Corning Optical Communications User Manual I CMA-336-AEN I Page 9 1 Introduction GX quad-band remote (“GX”) offers a cost-effective 40 W (46 dBm) high power remote outdoor coverage solution for MA2000 distributed antenna systems (DAS). GX is a fiber-fed, multi-frequency, multi-operator remote designed to complement the MA2000 lower power, standard remotes. GX can also be installed as a dedicated solution for new sites, providing complete RF coverage options for open indoor, tunnel and adjacent outdoor spaces. Using low loss fiber optic cabling, GX quad-band remotes can distribute multiple BTS signal sources for LTE700/CELL/ESMR/PCS1900/EAWS2100 to multiple remote locations from 2 to 15 km from the headend to remotes. GX efficiently supports all operator modulations with linear multi-carrier power amplifier (MCPA) up to 40 W. GX remotes share a common equipment head end and element management system (EMS) with other remotes on the MA1K/MA2K platform. GX offer high RF power coverage capabilities with compact design for added spaces savings and weather resistant enclosures to fit various site needs. Figure 1-1. GX Quad-Band Remote Unit

Corning Optical Communications User Manual I CMA-336-AEN I Page 11 1.1 System Architecture GX provides a complete solution consisting of GX-Quad remote units at the remote locations, and head end elements, which are shared with any existing or new MA1000/MA2000 deployment. GX consists of a uniquely designed, non-obtrusive unit that includes all of the required RF, fiber optic and power interfaces. All mobile services are distributed through service/band dedicated RF connection ports over antennas installed at the remote locations. IMPORTANT! GX quad-band models GX-E17E85P19L70-40-AC and GX-E17E85P19L70-40-DC do not support coexistence with other GX models. These must be connected to a different RIU or different sector (for RIU-12) and to a different optical module of the OCH. Connecting these GX models to the same RF paths as other GXs may result in a VSWR alarm. 1.1.1 SISO Scenario Figure 1-2 illustrates a scenario including one GX quad-band remote and one GX tri-band remote. Note that all site elements are managed and controlled via a single SC-450 controller (software version 5.4 and higher) that enables local and remote management, and provides single-source, centralized common headend controls of all installed elements. For the GX path, at the headend, the BTS or BDA signal is conditioned by the RIU, ensuring a constant RF level. The conditioned RF electrical signal is then converted by the optical central hub (OCH) to an optical signal for transport to/from multiple GX remotes, over low-loss fiber cabling. *In installations including a GX supporting the CELL band and a GX supporting the Sprint800 band, the CELL and Sprint service signals must be conditioned via two independent sectors in the RIU-12 (i.e., SectorA and SectorB in Figure 2) and routed through dedicated optical modules in the OCH. Note the following:  Installations with RIU-4 units require a dedicated RIU-4 per GX model  Either an OCH-4 unit per GX or an OCH-8 (supporting two separate optical modules) is used **External Combiner Insertion Loss of 1.0 dB Figure 1-2. GX SISO Architecture
Corning Optical Communications User Manual I CMA-336-AEN I Page 12 1.1.2 MIMO Scenario Figure 1-3 illustrates a MIMO scenario supported by two GX Quad-Band units. In MIMO installations each MIMO stream is supported by a single GX unit. The MIMO1 and MIMO2 services are conditioned via two independent sectors in the RIU-12 (i.e., SectorA and SectorB) and routed through separate optical modules in the OCH. Note the following:  Installations with RIU-4 units require a dedicated RIU-4 per GX model  Either an OCH-8 (supporting two separate optical modules) or an OCH-4 unit per GX is used *Eternal Combiner Insertion Loss of 1.0 dB Figure 1-3. GX MIMO System Architecture
Corning Optical Communications User Manual I CMA-336-AEN I Page 13 1.1.3 Signal Path In the downlink path, combined RF signals (from up to four supported services) from the radio interface unit (RIU) are converted into optical signals by the OCH. The optical signals are then transmitted to the GX at the remote site via optical fiber. The signals are filtered and amplified at the GX and transmitted through the service specific output ports to the broadband antennas. In the uplink path, GX converts the RF signals transmitted from the service antennas into optical signals. The signals are transmitted via optical fiber to the OCH which then converts the optical signals back to RF signals. The optical DL and UL signal are transmitted in a single optical fiber based on the wavelength division technology (WDM). Figure 1-4. GX Functional Block Diagram
Corning Optical Communications User Manual I CMA-336-AEN I Page 14 1.2 System Monitoring and Management The GX-Quad Remote Unit is centrally managed via the MobileAccess SC-450 Controller. Note: The GX Quad-band solution is supported by SC-450 v5.4 and higher. The GX remote is not connected directly to the controller; it is connected to the OCH-GX element (that is connected to the controller). Thus, the controller monitors views and manages the GX via the OCH-GX, hosting the GX unit. The following shows the Configuration tab of the selected GX unit. The system configuration and management is described in the SC-450 user manual (v5.4 and higher). Note: The EAWS band is supported from software version 7.4 and higher. Figure 1-5. Example of GX Quad-Band Remote Configuration Tab (software v7.4)
Corning Optical Communications User Manual I CMA-336-AEN I Page 15 1.3 GX Quad-Band Remote Interfaces All of the GX interfaces (except for the power connector) are located externally on the underside of the unit (facing down when unit is mounted). The unit interfaces include the RF, power, optical link and external alarms connections. The power connector is located in a separate side panel. Figure 1-6. Example of GX Quad-Band Remote (AC) Interfaces – Side Panel (Left) and Underside (Right) Table 1-1 and Table 1-2 provide descriptions of the GX-Quad connectors and LEDs. Interface Description Service Connectors Service specific RF DIN female connectors to antennas (or external combiner) OP Corning OptiTap™ fiber-optic waterproof connector – connects to OCH-GX-XR using Corning OptiTap to SC APC cable (ordered separately). IMPORTANT! OptiTap™ pullout force ranges from a few lbs to 50+ lbs with the dust cap or connector installed. This prevents damages caused to the DAS unit. Power Connector (side panel) Power feed option is model dependent:  Local power feed (AC) option: 100-240 V AC; 47-63 Hz;  Remote power feed (DC) option: 40-57 V DC ; Max 37.5A Maximum power consumption: Refer to Appendix A for detailed power specifications LAN RJ-45 connector for local connection (i.e., debugging, troubleshooting) EXT_ALM External Alarm pin-out connectors supporting four external alarm connections SYS_ALM Pin-out connector supporting up to three relay alarms used for connecting the GX-QUAD to a network or modem and relaying the status of the GX alarms 1900MHz CPL -50 dB Coupler port 1900 MHz 50 dB coupling

Corning Optical Communications User Manual I CMA-336-AEN I Page 17 1.4 External Multiplexer (optional) Note: The external combiner is optional and ordered separately (P/N: AK-GX-ECPL-COMB). The 4x1 external multiplexer filters and combines the service specific RF signals received from the GX and transmits the converged input signals through a single output port to the broadband service antenna. The multiplexer includes the following interfaces:  Four service specific RF input connectors (one is unused and should be terminated using the DIN terminator) – used for connecting to the GX service specific RF connectors  One output connector – interfaces to the broadband DAS antenna  One grounding lug  One QMA coupler port – enables users/field engineers to measure and read signals without interrupting service due to service cable disconnections. The QMA coupling port serves as the coupling measurement port for reading the signal without affecting services on the main stream. Figure 1-7. GX External Combiner
Corning Optical Communications User Manual I CMA-336-AEN I Page 18 2 Installation Guidelines This chapter provides the general guidelines for installing the GX Quad-band Remote Unit 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, two remote units shall use a pair of optic fiber for each one. This ensures to avoid the system delay difference between two units. 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 air-flow. 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 -40~70oC and a relative humidity of maximum 95%. 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. 2.1.4 Grounding Requirement Verify that the equipment has been well grounded. This includes GX Quad-band unit, external combiner, antennas and all cables connected to the system. 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.
Corning Optical Communications User Manual I CMA-336-AEN I Page 19 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.  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 available 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 bending 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.  Wave 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 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 (i.e., 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.
