1 Introduction
HX is a mid-power, remote solution for the MA1000 and MA2000 distributed antenna systems (DAS). It is a fiber fed,
compact and scalable multi-service platform designed to complement the MA1000 and MA2000 while providing complete
RF open space coverage for large-scale public venues such as campuses, stadiums, convention centers, hotels, airports
and train stations. The solution can be deployed in new sites or alongside existing lower power MA1000 and MA2000
systems, sharing a common headend and element management system (SC-450).
HX supports multiple wireless technologies and operator services over a single broadband infrastructure. Using low-loss
fiber optic cabling, remote units can cover distances of up to 2 km from the BTS signal sources at the headend.
Alongside other HX products (e.g. HX WCS, HX 2500 MHz TDD) and MA1000 and MA2000 deployments, HX provides a
comprehensive indoor and outdoor coverage solution for varying site requirements, supporting everything from high-rise
buildings and campus topologies to stadiums and airports.
In addition, the HX remote can be combined with an MA2000 lower power remote or HX remote supporting the HX 800
MHz ESMR band to create an HX Neutral Host Solution. The NH solution addresses the need for complete multiservice
coverage while meeting RSSI requirements for different cellular technologies.
Note: Refer to the HX Neutral Host Solution Application Note for details on combining HX Quad-Band solution with Sprint’s
800 MHz Band (CMA-238-AEN).
HX Indoor Model (LT) and HX Outdoor Model (RT) Figure 1-1

1.1 Features and Capabilities
• Multi-Service Platform: Accommodates GSM, UMTS, HSPA, LTE, EDGE, EV-DO, AWS3, and more. Provides MIMO
configuration for LTE700, AWS3, and UMTS band.
• Cost-Effective High Power: Optimizes and reduces the number of antennas required to cover open areas by offering up
to 33 dBm (2 W) composite power per frequency band.
• Indoor Models: Support either SISO or MIMO (excluding HX-5 units) service in a single compact enclosure.
• Outdoor Models: Outdoor enclosures are compliant to NEBS OSP Class 4 standards.
• Operator-Grade Operation: Advanced signal handling and management ensures carrier-grade performance in multi-
operator deployments.
• Design and Deployment Flexibility: Remote unit supports SM fiber connections, and is available in AC or DC power
supply options. Antenna splitting schemes are possible due to the higher power output capability.
• Backwards Compatible: Connects to an existing MA1000/MA2000 deployment and shares a common headend and
element management system (EMS) in a single deployment.
Corning Optical Communications User Manual I CMA-066-AEN I Page 12
1.2 System Architecture
HX mid-power remote unit compliments the MA1000 or MA2000 system, providing a complete solution consisting of HX
remote units at the remote locations and headend elements that are shared with any other MA1000 or MA2000 system
remotes that are either installed or being installed at the site. HX4/HX5 units can be optically daisy chained to other HX
units supporting different bands (e.g. WCS and 2500 MHz TDD) for further band coverage needs.
In the downlink, at the headend, the BTS or BDA signal is conditioned by the RIU, ensuring a constant RF level. The
conditioned signal is then converted by an optical converter unit (i.e. base unit) to an optical signal to transport over single-
mode fiber to the HX remote units, which are located at the remote locations. In the uplink, the process is reversed.
The system controller (SC-450) enables local and remote management, as well as controls all MA1000, MA2000 and HX
elements from a single, centralized location.
The HX remote unit consists of a compact enclosure that houses the RF module, power elements and the required
interfaces. The RF module supports various configurations of three (International models), four and five bands.
Note: HX-5 units are SISO only.
All mobile services are combined and distributed through a single antenna port over antennas installed at the remote
locations.

Example of Indoor MIMO Architecture with HX Quad-Band Figure 1-3
Corning Optical Communications User Manual I CMA-066-AEN I Page 14
1.2.1 HX Neutral Host Solution
Corning HX Neutral Host solution addresses the need for a high-output multi-operator distributed antenna solution (DAS)
that provides complete multiservice coverage and meets RSSI requirements for different cellular technologies. The HX
neutral host solution provides a complete suite of solutions to combine 850 CELL, 1900 PCS, 700 LTE and 2100 AWS
services of the HX product with 800 MHz ESMR band.
HX neutral host extends the multiband support of the HX to 800 MHz ESMR band by providing solutions to combine the
corresponding Corning MA2K system, supporting the 800 MHz ESMR band or HX supporting the 800 MHz ESMR band to
create the HX NH solution.
Note: The 800 MHz ESMR band is a low frequency band so that it also meets the RSSI requirements despite lower output
power.

Dedicated HX NH SISO Scenario Configuration with HX Quad and HX-5 SISO Units Figure 1-5
1.3 Application Topologies
HX can be installed in various site topologies. The setup procedure varies accordingly:
• High-power coverage via a single antenna - used for open area, stadium, parking lots, etc.
• RF signal is distributed over several antennas via splitters
• Special coverage requirements using directional antennas
Corning Optical Communications User Manual I CMA-066-AEN I Page 16
1.4 System Monitoring and Management
The HX Remote Unit is centrally managed via the SC-450 Controller. Note that HX is not connected directly to the
controller. It is connected to the optical converter (i.e. BU or OCH-HX), connected to the controller. Thus, the controller
monitors views and manages the HX via the optical converter module to which the HX is connected.
The following shows the Config(uration) tabs of the selected HX unit. Refer to the SC-450 Controller User Manual for
information on how to configure and manage the HX (Indoor/Outdoor) unit.

2 Installation Guidelines
This chapter describes the installation procedure for the HX Indoor (SISO/MIMO) and Outdoor Remote Units. The
installation procedure differs according to the type of enclosure.
2.1 Site Considerations
• The distance between the HX service antenna and the coverage area should correspond to LOS (Line of Sight)
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.
2.2 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 with a relative humidity of max. 90% (Indoor
models) and temperatures ranging as follows:
Indoor Models: 0 to 50oC (-4° to 185°F)
Outdoor Models: -30° to +65°C (-22° to 149°F)
2.3 Installation 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.
• 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.
Corning Optical Communications User Manual I CMA-066-AEN I Page 23
2.4 Fiber Optic Requirements
2.4.1 Authorized Optic Cables
• Only single mode fiber can be used with HX Indoor/Outdoor products,
• All fiber in a given length of fiber must be of the same core diameter.
For HX Indoor models:
• All Bulkhead adapters must be either Single SC APC (Green) adapters.
• All terminations, cross connections or patches must be direct fusion splice or Corning specified patch cords listed
below.

Corning Optical Communications User Manual I CMA-066-AEN I Page 24
2.4.2 Fiber Optic Rules
ATTENTION!
Please also refer to the Laser Safety section in the document Preface.
• 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
10 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.
• WDM, Wave Division Multiplexing, units require SMF
• For HX Indoor models - use SC APC connectors (green color) 8 deg only.
• For HX Outdoor models – use OptiTap® connector
• Pay special attention while connecting the SC APC connectors - ensure that you hear a “click”, indicating a secure
connection
• 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 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.
• Check the fiber optic connections.
• 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.
2.5 RF Coaxial Cable Guidelines
2.5.1 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 may
need to 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.
Corning Optical Communications User Manual I CMA-066-AEN I Page 25
2.5.2 RF Rules
• Use coax RG-223, 50 ohm, for RF connections between HX Indoor/Outdoor units and DAS antennas.
• 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 wideband antennas supporting a range of 700 MHz to 2600 MHz
• Terminate all unused HX 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
prior to terminating the HX RF ports in the remote communication rooms.
2.5.3 Coax Cable Lengths and Losses
Use the compatible jumper to connect the coax connector to the external antenna.
Note: The required distance between the antennas (installed in the ceiling) depends on the infrastructure and calculated
path-loss.

2.5.4 Cable Routing
Ensure all cables, e.g. power cable, feeder cable, optic fiber, commissioning cable, connecting are properly routed and
secured so that they are not damaged.
2.6 Antenna Specifications and Guidelines
Determine the antenna installation configuration, according to the transmission and coverage requirements and the
installation site conditions.
2.6.1 Authorized Antennas and Couplers
• External antennas - No limitation on any vendor of available external antennas with respect to the following
requirements:
• Omni Directional or Directional
• Supported frequency range: wideband antennas supporting a range of 700 MHz to 2600 MHz
• Gain: up to 12.5 dBi
• Impedance: 50 Ohm
• Types of couplers/splitters – depends on number of splits
• Couplers – Use N-Male to N-Female broadband coupler separately ordered from Corning (P/N AK-1COUPLER-NM-
NF) or the equivalent:
• Broadband frequency: 698 – 2700 MHz
• -40 dB coupling (QMA coupling port)
• Max. VSWR/Return Loss (dB): 1.15:1/-23.0
• Max. Insertion Loss (dB): 0.2
• Impedance: 50 ohms
2.6.2 General Antenna Installation Guidelines
• The wideband antenna should be installed at a convenient location, free of metallic obstruction (can also be installed in
plenum spaces).
• Install the connected antenna at the designated height and tune it roughly toward the Service coverage area.
• Each individual antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide the separation distance as specified in the
FCC grant from all persons during normal operation and must not be co-located with any other antenna for meeting RF
exposure requirements
2.7 Grounding Requirement
Verify that the equipment has been well grounded (refer to the grounding lug on the bottom port panel of the HX Outdoor or
on the rear panel of the HX Indoor). This includes antennas and all cables connected to the system. Ensure lightning
protection for the antennas is properly grounded. Also, see sections 3.3.2 (HX Indoor) and 4.6.2 (HX Outdoor).
2.8 Manual Handling
During transportation and installation, take necessary handling precautions to avoid potential physical injury to the
installation personnel and the equipment.

on them.
Note the following:
• Provided pole mounting accessories are designed for the pole radius thickness range, Ø63 – Ø95 mm
• The pole mount installation requires the following provided items (see section 4.2):
• (4) Pole clamps
• (8) Washer, Flat, 3/8"
• (8) Nut, 3/8, DIN 934 -3/8 UNC
• (8) Washer, Spring, 3/8"
• (8) Screw, Hex Cap, 3/8 x6", Head
To pole-mount the HX Outdoor Unit
1. Select the appropriate location according to the following criteria:
• Accessibility
• Antenna location and distance
2. Position and hold an outer top bracket on the pole.
3. Insert supplied spring washer and screw-hex-cap (four per bracket) momentarily support it with your hands.
4. Fit the screws through the inner clamp and secure loosely so that the distance between the clamps is adjustable.
Corning Optical Communications User Manual I CMA-066-AEN I Page 46
5. Lift the HX Unit and fit the clamp bolts into the four middle holes of each bracket, as shown in Figure 4-7:
• Top pole clamp bolts into top middle HX bracket holes
• Bottom pole clamp bolts into bottom middle HX bracket holes
Note: Brush ring (see Figure
4-7) is intended for the purpose of lifting the HX unit. However, it can also be used for
additional safety measure such as hanging the HX unit via the brush ring using a steel cable of sufficient strength and
tying it to an iron bar of enough strength.

4.6 Connections
The HX Outdoor connections are performed from the underside of the HX unit after it has been mounted. The main
connections include the RF, fiber and power connections. These connectors are waterproof and are protected by covers
when not connected. Remove the connector waterproof covers when connecting cables.
4.6.1 RF and Fiber Connections
To connect the RF and fiber cables
1. Connect the RF antenna coax cable to the HX ANTENNA port.
2. Connect the (Corning OptiTap®) fiber cable to the HX F/O UPLINK and F/O DOWNLINK OptiTap® connectors as
follows:
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.
• Downlink: Connect the fiber optic cable from splice box, leading from the OCH port, to the corresponding F/O
DOWNLINK OptiTap®.
• Uplink: Connect the fiber optic cable from splice box, leading from the HX F/O UPLINK OptiTap® port, to the uplink
port leading to the OCH.
Note: Keep in mind the rules for handling and connecting F/O cables. The F/O cables will be connected to the
associated OCH in the communication room at a later phase.

4.6.2 Ground Connection
The grounding connection is performed via a two hole, standard barrel grounding lug (LCD10-14A-L Panduit) located on the
HX connectors’ panel (see Figure 4-10):
• For use with stranded copper conductors
• 10-14 AWG
• Holes - ¼ inch
