The RRU in Figure 98 means ZXSDR R8860. 1. One ZXSDR R8860 is connected to another ZXSDR R8860 or to BBU by optical fibers. Each ZXSDR R8860 provides two optical ports that are identified by LC1 and LC2 respectively. 2. Generally, the LC1 serve to connect the BBU or the upper level ZXSDR R8860 while the LC2 to connect the lower level ZXSDR R8860.
OAU Technical Indices The outdoor AC unit (OAU) is AC/DC power. One OAU can provide -48V AC for one ZXSDR R8860 and one ZXSDR R8860 C806 at the same time to realize indirect AC power supply for ZXSDR R8860 and ZXSDR R8860 C806 .
