INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
RCMDC-6627-PF-48
WARNING: Do not stare into the laser beam or view it directly with optical instruments even if the interface
has been disabled.
1.
If the fiber-optic cable connector is covered by a rubber safety cap, remove the cap. Save the cap.
2. If the optical transceiver is covered by a rubber safety cap, remove the cap. Save the cap.
3.
Prior to connecting the fiber to the device, clean it using proper industry accepted cleaning methods.
4. Insert the cable connector into the optical transceiver.
5. Secure the cables so that they are not supporting their own weight. Place excess cable out of the way in
a neatly coiled loop. Placing fasteners on a loop helps cables maintain their shape.

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, and also enable
flexible fiber optic and power cable management solutions.
