Corning Optical Communications User Manual | CMA-586-AEN | Page 7 1 1INTRODUCTION GX products offer scalable, cost-effective 40 W (46 dBm) high-power remote outdoor coverage solutions for Corning distributed antenna systems (DAS). GX remotes compliment both the MA1000/MA2000 platform and the Corning® optical network evolution (ONE™) solution, sharing a common equipment headend and element management system (EMS) with the other system remotes. GX is a fiber-fed, dual-band, multioperator remote designed to complement lower power, standard remotes. GX can also be installed as a dedicated solution for new sites, providing complete RF coverage in large open indoor, tunnel, and adjacent outdoor spaces. Using low-loss fiber optic cabling, GX remote units can distribute multiple BTS signal sources for 2.3 GHz and 2.5 GHz TDD to multiple remote locations between 2 to 15 km from the headend to remotes. GX efficiently supports all operator modulations with linear MCPA (multicarrier power amplifier) up to 40 W. GX remotes offer high RF power coverage capabilities with compact design for added spaces savings and weather-resistant enclosures to fit various site needs.. GX Dual-Band Remote | Figure 1.1 1.1 Key Features and Capabilities Multi-frequency/multiservice RF transport platform: • Accommodates LTE technology • Two bands per enclosure Cost-effective high power Optimizes and reduces the number of antennas required to cover open outdoor areas by offering 46 dBm composite power per frequency band Operator-grade operation Advanced signal handling, RF filtering, and management ensures operator-grade performance SISO/MIMO support Model dependent units supporting either SISO or MIMO configurations Unique, space-saving, non-obtrusive design Blends into the environment and avoids costly tower builds outdoors when covering campus scenarios, parking lots, tunnels, and indoor-adjacent outdoor spaces Designed to withstand harsh environments Fully sealed remote unit (RU) enclosure ensures superior performance in harsh environments and worry-free electronics maintenance. Compliant to NEBS OSP Class 4 rated standard Management and control Alarm forward to NOC or standard EMS via SNMP, software-controlled output power, and optical link auto gain control
Corning Optical Communications User Manual | CMA-601-AEN | Page 8 1.2 System Description 1.2.1 GX Dual-Band with Corning® Optical Network Evolution (ONE™) Solution Figure 1.2 illustrates a scenario including the dual-band GX MIMO remote supporting the WCS and 2.5 GHz TDD bands and two quad-band GX remote units each supporting ESMR/CELL, PCS, 700 LTE, and EAWS deployed with the Corning® optical network evolution (ONE™) solution. The MIMO1 and MIMO2 RF signals, received from the BTS, are conditioned by the headend unit (HEU), ensuring a constant RF level. The conditioned MIMO1 and MIMO2 signals are then transferred via the interface box* (IFB) and routed through the optical central hub (OCH) † optical modules. For the TDD band, an integrated IF clock module (pilot), installed in the IFB enables transmitting the converged wideband RF/IF and pilot signals through the interface box to the OCH. The OCH converts the RF signal to an optical signal for transport over low-loss fiber cabling to/from multiple GX remotes, where they are converted to high-level RF signals. The GX includes an internal combiner so that both WCS and 2.5 GHz TDD bands services are transmitted via a single output port (SISO) or two for MIMO. An external low-loss combiner is used to combine the dual-band GX with the quad-band GX to support six bands services on a single output port. The GX remotes (and OCH) are managed and controlled via the headend control module (HCM) ‡ installed in the headend chassis, enabling local and remote management and providing single-source, centralized common headend controls of all installed elements. *Each interface box supports connections to up to two HEUs or integrated headend units (IHUs) via ERFCv2 cables. †RF connections between the interface box and the OCH are performed using QMA-to-QMA cables (accessory kit part number: AK-RIU4-OCH-CABLES). ‡In deployments with the ONE solution, GX remotes require an SC-450 interfacing between the OCH and HCM for management capabilities. Notes: • Only extended radio interface modules (RIMe) support GX-E17E85P19L70-40-AC and GX-E17E85P19L70-40-DC. See ordering information in this document for relevant part numbers. • The dual-band GX with WCS and 2.5 GHz TDD support is supported by SC-450 v7.6 and higher and ONE v3.3 and higher.

Corning Optical Communications User Manual | CMA-601-AEN | Page 10 1.2.2 GX Interface Box (IFB) to ONE Headend The IFB is a combiner/splitter interface box which supports connections to two HEUs, combines the RF services and routes them through optical central hub (OCH) modules towards the GX remotes. The IFB includes an integrated intermediate frequency (IF) clock module for generating a 2970 MHz pilot signal required for synchronizing the TDD band. The IFB enables deploying a GX high-power WCS/2.5 GHz TDD (dual-band) remote alongside a GX quad-band remote where it supports connections to two OCH optical modules per service group (i.e., three OCH-8 or six OCH-4 units). Block Diagram of IFB System Description | Figure 1.31.2.3 GX Deployed with MA1K/MA2K Platform Figure 1.4 illustrates a GX dual-band remote MIMO scenario deployed with an MA1000/2000 headend alongside two GX quad-band remotes providing MIMO coverage for the CELL/ESMR, PCS, EAWS, and 700 LTE bands.. Note: GX quad-band models GX-E17E85P19L70-40-AC and GX-E17E85P19L70-40-DC do not support coexistence with other GX models. The quad-band services must be routed through separate RF paths (i.e., different RIU-12 sector and optical module). The MIMO1 and MIMO2 services are conditioned via two independent sectors in the RIU-12 units, ensuring a constant RF level for each MIMO stream. The conditioned MIMO1 and MIMO2 signals are routed through separate optical modules in the OCH. Each optical module converts the RF signal to an optical signal for transport over low-loss fiber cabling to/from connected GX remote, where they are converted to high-level RF signals. The GX dual-band remote includes an internal combiner so that both WCS and 2.5 GHz TDD bands services are transmitted via a single output port (SISO) or two for MIMO. In addition, an external low-loss combiner is used to combine the dual-band GX with the quad-band GX to support six bands services on a single output port.

Corning Optical Communications User Manual | CMA-601-AEN | Page 12 1.3 System Monitoring and Management The GX dual-band remote unit is centrally managed via the SC-450 (v7.5 and higher) in MA1K/MA2K solutions and via the headend control module (HCM v3.2 and higher) when deployed with Corning® optical network evolution (ONE™) solutions*. *In Corning optical network evolution (ONE) solution deployments, the SC-450 is also required for the GX management. The GX remote management connection is performed via the optical central hub (OCH) to which it is physically connected. The OCH is connected directly to the SC-450 controller so that a single management connection enables management and monitoring capabilities for the GX and host OCH. Figure 1.5 and Figure 1.6 show examples of GX management screens in the SC-450 and HCM management web GUI applications. Example of GX Dual-Band SC-450 Configuration Tab | Figure 1.5

Corning Optical Communications User Manual | CMA-601-AEN | Page 17 2 2INSTALLATION GUIDELINES This chapter provides the general guidelines for installing the GX dual-band remote and includes information such as site considerations and installation requirements. 2.1 Site Considerations • The distance between the GX service antenna and the coverage area should correspond to line of sight (LOS) requirements for maximum coverage area. • The maximum fiber path loss is 6 dB. • The system delay of the optical system must be taken into consideration when there are neighboring BTS sites overlapping in coverage. • In the MIMO scenario, one MIMO remote unit shall use two pairs of optic fiber to ensure avoiding system delay. 2.1.1 Installation Location 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. 2.1.2 Environmental Humidity has an adverse effect on the reliability of the equipment. It is recommended to install the equipment in locations having stable temperature and unrestricted airflow. The installation location for the system should be well ventilated. The equipment has been designed to operate at the temperature range and humidity level as stated in the product specifications at temperatures ranging from -40~70 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity of maximum 95 percent. 2.1.3 Powering • The power supply unit provides power to all modules within the equipment. Depending on the product variant, it is recommended that the PSU operates on a dedicated AC circuit breaker or fused circuit. • Pluggable equipment — the socket outlet should be installed near the equipment and be accessible 2.1.4 Grounding Requirement Verify that the equipment has been well grounded. This includes GX dual-band unit, external combiner, antennas, and all cables connected to the system. For GX grounding, use provided copper wire grounding cable. Ensure lightning protection for the antennas is properly grounded. 2.1.5 Cable Routing Ensure all cables, e.g., power cable, feeder cable, optic fiber, commissioning cable, connecting are properly routed (use drip loops) and secured so that they are not damaged. 2.1.6 Manual Handling During transportation and installation, take necessary handling precautions to avoid potential physical injury to the installation personnel and the equipment. 2.2 Installation Requirements • 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.
Corning Optical Communications User Manual | CMA-601-AEN | Page 18 • 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. • Ensure the equipment will be operated within the stated environment (refer to datasheet). • Where appropriate, confirm availability of suitably terminated grade of RF and optical fiber. • Observe handling of all cables to prevent damage. 2.3 Fiber Optic Rules ATTENTION! • Please also refer to the laser safety section in the document preface material. • Fiber optic cables require proper handling. Do not stretch, puncture, or crush the fiber cable(s) with staples, heavy equipment, doors, etc. • Always maintain the minimum bend-radius specified by the cable manufacturer. The minimum bend radius is usually ten times the cable's outer diameter. In the case of single optical fiber that is not in a cable, the minimum bending radius to be observed is 30 mm. • Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) units require single-mode fiber. • Use minimum splicing/connectors to achieve minimum losses on the fibers. • Use precaution while installing, bending, or connecting fiber optic cables. • Use an optical power meter and optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) for checking the fiber optic cables. • Make sure the environment is clean while connecting/splicing fiber optic cables. • All fiber optic connections should be cleaned prior to attaching to termination points using a dry cleaning device (e.g., Cletop or equivalent). • Fiber connector protective caps should be installed on all non-terminated fibers and removed just before they are terminated. • Check the fiber optic connections.
Corning Optical Communications User Manual | CMA-601-AEN | Page 19 3 3SYSTEM INSTALLATION This chapter describes the installation procedure for the GX dual-band remote unit. 3.1 Selecting GX Dual-Band Mounting Location Select the mounting location (wall/pole): • General surroundings • Ventilated and easy-to-reach area • Proximity to the antenna in order to minimize cable loss For installations with GX external multiplexer — take into consideration that the unit must be mounted adjacent to the GX RF interfaces to facilitate the connections (DIN-DIN cables = 1.2 m). 3.2 Unpacking and Inspection Unpack and inspect the cartons as follows: 1. Open the shipping carton and carefully unpack each unit from the protective packing material. 2.
