1.2.6 Optical Modules

An optical module transmits optical signals between an optical port and an optical
fiber.

Optical modules of various types must be used in pairs on both ends of an optical
fiber. The following table describes the mapping.

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.
● To ensure that optical modules are connected and working properly, Huawei
equipment must be used with the original optical modules. As the compatibility
and quality of third-party optical modules cannot be guaranteed, using such
modules may cause connection exceptions or even damage to the main
equipment.

User Guide 1 CGPS User Guide

NOTE

● Install only one CGPS for one site.

● For sites where RRUs have been installed: If the RRU is installed in standard (or reverse)
mode, install the CGPS independently and near the RRU. If the installation space is
limited or the installation scenario is restricted, change the RRU installation mode to
side-mounted, and install the CGPS on the right of the RRU.

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 its diameter.
● The bending radius of a fiber optic cable is at least 20 times of 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 of the same type must be bound together.
● Different types of cables must be separately laid out and bound, with a
minimum distance of 30 mm (1.18 in.) from each other.
● 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 is cut off. The excess of 5 mm (0.197 in.)
of the outdoor cable ties is reserved, and the cut surfaces are smooth without
sharp edges.
● 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, for example 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.

Issue 01 (2019-06-06) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 75

User Guide 1 CGPS User Guide

● Reserve a proper distance (0.1 m or 3.937 in. is recommended) between

equipment and cables especially at the cable curves to protect the cables and
equipment.
Indoor cabling requirements
● Route each cable into the room 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 laid out 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 CGPS cables, ensure that the highest positions of the routes of
all CGPS cables (except RF cables and AISG cables) are lower than the bottom
of the CGPS to prevent water from entering the maintenance cavity of the
CGPS.
● 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 fiber optic cables 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 in 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.

Special Cabling Requirements

Cabling of power cables
● Power cables must be installed in the position specified in engineering design
documents.
● If the length of power cables is insufficient, replace the cables rather than
adding connectors or soldering joints to lengthen the cables.

Issue 01 (2019-06-06) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 78

User Guide 1 CGPS User Guide

● Cables can only be laid out under well-planned instructions. The cabling
activities of fiber optic cables are allowed only when qualified personnel and
communication facilities are available.
● Do not circle and twist cables.
● 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 that there is no excessively long distance between the equipment and
the position where the power cable is secured.
Cabling of PGND cables
● PGND cables for a base station must be connected to the same group of
ground bars.
● PGND cables must be buried in the ground or routed 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 separately. A certain distance
must be 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 must not cross power cables, PGND cables, or RF cables when laid
out. If transmission cables are laid out 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 lined up straight and bound neatly with cable ties.
● Sufficient slack is provided for E1 cables at turns.
● E1 cables must not be pressed by the door of the cabinet when routed, as

Cabling of fiber optic cables

● At least three people are required for laying out fiber optic cables. The cabling
activities of fiber optic cables are allowed only when qualified personnel and
communication facilities are available.
● The operating temperature of fiber optic cables ranges from -40ºC to +60ºC
(-40ºF to +140ºF). If the actual temperature is beyond this range, take
protective measures or select another route.
● Do not circle and twist cables.
● Do not bind a fiber optic cable at the position where it bends.
● Do not stretch, step on, or place heavy objects on fiber optic cables. Keep the
fiber optic cables away from sharp objects.
● When fiber optic cables are routed, the excess of the fiber optic cables must
be coiled around special devices, such as a fiber coiler.
● An unarmored fiber optic cable must be bound using binding straps. If a fiber
optic patch cord 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 fiber optic cables can flexibly
move in the cable ties. Do not bend the fiber optic cables sharply. The
following figure shows how to bind the fiber optic cables correctly.
