Raycap has made all reasonable efforts to ensure that the instructions contained in this document
are adequate and free of material errors and omissions. Raycap will, if deemed necessary, explain
issues which may not be covered by this document.
The contents of this document are subject to revision without notice due to continued progress in
methodology, design and manufacturing. Raycap shall have no liability for any error damage of any
kind resulting from the use of this document.

1.2 Warnings
Please read this manual prior to use to become familiar with the product’s numerous features and
operating procedures. To maintain the maximum degree of safety, follow the sequences as outlined.
Before using the product, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the product and on any
equipment connected to the product.

CAUTION:
Unless otherwise noted, product usage that is not recommended or sold by the product
manufacturer can result in risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Do not operate the product if it has been damaged in any way. Return damaged products to
their manufacturer for repair or replacement.
Do not disassemble the product as incorrect reassembling can risk electrical shock or fire.
Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. Bending the cables beyond
their minimum bend radius can damage the cables and cause problems that are difficult to
diagnose.
Do not let fiber-optic cables hang free from the connector. Do not allow fastened loops of
cables to dangle, which stresses the cables at the fastening point.

WARNING:
Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-
optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to transceivers emit laser light that can
damage your eyes.
Do not stare into the laser beam or view it directly with optical instruments even if the interface
has been disabled.
Secure the cables so that they are not supporting their own weight. Place excess cable out of
the way in a neatly coiled loop. Placing fasteners on a loop helps cables maintain their shape.
Disconnect or disable the DC power source to the product prior to beginning its installation.
Ensure that the DC power source to the product remains de-energized until the completion of
the installation and after all connections have been verified to be correctly configured.
Electrostatic sensitive devices. ESD mitigative procedures, such as wearing wriststraps are to
be used during installation and maintenance.

For conditions other than those described above, please contact a Raycap Account Representative
at (208) 777-1166, (800) 890-2569 or www.raycap.com
Thank you for choosing quality products from Raycap.

2.0 Introduction
In a split Radio Base Station (RBS) architecture the typical RBS consists of a Base Band Unit
(BBU) and Remote Radio Heads (RRH) connected by cabling. Power to the RRH is provided
through copper cables traveling from the DC power plant to the top of the tower or roof top.
This creates a conductive path, making the active equipment at the top and the base of the site
vulnerable to damage by direct lightning strikes. Protection systems must be able to withstand
direct lightning currents in order to protect the sensitive equipment. Raycap’s RRH solutions
featuring Strikesorb® SPD technology significantly enhance the reliability & availability of the
RRH site by providing superior electrical protection at the RRH and DC power plant.
