7 Installing RRU Cables
7.1 Cabling Requirements
Cables must be routed according to the specified cabling requirements to prevent signal
interference.
NOTE
If a cable listed below is not required, skip the routing requirements of the cable.
General Cabling Requirements
Requirements for Bending Radius
The bending radius of the 7/8'' feeder must be more than 250 mm (9.84 in.), and the bending
radius of the 5/4'' feeder must be more than 380 mm (14.96 in.).
The bending radius of the 1/4'' jumper must be more than 35 mm (1.38 in.). The bending
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.).
The bending radius of the power cable or PGND cable must be at least three times the
diameter of the cable.
The 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.).
The bending radius of the E1/T1 cable must be at least three times the diameter of the cable.
The bending radius of the signal cable must be at least five times the diameter of the cable.
Requirements for Cable Binding
The same types of cable must be bound together.
Different types of cable must be separately routed with the minimum spacing of 30 mm
(1.18 in.) and cannot be entangled.
The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be damaged.
Cable ties are installed in the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must be
in a straight line.
The 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.
Labels or nameplates must be attached to both ends, joints, or turns of cables after they are
installed.
Security Requirements
Cables should be placed away from sharp objects or wall burrs. If these positions are
inevitable, protect the cables with protection pipes.
Cables must be routed away from heat sources, or heat-insulation materials are added
between cables and heat sources.
Sufficient slack (recommended for about 0.1 m [0.33 ft]) is provided in cables at turns or
the position close to a device, facilitating cable and device maintenance.
Indoor Cabling Requirements
Cables are routed indoors through the feeder window.

RRU3269
Installation Guide
7 Installing RRU Cables
Drip loops must be made outside the feeder window, and the requirements for the minimum
bending radius are met.
When cables are routed indoors, engineers are required indoors for cooperation.
The feeder window must be waterproofed.
Outdoor Cabling Requirements
Cables routed outdoors must be led through a pipe when they may be damaged.
AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables buried in the ground must be protected.
If cables at the cabinet bottom need to be routed through a pipe along the ground, lead the
pipe into the cabinet base for about 30 mm (1.18 in.) to 50 mm (1.97 in.), not into the
cabinet. Block the pipe with waterproof tape or silicon gel, and secure the pipe to the cable
hole at the cabinet bottom with metal piece.
If cables at the cabinet bottom need to be routed through a pipe along the metal cable trough,
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.
When 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.
Cables are secured with cable clips.
Cables are routed neatly along the specified cabling direction and secured with cable clips.
The 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.
Cable clips must be vertical with cables, and the cables in a cable clip must be parallel.
After routing cables neatly and correctly, tighten the screws on cable clips.
Secure cables on the cable tray, as shown in Figure 7-1.

the guardrail or pole with cable clips. The device cannot be far away from the position for
securing the cables.
Cabling Requirements for PGND Cables
PGND cables for the base station must be connected to the same ground bar.
PGND cables must be buried in the ground or routed indoors. They should not be routed
overhead before they are led into the equipment room.
The exterior of the coaxial wire and the shield layer of the shielded cable must have proper
electrical contact with the metal surface of the equipment to which they are connected.
PGND cables and signal cables must be installed in an untangled and orderly fashion. A
certain distance must be reserved between them to prevent interference from each other.
Fuses or switches must not be installed on the PGND cables.
Other devices must not be used for electrical connections of the PGND cables.
All the metal parts in the housing of the equipment must be reliably connected to the ground
terminal.
Cabling Requirements for E1 Cables
E1 cables must not cross power cables, PGND cables, or RF cables when routed. If
transmission cables are routed with power cables, PGND cables, or RF cables in parallel,
the spacing between them must be greater than 30 mm (1.18 in.).
E1 cables are routed straightly and bound neatly with cable ties.
Sufficient slack is provided in E1 cables at turns.
E1 cables cannot be squeezed by the cabinet door when routed through the cabinet, as
shown in Figure 7-3.

7 Installing RRU Cables
Do not bind fiber optic cables at turns.
Do not stretch, step on, or place heavy objects on fiber optic cables. Keep the cables away
from sharp objects.
When fiber optic cables are routed, the excess of the cables must be coiled around special
devices, such as a fiber coiler.
An unarmored fiber optic cable must be bound using binding straps. If a fiber optic patch
cord needs to be secured in a cabinet or a piece of equipment, use binding straps to bind it
and then use cable ties to secure the binding straps to the cabinet or equipment. Ensure that
the fiber optic cables can flexibly move in the cable ties. Do not bend the fiber optic cables
sharply. The following figure shows how to bind the fiber optic cables correctly.
Figure 7-4 Binding fiber optic cables
When coiling fiber optic cables, apply even strength. Do not bend the cables with force.
Vacant optical connectors must be covered with dustproof caps.
Fiber optic cables cannot be squeezed by the cabinet door when routed through the cabinet,
as shown in Figure 7-5, Figure 7-6 and Figure 7-7.
