2.2 Cabling principles

2.2.1 Cabling principles in FCOA installation

In cabinet installations, cables are routed along the sides of the cabinet.Excess cabling should be tied to clamps.

Caution

Route the cables for each module so that they do not interfere withinstallation or removal of other modules.

Caution

Do not overbend cables. The minimum bending radius for the cables islisted in Appendix Bending radius for cables.

Caution

Standing on the door may cause the door to buckle. Do not climb on thecabinet door to access the roof.

For easier maintenance and future expansion, it is recommended that allexternal cables are routed on the right side and only internal bus andpower cables are routed on the left side.

There are three possible lead-throughs on top of the cabinet: one oneach side, and one in the back.

If you are using the lead-through in the back of the cabinet, firstremove the rubber lead-ins on the inside of the cabinet to uncoverthe cable entry screws.

2. Place the lower half of the cable entry on the lead-through andfix with screws.

3. Route the cables in the cabinet.

Power cables must be routed through cable clamps to reduce strainon the cables. Cable clamps and screws are included in the sitepack.

4. Fix the power cables with cable clamps.

5. Fix the other cables with cable ties.

6. Place the upper half of the cable entry on top of the lower one,fixing the cables to their places.

Fix with screws.

2.2.4 Bus and internal power cabling principles for System Module(ESMA)

The following main principles for bus and internal power cabling apply toall Dual Duplexer Module (ERxA) configurations which do not use SystemExtension Module (ESEA). This refers to configurations having 12 carriers(6 Dual TRX Modules, EXxA) or less.

. For stack and cabinet configurations, Dual TRX Modules should benumbered 1 to 6 from bottom to top. The bus and power connectionports used on the System Module (ESMA) should match the DualTRX Module number.

. If less than six Dual TRX Modules are used, the BUS and PWRcabling should be optimised for future expansion. For example, if theconfiguration is a 2+2+2 bypass 2UD, EXxA BUS cables should beconnected to BUS 1, 3, and 5 on the System Module (numberingfrom bottom to top). BUS 2, 4, and 6 are left unused until expansionto 4+4+4. The same rule applies to PWR cables. This reduces theamount of cabling work needed during expansion.

DN70128475Issue 3-0 en17/06/2008

# Nokia Siemens Networks 23 (158)

Overview

Page 24: 130873281 flexi-edge-fcoa-configurations

. In wall configurations, numbering should be from 1 to 6 from bottomto top, with the lower number for each plinth corresponding to theDual TRX Module closest to the wall (the Dual TRX Moduleconnected directly to the plinth).

. In pole configurations, the Dual TRX Module closest to the SystemModule should correspond with port 1 for PWR and BUS on theSystem Module. The farther away the module, the higher thecorresponding connector port on the System Module.

For detailed instructions and cabling pictures, see the instructions forcreating a 2+2+2 bypass 2UD or 4+4+4 2-way 2UD configuration.

2.2.5 Bus and internal power cabling principles for System ExtensionModule (ESEA)

The following main principles for bus and internal power cabling apply toconfigurations requiring a System Extension Module (ESEA):

. all configurations having a Remote Tune Combiner Module (ECxA),and

. all configurations having a Dual Duplexer Module with 13-24 carriers(7-12 Dual TRX Modules (EXxA)).

Bus and internal power cabling principles:

. Make sure to connect a bus cable from BUS OUT on the SystemModule (ESMA) to BUS IN on the System Extension Module.

. Connect all Dual TRX Module bus cables to the System ExtensionModule.

. Connect all Remote Tune Combiner Module bus cables to theSystem Module.

. For Remote Tune Combiner Module configurations, the Dual TRXModule numbering should be from 1-9 from bottom to top. TheRemote Tune Combiner Module numbering should be from 1-3 fromlowest to highest. Module bus and power cables must be connectedto the System Module or System Extension Module, as specified inTable Bus and power cabling rules for ECxA configurations.

Page 25: 130873281 flexi-edge-fcoa-configurations

. For Dual Duplexer Module configurations, Dual TRX Modulenumbering should be 1-12 from bottom to top. Connect the modulebus and power cables to the System Module or System ExtensionModule port, as specified in Table Bus and power cabling principlesfor ERxA configurations.

. Use an extension bus cable 994939 to connect the top (or farthest)Dual TRX Module to the System Extension Module. For all otherDual TRX Module connections, use the standard bus cable 994938.

Two 994939 cables are provided in the System Extension Moduledelivery. Keep the other cable as a spare. It can be used to connectthe System Extension Module to the System Module, or to connectanother Dual TRX Module to the System Extension Module ifrequired by 3rd party cabinet installations or if there are other specialcable routing requirements.

The following tables show to which ESMA and ESEA BUS and PWRconnectors the cables from each EXxA and ECxA must be connected.

4.1 Connecting 48 V DC power feed to the SystemModule or System Extension Module in FCOAinstallation

Purpose

Route the external power cables first through the cable entry, then throughthe white plastic cable clamp, which is at the top of the cabinet.

The allowed 48 V DC cable cross-section size for the System Module(ESMA) and System Extension Module (ESEA) is 21-35 mm2 (0.82-1.37sq. in. or 4-2 AWG). The System Module and System Extension Moduleare delivered with lugs to fit a cross-section of 25-35 mm2 (0.98-1.37 sq.in.). Rubber boots are also included in the delivery to accommodate thevarious cable sizes.

Nokia Siemens Networks permits the lugs to be used for all allowed DCcable sizes. If the DC cable used is 21-24 mm2 (0.82-0.94 sq. in.), lugsmay need to be sourced locally depending on user requirements.

Flexi EDGE BTS delivery includes lugs that can be used on cables with across section of 25-35 mm2 (4-2 AWG or 0.98-1.37 in2). When the DCcable thickness is 25 mm2 (4 AWG or 0.98 in2) or less, Nokia SiemensNetworks recommends to locally source the exact lug sizes.

. the System Module (ESMA) is installed,

. Flexi Power Module (FPMA) or Flexi Power DC/DC 24 V Module(s)(FPDA) are installed, if 24 VDC or AC input power is used, and

. the mains breaker is off.

Nokia Siemens Networks recommends that the System Module (ESMA)and System Extension Module (ESEA) have separate fused DC input linesfrom the external power source for safety reasons. The rubber bootsprovided in the System Module and System Extension Module deliveriesare only allowed for use with single DC cables. Fault investigation is alsoeasier with separate DC lines.

If separate fused DC lines are not available for the System Module andSystem Extension Module, the DC lines can be chained. If chaining isused, one double rubber boot (822862) per chained power terminal isrequired for safety and must be ordered as a spare part. For an example ofDC chaining, see Installing Flexi Power DC/DC Module 24V (FPDA) indocument Installing Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS Optional Items.

Steps

1. Route the Flexbus Jumper cable through the cable entry andconnect the Flexbus Jumper cable to FIFA, Flexbus 1 interface.

Caution

Incorrect cables and seals may not provide secured environmentalprotection. Use only tested IP55 class cables with seals provided byNokia Siemens Networks.

Note that Flexbus cables do not have IP boots because theconnector provides adequate environmental protection.

2. Connect the Flexbus Jumper cable to Flexbus cable (from theoutdoor unit).

3. Add weatherproof protection tape on the Flexbus Jumper Cableand Outdoor Flexbus cable connection.

The weatherproof tape should overlap at least 20 mm beyond theconnectors, as indicated in the Figure Connecting transmissioncables, picture 3.

4. If you have Flexbus 2 in use, repeat the steps and connect theJumper cable to Flexbus 2 interface.

Tip

If you do not use Flexbus 2 interface, make sure that the rubber cap onthe Flexbus 2 interface is in place.

Note

When Flexbus 2 is in use, a licence is needed. Always inform NetworkOperations Center if Flexbus 2 is used without a valid licence.

Flexbus 2 interface can be taken into use with a time-limited licence(60 days). The time-limited licence cannot be renewed, but must bereplaced with a non-time limited licence.

Appendix C Configuration features

C.1 Flexi EDGE BTS configuration features

C.1.1 RF Cable Auto-detection

The Flexi EDGE Base Station supports automatic RF Cable Auto-detection during commissioning for common configurations. RF CableAuto-detection reduces integration time because RF cabling does notneed to be manually defined.

For a description of RF Cable Auto-detection, see Auto-detection of SiteConfiguration and RF Cable Auto-detection in the Nokia Flexi EDGE BTSFeature Descriptions document.

For information on supported configurations, see RF auto-detectionsupported configurations in the Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS Commissioningdocument.

C.1.2 Optimised configurations

Upgrade-optimised configurations

In upgrade-optimised configurations, odd-number sectors (such as 1+1, 3+3+3, 5+5) are built like the next even-numbered configurations. Forexample, a 1+1 configuration is built like a 2+2 configuration, although thesite is operational as a 1+1. This allows easy future expansion withreduced downtime. A site visit may not be needed for expansion.

RF Cable Auto-detection is supported with upgrade-optimisedconfigurations.

For examples of RF cabling in upgrade-optimised configurations, seefigures Example of a 1+1 upgrade-optimised configuration with Rxdiversity below and RF cables in 1+1+1/2+2+2 bypass 2UD configurationin section Connecting RF cables.

The dotted line indicates that the cable is installed but it is not in use.

Figure 34. Example of a 1+1 upgrade-optimised configuration with Rx diversity

Cost-optimised configurations

In cost-optimised configurations, the Dual TRX Module (EXxA) carriers (Aand B) are split into separate cell areas. Only pairs of odd-numberedconfigurations can be cost-optimised (such as 1+1, 3+3). Cost-optimisedconfigurations minimise the number of modules and are not recommendedif future expansion is possible at the site.

RF Cable Auto-detection supports cost-optimised configurations.

For an example of RF cabling in cost-optimised configurations, see figuresRX cables in a cost-optimised 3+3 configuration and TX cables in a cost-optimised 3+3 configuration in section 3+3 2-way 2UD cost-optimisedconfiguration.

Antenna-optimised configurations

Antenna-optimised configurations allow the Dual Duplexer Module (ERxA)sides A and B to be split into separate cell areas. This minimises thenumber of antennas.

A sector must have two or more antennas to support Rx diversity, as Rxdiversity is not supported across BTS cells.

RF Cable Auto-detection supports antenna-optimised configurations withone exception: a BCF reset is needed instead of a sector reset, if anychanges to RF cabling are made during runtime.

RxAO-RxAI is pre-installed.

C.1.3 Antenna sharing (co-siting)

The Dual Duplexer Module (ERxA) can be configured to share the Rxdiversity signal between Flexi EDGE BTS and an external BTS (or otherreceiver).

For details, see Dual Duplexer Module (ERxA) Description.

C.1.4 Internal switching to 4-way uplink diversity (4UD)

Flexi EDGE BTS uses an internal switch to designate configurations as 2-way uplink diversity (2UD) or 4-way uplink diversity (4UD). The switch isbased on the Site Configuration File (SCF):

. If RxDivA/B connectors are not defined as in use in the SCF, theswitch is set to 2UD.

. If RxDivA/B connectors are defined as in use in the SCF, the switchis set to 4UD.

The Site Configuration Files are used for commissioning the Flexi EDGEBTS. For details, see Nokia Flexi EDGE BTS Commissioning.

The RxDivA/B connectors on the Dual TRX (EXxA) Module are also usedfor configurations which require splitting a Dual TRX Module into separatecell areas (such as cost-optimised configurations, 1+3).

For details about the Dual TRX Module connectors, see Dual TRX Module(EXxA) Description.

C.2 Mixed Remote Tune Combiner (ECxA) and Dual Duplexer Module(ERxA) configurations

Configurations with a mix of Remote Tune Combiner (ECxA) and DualDuplexer Module (ERxA) sectors are allowed. In these configurations,BUS and PWR cabling should follow table Bus and internal power cablingin mixed Remote Tune Combiner and Dual Duplexer Moduleconfigurations. The table shows to which ESMA and ESEA BUS and PWRconnectors the cables from each EXxA and ECxA must be connected.

A maximum of two Remote Tune Combiner Modules and nine DualDuplexer Modules are allowed per site in mixed Remote Tune Combinerand Dual Duplexer Module configurations. For RF cabling instructions,follow the appropriate instructions for each sector.

E.1 4+4+4 2-way 2UD configuration in FCOA

For creating this configuration, you need:

. 6 Dual TRX Modules (EXxA)

. 3 Dual Duplexer Modules (ERxA)

. 1 System Module (ESMA)

. 6 Wideband Combiner Submodules (EWxx)

. 1 Flexi Cabinet for Outdoor (FCOA)

. If 24V DC or AC power is used, see module installation order inOptional power modules (FPDA and FPMA) in Flexi EDGE BTSconfigurations in document Installing Nokia Flexi EDGE BTSOptional Items.

The following figures show the module installation order and cabling forthis configuration. For detailed instructions on how to install the cabinetand install and cable the modules, see document Installing Flexi Cabinetfor Outdoor (FCOA) and sections Installing the modules for a 2+2+2configuration and Connecting cabling for a 2+2+2 configuration in thisdocument.

Note that the air guide plate is required if the System Module or SystemExtension Module are installed in the vertical left rack. Otherwise, usedummy panels in the empty slots.

The System Module can be installed horizontally or vertically as shown inthe figures below. Vertical installation is recommended if you are going toexpand to an 8+8+8 configuration later.

E.8.4 3 DP 2UD or 4UD configuration in FCOA

A 3 DP 2UD configuration uses 3 antennas and a 3 DP 4UD uses 4antennas.

To create a 3 DP configuration, you will need the following modules:

. 1 System Module (ESMA)

. 1 transmission sub-module (FIxA)

. 3 Dual TRX Modules (EXxA)

. 2 Dual Duplexer Modules (ERxA)

. 3 DP Wideband Combiner Sub-modules (EWxA)

For a 3 DP 4UD configuration, you will also need 2 Upgrade Cable (EUCA)Kits (6 cables).

Note that the effect of using the EUCA Kit for Tx cabling is 0.7 dB with highband, and 0.45 dB with low band. Nokia Siemens Networks recommendsonly using the EUCA cables for Rx cabling in DP configurations.

Double Power TRX (DP TRX) is a licence-based application softwareproduct. The licence file must be installed in the BSC before activating thesite.

If you use 24 V DC or AC power, see section Common cabinetconfigurations for power module requirements.

The figures below show the module installation order and DP and RFcabling. For all other cabling instructions, see the instructions for creating a4+4+4 2-way 2UD configuration in FCOA.
