 Installing Cables
ef Installing the GPS Antenna System and Cables
NOTE
The GPS antenna can be installed under a tower or on a tower. Here is the process of installing a GPS antenna
under a tower. For details about how to install a GPS antenna on a tower, see “Installing a GPS Antenna on a
tower” in eNodeB Product Documentation.

3. Lay out the feeder outdoors.
4. When leading the feeder to the house,
prepare a drip loop and screw the fasteners
to seal the feeder window.
5. Install the feeder indoors and connect the
feeder to the surge port on the SPD.
6. (Optional) Install the GPS amplifier.

Checking the Hardware Installation

a Check Items for Device Installation
a
NO. Check Item

1 According to the network planning, the boards in the BBU are inserted in the proper slots and secured.

2 The subrack which is used to install the BBU is steady installed.

3 According to the network planning, the BBU cables are properly installed and secured.

4 The GPS antenna must be installed in an area with an open view and far from high buildings. The
vertical view angle of the GPS antenna must be greater than or equal to 90°.

5 The horizontal distance between the GPS antenna and the surge protector must be greater than or equal
to 2 m.

6 When leading the feeder to the equipment room, prepare a drip loop outdoors and seal the feeder window.

7 The protect end of the surge protector for the equipment must face the cabinet.

Checking the Hardware Installation
b Check Items for Cable Installation
NO. Check Item
1 All cables are connected securely and reliably. Pay special attention to the communication cable
connections and cable connections at the bottom of the cabinet.
2 Different types of cable, such as power cables, PGND cables, feeders, optical fibers, and signal cables
are separately bound.
3 The connectors of the RF cables are fixed in position. An incorrect connection may cause an abnormal
voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR).

c Check Items for Electrical Connections

NO. Check Item

1 All self-made PGND cables are copper-based with the proper wire diameters. No breaking device such
as a switch or fuse is allowed for the electric connection of the grounding system. No short circuit is
allowed.
2 The PGND cable is securely connected and the AC lead-in cable and cables in the cabinet are correctly
connected according to the electrical design of the power system. The screws are tightened. In addition,
the inputs or outputs are not short-circuited.
3 The redundant part of the power cable or PGND cable is cut rather than coiled.

4 The terminals at two ends of each power cable or PGND cable are securely soldered or crimped.

5 The bare wires and the terminal handles at the wiring terminals are coated with heat shrink tubing.

6 A flat washer and a spring washer are well mounted on each OT terminal.

Checking the Power-on State of a BBU

NOTICE
• The device must be powered on within seven days because it is unpacked. The power-off duration cannot exceed 48 hours
in the later maintenance.
• The power supply switch on the right side of the BBU is turned off.

Appendix
a Assembling the OT Terminal and the Power Cable
1. Strip the sheath off the cable to leave the
conductor with an L1 length exposed. Ensure
that the value of L1 is equal to the tail length of
the OT terminal.
Insulation layer of
the power cable
NOTICE
Ensure that the metal conductor of the cable is not
damaged when stripping the sheath off the cable.
3. Use the crimping tool to crimp the joint parts
of the bare crimping terminal and the
conductor.
Crimping tool
2. Lead the cable through the heat shrink
tubing and place the OT terminal on the
exposed conductor.
Heat shrink tubing
NOTICE
The contact terminal should contact the insulation sheath
of the cable.
After the conductor is fed into the OT terminal, the
protruding part of the conductor, L2 must not be longer
than 2 mm.
4. Install the heat shrink tubing.
NOTICE
• Heat the heat shrink tubing until it tightly clings to the
connector. Do not overheat the heat shrink tubing,
preventing the insulation layer being burnt.
• The heat shrink tubing must be fixed to cover the
cable conductor.
