Introduction
The five band remote access unit (RAU5/RAU5x) is a fiber fed, multi-service indoor coverage remote solution for the Corning
™
Optical Network Evolution (ONE ) cellular solutions. It enables multiple wireless technologies and operator services to be
distributed over a single broadband infrastructure. The remote access unit supports up to five SISO services (model dependent)
in various combinations in addition to two MIMO services via an expansion module. The RF services are routed from the
headend according to user defined service groups over single-mode fiber and converted for distribution by the specified
remotes via an external broadband antenna
Note: RAU5/RAU5x can be ordered with a preassembled Corning external antenna or can be connected to external omni
directional or directional antennas complying with the requirements specified in Section 3.6.1.
The remote unit can host two additional modules:
• Remote expansion unit (RXU) – provides MIMO support for LTE700, and AWS
• Gigabit Ethernet module (GEM) – provides Gigabit Ethernet support, enabling offload, expansion and effective use of Wi-Fi
resources. Ethernet 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 and distributed to two third party equipment such as access points, Ethernet switch, etc.
™
The remote access unit can be deployed alongside other Corning Optical Network Evolution (ONE ) Solutions remotes (e.g.,
mid-power remote unit – MRU), sharing a common headend and element management system. Management and configuration
options are provided for each remote access unit service via a Web session to the headend control module (HCM).

Architecture
The remote access units distribute the wireless and Ethernet services received over the fiber-optic infrastructure from the
™
Corning optical network evolution (ONE ) solution headend.
The remote access units are service-specific modules supporting five SISO services that perform optical to RF conversion of
signals received from the optical interface unit (OIU) at the headend. Signals are automatically filtered, amplified and distributed
via external antennas. Uplink signals are then converted to optical signals before being transmitted back to the OIU.

Installation Guidelines
The following installation assumes that site survey and installation planning (including power requirements) have been
completed. This 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
Infrastructure Preparation
The following installation rules are based on the assumption that the site survey and installation planning (including power
requirements) have been completed as well as the floor plan determining the distribution of the remote access units on each
floor to provide the required coverage
3.2
Installation Location Requirements
• Mounting surface shall be capable of supporting the weight of the equipment.
• In order to avoid electromagnetic interference, a proper mounting location must be selected to minimize interference from
electromagnetic sources such as large electrical equipment.
• Working space available for installation and maintenance for each mounting arrangement.
• Ensure unrestricted airflow.
• Ensure grounding connector is within reach of the ground wire.
• Ensure a power source is within reach of the power cord and the power source has sufficient capacity.
• Where appropriate, ensure unused RF connectors are terminated.
• Do not locate the equipment near large transformers or motors that may cause electromagnetic interference.
• Reduce signal loss in feeder cable by minimizing the length and number of RF connections.

Power Requirements
This section summarizes the RAU5x power requirements.
Note: This section references RAU5x, however power requirements are the same for both RAU5 and RAU5x.
3.4.1
Power Safety Instructions
SAFETY WARNINGS! When installing or selecting the power supplies:
• Only use the power cables and any other relevant accessories provided with the unit to connect the power supply to the
system components.
• 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 over-current protective devices for the system according to the requirements described in section 1.2.2 Power .
3.4.2
Circuit Breakers
Calculate the required fuse protection while referring to section 1.2.2 - Power . Also, take into account when installing fuse
protections for the system that there may be other Corning system elements that require external fuse protection.
3.5
RF Coaxial Cable Guidelines
3.5.1
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.
3.5.2
RF Rules
• Use coax RG-223, 50 ohm, male-to-male N-type to QMA for RF connections from the RIMs to the BTS/RBS and to the
RAU5xs.
• 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 RAU5xs at the remote locations

3.5.3
Coax Cable Lengths and Losses
Use coax ½”, 50ohm, male-to-male QMA type, for connecting to RAU5x 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.

•
•
•
Fiber Optic Rules
Use only 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
Co rn in g O ptic a l Com m un icat io ns
Us e r Man u al I CMA -4 82 -AE N I P a g e 28
• 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.
• 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.

RAU5x/RxU Cavity Filter Installation
Note: This section references RAU5x, however connections are performed the same for RAU5 and RAU5x models. The same
applies to RxU2325 connections to RAU5/RAU5x.
The external cavity filters are required when the RF services modules supporting the corresponding CELL and LTE bands are
deployed alongside units supporting the public safety service.
• The RAU5x supports connections to external CELL and LTE Filters
• The RXU supports connections to an external LTE Filter.
• In cases where an LTE External Filter is required and the RAU5x includes the RxU module – both modules must be
connected to an external LTE filter.
Note the following:
• The cavity filter mounting bracket supports wall/ceiling/acoustic ceiling installations. See Figure 4-34.
Figure 4-34.Cavity Filter Dimensions and Mounting Holes
• Consider the length of the RF jumpers (3 m) and the distance from the RAU5x when determining the installation location.
• For acoustic ceiling installations – use provided safety cable to secure the filter assembly to a permanent structure within the
ceiling (e.g., acoustic ceiling grid or concrete ceiling above).
