2.5.1 Antennas
A variety of antennas can be connected to the Remote Unit via short coaxial cables. The choice of
antenna will depend on the service requirement within the operational bandwidth of the system. Up to
8dBi antenna gain is permitted according to the regulatory approvals for the system.
It is important to ensure that any installed antennas meet the Tx/Rx isolation requirements and that
they are installed in accordance with all relevant safety and exposure regulations. Typically at least
40dB and ideally 50dB isolation is required between the Tx and Rx antennas to avoid downlink signals
interfering with the uplink.
2.6 Fiber Patch Cords
Duplex SC-APC/SC-APC type fiber connectors are used on the Optical Module, Secondary Hub and
Remote Unit. The system uses a laser in the transmit direction and photodiode in the receive direction.
UNItivity 5000 is intended to be deployed with Single-mode fiber infrastructure. Zinwave supplies
various fiber patch cords with the correct duplex SC-APC/SC-APC terminations for the Zinwave
UNItivity equipment, and other optical connectors as required to match the installed infrastructure. The
Duplex SC-APC/SC-APC connectivity is shown below:
The TIA 568 color code for connector bodies and/or boots is Beige for Multimode fiber, Blue for Single
mode UPC fiber connector, and Green for Single mode SC-APC (angled polished) connectors.
