2.2 SMDR-NH124
ROU receives TX optical signals from ODU or OEU and converts them into RF signals. The
converted RF signals are amplified through High Power Amp in a corresponding RDU,
combined with Multiplexer module and then radiated to the antenna port.
When receiving RX signals through the antenna port, this unit filters out-of-band signals in a
corresponding RDU and sends the results to Remote Optic Module to make electronic-optical
conversion of them. After converted, the signals are sent to a upper device of ODU or OEU.
ROU can be equipped with up to three RDUs (Remote Drive Unit) and the module is composed
of maximal Dual Band.

Basically, the common part of ROU should have an enclosure and it is equipped with RCPU to
inquire and control state of each module, R_OPTIC to make both of electronic-optical and
optical-electronic conversions, RPSU to supply power for ROU and a Multi-Plexer to help share
multiple TX/RX signals through one antenna. It should have Power Cable for external rectifier or
to supply required power.
In addition, RDU can be inserted and removed to provide service for desired band (Optional).
3.1.2 ROU Power Cabling
ROU supports both of DC-48V and AC120V of input power. As RPSU for DC-48 and RPSU for
AC120V are separated from each other, you need to select one of them in case of purchase
order.
RPSU for DC -48V and RSPU for AC 120V have the same configuration and capacity while
each of the units uses different input voltage from each other.

3.1.3 Optical Cabling
ROU makes optical-electronic conversion of TX signals from upper ODU and OEU and makes
electronic- optical conversion of RX signals. ROU has one optical module in it. As WDM is
installed in the R_OPTIC module, two pieces of wavelength (TX:1310nm, RX:1550nm) can be
sent/received with one optical core at the same time. ROU has SC/APC of optical adaptor type.
For optical adaptor, SC/APC type can be used. To prevent the optical access part from being
marred with dirt, it should be covered with a cap during move. When devices are connected
through optical cables, you need to clear them using alcohocol to remove dirt.
Confidential & Proprietary 19/27
Optical cables should be inserted into Optic Port outside of ROU. Using an optical slack devices
in ROU, you need to coil around one or two roll of cables to be connected with the optical
adaptor of ROPTIC.
At this time, curvature of the optical cable should be at least 10Ø to prevent insertion loss from
being increased.
Through GUI, check if PD value of ROPTIC is in a tolerable range (+4~-1dBm).
3.1.4 GND Terminal Connection
ROU has one GND terminal port where is on bottom side, like below
- Take off the GND terminal port from enclosure and connect to ground cable, then fix it

Confidential & Proprietary 20/27
3.1.5 Coaxial cable and Antenna Connection
- The coaxial cables which are connected to antenna distribued network connect to
antenna port of ROU. Before connection, check the VSWR value of coaxial cable
whether it is within specification using SITEMASTER .
- At this time, check if the Return loss have above 15Db or VSWR have below 1.5
- The part of antenna connection fasten to port not to be loosed and not to be injected
the dusty and insects
- The antenna connected to ROU is only serviced in inbuilding
3.1.6 Insertion of RDU
ROU has slots to enable up to three RDU modules to be inserted into the unit.
You can insert a RDU into any slot. It is not possible to provide services with a RDU
module alone; you need to connect the module with Cavity BPF in any case.
