Overview
This chapter provides the procedures to prepare the BTS site cabling for
sites equipped with the optional Primary Surge Suppressor. Chapter 6
shows the scope of work for unit cabling.
You will connect the cables to the site and route them to the location of
the BTS. You will attach the cables to the unit during the unit cabling
procedures in Chapter 6.

Cabling is one of the most noticeable aspects of
workmanship. Straight runs and proper turns are critical for
a positive evaluation of the work.
