3 RRU Cables
NOTE
RRU2 does not need the RF jumper that connects a CAL interface to the antenna port.
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 with a cross-
sectional area of 16 mm2 (0.025 in.2) or larger is recommended. Figure 3-1 shows the exterior
of a PGND 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 3-2 shows a two-hole OT terminal.
NOTE
If a power device provided by the customer is used, the recommended specification of the circuit breaker
on this power device is greater than 33 A.
Exterior
The RRU power cable has a female fast connector (pressfit type) 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 Figure 3-3.
The outer diameter of RRU power cables ranges from 11.5 mm to 16.4 mm, and Table 3-2,
Table 3-3 and Table 3-4 list the specifications of an RRU power cable.

An RCU is a driving motor used for the phase shifter in the RET antenna. It receives control commands from
a base station and runs the commands to drive the stepper motor. Using a gear, the stepper motor drives the
adjustable phase shifter in the antenna and changes the downtilt angle.

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.
Power Module
Power module is used to convert external AC input power into -48 V DC for the DC RRU,

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.
RMU3900A: supported by V100R012C00 and later.
For details about the structure, functions, installation, and maintenance of a RMU3900A, see
the RMU3900A User Guide.
