substances. The power voltage at the site must be stable.
● Sites must be located at a place where violent shakes or strong noises are
unlikely to occur.
● Sites must be far away from substations, industrial boilers, and heating
boilers.
● Sites must be far away from high-power radio transmitters, radar stations, or
other interference sources. The interference field strength cannot exceed the
shielding specifications of the base station for useless radiation.
● Sites must be far away from pollution sources. If a site has to be constructed
near a pollution source, the site must be constructed in the upwind direction.
– Sites must be located at least 5 km (3.11 mi.) away from heavy pollution
sources, such as a smelting plant or a coal mine.
– Sites must be located at least 3.7 km (2.30 mi.) away from medium
pollution sources such as a chemical plant, a rubber plant, or an

1.12 Installing Cables

This section describes external cables and cables for mandatory components.

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.).
● 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.

Issue 07 (2021-06-12) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 70

IMB05
Installation Guide 1 IMB05 Installation Guide

● After cables are installed, labels or nameplates must be attached to the cables
at their ends, curves, and interconnection positions.

Security requirements
● When routing cables, avoid sharp objects or sharp edges on the wall. If
necessary, use tubes to protect the cables.
● When routing cables, keep the cables away from heat sources and use heat
insulation materials to insulate the cables from the 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.
● Reserve drip loops for all cables outside the feeder window before routing
them into the room. Ensure that the radiuses of the drip loops are greater
than or equal to the minimum bending radiuses of the cables.
● 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.
● 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 maintenance cavity of 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

Issue 07 (2021-06-12) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 71

IMB05
Installation Guide 1 IMB05 Installation Guide

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.

Special Cabling Requirements

Cabling of power cables
● Power cables must be installed in the position specified in engineering design
documents.
● If the length of a cable cannot meet the requirement, replace the cable rather
than adding connectors or soldering joints to lengthen the cables.
● Cables can only be routed under well-planned instructions. The cabling
activities are allowed only when qualified personnel and communication
facilities are available.
● Do not circle or twist cables.

Installation Guide 1 IMB05 Installation Guide

● 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 be crossed with power cables, PGND cables, or RF cables
when being laid out. 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 are routed straightly and bound neatly with cable ties.
● Sufficient slack is provided in E1 cables at turns.
● E1 cables cannot be pressed by the cabinet door when routed through the
cabinet. The following figure shows both correct and incorrect ways of routing
the cables.

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.
● Do not circle or twist cables.
● 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 equipment, 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 1-67 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.

● After routing an optical fiber near the equipment on a tower, use clips to
secure the optical fiber onto a pole or the rails surrounding the platform.
Ensure that the distance between the equipment and the position where the
optical fiber is secured is not too long.
● Coil the excess of the optical fibers near the equipment on the tower before
securing the cables onto the tower.

modules are labeled "MM".
● The puller of a single-mode optical module is blue and the puller of a
multimode optical module is black or gray.

Issue 07 (2021-06-12) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 122

IMB05
Installation Guide 1 IMB05 Installation Guide

NOTICE

● The performance of an optical module may deteriorate if it is exposed to the

air for a long time. Therefore, insert an optical fiber into an optical module
within 20 minutes after unpacking the optical module.
● The fiber optical cables in an IMB need be routed and bound along the right
side of the IMB for easy maintenance of the fan in the future.
● When an IMB is installed on a wall, the optical fiber out of the IMB should be
routed with the bending radius of greater than or equal to 140 mm (5.51 in.).

NOTICE

Optical modules to be installed must match the rates of their corresponding ports.
For example, the FE1 port (optical transmission port) on a GTMU/GTMUb/GTMUc
supports only the 100 Mbit/s transmission rate and therefore can only use an
optical module that supports hundreds of megabits per second. In this scenario, an
optical module that supports thousands of megabits per second may cause the
transmission link to be disconnected.

NOTE

● "SFP0" and "FE/GE0" ports on the LMPT are used for one GE input. Therefore, they are
not used simultaneously.
● "SFP1" and "FE/GE1" ports on the LMPT are used for one GE input. Therefore, they are
not used simultaneously.

Procedure
Step 1 Install an optical module into the FE/GE, FE, SFP, or XGE port on the main control
board or transmission board, as shown in Figure 1-120 and Figure 1-121.
1. Remove the dustproof cap from the corresponding optical port on the
corresponding board in the BBU.

NOTICE

After removing dustproof caps from the optical module and optical fiber
connector, insert the optical fiber into the optical module immediately (within
one minute) to avoid pollution of the optical module or optical fiber
connector, which may cause an optical module alarm.

2. Remove the dustproof cap from the optical module.

3. Lower the puller of the optical module.
4. Insert the optical module into the optical port.
5. Raise the puller of the optical module.

1.12.8 Installing CPRI Optical Fibers

This section describes the procedure for installing CPRI optical fibers, which
transmit CPRI signals between the BBU and RRUs.

Context
● The positions on the BBU for connecting to CPRI optical fibers are determined
by the BBU boards. This section uses half-width boards as an example.
● Single-mode optical modules are labeled "SM" and multimode optical
modules are labeled "MM".
● The puller of a single-mode optical module is blue and the puller of a
multimode optical module is black or gray.
● Optical modules to be installed must match the rates of their corresponding
ports.
● For details on the CPRI optical fiber connections, see section "CPRI Cable
Connections" in 3900 & 5900 Series Base Station Cables.

NOTICE

● The performance of an optical module may deteriorate if it is exposed to the

air for a long time. Therefore, keep the dustproof cap in the port of each
installed optical module plugged before you connect an optical fiber to the
optical module.
● CPRI optical fibers must be correctly connected in one time during the
installation. Otherwise, the RRU may malfunction, and cells may become
unusable.

NOTICE

● When a UBBPem is installed in slot 0, slot 1, slot 2, or slot 3 in the BBU, it

supports two 100 Gbit/s optical modules.
● When a UBBPem is installed in slot 4 or slot 5 in the BBU, it supports only one
100 Gbit/s optical module. Otherwise, an overtemperature alarm may be
generated.

Procedure
Step 1 Install an optical module on the BBU side, as shown in the following figure.
1. Remove the dustproof cap from the "CPRI" port on the baseband processing
unit (for example, UBBP) in the BBU.

NOTICE

After removing dustproof caps from the optical module and optical fiber
connector, insert the optical fiber into the optical module immediately (within
one minute) to avoid pollution of the optical module or optical fiber
connector, which may cause an optical module alarm.

2. Remove the dustproof cap from the optical module.

3. (Optional) For the optical module with a puller, lower the puller. For the
optical module with a handle, skip this step.
4. Insert the optical module into the "CPRI" port on the baseband processing
unit (for example, UBBP).
5. (Optional) For the optical module with a puller, raise the puller. For the
optical module with a handle, skip this step.
