Product Overview
Fiber-Span provides product to enable RF signal to be distributed via optical fiber
cable. RF signal sources can be used from over the air (OTA) from a Radio Base
Station (BS), OTA from handheld devices, or directly from a BS radio. RF signals
are converted to modulated light for transport through optical fiber media to remote
locations. Modulated light is converted back to the original RF signal where it is
processed through filtering and amplification to allow the RF signal to be re-radiated
in the remote location. In a bi-directional RF system, the process is the same
resulting in remote RF signals that are sent back simultaneously.
Fiber-Span product functionality
OTA system - RF signals from a remote base station are interchanged usually from
a roof top antenna that is connected to an Integrated Head-end Unit (IHU). The IHU
receives downlink signals from the base station and sends uplink signals back to the
base station. The IHU distributes signals via fiber optics to remote location and also
is capable of simultaneously interfacing with a Distributed Antenna System (DAS)
for short range RF distribution.

Figure 2. Typical OTA Optical RF distribution System
Local Base Station System – Signals from a local base station interface to optical
distribution equipment through Base Station Units (BSU), or directly to a Fiber
Transceiver Unit (FTU). The BSU sometimes interfaces the Base Station to the
FTU. The BSU is used to passively condition RF levels or serve as RF filters when
applicable.
The FTU performs bi-directional optical-RF conversions. Optical
signals are sent to the Remote Repeater Unit (RRU). The RRU is designed for use
as a remote end of a bi-directional RF distribution system. The RRU RF port works
with a direct connected RF antenna or to a Distributed Antenna System (DAS).
The RRU is connected via optical fibers to a Fiber Transceiver Unit (FTU) to
complete a point to point RF link.

RF Path Definitions
The RF paths are defined as follows:
Downlink – Originates at the FTU or and IHU, over fiber to the RRU to the RF Port.
The Downlink generally is defined by the RF output power the RRU can deliver.
Uplink – Originates at the RRU, over the fiber to the FTU or IHU to the RF Out Port.
The Uplink is generally defined by RF input sensitivity.
6.1
Installation Guide
General
All unused RF Terminals must be terminated with a 50 Ohm load. All unused Optical
Terminals must be protected using dust cover cap. When installing fiber optic cables,
remove dust covers, clean optical connector with optical grade alcohol, align FC/APC
connector KEY and hand tighten. Do not over tighten. Keep fiber bend radiuses
greater than 1.5 inches.
6.2
Fiber Transceiver Unit (FTU)
The Fiber Transceiver Unit (FTU) is a 19” standard 1U sub-rack. The FTU requires
AC Power (90 to 220 VAC, 50-60 Hz). The AC interface is a standard IEC Power
socket. A US 120V AC Line Cord is supplied with each FTU.
Mount Fiber Transceiver Unit away from excessive heat sources. Make all RF
connections and terminate all unused RF connections before applying AC Power.
User interface information can be found in attached outline drawing.

Alarms
The Opt in Alarm interface uses a wire contact header (supplied) that will plug into
the Opt in Alarm sockets. Connection of alarm wires to the wire contact header
requires a small standard flathead screwdriver. The connections are dry contact relay
terminals. The alarm LED’s on the front panel indicate alarm conditions for each
individual uplink optical receiver and downlink optical transmitter. An optional
Summary alarm is available.
A receiver alarm is triggered by excessive optical loss. The transmitter alarm is
triggered when the laser transmitter runs over bias. Normal operation leaves the
contacts normally open (NO). In the event of an alarm condition, the corresponding
contacts close.
RF Levels
For the uplink, each receiver has a gain control that is accessed using a small
standard screwdriver on the FTU rear.
For Uplink, disconnect the downlink optical fiber on the FTU side to ensure that there
is no RF output at the RRU RF port. Turn down the gain on ALL FTU receivers (if
FTU is more than a 1-Way) using gain control by turning CCW at least 12 turns. On
the RRU side, connect a RF tone generator set to an RF level of -50 dBm at the
center of the uplink frequency. On the FTU, set RF output to the desired level at the
FTU RF output by adjusting corresponding FTU receiver gain control. Repeat for
other Uplinks individually if applicable and leave gain settings of previous calibrated
uplinks unchanged. The goal is to balance the uplink gains to be all equal.
For downlink, provide composite RF level into FTU transceiver at 0 dBm.
All unused RF Terminals must be terminated with a 50 Ohm load. All unused Optical
Terminals must be protected using dust cover cap. When installing fiber optic cables,
remove dust covers, clean optical connector with optical grade alcohol, align FC/APC
connector KEY and hand tighten. Do not over tighten. Keep fiber bend radiuses
greater than 1.5 inches.
6.3
Remote Repeater Unit (RRU) and Integrated Head-end Unit (IHU)
The RRU/IHU requires AC Power (90 to 220 VAC, 50-60 Hz). Connect RRU to earth
ground using Earth Ground Lug on the external side of RRU. If the unit is a wall
mount type, use the dimensional information provided with the Outline Drawing
(example attached). Mount on a sturdy location keeping clear vent holes and heatsink. If the unit is a rack mount type, mount the unit to allow air passage from front to
back. Space the units to allow convection air flow. If the unit is mounted inside a
larger enclosure, air ventilation must be used to keep the RRU in proper temperature

range. Make all RF connections and terminate all unused RF connections before
applying AC Power.

Figure 9. RRU/IHU (Rack Mount Version)
Alarms
The alarm interface uses a circular connector. The connections are dry contact relay
terminals. The alarm LED’s on the Control Board indicate the alarm conditions for
each individual parameter as:
Downlink Optical Receiver
Uplink Optical Transmitter
PA Alarm
Door Alarm (Wall Mount) / Fan Alarm (Rack Mount)
Page 8 of 13
Rev 01 5-DEC-06
Fiber Optic RF Repeater System
See LED alarm indicator locations in Figure 10.
A receiver alarm is triggered by excessive optical loss. The transmitter alarm is
triggered when the laser transmitter runs over bias. The PA alarm indicates that the
PA is overdriven. The Door / Fan alarm indicates when the door is left open or if a
cooling fan fails. The alarm output is summarized which makes one set of contacts
available on the circular alarm connector. Normal operation leaves the contacts
normally open (NO). In the event of an alarm condition, the corresponding contacts
close.
RF Levels
The Downlink Output level is factory set to meet the RF maximum output level that is
compatible with FCC requirements. The uplink Gain level is factory set to optimize
noise levels for the optical system. RF output levels and gain levels are adjustable
using in-line RF pads. The important In-Line Pad Locations are:

IHU RF Levels
The IHU downlink has a high gain to boost weak received signals to levels to drive
the optical components. Do not allow a composite RF level greater than 0 dBm into
the optical transceiver. See the IHU rear RF INPUT MAX information. Uplink power
settings can be done as the RRU instructions.
RRU RF power Considerations
The RRU is available with many RF power outputs. For each product, there are
considerations for pad power dissipation. Product power levels are the Output P1 dB

•
Verify all RF cables are connected and all unused RF connections terminated with
50 Ohm terminations.
•
Verify all Alarm and AC connections are properly made
•
Connect fiber optic cables.
•
Apply AC power to system components.
Caution
RRU has internal AC power connections that can cause shock if operator is not
careful. Always verify the AC Power area is clear of all objects. Do not leave
objects inside the RRU that can cause dangerous shock hazard.
Maintenance
This Fiber Optic repeater system does not require scheduled maintenance.
However, use precautions while installing optical fibers to keep connector surfaces
clean. An unclean optical connector surface can damage the internal transceiver
connector which can degrade system performance and violate Fiber-Span warranty.
Keep heat dissipating surfaces or vents clean and clear.
