System Architecture | Figure 1-2
1.3 System Architecture
Figure 1-2 illustrates the MRU system architecture. In
the downlink, at the headend, BTS/BDA RF signals are
conditioned by service-specific RIMs installed in the
headend unit (i.e. HEU/IHU), ensuring a constant RF level.
The conditioned signals are then forwarded to the OIU and
converted by the OIMs to an optical signal for transporting
over single-mode fiber to the MRUs at the remote locations.
All mobile services are combined and distributed through a
single antenna port over the broadband antenna infrastructure
installed at the remote locations. In the uplink, the process is
reversed. As illustrated in the system architecture shown in
Figure 1-2, all mobile services are combined and distributed
through a single antenna port over the broadband antenna
infrastructure installed at the remote locations.

MRU Interfaces 2
CHAPTER
This chapter provides detailed descriptions of the MRU
chassis and main modules and interfaces. This content
includes port and LED interface descriptions. The MRU
comprises the following main modules:
• Power amplifier modules (PAM) – internal service-
specific power amplifier module that interfaces to an
optical interface module (OIM) at the headend site via
a single-mode pair and supports one service. MRU
supports up to seven bands. The PAM provides the
additional amplification on the DL signals routed from
the OIM toward the multiplexer. PAMs are pre-installed
in designated slots according to supported band.
• Multiplexer – combines the UL and DL RF signals of
the supported services in addition to external RF signal
(future option for connecting to external 2.5 GHz signal
source) while providing the proper filtering into a single
duplexed antenna port.
• Optical Module – includes the fiber optic, RF expansion,
and external alarm interfaces.
• Power supply module (PSM) – local AC or remote DC
power feed (model dependent).
• Fan module (FAM) – integrated fan module comprised of
four fans which are also monitored via the Web GUI.
The MRU includes front panel interfaces (e.g. antenna,
fiber optic connections, and LED status indicators) as
well as status indicators per each internal module (which
are accessed by opening the cabinet door). The following
sections provide details on the front panel and internal
module interfaces.

Installation Guidelines
This chapter provides installation guidelines for the
Corning optical network evolution (ONE™) solutions MRU.
The following installation rules are based on the assumption
that the site survey and installation planning (including
power requirements) have been completed. This preparation
includes planning the distribution of antennas to provide
the required coverage, as well as planning the layout of the
devices and cables in the telecom closet or shaft.
3.1 Site Considerations
• The distance between the MRU service antenna and the
coverage area should correspond to line of sight (LoS)
requirements for maximum coverage area.
• The maximum fiber path loss is 5 dB.
• The system delay of the optical system must be taken
into consideration when there are neighboring BTS sites
overlapping in coverage.
3.2 Safety Guidelines
Before installing the equipment, review the following safety
information:
• Follow all local safety regulations when installing the
equipment.
• Only qualified personnel are authorized to install and
maintain the repeater.
• Ground specified equipment with the provided

3.3.1 Rack Safety Instructions
The following guidelines are relevant to the rack installed
units. Review the following guidelines to help ensure your
safety and protect the equipment from damage during the
installation.
• Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed
to install or replace this equipment.
• The equipment has been designed to operate at the
temperature range as stated in the product specifications.
Verify that ambient temperature of the environment does
not exceed the maximum MRU operating temperature of
65°C (149°F).
• IMPORTANT! If installed in a closed or multi-unit
rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the
rack environment may be greater than the room ambient.
Therefore, ensure that the installation environment
complies with the maximum MRU operating temperature.
• Ensure that adequate airflow and ventilation within
the rack and around the installed components so that
the safety of the equipment is not compromised. It is
recommended to allow for at least about 1 in of airspace
between devices in the rack.
• Verify that the equipment is grounded as required –
especially in installations using supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of
power strips).
3.3.2 Rack Installation Guidelines
• To maintain a low center of gravity, ensure that heavier
equipment is installed near the bottom of the rack and
load the rack from the bottom to the top.
• Verify that the rack height can support the unit to be
installed (MRU rack height = 6U), where you may also
want to consider future installations.
3.4 Power Requirements
3.4.1 Power Safety Instructions
SAFETY WARNINGS! When installing or selecting
the power supplies:
• For AC models – only use the provided AC power cable
(straight, U.S. 10 A, UL, L = 1.8-2.5 m, black,110 V)
to connect the power supply to the MRU.
• Be sure to disconnect all power sources before servicing.
• Calculate the required power according to the
requirements of the specific installation and then
determine the configuration of the power supplies. The
required DC cables will then be determined by the
selected power supply configuration.
• Use only UL-approved power supplies.
• Install external overcurrent protective devices for the
system according to the power specifications described
in Section 1.2.3.
3.4.2 Types of Power Supplies
Corning supplies various power supplies that can be
installed in a rack or mounted on a wall, depending on your
configuration.
3.4.3 Circuit Breakers
Calculate the required fuse protection while referring
to power specifications described in Appendix A:
Specifications. When installing fuse protections for the
system, make sure to take into account other Corning
system elements that may require external fuse protection
as well.
3.4.4 Cable Routing
Ensure all cables, e.g. power cable, feeder cable, optical
fiber, commissioning cable, connecting are properly routed
and secured to avoid damage.
User Manual | CMA-438-AEN | Page 17 of 44
3.5 RF Coaxial Cable Guidelines
3.5.1 General RF 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 ft (where practical above ceiling
level). Where this is not practical, the following should
be observed:
• The minimum bending radius of the supplied
1/2-in coax cable should be 7 in.
• Cable that is kinked or has a bending radius
smaller than 7 in 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 is 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.
3.5.2 RF Rules
• Use coax RG-223, 50 Ohm, male-to-male QMA to
N-type for RF connections from the RIMs to the BTS and
4.3-10 type for MRU.
• When using the Corning remote unit in an environment
in which other indoor coverage systems are installed, it is
recommended (where possible) that the antennas are
placed at least 2 m apart.
• When bending coax cables, verify that the bending radius
does not exceed the coax specifications.
• Use wideband antennas supporting a range of 300 MHz
to 3 GHz.
• Terminate all unused MRU RF ports with a 50 Ohm load.
• Make sure that the VSWR measured at the coax cable
meets the product specification. The VSWR must be
measured before terminating the MRU RF ports in the
remote communication rooms.
3.5.3 Coax Cable Lengths and Losses
Use coax RG-223, 50 Ohm, for RF connections between
MRU and DAS antennas.
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.
• 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.

3.6 Antenna Specifications and
Guidelines
Determine the antenna installation configuration according
to the transmission and coverage requirements and the
installation site conditions.
3.6.1 Authorized Antennas and Required
Specifications
• External antennas – no limitation on any vendor of
available external antennas with respect to the following
requirements:
• Omnidirectional or directional, Supported frequency
range: wideband antennas supporting a range of 700 to
2600 MHz, Gain: up to 12.5 dBi, Impedance: 50 Ohm.
• Couplers – use N-male to N-female broadband coupler
separately ordered from Corning (P/N AK-1COUPLER-
NM-NF) or the equivalent:
• Broadband frequency: 300-3000 MHz, -20 dB coupling
(SMA coupling port), Maximum VSWR/return loss:12
dB, Maximum insertion loss: 0.2 dB
• Number of antennas that can be connected (with cables/
splitters) – it is not recommended to connect more than
one antenna per connector since 1:1 connectivity is
reduced with each split.
• Types of couplers/splitters – depends on number of splits
(not recommended).
3.6.2 General Installation Guidelines
• The MRU should be installed at a convenient location,
free of metallic obstruction (can also be installed in
plenum spaces).
• Install the MRU at the designated height and tune it
roughly toward the service coverage area.
• Installation of this antenna must provide a minimum
separation distance of 100 cm from any personnel within
the area.
• Cable and jumper loss is at least 2 dB.
3.7 Fiber Optic Requirements
3.7.1 Authorized Optical Cables
The following specified optical cables are authorized for
use with the MRU product:
• Composite plenum tether assemblies
• Fiber: LC APC, 2-24 fibers
• cu: 16, 14, 12 AWG; 2-12 conductors
• Armored, non-armored
3.7.2 Fiber Optic Rules
• Use only 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.
User Manual | CMA-438-AEN | Page 19 of 44
• 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 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.
3.8 Grounding Requirement
Verify that the equipment has been well grounded (refer to
the grounding lug on the bottom front panel of the MRU
chassis). This requirement includes antennas and all cables
connected to the system. Ensure lightning protection for the

Maintenance 5
CHAPTER
All of the MRU components (except backplanes) are hot
swappable and field upgradable modules (i.e. PSM, PAM,
OPTM, and FAM). Refer to Chapter 7 - Appendix B:
Ordering Information for stand-alone modules which can
be ordered for upgrade or maintenance purposes.
5.1 Extracting/Replacing PAM
and OPTM
ATTENTION! In the event that a PAM or the OPTM
needs to be removed from the chassis for upgrade or
maintenance purposes, make sure to first press the release
button on the module and then pull out using the handle.
Any attempt to pull out the module without first releasing
may cause damage. Corning will not be liable for damage
of products resulting from improper handling during
installation or repair.

*The typical coupling value for the supported bands is -26 dB; however, a delta of +/- 3 dB can be expected. As such, the actual coupling value for
each unit (measured for the DL center frequency of supported bands) is specified on a label on the unit. Note that the test port is bi-directional, so
that a UL signal can also be injected and measured with a -26 dB loss.
