  • Page 32: General Installation Procedure

    General Installation Procedure This procedure applies to all cable types and explains how to install the cables using long glands. The gland is supplied assembled. Before inserting a cable, you must disassemble the gland cap and gland rubber from the gland body.
  • Page 33 Slide the cable into the body of the gland. If you are using a gland cap (see Step 5), make sure to leave enough space for the gland cap to fit into the gland without disturbing the cable. The M28 gland cap has a hook-on top. After attaching the gland cap to the gland, you can connect a rope to the hook and use this to lift the gland and cable up to the radio unit.
  • Page 34 Note Before tightening the gland, make sure the gland is aligned with the tapped hole in the unit. Tightening the gland at an angle can ruin the thread on the gland and prevent proper sealing of the interface. Insert the main part of the gland into the thread in the radio body and tighten until there is full contact and the gasket is fully contained between the gland and the radio and cannot be seen.

  • Page 37 Secure the cable to the lip of the gland using a tie wrap. Note If you are raising the cable to a radio unit on a tower, this step is crucial to prevent the cable from slipping from the gland, which could damage the connector. Connect the fibers to the SFP transceiver.
  • Page 38 11. Tighten the gland to the radio unit until there is full contact between the gland and the radio unit. 12. Tighten the gland cap. Note Before tightening the gland, make sure the gland is aligned with the tapped hole in the unit.

  • Page 39: Connecting A Dc Power Cable

    Connecting a DC Power Cable When the RFU-S is connected to the IDU via an optical fiber cable, a DC power cable must be connected to port P1 to provide power from an external power source to the RFU. A special power connector is used with the cable, as described in Steps 4 and 5.
  • Page 40 Insert the power cable wires into the power connector. Insert the power cable wires into the power connector. Match “+” to the 0V wire and “-“to the -48V wire, and tighten the screws with a flat screwdriver. Plug the power cable with connector into the P1 port. Screw the gland into the radio unit Note Before tightening the gland, make sure the gland is even with the cover.

    Part Number Description N000082L016A PTP 820 CAT5E Outdoor 100m drum To prepare the CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable and plug-in field: Prepare the gland and insert the cable, as described in General Installation Procedure. Strip off approximately 45 mm of the outer insulation jacket from the CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable.
  • Page 43 Trim all wires to the same length. About 12 mm on the left should be exposed from the inner sheath. Separate the wires and place the twisted shield between the separated wires. Insert the wires into the RJ45 plug. Verify that each wire is fully inserted into the front of the RJ45 plug and in the correct order, according to the pinouts shown in Outdoor CAT-5e Cable Specifications.

    Connection of CAT-5e or CAT-6 Cable to RFU-S To connect the CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable to the RFU-S: Remove the relevant cap from the RFU-S radio. You can use the side of the gland to unscrew the cap. Connect the cable to the RFU-S. phn-4755_002v006 Page 3-23...
  • Page 46 Screw the gland into the radio unit. Note Before tightening the gland, make sure the gland is even with the cover. Tighten the gland gently and make sure there is no resistance. If there is resistance, stop immediately and verify that the gland is not being inserted at an angle. Tightening the gland at an angle can ruin the thread on the gland and prevent proper sealing of the interface.

  • Page 47: Chapter 4: Generic Installation Procedures

    Chapter 4: Generic Installation Procedures Before starting an installation, use a leveler to make sure that the poles are 100% vertical. You need to check both sides of each pole at 90 degrees separation. This is a critical step in any link but most important when installing XPIC.
