radius of the super-flexible 1/2'' jumper must be more than 50 mm (1.97 in.), and the bending
radius of the ordinary 1/2'' jumper must be more than 127 mm (5 in.).
lThe bending radius of the power cable or PGND cable must be at least three times the
diameter of the cable.
lThe bending radius of a fiber optic cable is at least 20 times the diameter of the fiber optic
cable, and the minimum bending radius of the breakout cable at each end of the fiber optic
cable is 30 mm (1.18 in.).
lThe bending radius of the E1/T1 cable must be at least three times the diameter of the cable.
lThe bending radius of the signal cable must be at least five times the diameter of the cable.
Requirements for Cable Binding
lThe same types of cable must be bound together.
lDifferent types of cable must be separately routed with the minimum spacing of 30 mm
(1.18 in.) and cannot be entangled.
lThe cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be damaged.
lCable ties are installed in the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must be
in a straight line.
lThe excess of indoor cable ties is trimmed off, and the excess of outdoor cable ties allows
about 5 mm (0.2 in.), without remaining rough edges.
lLabels or nameplates must be attached to both ends, joints, or turns of cables after they are
installed.
Security Requirements
lCables should be placed away from sharp objects or wall burrs. If these positions are
inevitable, protect the cables with protection pipes.
lCables must be routed away from heat sources, or heat-insulation materials are added
between cables and heat sources.
lSufficient slack (recommended for about 0.1 m [0.33 ft]) is provided in cables at turns or

do not lead the pipe into the cabinet base. The cable trough must be sealed and routed
through the cable hole at the cabinet bottom.
lWhen routing RRU cables, ensure that the highest positions of the routes of all RRU cables
(except RF cables and AISG cables) must be lower than the bottom of the RRU.
lCables are secured with cable clips.
lCables are routed neatly along the specified cabling direction and secured with cable clips.
lThe positions for cable clips are determined onsite. For example, the cable clips for the
7/8" feeder are installed at the spacing of 1.5 m (4.92 ft) to 2 m (6.56 ft) in the same direction,
and the cable clips for the power cables are installed at the spacing of 1.5 m (4.92 ft) to 2
m (6.56 ft) in the same direction.
lCable clips must be vertical with cables, and the cables in a cable clip must be parallel.
