiver low while not reducing the SNR
(Signal-to-Noise Ratio) of the path from the RAU inputs to the Base Station inputs. This SNR
cannot be better than the SNR of Fusion Wideband by itself, although it can be significantly worse.
A good rule of thumb is to set the uplink attenuation so that the noise level out of Fusion
Wideband is within 10 dB of the Base Station’s sensitivity.
RAU Attenuation and ALC
The RAU attenuation and ALC are set using the AdminBrowser Edit Unit Properties screen.
Embedded within the uplink RF front-end of each Fusion Wideband RAU band is an ALC circuit.
This ALC circuit protects the Fusion Wideband system from overload and excessive
intermodulation products due to high-powered mobiles or other signal sources that are within
the supported frequency band and are in close proximity to the RAU.
Each individual Band (1or 2) of a Fusion Wideband RAU has an uplink ALC circuit that operates
as a feedback loop. A power detector measures the level of each band’s uplink RF input and if that
level exceeds –30 dBm, an RF attenuator is activated. The level of attenuation is equal to the
amount that the input exceeds –30 dBm. The following sequence describes the operation of the
ALC circuit, as illustrated in Figure 16 on page 103.
1The RF signal level into either Band of the RAU rises above the activation threshold (–30
dBm), causing that ALC loop to enter into the attack phase.
2During the attack phase, the ALC loop increases the attenuation (0 to 30 dB) until the detector
reading is reduced to the activation threshold. The duration of this attack phase is called the
attack time.
3After the attack time, the ALC loop enters the hold phase and maintains a fixed attenuation so
long as the high-level RF signal is present.
4The RF signal level drops below the release threshold (–45 dBm) and the ALC loop enters the
release phase.
5During the release phase, the ALC loop holds the attenuation for a fixed period then quickly
releases the attenuation.
An important feature of the ALC loop is that in Step 3, the attenuation is maintained at a fixed level
until the signal drops by a significant amount. This prevents the ALC loop from tracking variations
in the RF signal itself and distorting the waveform modulation.

Figure 16. ALC Operation
Using the RAU 10 dB Attenuation Setting
Each RAU band can, independently of the other RAUs in a system, have its uplink or downlink gain
attenuated by 0 or 10 dB for each RAU band (1, 2 or 3). This is accomplished by selecting the
appropriate UPLINK and/or DOWNLINK attenuation for each RAU band in the Edit Unit Properties
screen of AdminBrowser for the selected RAU.
•Downlink Attenuation: The downlink attenuator provides a mechanism to reduce the signal
strength from a RAU band. For instance, this could be for a RAU band located near a window
in a tall building that is causing excessive leakage to the macro-network. In such a case it is
important to attenuate the downlink only. The uplink should not be attenuated. If the uplink
is attenuated, the uplink sensitivity is reduced and mobile phones in the area of that RAU band
will have to transmit at a higher power. This would increase interference to the outdoor
network from such mobiles.
•Uplink Attenuation: The uplink attenuator attenuates environmental noise picked up by a
RAU band located in an area where heavy electrical machinery is operating. In such
environments the electrical noise can be quite high and it is useful to reduce the amount of
such noise that gets propagated through the distributed antenna system. Attenuating the
uplink of a RAU band located in areas of high electrical noise helps preserve the sensitivity of
the rest of the system.

The effect of activating the uplink or downlink attenuators is to reduce the coverage area of the
adjusted RAU band. The coverage radius will be reduced by roughly a factor of 2. More
specifically, if d is the coverage distance without attenuation and d’ is the coverage radius with
the attenuation, then
where PLS is Path Loss Slope (dBm).
Using the Uplink ALC Setting
Uplink Automatic Level Control (UL ALC) circuitry for each band within the RAU provides ALC on
high-power signals in the uplink path. This functionality is required to prevent RF signal
compression caused by a single or multiple wireless devices in very close proximity to the RAU
band. Compression causes signal degradation and, ultimately, dropped calls and data errors, and
should be prevented. Two settings are available to optimize UL ALC performance:
•Multiple Operators: Use when more than one operator and/or protocol is present in the
Fusion Wideband system’s band frequency or adjacent frequency bands. This setting is most
commonly used.
•Single Operator and Protocol: Use when only one operator and protocol is on-the-air within
the Fusion Wideband system’s configured and adjacent frequency bands. This setting is
seldom used.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Before and during installation, keep in mind these sources of potential problems:
•faulty cabling/connector
•dirty connectors and ports
•malfunction of one or more Fusion Wideband components
•antenna, Base Station, or repeater problem
•external RF interface
•tripped circuit breaker
•equipment is not grounded
•using a crossover Ethernet cable that does not support full hardware handshaking when
using AdminBrowser.
NOTE: Faulty cabling is the cause of a vast majority of problems. All CATV cable should be tested to
TIA-570-B specifications.
Component Location Requirements
CAUTION! Fusion Wideband components are intended to be installed in indoor locations only. If outdoor
installation is desired, such as in a parking garage, the Fusion Wideband components must be
installed in the appropriate environmental enclosures.
Cable and Connector Requirements
Fusion Wideband equipment operates over the following:
•CATV 75 Ohm cable with F connectors
•Single-mode fiber (SMF) or multi-mode (MMF) cable with SC/APC fiber connectors
throughout the fiber network, including fiber distribution panels
These cables are widely-used, industry standards for the cable TV industry. The regulations and
guidelines for Fusion Wideband cable installation are identical to those specified by the TIA/EIA
568-B standard and the TIA/EIA/570-A standards.
TE recommends solid copper center conductor, plenum-rated CATV cable and connectors for
conformity to building codes, standards, and to ensure stated performance of maximum distance
and RF specifications.
CommScope 2065V cable or equivalent is required for RG-59.
CommScope 2279V cable or equivalent is required for RG-6.
CommScope 2293K cable may also be used for RG-11.
NOTE: Refer to “Appendix A: Cables and Connectors” on page 191 for more information related to 75
Ohm CATV.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when installing TE equipment:
1Provide sufficient airflow and cooling to the equipment to prevent heat build-up from
exceeding the maximum ambient air temperature specification. Do not compromise the
amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment.
2If you are removing the system, turn it off and remove the power cord first. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside the components.
3The internal power supplies have internal fuses that are not user replaceable. Consider the
worst-case power consumption shown on the product labels when provisioning the
equipment’s AC power source and distribution.
4Verify that the Hub is grounded properly using the AC power cord third wire ground.
CAUTION! Be careful with the mechanical loading of the rack mounted hub. Mount the equipment in the
rack in such a way that a hazardous condition, due to uneven mechanical loading, does not
result.
General Safety Precautions
The following precautions apply to TE products:
•The units have no user-serviceable parts. Faulty or failed units are fully replaceable through
TE, see “Appendix D: Contacting TE Connectivity” on page 229.
•When you connect the fiber optic cable, clean all optical fiber SC/APC connectors according to
the cable manufacturer’s instructions.
•When you connect a radiating antenna to a RAU, firmly hand-tighten the N connector.
DO NOT over-tighten the connector.
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture. The
components are intended for indoor use only. Do not install the RAU outdoors. Do not connect
a RAU to an antenna that is located outdoors where it could be subject to lightning strikes, power
crosses, or wind.
•The Expansion Hub and RAU units are designed for intra-building cabling only. Outdoor
routing of any cabling to these units shall not exceed 140 feet.
CAUTION! Outdoor cables farther than 140 feet must be installed with proper lightning protection.

Fiber Port Safety Precautions
The following are suggested safety precautions for working with fiber ports. For information
about system compliance with safety standards, refer to “Appendix B: Compliance” on page 203.
CAUTION! Observe the following warning about viewing fiber ends in ports. Do not stare directly into a fiber
port. Do not stare with unprotected eyes at the connector ends of the fibers or the ports of the
hubs. Invisible infrared radiation is present at the front panel of the Main Hub and the Expansion
Hub. Do not remove the fiber port dust caps unless the port is going to be used.
•Test fiber cables: When you test fiber optic cables, connect the optical power source last and
disconnect it first. Use Class 1 test equipment.
•Fiber ends: Cover any unconnected fiber ends with an approved cap. Do not use tape.
•Broken fiber cables: Do not stare with unprotected eyes at any broken ends of the fibers.
Laser light emitted from fiber sources can cause eye injury. Avoid contact with broken fibers;
they are sharp and can pierce the skin. Report any broken fiber cables and have them
replaced.
•Cleaning: Be sure the connectors are clean and free of dust or oils. Use only approved
methods for cleaning optical fiber connectors.
•Modifications: Do not make any unauthorized modifications to this fiber optic system or
associated equipment.

Connecting the Fiber Cables to the Main Hub
CAUTION! Observe all Fiber Port Safety Precautions listed in “Safety Precautions” on page 109.
Prepare the Fiber Cables
Do the following before connecting the fiber cables:
1Confirm that their optical loss does not exceed the 3 dB optical budget.
2If using fiber distribution panels, confirm that the total optical loss of fiber cable, from the
Main Hub through distribution panels and patch cords to the Expansion Hub, does not exceed
the optical budget.
3Make sure the fiber cable’s connectors are SC/APC (angle-polished). Using any other
connector type will result in degraded system performance and may damage the
equipment. (You can use an SC/APC pigtail if the fiber cable’s connectors are not SC/APC.
Refer to “Splicing Fiber Optic Cable” on page 146. Or, you can change the fiber’s connector to
SC/APC.)
Clean the Fiber Ports
You can clean the Hub’s fiber ports using canned compressed air or isopropyl alcohol and foam
tipped swabs.
•If using compressed air, the air must be free of dust, water, and oil, and hold the can level
during use.
•If using isopropyl alcohol and foam tipped swabs, use only 98% pure or more alcohol.
Using Compressed Air
1Remove the port’s dust cap.
2Spray the compressed air away from the unit for a few seconds to clean out the nozzle and
then blow dust particles out of each fiber port.
Using Isopropyl Alcohol
1Remove the connector’s dust cap.
2Dip a 2.5mm lint-free, foam-tipped swab in isopropyl alcohol and slowly insert the tip into the
connector.
3Gently twist the swab to clean the port.
4Insert a dry swab into the port to dry it.
5Additionally, you can use compressed air after the alcohol has completely evaporated.

D-620616-0-20 Rev K • TECP-77-044 Issue 9 • March 2015 © 2015 TE Connectivity
Cleaning the Fiber Ends
Be sure that the fiber cable’s SC/APC connectors are clean and free of dust and oils. You need
lint-free cloths, isopropyl alcohol, and compressed air.
1Moisten a lint-free cloth with isopropyl alcohol.
2Gently wipe the fiber end with the moistened cloth.
3Using a dry lint-free cloth, gently wipe the fiber end.
4Spray the compressed air away from the connector for a few seconds to clean out the nozzle
and then use it to completely dry the connector.
Testing the Fiber Cables
Perform cable testing and record the results. Test results are required for the final As-Built
Document.
Connecting the Fiber Cables
The fiber cable is labeled with either 1 or 2, or is color-coded. In addition to these labels, you
should add a code that identifies which port on the Main Hub is being used and which Expansion
Hub the cables are intended for. This differentiates the connectors for proper connection between
the Main Hub and Expansion Hubs.
For example:
First pair to Main Hub port 1: 11 (uplink), 12 (downlink);
Second pair to Main Hub port 2: 21 (uplink), 22 (downlink);
Third pair to Main Hub port 3: 31 (uplink), 32 (downlink); and so on.
NOTE: The Fusion Wideband One Port Main Hub (PN: FSN-1-MH-1P and FSN-2-MH-2-1P) configuration
is a cost reduced version of the Fusion Wideband Main Hub and supports only one Expansion Hub
(up to 8 RAUs).
If the fiber jumper is labeled with 1 or 2
1Connect 1s to UPLINK ports on the Main Hub.
2Connect 2s to DOWNLINK ports on the Main Hub.
3Record which cable number and port number you connected to UPLINK and DOWNLINK.
(This information is needed when connecting the other end of the fiber cable to the Expansion
Hub’s fiber ports.)
The fiber port LEDs should be off, indicating that the Expansion Hub(s) are not connected.

If the Fiber Jumper is Color-Coded
1Connect “blue” to UPLINK ports on the Main Hub.
2Connect “red” to DOWNLINK ports on the Main Hub.
3Record which color and port number you connected to UPLINK and DOWNLINK.
This information is needed when connecting the other end of the fiber cable to the Expansion
Hub’s fiber ports.
The fiber port LEDs should be off, indicating that the Expansion Hub(s) are not connected.
Making Power Connections
CAUTION! Only trained and qualified personnel should install or replace this equipment.
Follow the procedure that corresponds to your system design:
•AC Powered Main Hub
•DC Powered Main Hub and Expansion Hub.
AC Powered Main Hub
1Connect the AC power cord to the Main Hub.
2Plug the power cord into an AC power outlet.
DC Powered Main Hub and Expansion Hub
CAUTION! The protective earth connection should be connected before proceeding with power
connections. Confirm the DC power source is powered off during installation. Damage to hubs
may result if power is connected improperly.
The DC powered Main Hub and Expansion Hub are intended to be powered by a +48VDC power
source. The hubs are designed for 14AWG to 6AWG wire size connections. Use only UL listed
AWM wire, rated 600V and 90°C.
If wires larger than 6AWG are needed from the DC power source, follow local codes for reducing
the wire size at hub connection point.
Follow local codes for routing of power cables to power source.
The unit should be connected to a DC branch circuit breaker. A suitable disconnect device must
be provided in the DC branch, either a circuit breaker or switch, that can be employed to
disconnect power to the system during servicing.
Figure 18 illustrates the recommended routing of hub wires.

1Confirm that their optical loss does not exceed 3 dB optical budget. RL is less than -60dB.
2If fiber distribution panels are used, confirm that the total optical loss of fiber cable—from the
Main Hub through distribution panels and patch cords to the Expansion Hub—does not
exceed the optical budget.
3Make sure the fiber cable’s connectors are SC/APC (angle-polished). Using any other
connector type will result in degraded system performance and may damage the
equipment. (You can use an SC/APC pigtail if the fiber cable’s connectors are not SC/APC,
refer to “Splicing Fiber Optic Cable” on page 146, or replace the connectors.)
Connect the Fiber Cables
The fiber cable is labeled with either 1 or 2, or is color-coded. For proper connection between the
Main Hub ports and the Expansion Hub ports, refer to the numbering or color-coded connections
you recorded when installing the Main Hub(s).
If the Fiber Jumper Is Labeled with 1 or 2
1Connect 2 to DOWNLINK on the Expansion Hub.
The DL STATUS LED should turn green as soon as you connect the fiber. If it does not, there is
a downlink problem. Make sure you are connecting the correct cable to the port.
2Connect 1 to UPLINK on Expansion Hub.
The UL STATUS LED turns green on the first Main Hub communication. It may take up to 20
seconds to establish communication.
The Expansion Hub’s E-HUB STATUS LED turns green when the Main Hub sends it the
frequency band command.

3If the UL STATUS and E-HUB STATUS LEDs do not turn green/green, check the Main Hub
LEDs; see Step 2 in Table 92 on page 126.
If the Fiber Jumper Is Color-Coded
1Connect “red” to DOWNLINK on Expansion Hub.
The DL STATUS LED should turn green as soon as you connect the fiber. If it does not, there is
a downlink problem. Make sure you are connecting the correct cable to the port.
2Connect “blue” to UPLINK on Expansion Hub.
The UL STATUS LED turns green on the first Main Hub communication. It may take up to 20
seconds to establish communication.
The Expansion Hub’s E-HUB STATUS LED turns green when the Main Hub sends it the
frequency band command.
3If the UL STATUS AND E-HUB STATUS LEDs do not turn green/green, check the Main Hub
LEDs; see Step 2 in Table 92 on page 126.
Connecting the 75 Ohm CATV Cables
1Verify that the cable has been tested and the test results have been recorded. This information
is required for the As-Built Document.
2Verify that only the captive centerpin F connectors are used on the solid copper center
conductor CATV cable from CommScope (or equivalent).
3Verify that the CATV cable is labeled with:
•Fusion Wideband Expansion Hub port number being used
•RAU identifier
•carrier (for multiple operator systems).
4Connect the CATV cables to the F ports according to the labels on the cables.
The STATUS LEDs should be off because the RAUs are not connected yet at the other end of
the CATV cable.
5Use the label on the cable to record which cable you are connecting to which port. This
information is required for the As-Built Document.
6Tie-off the cables or use the optional cable manager to avoid damaging the connectors due to
cable strain.

INSTALLING RAUS
CAUTION! Install RAUs in indoor locations only. Do not connect an antenna that is installed in an outdoor
location to a RAU. For outdoor installations, a protective enclosure is required.
NOTE: The following procedures assume that the system is new from the factory and that it has not
been programmed with bands. If you are replacing components in a pre-installed system with
either new units or units that may already be programmed (for example, re-using units from
another system), refer to “Replacing Fusion Wideband Components” on page 175.
RAU Installation Notes
•Mount all RAUs in the locations marked on the floor plans.
•Install 800 iDEN and 850/1900 MHz RAUs so that their antennas will be separated by enough
space to reduce signal interference between the 800 and 850 bands. Refer to “800/850 MHz
Isolation Requirements” on page 134 for recommended distance between antennas.
•You can place a RAU without its fastening hardware on a flat surface such as a shelf, desk,
cabinet, or any other horizontal surface that allows stable placement with the mounting base
facing down to the mounting surface.
•To mount a RAU to a location such as a wall, ceiling, or pole, the RAU must be securely
mounted using the four slotted mounting holes on the #6 diameter fasteners. The mounting
location must be able to securely hold a minimum 7-pound load.
•For proper ventilation:
–Keep at least 3-inch clearance (76 mm) around the RAU to ensure proper venting.
–Do not stack RAUs on top of each other.
–Always mount the RAU with the solid face (containing the mounting holes) against the
mounting surface.
Installing Passive Antennas
Refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions to install passive antennas.
Location
Passive antennas are usually installed below the ceiling. If they are installed above the ceiling, you
must consider the additional loss due to the ceiling material when estimating the antenna
coverage area.

800/850 MHz Isolation Requirements
When deploying any RF system, give special attention to preventing receiver blocking or
desensitization by out-of-band transmitters. Typically, sharp filters in the receiver front-end will
reduce the interfering transmitters to tolerable levels. In select cases, the interferers may occupy
a frequency band that is directly adjacent to the receiving band and cannot be adequately rejected
by filtering. The only recourse in these situations is to provide sufficient isolation by physically
separating the interfering transmitters and receivers.
iDEN occupies spectrum at:
•800 MHz
–Tx is 851–869
–Rx is 806–824
•900 MHz
–T is 935–941
–Rx:896–902).
The Cellular A and B carriers share a single 850 MHz block:
•Tx is 869–894
•Rx is 824–849.
The combination of these frequency bands, 800/900 MHz iDEN and 850 MHz Cellular, result in
uplink (BTS receive) bands that are adjacent to downlink (BTS transmit) bands. Figure 19 depicts
these nearly contiguous bands, with arrows indicating the interfering downlink and receiving
uplink bands.
Figure 19. 800/850 MHz Spectrum
Installation of an in-building distributed antenna system (DAS) to provide coverage for both
800/900 MHz iDEN and 850 MHz Cellular must account for these downlink-to-uplink
interference issues and provide adequate isolation (Figure 20 on page 135).

Figure 20. Fusion Wideband 800/850/1900 MHz RAU Antenna Placement Guideline
TE offers the following guidelines toward achieving the proper amount of isolation when
deploying TE Fusion Wideband DAS products.
800 MHz iDEN Downlink and 850 MHz Cellular Uplink
A 2 MHz frequency gap (851 – 849 MHz) separates the 800 iDEN downlink and 850 Cellular
uplink frequency bands. Because of this narrow spacing, 800 iDEN downlink intermodulation
products may fall within the 850 Cellular uplink band. In addition, 800 iDEN downlink signals
near the lower edge of the band at 851 MHz may cause the 850 Cellular uplink automatic level
control (ALC) circuitry in the RAU to engage and thereby reduce uplink gain.
To prevent either of these conditions, use the following guidelines:
•In-band 800 iDEN intermodulation products < -90dBm
•Lower frequency 800 iDEN signals < –30dBm for Fusion Wideband
Given a typical DAS configuration (four iDEN carriers, omni-directional antennas, line of sight),
these guidelines translate to an antenna spacing (d1) of 6 – 9 meters.
850 MHz Cellular Downlink and 900 MHz iDEN Uplink
A 2 MHz frequency gap (896 – 894 MHz) separates the 850 Cellular downlink and 900 iDEN
uplink frequency bands. Because of this narrow spacing, 850 Cellular downlink intermodulation
products may fall within the 900 iDEN uplink band. In addition, 850 Cellular downlink signals
near the upper edge of the band at 894 MHz may cause the 900 iDEN uplink ALC to engage and
thereby reduce uplink gain.
To prevent either of these conditions, use the following guidelines:
•In-band 850 Cellular intermodulation products < -90dBm
•Upper frequency 850 Cellular signals < –30dBm for Fusion Wideband
Given a typical DAS configuration (six CDMA carriers for Fusion Wideband, omni-directional
antennas, line of sight), these guidelines translate to an antenna spacing (d2) of 8-14 meters.
Spacing between RAUs FSN-8519-1 and FSN-809019-2 should be in a range of from 8 to 14
meters.

3Verify that the CATV cable is labeled with:
•Fusion Wideband Main Hub port number being used
•RAU identifier
•carrier (for multiple operator systems).
4Connect the CATV cables to the F female port on the RAU according to the label on the cable.
Power is supplied by the Fusion Wideband Main Hub over the CATV cable conductors. Upon
power up, the LEDs will blink for two seconds as a visual check that they are functioning. After
the two-second test:
•The LINK LED should be green indicating it is receiving power and communications from
the Fusion Wideband Main Hub.
•The ALARM LED should be red until the Fusion Wideband Main Hub issues the band
command, within about 20 seconds, then it should be green.
5Record which cable you are connecting to the RAU (from the label on the cable). This
information is required for the As-Built Document.
6Tie-off cables or use the optional cable manager to avoid damaging the connectors due to
cable strain.

CONFIGURING THE FUSION WIDEBAND SYSTEM
Before the system can operate properly, use AdminBrowser to program the Fusion Wideband
Main Hub with the frequency bands that are to be distributed. The Hub must be programmed with
the same frequencies as the RAU used.
The AdminBrowser software, described in the AdminBrowser User Manual (PN D-620607-0-20),
must be running on a PC/laptop.
NOTE: The frequency bands should automatically be set on power up and this step should not be
required.
NOTE: Crossover Ethernet cable with male connectors required.
NOTE: The following procedures assume that the system is new from the factory and that it has not
been programmed with bands. If you are replacing components in a pre-installed system with
either new units or units that may already be programmed (for example, re-using units from
another system), refer to “Replacing Fusion Wideband Components” on page 175.
Connecting the PC to the Main Hub to Run AdminBrowser
1Connect the AC power cord to the Hub.
CAUTION! Make sure the Hub is grounded through the ground lug on the AC power and the frame ground
lug as required. The warranty does not cover damage caused when an ungrounded Hub is
powered on.
2Plug the power cord into an AC power outlet.
3Verify that all cables are properly connected on the Hub.
4Turn on the power to the Hub.
All LEDs blink through the power up sequence. At each port where a RAU is detected (drawing
current), the port LEDs turn green. The Fusion Wideband STATUS LED is orange during
system boot and should turn green after about 90 seconds if it finds no faults. This state
indicates the band’s are not programmed and provides feedback on the status of the RAU
connections.
The LEDs blink for 20 seconds as a visual check that they are functioning.
5Connect the cross-over Ethernet cable to the PC/laptop and then to the RJ-45 100-BASE-T
port on the Hub’s front panel.

SPLICING FIBER OPTIC CABLE
The fiber cable must have SC/APC connectors for the entire run. If it does not, you can splice a
pigtail, which has SC/APC connectors, to the fiber cable.
TE offers two pigtails:
•one for single-mode fiber (PN 4013SCAPC-3)
•one for multi-mode fiber (PN 4012SCAPC-3).
TE recommends Fusion Wideband splices because they have the lowest splice loss and return
loss. Mechanical splices have higher losses and higher back reflection than Fusion Wideband
splices and are not recommended.
Using a Fusion Wideband splicer involves fusing together two butted and cleaved ends of fiber.
The Fusion Wideband splicer aligns the fibers and maintains alignment during the Fusion
Wideband process. Fusion Wideband splices have very low loss (typically less than 0.05 dB) and
very low back reflection (return loss).
Organize Fusion Wideband splices in a splice tray designed to store and protect the splices.
NOTE: The following procedures assume that the system is new from the factory and that it has not
been programmed with bands. If you are replacing components in a pre-installed system with
either new units or units that may already be programmed (for example, re-using units from
another system), refer to “Replacing Fusion Wideband Components” on page 175.
Complete one of the following procedures as appropriate to the system design:
•“Option A: Fusion Wideband Splice the Fiber-Optic Cable to the SC/APC Pigtail” on page 146
•“Option B: Fusion Wideband Splice the Fiber-Optic Cable to the SC/APC Pigtail” on page 147.
Option A: Fusion Wideband Splice the Fiber-Optic Cable to the SC/APC Pigtail
1Make sure the Fusion Wideband splicer is set to the proper mode (that is, single- or
multi-mode).
2Secure both the fiber cable and the SC/APC pigtail in a splice tray that is installed immediately
adjacent to the Hub.
3Prepare the fiber end by cutting back the polyethylene jacket, the kevlar or fiberglass strength
members, the extruded coating, and the buffer coating in order to expose the “bare fiber”
(cladding plus core).
4Ensure that sufficient slack is maintained that can reach the Fusion Wideband splicer.
5Clean the unclad fiber core using isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes.
6Cleave the unclad fiber to the length prescribed by the Fusion Wideband splicer’s
specification sheets.
7Repeat Step 4 through Step 6 for the SC/APC pigtail.
8Pass the splice sleeve onto the fiber strand.
9Position both fiber ends in the Fusion Wideband splicer and complete the splice in accordance
with the Fusion Wideband splicer’s operation instructions.

10 Ensure that the estimated loss for the splice as measured by the Fusion Wideband splicer is
0.10 dB or better.
11 Slide the Fusion Wideband splicing sleeve over the point of the Fusion Wideband splice.
12 Place the sleeve and fused fiber into the Fusion Wideband splicer’s heater.
13 Allow time for the splice sleeve to cure.
14 Return fiber splice to the splice tray, store the sleeve in a splice holder within the tray, and
store excess cable length in accordance with the tray manufacturer’s directions.
15 After successfully testing the fiber, plug the SC/APC pigtail into the proper optical port on the
Hub.
Option B: Fusion Wideband Splice the Fiber-Optic Cable to the SC/APC Pigtail
1Make sure the Fusion Wideband splicer is set to the proper mode (that is, single- or
multi-mode).
2Secure both the fiber cable and the SC/APC pigtail in a splice tray portion of a fiber
distribution panel.
3Prepare the fiber end by cutting back the polyethylene jacket, the kevlar or fiberglass strength
members, the extruded coating, and the buffer coating in order to expose the “bare fiber”
(cladding plus core).
4Ensure that sufficient slack is maintained in order to be able to reach the Fusion Wideband
splicer.
5Clean the unclad fiber core using isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes.
6Cleave the unclad fiber to the length prescribed by the Fusion Wideband splicer’s
specification sheets.
7Repeat Step 3 through Step 6 for the SC/APC pigtail.
8Pass the splice sleeve onto the fiber strand.
9Position both fiber ends in the Fusion Wideband splicer and complete splice in accordance
with the Fusion Wideband splicer’s operation instructions.
10 Ensure that the estimated loss for the splice as measured by the Fusion Wideband splicer is
0.10 dB or better.
11 Slide the Fusion Wideband splicing sleeve over the point of the Fusion Wideband splice.
12 Place the sleeve and fused fiber into the Fusion Wideband splicer’s heater.
13 Allow time for the splice sleeve to cure.
14 Return fiber splice to the splice tray, store the sleeve in a splice holder within the tray, and
store excess cable length in accordance with the tray manufacturer’s directions.
15 After successfully testing the fiber cable, plug the SC/APC pigtail into the back side of the
SC/APC bulkhead in the Fiber Distribution Panel.
16 Install a SC/APC patch cord between the front side of the SC/APC bulkhead and the proper
optical port on the Hub.

CONNECTING CONTACT ALARMS TO A FUSION WIDEBAND SYSTEM
The Fusion Wideband Main Hub can generate (source) two contact alarms as well as sense three
external contact alarm.
•Alarm Source—The Fusion Wideband Main Hub has two alarm contacts, fault (major) and
warning (minor). These contacts are normally-closed (NC) and will open when an internal
alarm is detected. For further information, see “Alarm Source” on page 157.
NOTE: The contact can be changed to normally-open (NO) with AdminBrowser, however, this is not
recommended since no alarm would be sent if power to the Fusion Wideband Main Hub fails.
–Fault is activated when any faults or disconnects are detected.
–Warning is activated when any warning conditions are detected except lockout or when
the end-to-end system test is not valid.
•Alarm Sense—The Fusion Wideband Main Hub can monitor three external alarm contacts.
Each port can be configured for normally-open (NO) or normally-closed (NC) contacts. The
interface expects a set of floating contacts, and an external voltage source is not required for
this interface. Use AdminBrowser to monitor the port status. For further information, see
“A la r m S en s e ” o n p age 1 6 0 .
Table 95 lists the alarm types, equipment to which the Fusion Wideband Main Hub is connected,
cable(s) used, and the faults and warnings that are detected.
NOTE: FlexWave Focus supports only faults (major errors).

closures or other external alarms.
NOTE: The following procedures assume that the system is installed and has been programmed with
bands.
Using FlexWave Focus to Monitor Fusion Wideband
When you connect FlexWave Focus to the Fusion Wideband, the Fusion Wideband Main Hub is
the output of the alarms (alarm source) and Focus is the input (alarm sense), as shown in

Using a Base Station to Monitor Fusion Wideband
NOTE: Prior to connecting a Fusion Wideband Main Hub to a BTS, the carrier must configure the BTS for
contact closure monitoring.
When you connect a BTS to Fusion Wideband, the Fusion Wideband Main Hub is the alarm source
(output) and the BTS is the alarm sense (input), as shown in Figure 28. An interface cable is
required between the daisy-chain cable and the BTS. Because BTS alarm interface pinouts and
Fusion Wideband-to-BTS distances vary, this cable is often custom and wired on-site. Refer to
“Uplink/Downlink Optical-Fiber Ports” on page 33 for Alarm Contact details (Normally Closed).
Figure 28. Using a BTS to Monitor Fusion Wideband
NOTE: For normally open contacts, the fault and warning contacts need to be wired in parallel with
other Main Hubs.
NOTE: TE does not recommend using normally open contacts.

Alarm Sense
Use AdminBrowser to enable the Fusion Wideband system for “alarm sense” when connecting to
the contact closure of Unison Main Hubs or other external alarms (refer to “Set Contact Sense
Properties” in the AdminBrowser User Manual).
NOTE: This procedure assumes that the system is installed and that has been programmed with bands.
When you connect Unison to Fusion Wideband, the Fusion Wideband Main Hub is the alarm sense
(input) and the Unison is the alarm source (output), as shown in Figure 30. The input alarm sense
needs to be set to normally closed (NC).
Figure 30. Using Fusion Wideband to Monitor Unison
Unison supports only faults. You must use the Alarm Sense Adapter Cable to interface the
daisy-chain cable to Fusion Wideband (see Figure 31). The adapter cable is required because it
translates the Unison fault pinout to the sense input pins on the Fusion Wideband Main Hub.

TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: Fusion has no user-serviceable parts. Faulty or failed units are fully replaceable through TE; see
“Appendix D: Contacting TE Connectivity” on page 229.
Sources of potential problems include:
•faulty cabling/connector
•malfunction of one or more Fusion components
•antenna, Base Station, or repeater problem
•external RF interface
•tripped circuit breaker
•equipment is not grounded
•using an Ethernet crossover cable that does not support full hardware handshaking when
using AdminBrowser.
NOTE: Faulty cabling is the cause of a vast majority of problems. All CATV 75 Ohm cable should be tested
to TIA-570-B specifications. The RAU will be damaged if the cable connector is not installed
properly.
Use AdminBrowser for troubleshooting the system. Only use the LEDs as backup or for
confirmation.
If you cannot determine the cause of a problem after following the recommended procedures, call
the TE Customer Support Team (see “Appendix D: Contacting TE Connectivity” on page 229).
Please be prepared to provide the following information:
•serial number of the unit
•description of the problem
•the length of the CATV cable and what type is it (for example RG-6)
•status of the LEDs on the unit
•when the unit was last power cycled.
Use AdminBrowser 1.00 to access Special Features, and then use the Get Service Information
window to generate a service file. Save and email this file to TE.

Troubleshooting Using AdminBrowser
Use AdminBrowser software to determine the current faults and warnings for all of the units in
the system. To troubleshoot, start with the Fusion Main Hub’s faults AND warnings, then proceed
to each of the Expansion Hubs, finishing with each of the RAUs.
NOTE: AdminBrowser v1.00 displays events (faults, warnings, or status messages) depending on your
view preference. To change your view preference, refer to “View Alarm Preferences” on page 39.
System Troubleshooting
Do the following to get a list of warnings and system status:
1Log in to AdminBrowser.
2Click System Information.
3Click Get Faults, Warnings and Statuses.
This gives the present status of the system, which is dependent on the View Preferences for all
components.
Faults usually impact service; warnings may impact service; status messages contain information
that should not be ignored, but indicate conditions that do not generally impact service.
NOTE: System commands can take longer to execute compared to component commands.
NOTE: This RAU icon indicates there is fault on the RAU. This icon indicates a disconnected
device. You cannot request status on a disconnected device.
Troubleshooting Recommendations
Some actions that you can take, depending on the device fault or warning include, are as follows:
•Hardware faults on Expansion Hub.
–Try swapping fiber with another Expansion Hub at the Main Hub.
–Try cleaning the fiber and the fiber ports with alcohol foam tip swab and compressed air;
see “Cleaning the Fiber Ports” on page 182.
–Power cycle the Expansion Hub.
•In AdminBrowser, under Alarms, click CLEAR ALL DISCONNECTS at the Fusion Main Hub.
•Power cycle the Fusion Main Hub.
•For RAU hardware faults, try moving a working CATV to the suspect port and verifying that
the RAU comes up OK.
•Try isolating the system components:
–Check to see if the whole system is effected or a portion of the system.
–If the whole system is effected, disconnect the DAS system from the RF source and see if
the RF source is working.
–Continue to isolate by disabling portions of the system. In AdminBrowser, under System
Configuration, click Show System Tree, select a component, and then click Set Out of
Service/Set in Service.

Fault/Warning/Status Indications
Once all of the units are powered on and the cable connections are made, the faults from each unit
can be requested using AdminBrowser. Start with the Fusion Main Hub and work downstream.
Resolve all faults first and then check the warnings. Take appropriate action to resolve the faults,
as indicated in the following tables. In cases where there is more than one possible cause, they are
listed from the “most likely” to the “least likely” cause. Actions are listed in the order that they
should be performed; not all actions may need to be done.
NOTE: If you have a red STATUS LED without a fault message, it probably indicates that the unit is locked
out.
Refer to “Appendix C: Faults, Warnings, Status Tables for Fusion, Fusion Wideband, Fusion
SingleStar” on page 209 for tables containing Fault, Warning, and Status messages and their
meanings.
Troubleshooting Using LEDs
The following troubleshooting information is from the perspective that all Fusion equipment is
installed, their cables are connected, and they are powered on. It is also assumed that the system
was operating normally before the problem to be diagnosed occurred.
NOTE: Always use AdminBrowser, if possible, to troubleshoot the system. The Fusion Main Hub and
Expansion Hub LEDs are for backup troubleshooting. The RAU LEDs probably will not provide
additional information for troubleshooting.
Troubleshooting Main Hub LEDs During Normal Operation
All of the Main Hub’s LEDs should be green during normal operation. If any LEDs are red, get
status using AdminBrowser to determine the exact cause and recommendations.

NOTE: For Canadian customers, the Manufacturer’s rated output power1 of this equipment is for single
carrier operation. For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have
to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause
interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or
gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device.
NOTE: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.

HUMAN EXPOSURE TO RF
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has developed guidelines for evaluation of
human exposure to RF emissions. The guidelines incorporate limits for Maximum Permissible
Exposure (MPE) for power density of transmitters operating at frequencies between 300 kHz and
100 GHz. Limits have been set for portable, mobile, and fixed equipment. TE products fall in the
category of fixed equipment; products intended to be permanently secured and exposures are
evaluated for distances greater than 20cm (7 7/8”). Portable devices fall into exposures of less
than 20cm, are SAR evaluations are used.
Antenna gain is restricted to 1.5 W ERP (2.49 W EIRP) in order to satisfy RF exposure compliance
requirements. If higher than 1.5 W ERP, routine MPE evaluation is needed. The antennas should
be installed to provide at least 20 cm from all persons to satisfy MPE requirements of FCC Part 2,
2.1091.
Basic MPE evaluation is performed by taking the maximum power output of the equipment, the
gain of the antenna to be used, and distance from the antenna, referenced in FCC OET Bulletin 65
“Evaluation Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency for Electric
Fields”.
TE products transmit well below the FCC power density limits. FCC defines power output limits
at 20cm distance for various frequency ranges:
•Over 300 MHz to 1.5 GHz the limit is determined by frequency/1500
•Above 1.5 GHz the limit is 1mW/cm2
The basic equation for determining power density is:
S = PG / 4πR2
Where S is power density in mW/cm2
PG, the transmitted power from the antenna identified as EIRP (Equivalent Isotropically Radiated
Power), is the product of power output of device and antenna gain, in mW.
R is the distance of interest from the antenna.
Typical Installation Example:
Assuming an antenna is placed on a 10 foot ceiling, for a person 6 feet tall, the distance from
antenna to body is 4 feet (112 cm.).
For a PCS 1900 remote unit, the maximum power output, according to the power table in
“Maximum Output Power Per Carrier” on page 65, is 16.5 dB.
Assuming a 7 dBi antenna is used, PG in the equation is equal to 23.5 dB (224 mW) EIRP.
Using S = PG/4πR2
S = 224/(4x3.14) x (122)2 = 0.001 mW/cm2
Also, assuming a minimum distance of 20 cm according to FCC regulations:
S = 224/(4 x 3.14) x (20)2 = 0.04 mW/cm2

FAULTS REPORTED BY MAIN HUBS
Faults indicate service-impacting conditions and should be given immediate attention.
Once all of the units are powered on and the cable connections are made, the faults from each unit
can be requested using AdminBrowser. Start with the Fusion or Fusion Wideband Main Hub and
work downstream.
Resolve all faults first and then check the warnings. Take appropriate action to resolve the faults,
as indicated in the following tables. In cases where there is more than one possible cause, they are
listed from the “most likely” to the “least likely” cause. Actions are listed in the order that they
should be performed; not all actions may need to be done.
NOTE: If you have a red STATUS LED without a fault message, it probably indicates that the unit is locked
out.
