1.2 RRU Introduction


A remote radio unit (RRU) is a remote RF processing unit.

An RRU performs the following functions:

Issue 04 (2017-09-30) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 3


RRU3168
Hardware Description 1 RRU3168 Hardware Description

● Receives downlink baseband data from the BBU and sends uplink baseband
data to the BBU.
● Receives RF signals from the antenna system, down-converts the received
signals to IF signals, amplifies the IF signals, and performs analog-to-digital
(A/D) conversion. The TX channel filters downlink signals, performs digital-to-
analog (D/A) conversion, and upconverts IF signals to the TX band.
● Multiplexes RX and TX signals on the RF channel, which enables these signals
to share the same antenna path. It also filters the RX and TX signals.

1.2.5 Optical Modules


An optical module transmits optical signals between an optical port and an optical
fiber.
Optical modules can be classified as single-mode and multimode optical modules,
which can be distinguished as follows:
● The puller of a single-mode optical module is blue and the puller of a
multimode optical module is black or gray.
● The transmission mode is displayed as "SM" on the label of a single-mode
optical module and "MM" on the label of a multimode optical module.
Optical modules must be used in pairs on both ends of an optical fiber. The
following table describes the mapping.

NOTICE

Each type of optical module has its own mapping. If different types of optical
modules are used, performance risks may arise, for example, alarms, bit errors,
and interrupted links.

SFP BIDI (single-fiber SFP BIDI optical modules are used on both sides,
bidirectional, BIDI for or the DSFP optical module is used on the BBU
short) optical module side and the SFP BIDI optical module is used on
the RRU side.
● The receive and transmit wavelengths of an
optical module on both sides have the
mapping relationship. For example, if the
receive and transmit wavelengths of the optical
module on the BBU side are 1270TX/1330RX,
those on the RRU side are 1330TX/1270RX.
● Except for wavelengths, the specifications of
optical modules are the same.
For details about the DSFP optical module, see the
hardware description of the corresponding BBU.

NOTE

● The exterior and label on an optical module in this section are for reference only.
● The optical modules to be installed must match CPRI rates.
● Only Huawei-certified optical modules meeting the following requirements can be used
for Huawei wireless devices:
● Requirements of devices on which optical modules are to be installed
● Laser safety requirements in the IEC 60825-1 standard
● General safety requirements in the IEC 60950-1 standard
● For part numbers for Huawei Wireless certificated and provided SFP and QSFP optical
modules, see Spare Parts Catalog.
● The supported maximum remote distance varies depending on the optical module. For
details, see section "CPRI Fiber Optic Cable" in "Base Station Cables". CPRI fiber optic
cables are configured based on application scenarios.

possible. The recommended length is 3 m (9.84 ft).
If feeders are used, the length of a feeder should not exceed 100 m (328.08 ft) and the
difference between the lengths of any two feeders of an RRU should not exceed 2 m (6.56
ft).

provides a solution for extended installation of Huawei products on towers or
building tops.

OCB
An Outdoor Cable Conversion Box (OCB) interconnects cables of different core
diameters. Power cables shipped with RRUs cannot support long-distance power
supply. Therefore, when power supply is far from the equipment, cables with large
core diameters are used, and an OCB connects these cables and RRU power
cables.

For details about the structure, functions, installation, and maintenance of an


OCB, see the OCB User Guide or OCB–01M User Guide.
