1 RHUB5961 Description

The RRU HUB (RHUB) converges CPRI data from remote radio frequency (RF) modules. It
provides the following functions:
 Receives downlink data from the baseband unit (BBU) and forwards the data to pico
remote radio units (pRRUs), and forwards uplink data of pRRUs to the BBU.
 Supplies power to pRRUs using power over Ethernet (PoE).
 Connects to pRRUs through Ethernet cables.

1.2 Version Differences
This section describes the version mapping information and application differences of the
RHUB5961 in different versions.

1.2 Version Differences

This section describes the version mapping information and application differences of the
RHUB5961 in different versions.
Earliest mapping software version: SRAN15.1
The application differences of the RHUB5961 in different versions are as follows:
 In SRAN15.1 and SRAN16.0, only the CPRI0 and CPRI1 ports can provide optical fiber
connections. The CPRI topology on the main chain can only be a star or chain topology,
rather than a dual-chain topology.
 From SRAN16.1 onwards, the CPRI0 to CPRI4 ports can provide optical fiber
connections. The CPRI topology on the main chain can be a star, chain, or dual-chain
topology.

Description 2 RHUB5961 Technical Specifications

For the RHUB, the no-load power consumption and half-load power consumption are measured at an
ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F); the full-load power consumption is measured at an ambient
temperature of 60°C (140°F). A 10% deviation from the actual measured value exists. These power
consumption specifications do not include power consumption arising from pRRU power supply. The
actual power consumption depends on factors such as the number of connected pRRUs, number of
configured carriers, cable types, and cable lengths.

Power Supply

Table 2-2 Power supply for an RHUB5961

Item Specifications

Input power 90 V AC to 290 V AC

Onsite AC power is supplied to an RHUB over a power cable.

Type C upper-level AC circuit breakers or slow-blow fuses must be used. One circuit breaker
is configured for each RHUB. The maximum current must not exceed 16 A. Table 2-3
describes the recommended configurations.

mi.) if the radius of the donor cell is
modified to 35 km (21.75 mi.).
