Introduction
In a split Radio Base Station (RBS) architecture the typical RBS consists of a Base Band Unit (BBU) and Remote Radio
Heads (RRH) connected by cabling. Power to the RRH is provided through copper cables traveling from the base station
to the top of the tower or roof top. This creates a conductive path, making the active equipment at the top and the base of
the site vulnerable to damage by direct lightning strikes. Protection systems installed in front of both the BBU and the RRH
must be able to withstand direct lightning currents in order to protect the sensitive equipment. Raycap’s RRH solutions
featuring Strikesorb
®
SPD technology significantly enhance the reliability & availability of the RRH site by providing superior
electrical protection at the RRH and BBU. PowerPlus is Raycap’s solution for power transmission to the RRH units of a DAS
Telecommunication site. PowerPlus is a system installed at the PSU output that boosts the voltage at the base of a cellular site
to overcome the voltage drop on the DC power cables that provide power to the RRHs.
