8.1 Cabling RequirementsCables must be laid out according to the specified cabling requirements to prevent signalinterference.NOTEIf a cable listed below is not required, skip the cabling requirements of the cable.General Cabling RequirementsBending radius requirementslThe bending radius of a 7/8'' feeder must be greater than 250 mm (9.84 in.), and the bendingradius of a 5/4'' feeder must be greater than 380 mm (14.96 in.).lThe bending radius of a 1/4'' jumper must be greater than 35 mm (1.38 in.). The bendingradius of a super-flexible 1/2'' jumper must be greater than 50 mm (1.97 in.), and the bendingradius of an ordinary 1/2'' jumper must be greater than 127 mm (5 in.).lThe bending radius of a power cable or PGND cable must be at least three times its diameter.lThe bending radius of a fiber optic cable is at least 20 times of its diameter, and the bendingradius of a breakout cable is at least 30 mm (1.18 in.).lThe bending radius of an E1/T1 cable must be at least three times its diameter.lThe bending radius of a signal cable must be at least five times its diameter.Cable binding requirementslCables of the same type must be bound together.lDifferent types of cables must be separately laid out and bound, with a minimum distanceof 30 mm (1.18 in.) from each other.lThe cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be damaged.lThe cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must bein a straight line.lThe excess of the indoor cable ties is cut off. The excess of 5 mm (0.197 in.) of the outdoorcable ties is reserved, and the cut surfaces are smooth without sharp edges.lAfter cables are installed, labels or nameplates must be attached to the cables at their ends,curves, and interconnection positions.Security requirementslWhen routing cables, avoid sharp objects, for example sharp edges on the wall. If necessary,use tubes to protect the cables.lWhen routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat insulationmaterials to insulate the cables from the heat sources.lReserve a proper distance (0.1 m or 3.937 in. is recommended) between equipment andcables especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and equipment.Indoor cabling requirementslRoute each cable into the room through the feeder window.8 Installing RRU CablesIssue () Huawei Proprietary and ConfidentialCopyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.87
lReserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing them into theroom. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater than or equal to the minimumbending radiuses of the cables.lWhen routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in the room.lApply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.Outdoor Cabling RequirementslAfter being connected to a ground clip on power cables, a ground cable must be routeddownwards to prevent water from entering the equipment to which the power cablesconnect.lProtect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables through tubes.lThe cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables laidout underground.lWhen routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a 30 mm to 50mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the cabinet but do not put thetubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or waterproof silicon gel to block both ends ofthe tubes and use sheet metal tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.lWhen routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the cabinet, do notput the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable trough and connect the tubesto the cable holes in the base.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.lUse clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the installationguide delivered with the clip.lArrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the cables.lDetermine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual situation. Forexample, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at an interval of 1.5 m to 2 m (4.92 ft to 6.56ft), CPRI fiber optic cables and power cables are secured with clips at an interval of 1 mto 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92 ft). Ensure that the clips are evenly spaced and in the same direction.lWhen fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly and are routedthrough the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too tightly.NOTEThere are two types of clips: 3-hole clip and 6-hole clip, which are described as follows:lA 3-hole clip is shown by illustration a in the following figure. It is often used to fasten feeders.lA 6-hole clip is shown by illustration b in the following figure. It is often used to fasten power cables andCPRI fiber optic cables.8 Installing RRU CablesIssue () Huawei Proprietary and ConfidentialCopyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.88
