1.12 Installing Cables

After the INS05 is installed, you need to install external cables routed into the
cabinet or rack and cables for mandatory components, including the power cables,
signal cables, and transmission cables.

1.12.1 Cabling Requirements

Cables must be routed according to specified cabling requirements to prevent
signal interference.

NOTE

If a cable listed below is not required, skip the cabling requirements of the cable.

General Cabling Requirements

Bending radius requirements
● The bending radius of a 7/8'' feeder must be greater than 250 mm (9.84 in.),
and the bending radius of a 5/4'' feeder must be greater than 380 mm (14.96
in.).
● The bending radius of a 1/4'' jumper must be greater than 35 mm (1.38 in.).
The bending radius of a super-flexible 1/2'' jumper must be greater than 50
mm (1.97 in.), and the bending radius of an ordinary 1/2'' jumper must be
greater than 127 mm (5 in.).

Issue 02 (2021-04-24) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 28

INS05
Installation Guide 1 INS05 Installation Guide

● The bending radius of a power cable or PGND cable must be at least three
times the cable diameter.
● The bending radius of an optical fiber is at least 20 times its diameter, and the
bending radius of a breakout cable is at least 30 mm (1.18 in.).
● The bending radius of an E1/T1 cable must be at least three times its
diameter.
● The bending radius of a signal cable must be at least five times its diameter.

Cable binding requirements

● Cables must be bound before being routed out of the equipment.
● Cables of the same type must be bound together.
● Different types of cables must be separately routed and bound.
● The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must
not be damaged.
● The cable ties must face the same direction, and those at the same horizontal
line must be in a straight line.
● The excess of the indoor cable ties needs to be cut off. A 5 mm (0.20 in.)
excess needs to be reserved for each outdoor cable tie, without any sharp
edges.
● Labels or nameplates must be attached to both ends, joints, or turns of cables
after they are installed.

Security requirements
● Cables should be placed away from sharp objects or wall burrs. If these
positions are inevitable, the cables must be protected with tubes.
● Cables must be routed away from heat sources, or heat-insulation materials
must be added between cables and heat sources.
● Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m or 0.33 ft is recommended) between
equipment and cables, especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and
equipment.

Indoor cabling requirements

● Cables are routed indoors through the feeder window.
● Drip loops must be made outside the feeder window, and the requirements
for the minimum bending radius need to be met.
● When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in
the room.
● Apply waterproof treatment to the feeder window.

Outdoor Cabling Requirements

● After being connected to a ground clip on power cables, a ground cable must
be routed downwards to prevent water from entering the equipment to which
the power cables connect.
● Protect outdoor cables against potential damage. For example, put the cables
through tubes.
● The cables to be protected include AC power cables, transmission cables, and
cables routed underground.

Issue 02 (2021-04-24) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 29

INS05
Installation Guide 1 INS05 Installation Guide

● When routing cables through tubes on the ground below the cabinet, put a
30 mm to 50 mm (1.18 in. to 1.97 in.) length of the tubes into the base of the
cabinet but do not put the tubes into the cabinet. Use waterproof tape or
waterproof silicon gel to block both ends of the tubes and use sheet metal
tabs to secure the tubes to the cable holes in the base.
● When routing cables through tubes along a metal cable trough below the
cabinet, do not put the tubes into the base of the cabinet but cover the cable
trough and connect the tubes to the cable holes in the base.
● When routing RRU/AAU cables, ensure that the highest positions of the routes
of all cables (except RF cables and AISG cables) are lower than the bottom of
the module. This prevents water from entering the module along the cables.
● Use clips to secure cables outdoors. For the method of installing a clip, see the
installation guide delivered with the clip.
● Arrange cables neatly along the routing direction and use clips to secure the
cables.
● Determine the positions where the clips are installed according to the actual
situation. For example, 7/8" feeders are secured with clips at an interval of 1.5
m to 2 m (4.92 ft to 6.56 ft), CPRI/Ir optical fibers and power cables are
secured with clips at an interval of 1 m to 1.5 m (3.28 ft to 4.92 ft). Ensure
that the clips are evenly spaced and face the same direction.
● When fastening cables with a clip, ensure that the cables are aligned neatly
and are routed through the holes in the clip. Do not stretch the cables too
tightly.
● Cable ties are used to assist in binding cables. One cable tie can bind a
maximum of two cables.
There are two types of clips which are described as follows:
● A 3-hole clip is shown by illustration a in the following figure. It is often used
to fasten feeders.
● A 6-hole clip is shown by illustration b in the following figure. It is often used
to fasten power cables and CPRI/Ir optical fibers.

● After routing a DC power cable onto the platform on a tower, route it along
the shortest path to the rails surrounding the platform, and route it along the
inside of the rails.
● After routing a DC power cable close to the equipment on a tower, use clips
to secure the power cable onto a pole or the rails surrounding the platform.
Ensure the position where the power cable is secured is less than 1.5 m (4.92
ft) away from the equipment to which the power cable connects.
Cabling of PGND cables
● PGND cables for a base station must be connected to the same group of
ground bars.
● PGND cables cannot be routed overhead outdoors. All PGND cables must be
buried in the ground or laid out indoors.
● The external conductor of the coaxial wire and the shield layer of the shielded
cable must have proper electrical contact with the metal surface of the
equipment to which they are connected.
● PGND cables and signal cables must be installed with a certain distance
reserved between them to prevent interference from each other.
● Switches or fuses must not be installed on the PGND cables.
● Other devices must not be used for electrical connections of the PGND cables.
● All the metal parts in the housing of the equipment must be reliably
connected to the ground terminal.
Cabling of E1 cables
● E1 cables cannot cross power cables, PGND cables, or RF cables when routed.
If transmission cables are routed with power cables, PGND cables, or RF
cables in parallel, the spacing between them must be greater than 30 mm
(1.18 in.).
● E1 cables must be routed neatly and bound securely with cable ties.
● Sufficient slack is provided in E1 cables at turns.

INS05
Installation Guide 1 INS05 Installation Guide

Cabling of optical fibers

● At least three persons are required for routing optical fibers. The cabling
activities of optical fibers are allowed only when qualified personnel and
communication facilities are available.
● The operating temperature of optical fibers ranges from –40°C to +60°C (–
40°F to +140°F). If the actual temperature is beyond this range, take
protective measures or select another route.
● Cables must be routed in an untangled and orderly way.
● Do not bind optical fibers at the position where they bend.
● Do not stretch, step on, or place heavy objects on optical fibers. Keep the
optical fibers away from sharp objects.
● When optical fibers are routed, the excess of the optical fibers must be coiled
around special devices, such as a fiber coiler.
● An optical jumper must be bound using binding straps. If an optical fiber
needs to be secured in a cabinet or a piece of equipment, use binding straps
to bind it and then use cable ties to secure the binding straps to the cabinet
or equipment. Ensure that the optical fibers can flexibly move in the cable
ties. Right angle bending is not allowed. The following figure shows the
correct and incorrect manners of binding optical fibers.

Figure 1-26 Binding optical fibers

● When coiling optical fibers, apply even strength. Do not bend the optical
fibers with force.
● Unused optical connectors must be covered with dustproof caps.
● The optical fibers must not be pressed by the door of the cabinet when
routed, as shown in the following figures.
