Installer supplies and installs RET cables in lengths according to site requirements. The RET cable can be daisy-chained to other antennas served by the iRM4451nn00-2 iRRH if the option is provided by the RET motor manufacturer. Antenna RET control is facilitated within the EMS user interface. The Installer is responsible for providing and pre-assembly of the standardized RET cable and connector in a length according to site requirements. 3.2.5 Fronthaul connectors Two Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) optical SFP fronthaul ports provide connection for up to two duplex multi-/single-mode optical GigE cables. The GigE entry ports, labeled FH1 and FH2, are located on the bottom of the iRM4451nn00-2 iRRH (see Figure 3-4). Connector FH1 is intended for fronthaul support. FH2 is used to daisychain sidehaul support to up to one other iRM4451nn00-2. The macro iRRH is shipped with Rosenberger Fiber Enclosure (RFE) flange (PN 98Z405-K00)—a bulkhead connector with captive dust cover—installed. The mate to the flange is the RFE ‘plug’ (Rosenberger PN 98Z105-S00) which contain the two duplex optical GigE fiber cables and protects the fiber connections. One (1) RFE plug is provided with the macro iRRH. They are UL94-V0 and IP67 compliant at–40° to 158° F (–40° to 70° C). 3-8 iRM4451nn00-2 iRRH Product Description and Installation Guide Physical description To assemble the Rosenberger RFE plug, the threaded sealing nut is first routed onto the fiber cable, followed by installation of a split grommet and clamping claw onto the fiber itself (see Figure 3-10 for the order of RFE assembly). The fiber cable/split grommet/clamping claw assembly is then pressed and seated into the plug body. Approximately 3–5 in (76–127 mm) of fiber cable, including the duplex fiber plug, should extend beyond the outside after the RFE ‘plug’ assembly is assembled. The RFE plug is assembled by screwing the threaded sealing nut clockwise until it seats into position, hand tight, on the plug body. This completes the assembly of the RFE plug. The fiber connector is then inserted into the SFP fiber module, which is recessed in the iRRH fronthaul port, until it ‘clicks’ into position. Any slack fiber cable is stored inside the RFE plug. The RFE alignment rails on the RFE plug are engaged now with the bulkhead connector. When pushed in firmly, it ‘clicks’ into place and is locked onto the bulkhead connector completing the installation. The RFE cannot be removed because the latch function has been disabled by the obstruction at the latch pivot when seating the threaded sealing nut. To remove the RFE plug from the bulkhead connector, the plug housing must be turned counter-clockwise until obstruction of the release latches on either side of the plug body, has been cleared. Finally, pressing on both latches at the same time and pulling the plug body removes the RFE from the bulkhead connector. Figure 3-10 Rosenberger RFE fiber-optic enclosure The dust covers over the FH1 and FH2 flanges should remain in place until the GigE optical Ethernet cables are connected and on any unused port. The dust covers are keyed to ensure proper installation. To remove the dust cover, just pull it off. The dust covers are re-installed in the opposite manner. The recommended GigE fiber optic cable (x2) is OM1 62.5/125, military fiber cable, with dual LC/dual LC termination and is provided by L-Com (FODLCMIL-nn, or equivalent, where nn = length in meters). The Installer is responsible for ordering this cable in the appropriate length according to site requirements. iRM4451nn00-2 iRRH Product Description and Installation Guide 3-9 Physical description NOTE Remove the dust cap only when ready to connect the cable to the iRM4451nn00-2. The GigE optical fronthaul cables are supplied and pre-installed at the site by the Installer. Detailed assembly instructions (Rosenberger PN MA_98A1) are supplied with each Rosenberger RFE in its packing box. 3.2.6 Alarms connector There is a panel-mount plug connector (ALARMS) located on the side of the iRM4451nn00-2 for aggregating alarms from equipment near the macro iRRH. It is a Lumberg 03 series 12-pin screw-lock circular DIN connector. The alarms cable receptacle (plug) is provided as a kit.
