Site preparation for microwave antenna cables
Introduction
This section discusses how to prepare the microwave antenna cables so can be connected
to the 9927 Distributed Base Station Outdoor Cabinet.
Connection overview for microwave antenna cables
The microwave cable is supplied by the customer. It will be routed and connected to the
9927 Distributed Base Station Outdoor Cabinet at a later date.
There can be up to 16 microwave cables (4 sets of 4–pack cables) entering the top-rear of
the 9927 Distributed Base Station Outdoor Cabinet. In site preparation, approximately 10
feet of each microwave cable must be coiled about six feet from the top-rear of the
cabinet.
Each microwave cable is terminated with an RJ-45 connector and must be connected to
the appropriate injector module inside the 9927 Distributed Base Station Outdoor
Cabinet.
Label each end microwave cable
During site preparation, it is the customer's responsibility to label the end of each
microwave cable so that the installer can easily identify each cable and connect it
properly at installation.
Label each microwave cable at the baseband cabinet end as follows:
Microwave Ant 1
,
Microwave Ant 2
,
Microwave Ant 3
, etc.
