This is a draft.
● 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.

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 duplex (two-fiber SFP duplex optical modules with the same
bidirectional, duplex for specifications are used on both sides.
short) optical module
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.
There is a label on each optical module, which provides information such as the
rate, wavelength, and transmission mode, as shown in the following figure.

Exterior
An RRU PGND cable is green or green and yellow. Both ends of the PGND cable
are OT terminals. If the customer prepares the PGND cable, a copper-core cable
One OT terminal must be added to each end of the PGND cable onsite.
You can determine the color of the cable and whether to use corresponding two-
hole OT terminals based on local regulations. Figure 1-7 shows a two-hole OT
terminal.
NOTE
If the customer prepares the power equipment, the upper-level circuit breakers should
support the 15 A to 30 A current.
Exterior
The RRU power cable has a female fast connector at one end and a bare wire at
the other end. A corresponding terminal is added to the bare wire based on the
requirements of the connector on the external power device, as shown in the
following figures.

NOTE
When a single-mode optical fiber connects a BBU and an ODF, the breakout cables on the BBU
side and ODF side are 0.34 m (13.39 in.) and 0.8 m (31.5 in.) long, respectively.

When a single-mode optical fiber connects an ODF and an RRU, the breakout cables on the RRU
side and ODF side are 0.03 m (1.18 in.) and 0.8 m (31.5 in.) long, respectively.
NOTE
When RRUs are cascaded, the length of the 2 mm (0.079 in.) breakout cable is 0.03 m
(1.181 in.) at both ends.

NOTE
If the customer prepares the RF jumper, the length of the RF jumper should be as short as
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).
Exterior
The two ends of the RF jumper are N male connectors, as shown in Figure 1-14.

IFS06 Hardware Description and IFS06 Installation Guide.
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.
Power Module
Power module is used to convert external AC input power into -48 V DC or -57 V
DC for the DC RRU, including the following type:
● AC/DC Power Module
● OPM15M/OPM15M (Ver.B): supported by V100R010C10 and later.
● OPM50M/OPM50M (Ver.B): supported by V100R010C10 and later.
● OPM200: supported by V100R016C00 and later.
Distribution Equipment
The ODM03D is small distribution equipment, which supports RRU capacity
expansion, power cable reuse, and fiber optic cable reuse.
For details about the structure, functions, installation, and maintenance of an
ODM03D, see the ODM03D User Guide.
RMU
A RMU3900A (Outdoor Distribution Module) is a radio multiplex unit, which
converges and deconverges CPRI data and saves CPRI fiber optic cables between a
BBU and RRUs.
