FWPP-504-01 July 2016 The initial release of this installation guide (FWPP-504-01) was released when CommScope acquired TE Connectivity’s telecom, enterprise and wireless business, which included the FlexWave Prism product line. CommScope document FWPP-504-01 replaced TE document TECP-77-275. FWPP-504-01 also added support for the HDM TDD RF Modules FWP-T4MT000MOD-L (20W 2500 TDD Low, MIMO, 2496.5-2571.5 MHz) and... -

E M O T E N I T S FlexWave PRUs control RF emissions, interface with the FlexWave Prism Host Unit II and perform the optical to electrical conversion for transport to the antennas. The PRU is an environmentally-sealed unit designed for outdoor use that houses the electronic assemblies such as the Digital/Analog Radio Transceiver (DART) board and the Power Amplifier, and seals out dirt and moisture. The PRU uses fans located on the top of each unit to cool its chassis. The antenna cable connectors, fiber connectors, AC or DC power connector, and the unit status indicator are located on the bottom of the unit. A PRU supports or provides the following basic functions: Receives on the forward path the digitized spectrum from the Host and converts the spectrum back into an • RF signal to be distributed via an externally mounted antenna system. On the reverse path, the PRU digitizes the designated RF spectrum and digitally transports it over single mode fiber or Millimeter Wave (MMW) to the Host. Provides RF interface (antenna port) for the antennas. • Accepts either AC or DC power input. • ® FWPP-504-02 FlexWave Prism Remote Unit and RF Module Installation Guide © May 2017 CommScope, Inc.

Overview of Prism Remote Units ORTS AND ONNECTORS Make sure you refer to the section that describes the PRU deployed in your installation. "Bottom of an AC-Powered Quad-Bay PRU” on page 8 and "DC-Powered Quad-Bay PRU” on page 9 shows the differences between an AC-powered and a DC-powered PRU. The differences will be the same for Single-Bay, Dual-Bay, and Tri-Bay chassis. Additionally, for both the AC-Powered and DC-Powered PRUs: The number of Antenna connectors on the bottom of a PRU corresponds to the number of RF Module bays in • that PRU model, where there are two Antenna connectors per bay. For example: There are four RF Module bays in a Quad-Bay PRU, so there are eight Antenna connectors. – There is one RF Module bay in the Single-Bay PRU, so there are two Antenna connectors. – The Single-Bay PRU only has one Fiber connector whereas the other three PRU models have two. • ® FWPP-504-02 FlexWave Prism Remote Unit and RF Module Installation Guide © May 2017 CommScope, Inc.

RF M ODULE IGITAL NALOG ADIO RANSCEIVERS Each RF Module can support any of the following Digital/Analog Radio Transceiver (DART) combinations: one Classic DART or one Single SuperDART • two Classic DARTs (i.e., the 6.5W 800/900 ESMR Module, Non-Diversity, Classic) • two Classic DARTs—Diversity • two Single SuperDARTs—Diversity • one Dual SuperDART • one or two sets of Tx and Rx Boards (HDM). • Each RF Module will have up to two 6-timeslot DARTs or one 12-timeslot DART per RF Module. The DART type determines the maximum number of links, where there can be up to eight Classic DARTs or Single SuperDARTs that support 35 MHz each, or up to 4 Dual SuperDARTs that support up to 75MHz each. ® FlexWave Prism Remote Unit and RF Module Installation Guide FWPP-504-02 Page 12 © May 2017 CommScope, Inc. - Page 17 This requires 12 fiber slots when full-band passband is selected for these Single SuperDARTs in Host Unit DART positions 1 and 3. ® FWPP-504-02 FlexWave Prism Remote Unit and RF Module Installation Guide © May 2017 CommScope, Inc.

Digital Processing Module The Digital Processing Module (DPM) is found only in the HDM RF Modules. The DPM provides the primary processing and logic functions for the HDM RF Module. It also provides the primary power interface for the HDM RF Module, and conversion of the native 28 Vdc voltage to lower voltages as necessary for functionality. The DPM has a Transmit (Tx) Board and a Receive (Rx) Board: Tx Board—provides band specific filtering for the intended Transmit path. • Rx Board—provides band specific filtering for the intended Receive path. • Cables Always provided at each RF Module shelf are five cables: two High-Speed Data Cables, which in this document are referred to as LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential • Signaling) cables two RF Cables (TX0/RX0) and (TX1/RX1) • one Power (PWR) Cable. • The RF Module cables that are pre-installed in the PRU connect to the corresponding connectors on the RF Module. The RF Module cables correlate to the antenna connectors on the bottom of the Remote Unit chassis. ® FlexWave Prism Remote Unit and RF Module Installation Guide FWPP-504-02 Page 20 © May 2017 CommScope, Inc. -
