Number of units: 1 MBU — Mounting Base Unit The MBU is the mechanical mounting interface for the RBS 2308. It also contains the interface for the main power supply, and provides surge and transient protection for incoming lines. Circuit breakers for primary power and a switch for RRU power are located here.
This section describes the RBS 2308 optional hardware units. Fan Unit The fan unit provides addtional cooling to the RBS 2308. It is located on top of the RBS, on the RRU. The fan is controlled by the RRU and receives power from it.
Most external connectors enter the cabinet through the bottom. The earthing connection is located on the top of the MBU, and the OMT connection is on the side of the IXU. External connections for the RBS 2308 include the following: • Antenna interface •...
