RRU3942
Hardware Description
2 RRU Introduction
2.1 RRU Functions
This section describes the main functions of the RRU.
The Remote Radio Unit (RRU) performs the following functions:
Receives downlink baseband data from the BBU and sends uplink baseband data to the
BBU.
Receives RF signals from the antenna system, down-converts the signals to intermediate
frequency (IF) signals, amplifies the IF signals, and performs analog-to-digital conversion.
The transmit (TX) channel filters downlink signals, performs digital-to-analog conversion,
and up-converts RF signals to the TX band.
Multiplexes receive (RX) and TX signals on the RF channel, which enables these signals
to share the same antenna path. It also filters the RX and TX signals.
Provides a built-in Bias Tee (BT). The built-in BT couples RF signals and OOK signals
and transmits them through the TX/RX port A. The built-in BT also supplies power to the
tower mounted amplifier (TMA).
The RRU can be powered by the AC/DC power module. In this case, this RRU is called
AC RRU. For details about the AC/DC power module, see the AC/DC Power Module User
Guide.
2.2 RRU Exterior
This section describes the exterior and dimensions of an RRU.

3 RRU Cables
When the distance between an RRU and an RCU is longer than 5 m (16.4 ft.), an AISG multiwire cable is not long enough to connect the RRU and the RCU. In this case, an AISG extension
cable is used to extend the AISG multi-wire cable for transmitting RS485 signals. The maximum
length of the AISG extension cable is 15 m (49.21 ft.).

3.3 RRU Power Cable
The RRU power cable is a -48 V DC shielded cable. It feeds -48 V DC power to an RRU. The
maximum length of the RRU power cable is 50 m (164.04 ft.).
Exterior
The cross-sectional areas of the RRU power cable is 6 mm2 (0.0093 in.2). A tool-less female
connector (pressfit type) needs to be added to one end of the power cable and a corresponding
terminal needs to be added to the other end. The corresponding terminal is added to the bare
wire based on the requirements of the connector on the external power device, as shown in
Figure 3-3.

3.5 CPRI Fiber Optic Cable
CPRI fiber optic cables are classified into multi-mode fiber optic cables and single-mode fiber
optic cables. They transmit CPRI signals.
NOTE
l An ODF can be used when the distance between a BBU and an RRU or the distance between
interconnected RRUs is longer than 100 m (328.08 ft).
l A single-mode fiber optic cable connects a BBU to an ODF or connects an ODF to an RRU.
The maximum length of a CPRI fiber optic cable is 150 m (492.12 ft) When the fiber optical
cable connects a BBU and an RRU. The length of a CPRI fiber optic cable is 10 m (32.81 ft)
when the fiber optical cable connects two RRUs.
Exterior
Figure 3-5 shows a fiber optic cable between a BBU and an RRU or between RRUs, with a
DLC connector at each end.

3.6 RRU RF Jumper
The 1/2" RRU RF jumper transmits and receives RF signals between an RRU and an antenna.
NOTE
l When the distance between an RRU and an antenna is within 14 m (45.93 ft.), connect one end of the RF
jumper to the ANT-TX/RXA or ANT-TX/RXB port at the RRU bottom, and connect the other end to the
antenna.
l When the distance between the RRU and the antenna exceeds 14 m (45.93 ft.), connect one end of the RF
jumper to the ANT-TX/RXA or ANT-TX/RXB port at the RRU bottom, and connect the other end to the
feeder. Then, connect the other end of the feeder to the antenna.
l If the customer prepares the RF jumper, the length of the RF jumper should be as short as possible and not
exceed 2 m (6.56 ft.).
Exterior
An RF jumper has a DIN male connector at one end and a customized connector at the other
end.

3.8 RRU AISG Multi-Wire Cable
An RRU AISG multi-wire cable connects an RRU and an RCU to transmit control signals from
a base station to an RET antenna. When the RRU is connected to the RET antenna, an AISG
multi-wire cable transmits RS485 signals. The maximum length of the AISG multi-wire cable
is 5 m (16.40 ft.).
NOTE
An RCU is a driving motor used for the phase shifter in the RET antenna. It receives control commands from a
base station and runs the commands to drive the stepper motor. Using a gear, the stepper motor drives the
adjustable phase shifter in the antenna and changes the downtilt angle.
Exterior
An AISG multi-wire cable has a waterproofed DB9 male connector at one end and a standard
AISG female connector at the other end, as shown in Figure 3-11.

About This Chapter
This chapter describes RRU auxiliary devices.
4.1 OCB
An Outdoor Cable Conversion Box (OCB) interconnects cables of different core diameters.
Power cables shipped with RRUs cannot support long-distance power supply. Therefore, when
power supply is far from the equipment, cables with large core diameters are used, and an OCB
connects these cables and RRU power cables.
