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.

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
. 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.
24 (158) # Nokia Siemens Networks DN70128475Issue 3-0 en17/06/2008
Creating 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 Connecting cabling for a 2+2+2configuration
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.

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.

Creating FCOA Configurations
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.

Configuration features
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.

For installation instructions for the System Extension Module, seeInstalling a System Extension Module (ESEA) in document Installing NokiaFlexi EDGE BTS Optional Items.
The figures below show how to connect the RF, bus and internal powercables. For other cables, see Connecting cabling for a 2+2+2configuration.
For detailed bus and power cabling rules for configurations having aSystem Extension Module, see Appendix Bus and internal power cablingprinciples for System Extension Module (ESEA).
Use an extension bus cable 994939 to connect the top (or farthest) DualTRX Module to the System Extension Module. For all other Dual TRXModule connections, use the standard bus cable 994938.
Two 994939 cables are provided in the System Extension Module delivery.Keep the other cable as a spare. It can be used to connect the SystemExtension Module to the System Module, or to connect another Dual TRXModule to the System Extension Module if required by 3rd party cabinetinstallations or if there are other special cable routing requirements.

Creating FCOA Configurations
E.8.6 1+1+1 or 2+2+2 IDD 4UD configuration in FCOA
To create a 1+1+1/2+2+2 DP 4UD configuration, you need the followingmodules:
. 1 System Module (ESMA)
. 1 transmission sub-module (FIxA)
. 6 Dual TRX Modules (EXxA)
. 6 Dual Duplexer Modules (ERxA)
You will also need 4 Upgrade Cable (EUCA) Kits (12 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 IDD configurations.
If you use 24 V DC or AC power, see section Common cabinetconfigurations for power module requirements.
The following figures show the module installation order and RF cabling.For all other cabling instructions, follow the instructions for a 4+4+4 2-way2UD configuration in FCOA.
In 1+1+1 IDD 4UD configurations, full RF cabling for 2+2+2 IDD 4UD isneeded to enable RF Cabling Auto-detection. It is also recommended forfuture expansion.
