Warnings and Admonishments
There may be situations, particularly for workplace environments near high-powered RF sources, where recommended limits
for safe exposure of human beings to RF energy could be exceeded. In such cases, restrictive measures or actions may be
necessary to ensure the safe use of RF energy.
The equipment has been designed and constructed to prevent, as far as reasonably, practicable danger. Any work activity on or
near equipment involving installation, operation or maintenance must be, as far as reasonably, free from danger.
Where there is a risk of damage to electrical systems involving adverse weather, extreme temperatures, wet, corrosive or dirty
conditions, flammable or explosive atmospheres, the system must be suitably installed to prevent danger.
Equipment provided for the purpose of protecting individuals from electrical risk must be suitable for the purpose and properly
maintained and used. This covers a range of activities including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying, moving, holding or
restraining an object, animal or person from the equipment. It also covers activities that require the use of force or effort, such as
pulling a lever, or operating power tools.
Where some of the above mentioned activities are required, the equipment must be handled with care to avoid being damaged.
Observe standard precautions for handling ESD-sensitive devices. Assume that all solid-state electronic devices are
ESD-sensitive. Ensure the use of a grounded wrist strap or equivalent while working with ESD-sensitive devices. Transport,
store, and handle ESD-sensitive devices in static-safe environments.

1 Introduction
1.1 About ONE™
The Optical Network Evolution Platform (ONE™) by Corning provides a flexible in-building RF and network digital coverage
solution based on a fiber optic transport backbone.
The fiber-optics infrastructure is easily deployable via a wide range of pre-terminated composite cables and advanced
end-to-end equipment. Easy to design, Plug and Play™ connectors, significantly reduce installation cost and deployment time.
The ONE™ solution is an ideal fit for large, high-rise or campus-style deployments. It generates significant CAPEX savings and
OPEX savings through the use of user configurable service distribution groups and an infrastructure that is simple to deploy and
efficient in usage.
Dynamic service distribution group management allows precise service distribution control to meet changing density needs,
and provides further savings by enabling sharing of equipment at various levels for service providers.
Radio source agnostic, remote units can be used as network extenders. Ethernet capability with dedicated fiber link for Wi-Fi
offload brings a higher level of granularity and support for devices and applications with very high speed requirements.
ONE™ fiber-optics infrastructure allows various combinations of SISO and MIMO services to be routed from the headend to
specified remote locations on each floor, according to user defined configurations (via the Web Management GUI). This allows
optimizing service coverage and provides equipment savings. While the fiber-optics infrastructure is common, the services can
be routed via service provider shared or dedicated equipment. By default, the system is configured to support a single service
group: all services are transferred to all remote locations. This default configuration can be easily modified according to site
requirements.
The following figure illustrates service distribution from the head-end to various locations on each remote floor. Each color
represents a specific service, where different combinations of services are distributed at various locations on the same floor
according to coverage requirements.

1.3.6 System Architecture and Topologies
The ONE™ solution fiber-optic infrastructure is used to transmit both RF and digital services:
• RF services – Broadband RF distribution over fiber-optics infrastructure transfers converged wireless services from the
headend towards Remote Access Units (RAU) deployed at the remote end locations according to user defined
configuration.
• Digital services – fiber-optics infrastructure transfers digital services from the corporate LAN to Gigabyte Ethernet Modules
(GEM) and then 3rd party equipment deployed on each floor.

1.3.6.1 RF Path
At the headend, RF signals from the RF signal sources (e.g. BTS/BDA) are conditioned by service specific (conditioner)
modules in the HEU (Headend Unit) and organized into (up to three) user configurable sectors. The conditioned RF signals are
converted to optic signals by the (wideband) OIU (Optic Interface Unit) and specific sectors are routed towards selected remote
locations according to user defined configurations.
The optic fibers at the OIU are routed to the ICU (Integrated Centralized Unit) at the remote end. From the ICU the optic fibers
are distributed along with DC to the Remote Access Units (RAU).

DRAFT
1.3.6.2 Digital Path
The Digital services from the corporate LAN (received via Ethernet Switch) are converted to optic signals by the CEU
(Centralized Ethernet Unit) and routed over optic fibers towards the GEM units. The optical traffic is then converted to 1GbE by
the GEM (Gigabit Ethernet Modules) modules and distributed to two third party equipment such as Access Points, Ethernet
switch, etc.
Note: GEMs can be connected to the CEU either directly, or via an ICU (described in section 1.3.6.1 ). In that case, the ICU can
also provide DC to the GEMs.

ONE™ fiber-optics infrastructure allows various combinations of SISO and MIMO services to be routed from the headend to
specified remote locations on each floor, according to user defined configurations. This allows optimizing service coverage and
provides equipment savings. While the fiber-optics infrastructure is common, the services can be routed via service provider
shared or dedicated equipment. By default, the system is configured to support a single service group: all services are
transferred to all remote locations. This default configuration can be easily modified according to site requirements.

DRAFT
1.5.1 MIMO Configurations
MIMO topologies provide more density by using two independent RF paths for the same service, where the independent paths
are implemented by dedicated modules along the path.
MIMO configuration is implemented by routing the two RF bands over dedicated RF paths at both the entry point (in the
Headend Unit) and at the exit point (at the Remote Unit). Note that the Optical Interface Unit is wideband and the services are
combined in a single OIM for routing to the same Remote End Unit. At the Remote End Unit, the services are distributed by two
dedicated modules.
Note: MIMO configuration can also be implemented by two separate Remote End Units.
Figure 1-8. Example of MIMO Configuration
1.5.2 Single Service Group Example
In this example, all four services (A,B,C,D) are routed to all (up to 72) remote locations. In the illustrated topology, a single HEU
conditions the services and feeds them to two OIU systems for conversion to optic signals. Each OIU supports up to 36 RAU
(Remote Access Units).

1.5.3 Dual Service Group Example
In this example, two service groups are defined: A,B,C and C,D. Note that a service can be allocated to any of the service
groups at the same time. For example, service C is allocated to both service groups. Both service groups are routed to the OIU
for optic conversion. Each OIU module (OIM) can be configured to support either one or (if they do not have a common band) to
both service groups and the corresponding services are routed from the OIM to its hosted RAU units.
NOTE: In the example below, band C is common to both Service groups #1 and #2; therefore, an OIM cannot be assigned both
service groups (i.e. ABC + CD).
Figure 1-10. Example of Dual service group Configuration
1.5.4 Tri Service Group Example
In this example, three service groups are defined: ABC, AB, CD. Note that a service can be allocated to any of the service
groups at the same time. For example, services C and B are allocated to two of the service groups. The services are routed to
the OIU for optic conversion. Each Optical Interface Module (OIM) can be configured to be included in either one, two or three
service groups in any combination and the corresponding services are routed from the OIM to its hosted RAU units.
Note: An OIM cannot support two service groups that have a common band (e.g. ABC and BC, or ABC and CD).

1.5.5 Tri Service Group Example with Two HEUs
This tri-service group example supports two HEUs. In this topology, the services routed via the two HEUs can be grouped in any
combination between the two, providing up to three service groups. These groups of services are all routed towards a common
OIU. Each OIU module (OIM) can be configured to support any (legal) combination of service groups and the corresponding
services are routed from the OIM to its hosted RAU units.
Note: Multiple service groups allocated to the same OIM cannot share any identical frequency bands.

4.6 RF Coaxial Cable Guidelines
4.6.1 General Cable Installation Procedures
Note: The installer should be familiar with the ANSI/TIA/EIS-568 Cabling Standard guidelines.
Observe the general cable installation procedures that meet with the building codes in your area. The building code requires
that all cabling be installed above ceiling level (where applicable). The length of cable from the risers to each antenna must be
concealed above the ceiling.
The cable must be properly supported and maintained straight using velcro cable ties, cable trays and clamps or hangers every
10 feet (where practical above ceiling level). Where this is not practical, the following should be observed:
• The minimum bending radius of the supplied ½” coax cable should be 7”.
• Cable that is kinked or has a bending radius smaller than 7” must be replaced.
• Cable runs that span less than two floors should be secured to suitably located mechanical structures.
• The cables should be supported only from the building structure.
• All cables shall be weather-resistant type.
• Cable length - determined by the system installation plan. When calculating the cable length, take into account excess cable
slack so as not to limit the insertion paths.
4.6.2 RF Rules
• Use coax RG-223, 50ohm, male-to-male N-type to QMA for RF connections from the RIMs to the BTS/RBS and to the
RAUs.
• When using the Corning system in an environment in which other indoor coverage systems are installed, it is recommended
(where possible) that the antennas are placed at least two meters apart
• When bending coax cables, verify that the bending radius does not exceed the coax specifications.
• Use a VSWR meter (i.e. Site Master or equivalent) for checking coax cables, including the antennas. (<2). The VSWR must
be measured prior to terminating the RAUs at the remote locations

Installation Guidelines P/N 709C011801 Page 57
DRAFT
4.6.3 Coax Cable Lengths and Losses
Use coax ½”, 50ohm, male-to-male QMA type, for connecting to RAU and external antenna ports.
Note: The required distance between the antennas (installed in the ceiling) depends on the infrastructure and calculated
path-loss. For example, if there is free space-loss between the antennas, a minimum distance of 100 ft is required; if
there are partitions (loss) between the antennas, a distance of less than 100 ft between them is allowed.

4.8.2 Fiber Optic Rules
• Use only MTP® or LC APC connectors
• UniCam connectors can be used for field termination
• Use only fusion splice for connecting two fibers
• Use minimum splicing/connectors to achieve minimum losses on the fibers (< 0.5 dB)
• Use precaution while installing, bending, or connecting fiber optic cables:
• Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending and crushing forces. Consult the cable specification sheet for
the cable you are installing.
• Do not bend cable more sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius.
• Do not apply more pulling force to the cable than specified.
• Do not crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause damage that can alter the transmission characteristics of
the cable. The cable may have to be replaced.
• Use an optical power meter and light source for checking the fiber optic cables
• Make sure the environment is clean while connecting/splicing fiber optic cables
• All fiber optic connectors should be cleaned prior to connecting to the system
• Fiber connector protective caps should be installed on all non-terminated fibers and removed just before they are
terminated.
• Pay special attention while connecting the MTP® and/or LC APC connectors – ensure that you hear a “click”, indicating a
secure connection
• Never look directly into the end of a fiber that may be carrying laser light. Laser light can be invisible and can damage your
eyes.

5 Installation – RF Path Elements
This chapter describes the installation of the RF path components. For specific guidelines on infrastructure planning, design
and installation, please consult with a Corning Product Line Manager or Corning approved Installer.
5.1 Headend Elements
The (RF coverage) headend site installation consists of installing the HEU and OIU units.
Note the following information (for both HEU and OIU units):
• The chassis and modules are supplied separately and must be inserted by the user. Only the fan module is factory installed
in the HEU/OIU chassis rear.
• The HEU and OIU units are installed at the IDF (Intermediate Distribution Frame), adjacent (or as close as possible) to each
other to facilitate the connections. See section 5.1.2.2 for an optimal 4x4 HEU-OIU rack configuration – in terms of location
in rack where each OIU is connected to each HEU.
• The ERFC cable (Expander Cable interconnecting the (OIU) OIX and (HEU) RIX modules) are provided in lengths ranging
from 16 to 59 in so as to accommodate a range of HEU-OIU rack installation configurations.
• Hot-swappable modules: RIM (RF Interface Modules) and Power Supply(ies), Fan Modules and RIX/OIX (HEU/OIU
Expander Modules). HCM, ACM modules are not hot-swappable.
• If a redundant power supply is provided, both supplies must be installed, connected to respective AC or DC power and
switched on.
• The 4x4 configuration includes four HEU units connected to four OIU units. This is the maximum number of headend units
that can be managed by a single HCM.
• The components of each system installation are control and managed via a single HCM which is installed in an HEU chassis.
In configurations with more than one HEU chassis, the HEU installed with an HCM module serves as the “Main” HEU,
whereas each additional HEU unit (Auxiliary) is installed with an ACM (see section 5.1.1).

DRAFT
5.1.1 HEU Main and Auxiliary Configurations
In a configuration with more than one HEU chassis, one HEU (Main) is installed with an HCM module whereas, the additional
HEU units (Auxiliary) are installed with ACM modules, enabling single source management of the ONE™ Wireless Platform
from a single HCM. Figure 5-1 provides an example of the management and RF connections between the Main and Auxiliary
HEU chassis and connected OIUs.
Each OIU is connected to its host HEU through two connections: MGMT (ETH to INTERNAL port) and RF (RIX/OIX ports). For
standalone configurations, up to four OIU chassis can be connected to an HEU.
Note: The maximum configuration is a 4x4 configuration including four HEU connected to four OIU (see section 5.1.2.6 for
RIX-OIX connections; see 0 for management connections).

• The RF service interfaces are implemented by service specific RIM/RIM-M modules that are provided separately according
to your order.
• In installations with more than one HEU, the HEU in which the HCM module is installed is determined as the “Main HEU”.
Any additional HEU unit is installed with an ACM module and is managed via the HCM in the Main HEU through an
RJ45/RJ45 connection (see section 5.1.1).
• One HEU supports connections to up to four OIU units
• The Cable management Tray can be assembled either before or after the unit is installed (see section 5.1.4 - HEU/OIU
Cable Management Tray).

Cascaded Management Connections:
The HCM supports cascaded management connections between ACM modules in cases where the system configuration
includes more than four ACM modules (e.g. 4x4 HEU-OIU configurations), where additional ACM modules and managed
devices are managed by the HCM via an indirect connection.
Figure 5-17 shows an example of how to cascade management connections in installations with more than four ACM modules.
Figure 5-17. Schematic Example of 4x4 Management Connections
Note: The management connections between the HCM and ACM modules are performed using CAT5 communication cables.
Make sure that an ACM which is directly connected to the HCM is done so via a single network connection, as to avoid
network conflicts (i.e. do not perform more than one connection between an ACM and HCM).
Where only HCM INTERNAL ports are available, use RJ45/RJ45 communication cables to perform the Headend management
connections as in Table 5-5:
