Warning!
Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in
a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment
in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

3.4.1 Protective Grounding Cable
Function
The protective grounding point is located at the bottom of the handle.
The protective grounding cable provides protective ground for the system. There are a total
of two bolts that provide a grounding connection to the ZXSDR R8978. The grounding bolt
can be connected with a dual hole OT terminal that complies with the GR1089 specification.
The OT terminal can be connected to the 16 mm2 multi-cores yellow-green copper wire.
External View
The protective grounding cable is a 16 mm2 yellow/green cable. Figure 3-4 shows the
external view.
Figure 3-4 Protective Grounding Cable
Connection
End A is connected to the grounding interface of the ZXSDR R8978. End B is connected
to the external grounding bar.
Note:
The connection area of the grounding bolt and OT terminal shall not be less than the area
of the OT terminal, and the connection resistance must be less than 50 mΩ.

3.4.2 DC Power Input Cable
Function
The DC power input interface is located in the operation and maintenance cavity of the
ZXSDR R8978.
The DC power input cable leads the external DC power into the operation and maintenance
cavity of the ZXSDR R8978. It connects to the DC power through a dual-core DC bracket
and a dual-core DC connector, to provide -48 V DC power input for the RRU.

Caution!
The 10 mm2 DC power cable cannot be directly connected to the ZXSDR R8978, and
needs to be converted to a 4 mm2 DC power cable through a junction box before connecting
to the ZXSDR R8978.
The ZXSDR R8978 does not have an AC power interface. The AC power should be
converted into DC power through the outdoor AC power lightening protection box and
then connected to the ZXSDR R8978.

3.4.4 Optical Fiber
Function
The ZXSDR R8978 has two optical interfaces, OPT1 and OPT2. They are located in the
operation and maintenance cavity. LC-type optical fiber connectors are supported.
In the ZXSDR R8978 system, the optical interfaces have the following functions:
OPT1 and OPT2 can connect the RRU to an upstream BBU, to carry the IQ data and
communication signaling between the RRU and BBU.
If the RRU serves as the upstream RRU. one optical interface can be used to cascade
a downstream RRU.
If the RRU serves as the downstream RRU, one optical interface can be used to
cascade an upstream RRU.

3.4.7 EAM/RGPS Interface Cable
Function
The dry contact (EAM) interface is located at the external filter at the bottom of the ZXSDR
R8978. It uses an eight-core round connector. It supports the RGPS functions and one
dry contract input to transparently transmit the external device status.
The RGPS receiver is located at the GPS receiving antenna. Installed near the antenna,
the satellite card transmits the output digital signal to the clock main control card through
a differential line. Because digital signal transmission is not affected by RF signal
attenuation, the remote distance is long and good reliability and maintainability is ensured.

7.1 Power Supply Requirements
Table 7-1 shows the requirements for the power supply of the ZXSDR R8978.
Table 7-1 Power Requirements
Item
Requirement
DC power supply
-48 V DC (fluctuation range: -57 V DC to –37 V DC)
The DC power supply must support the anti-reverse connection and
over-current protection functions.
AC power supply
100 V AC/110 V AC/220 V AC (fluctuation range: 90 VAC to 290 V AC)
If the AC power supply is used, the AC power needs to be converted into DC
power through the AC power lightening protection box and then connected
to the ZXSDR R8978.
