1.4 Configurations

1.4.1 Overview

In the BSC6900 GU, the MPS or EPS can be either a GSM subrack or a UMTS subrack.Based on the TCS configuration, the BSC6900 GU supports three types of configuration modes: BM/TC combined, BM/TC separated, and A over IP. The system specifications vary according to the boards configured in the BSC6900 GU.The MPS and EPS are generally called basic module (BM), and the TCS is called transcoder (TC) for short. Table 1-16 describes the configuration modes of the BSC6900 GU based on the TCS configuration.

Table 1-1 Configuration modes of the BSC6900 GU

Configuration Mode Description Characteristic

BM/TC combinedThe BSC is not configured with the TCS. The boards that implement the TC functions are inserted into the slots in the MPS or EPS.

With the same capacity, less cabinets and less subracks are required in the BSC, thus increasing the hardware integration.

BM/TC separated

This mode is applicable to the scenario where the BSC is configured in a remote equipment room. In this mode, the BSC is configured with a separate TCS, which is placed in the TCR on the MSC side.

The TCS can be configured in the TCR on the MSC side, thus saving the transmission resources between the BSC and the MSC.

A over IP The BSC6900 GU is not configured with a TCS. The TC functions are implemented by the MGW.

The BSC is directly connected to the Huawei core network without a TC, thus reducing the CAPEX of the operator. In addition, the number of speech coding and decoding times is decreased to improve the speech quality. The A over IP mode meets the needs for network evolution.

Chapter 2 Survey Procedure

A precise, detailed and worthy survey not only is a solid basis of proper delivery but provides important data and reference for future engineering design/data setting and project construction. It can help reduce the blindness in the engineering, the waste at each step and the costs of the project and thus ensure high project efficiency and quality. After a survey, you can present useful improvement suggestions and solutions to the customer in an active way. You can also actively and effectively attend and observe the pre-work preparation to ensure its sufficiency. Therefore, the quality of the survey procedure is addressed for accurate and effective survey.The survey procedure here refers to the entire procedure from the time of receipt of a survey task to the completion of the survey. It covers making survey preparation, holding a survey coordination meeting, conducting primary installation environment check, filling out the survey report, reviewing the survey report, and filing documents.

2.1 Survey Preparation

An engineering survey usually starts the moment a contract is signed. The Survey Design Section appoints you to make an engineering survey after receiving an Engineering Survey Notification from a project manager. You are then in charge of the engineering survey. Get the relevant engineering information and make full preparation as follows prior to the site survey.

2.1.1 Getting Engineering Information

Contact the product manager and determine whether to hold a survey coordination meeting according to the demand. Get the contract information, engineering schedule and site preparation associated with the project. The contract information includes contract list, project responsibility checklist, networking topology, and technical proposals, including the size, product configuration and responsibility division of the project. The engineering schedule is determined under the negotiation between the project team and the customer geared to the whole project requirements. Design the survey schedule and arrangement in conjunction with the engineering schedule. The Engineering Survey Notification introduces the basic information about the site. Despite of that, confirm the customer's site survey conditions, cooperative engineers and vehicles and some other exceptions to be involved in the survey.

2.1.2 Preparing Documents

Prepare BSC6900 Installation Environment Checklist, BSC6900 Survey Report Template, Site Survey Memo (Template), and Contract Problem Feedback Form (Template). Download the previous engineering documents if the project is for expansion.

2.1.3 Preparing Tools and Instruments

Select tools according to the actual site situation.The common tools include laptop, DC, compass, distance meter, tape measure (4.5 m or above) and other necessary instruments.

2.2 Survey Coordination Meeting

The survey coordination meeting is an opportunity for Huawei's technical engineers to talk face-to-face with the customer's top management. This meeting will give the customer's management a basic, rough

2023-4-7 Huawei Technologies Proprietary 15

Page 24: BSC6900 Site Survey Design Guide-20110520-B-V1.3

BSC6900 Site Survey Design Guide Internal

and perceptual vision of the project and win their understanding of and support for the later survey work. At the meeting, confirm the detailed address including the room No., building name and road name of the equipment room and the traffic route to the equipment room with the opposite side. If possible, determine the exact survey time, get an authorization of access to the equipment room, and learn the customer's some other special survey requirements.The form of the coordination meeting varies from project to project. For a general project or if the customer is at a lower level, a small talk is enough. For a vital complicated project or if the customer is at a higher level, a technical conference or a meeting in other kinds is required.

2.3 Principles of Site Survey

The quality of site survey is critical for the entire survey work. Observe the following principles while you make a site survey:

1) Get the necessary site information. Make a preliminary design for the equipment room and draw a preliminary design sketch of the room.

2) The data retrieved through survey will be a basis of engineering design and delivery. Make an effective site communication with the customer to drive the customer to timely complete the pre-work preparation.

3) Be sure to output as elaborate and accurate as possible site survey data.

4) Determine together with the customer where to position equipment, how to route cables and which area to reserve for future expansion. Consult the customer for the involved data, such as the building parameters, the distance between equipment rooms, and the number of available optical fiber cores.

5) Carefully survey and record each item specified in the survey report rather than subjectively guess or assume it by experience.

2.4 Installation Environment Check

Make an installation environment check to ensure the basic equipment installation conditions. Fill out the Installation Environment Checklist. Send a copy of Preparation Guide for the Installation to the customer to guide the customer to make pre-installation preparation.

2.5 Filling Out Survey Report

Complete the site survey report and the installation environment checklist according to the site survey. Fill out the survey memo in any of the following cases:

1) The information of some offices is temporarily hard to determine in this survey.

2) Some supplementary instructions have been agreed on the engineering preparation.

3) You have some other matters to address.

Fill in the Contract Problem Feedback Form in case of any contract problem.

2.6 Reviewing Survey Report

The survey reviewers review the completed survey report and work report. In case of any improperness, they will return a feedback and you need to make modifications as required.

Chapter 3 Filling Out Survey Report

This chapter describes how to fill out BSC6900 Survey Report. The report contains the same content as listed in the survey report template. Each copy of survey report concerns only one office.BSC6900 Survey Report is an .xls form. It consists of cover, common office information, BSC6900 survey data and appendixes.

3.1 Cover

Fill in the contract business information, the survey report information, the customer information, and the survey party information. Ask the customer's contact person to confirm the customer information in the form of signature.

1) The contract business information includes the customer name, contract No., quotation No., and site name.

2) The survey report information includes the total number of pages in the survey report, the number of pages in the text, and the number of pages in the appendix. For survey and delivery reference, add the names of the offices that feature the same survey items.

3) The customer information includes the name, telephone, fax and email of the contact person on behalf of the customer, the name, detailed address and telephone of the equipment room, and the contact person's signature.

4) The survey party information includes the name, telephone and fax of the representative office, the name, telephone and email of the contact person on behalf of the representative office, the survey date, and the contact person's signature.

Caution:

The name, telephone, fax and email of the contact person on either side are mandatory in the electronic copy of the survey report to return to Huawei HQ. The person in charge of survey design or the product manager in the local office serves as the contact person on Huawei's side.

3.2 Common Office Information

Complete the global project catalog, the cabinet layout, and the survey of common materials.

3.2.1 Global Project Catalog

The global project catalog summarizes the basic information of each office involved in the project. Such information includes office name, original equipment type, new equipment type, quantity, project type, original configuration capacity, new configuration capacity, and survey phase. Table 4-1 lists the items.

Table 3-1 Items in global project catalogItem Description

surveyed in this round, is to be surveyed in the next round, has been surveyed in the previous round, and does not need to be surveyed

3.2.2 Cabinet Layout

The cabinet layout shows the position of the equipment in the floor plan. It helps the subsequent procedures like survey review and configuration to determine whether the survey contents (like side panel and base) are proper and complete.

Submit the equipment room floor layout plan and the cabling diagram as well as the survey report. The survey should be separate for each individual office, and so should the drawing. The drawing should comply with the drawing specifications of the engineering center. The requirements for the switching equipment room floor layout plan apply to the equipment room floor layout plan here. If you have any questions, please feel free to consult Huawei's contact person for site survey.

Reasonably determine the specific positions of cabinets through full consultation with the customer. The front and rear of the cabinets should be no less than 0.8 m away from a wall or other equipment. There should be a no less than 1m wide aisle in the equipment room. Furthermore, a certain area should be reserved as needed for future expansion. See Figure 4-1.

Figure 3-1 Cabinet layout requirements

If there is so large a quantity of equipment that you need to assign it to different rooms, give full consideration to the original cabling and prevent any conflict between the AC and DC power cables. With an eye on future expansion, assign the power supply cabinet as near as possible to the AC unit.

List any condition that has impact on later installation in the remarks area.

Clearly elaborate any matter not covered here as needed.

Warning:

Select the type of the cabinet to deliver first.Identify the new equipment in bold type and the original in italic type.Leave an empty cell between the cabinets that are not closely adjacent to each other and make a remark on the non-adjacency.

3.2.3 Survey of Common Materials

Normally all equipment share one Power Distribution Frame (PDF). If the contract requires Huawei to provide power busbars and PGND cables, make a survey of the power busbars for the PDF. The survey items include the power busbar cross section, the PGND cable cross section, the distance between the PDF and the DC power cabinet, and the distance between the PDF and the PGND bar.Calculate the required power busbar cross section using the following formula:

S=ΣI ·L / (K ·ΔU)Wherein,ΣI: Total current (A) in the conductorL: Length (m) of the conductor loop (distance x 2)ΔU: Voltage drop (V) in the conductor. It is normally 2.5 V.K: Electrical conductivity (K-copper = 57, K-aluminum = 34)Work out the result geared to the actual survey distance and the estimated long-term capacity, and then select appropriate power busbars accordingly.Normally the PGND cable cross section is the same as the power busbar cross connection. If otherwise, make a comment in the remarks area.The power busbars for the PDF are delivered in roll. By default, they include two –48V power cables (blue), two GND cables (black), and one PGND cable (green-and-white). (The PGND cable has a fixed cross section of 120 mm2). The corresponding connectors are also provided.

Warning:

Specify any special requirement for a special cable color or core diameter in the remarks area with a brief explanation.

3.3 BSC6900 Survey

3.3.1 Equipment Room Environment Survey

I. Installation Mode

When the BSC6900 was configured as GO or GU mode, if the TCS is remote must be surveyed. The distance between MPS’s SCU and main TCS’s SCU exceeds 10m, configure the TCS as the remote mode. The remote mode can save the transmission media resources, but the system load time will be longer.Four modes are available to install a cabinet: on an antistatic floor with support; on an antistatic floor without support; on a cement ground, and on other unconventional floors.

Caution:

If the equipment room is being decorated, get all details of the floor design and arrangement to prevent delivery error.

In the case of installation on an antistatic floor, measure the height of the antistatic floor. That is,

2023-4-7 Huawei Technologies Proprietary 20

Page 29: BSC6900 Site Survey Design Guide-20110520-B-V1.3

BSC6900 Site Survey Design Guide Internal

indicate the vertical distance between the ground and the upper surface of the antistatic floor. Be sure to measure in person the height at the point where to install the rack. If underfloor cabling is applied, check whether there is any cable or hole adverse to the installation below the cabinet position.

Figure 3-1 Height of antistatic floor

In the case of installation on a cement ground, ensure that the bearing capacity of the ground is enough. An BSC cabinet requires the ground to possess a bearing capacity of no less than 450 kg/m2.In the case of installation on the other unconventional floors, select Others from the Installation Mode list and make a comment in the remarks area.

II. Cabling Mode

Two modes are available for cabling, overhead cabling and underfloor cabling. Which mode to choose is up to the customer. If it is decided to route the trunk cables, clock cables, power busbars and Ethernet cables in different modes, indicate the cabling mode of the trunk cables here. Show the cabling modes of the other cables separately in the cabling diagram. In the case of overhead cabling, measure the height of the cabling rack. That is, indicate the vertical distance between the ground/floor and the cabling rack. Make sure that there is enough vertical space to erect the cabinet (N68E-22 is 2.2 m high).

h Indicates only the vertical distance between the cabinet top and the cabling rack. Cabling rack height = h + cabinet height

Figure 3-1 Position of installing rack

III. Net Height of the Equipment Room

The net height of the equipment room refers to the vertical distance between the ground/floor and the beam bottom. Make sure that it is sufficient to erect the cabinet.

IV. Side Door Quantity

Consult the list of contracts or those concerned to determine how many cabinets to install. If a PDF is involved, check whether the PDF is of the same type as a BSC cabinet because this impacts the number of required side panels.Determine the side door quantity on the principle that each row of cabinets needs 2 side doors. If it is decided to combine several cabinets of the same type in a row, no side door is required between the cabinets. For example, a single cabinet needs 2 side doors. Two separate cabinets of the same type require 4 side doors. Two combined cabinets demand 2 side doors. In the case of expansion, determine the quantity of the side doors as needed.

3.3.2 Power Distribution Cable Survey

The power distribution cables run from the DC PDF (distribution box) to the DC power supply of each rack. The BSC6900 cabinet with internal power distribution uses dual-2 Channels power supplies (2 channels 63A circuit breaker supplies power for the top subrack and 2 channels 100A circuit breaker for the other two subracks). Each cabinet has a fixed total number of nine power distribution cables, including four –48V power cables (blue), four GND cables (black), and one PGND cable (green-and-yellow). Each power distribution cable has a ready core end terminal at one end. At the other end, an OT terminal needs to be made on the site. If the peer connector type of power cable is dual-hole OT (eg. Latin America standard) or core end terminal (eg. Singapore Distribution), feed back the special requirement in Survey Report. The length of a power distribution cable is equal to the cabling distance between the DC PDF (distribution box) and the connected cabinet. Note that there is a difference of at least the cabinet height between the length required for overhead cabling and that required for underfloor cabling.

1. Core end terminal 2. OT terminal

Figure 3-1 –48V power cable/GND cable of BSC

A power distribution cable is available normally with two core diameters: 25 mm2 and 35 mm2. Calculate the required cross-sectional area of the power distribution cable using the following formula:

S=ΣI ·L / (K ·ΔU)Wherein,ΣI: Total current (A) in the conductor. It is normally 55 A for the BSC6900.L: Total length (m) of the conductor loop (distance x 2)ΔU: Voltage drop (V) in the conductor. It is normally 2.6 V unless otherwise specified.K: Electrical conductivity (K-copper = 57, K-aluminum = 34)Work out the required core diameter. If S exceeds 25 mm2, select 35mm2 power distribution cables.The calculation shows that the required core diameter varies with the length of the conductor loop between the PDF and the PDB of a cabinet. The 25mm2 cables apply when the length of the conductor loop is less than 65 m. The 35mm2 cables apply when the length of the conductor loop is greater than 65 m and less than 95m. If the length of the conductor loop is greater than 95m, the PDF should be installed near the BSC (satisfied the length of the conductor loop is less than 95m). If there is no PDF in the contract, the contract changing process must be considered.Specify any special requirement for a special power distribution cable color other than the default colors like blue, black and green-and-yellow in the remarks area.

3.3.3 LSZH Cables Requirement

LSZH cables are required by some European telecom operators. It stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen and describes a cable jacket material that is non-halogenated and flame retardant. This type of jacket material has excellent fire safety characteristics of low smoke, low toxicity and low corrosion. This type of cable jacket is used in inter-subrack cables (inter-SCU cables, inter-TNU cables, Y-shaped clock cables), shielded network cables, common straight-through network cables, trunk cables, optical fiber cables, and power cables, in order to protect people and equipment from toxic and corrosive gasses.

In surveying process, adopting the LSZH cables affects the quantity of cables of inter-SCU cables, inter-TNU cables, Y-shaped clock cables.

3.3.4 Trunk Cable Survey

I. About Trunk Cables

The BSC6900 supports three types of trunk cables: E1 75Ω coaxial cable, E1 120Ω twisted pair cable, and T1 120Ω twisted pair cable.Figure 4-5 shows the outline of an E1 75Ω coaxial trunk cable.

Figure 3-1 Outline of E1 75Ω coaxial cable

The purpose of a 75Ω coaxial cable is to transfer E1 trunk signals between an AEUa/PEUa/EIUa and the DDF or another NE.A 75Ω coaxial cable takes the 2 x 8 core structure. Every two coaxial cables form one group, and either of them contains 8 micro-coaxial cables. The 16 micro-coaxial cables in each group constitute 8 E1 transceiver systems.Figure 4-6 shows the outline of an E1 75Ω coaxial trunk cable (Y-Shaped).

The Y-shaped BSC 75Ω coaxial cable is a trunk cable. It is an optional configuration. The number of the Y-shaped 75Ωcoaxial cables to be installed depends on the site requirements. This cable is used to transmit E1 trunk signals. It connects the active/standby AEUa/PEUa/EIUa board to the DDF or other NEs.The Y-shaped 75Ω coaxial cable used in the BSC has two DB-44 connectors at one end and has a structure of 2 x 8 cores. That is, the 75-ohm coaxial cable is composed of two cables, each of which contains 8 micro coaxial cables. All of the 16 micro coaxial cables form eight E1 RX/TX linksSurvey the Y-shaped BSC 75Ω coaxial cable as the ordinary 75Ω coaxial cable.Figure 4-7 shows the outline of an E1 120Ω twisted pair cable.

The Y-shaped BSC 120Ω twisted pair cable is a trunk cable. It is an optional configuration. The number of the 120Ω twisted pair cables to be installed depends on the site requirements. This cable is used to transmit E1 trunk signals. It connects the active and standby AEUa/PEUa/EIUa boards to DDF or other NEs.Survey the Y-shaped BSC 120Ω twisted pair cable as the ordinary 120Ω twisted pair cable.A T1 100Ω twisted pair cable appears like an E1 120Ω twisted pair. It is largely used in North America. As the system has found few applications in the area up to now, Huawei has not released any specifications on the delivery of the T1 100Ω twisted pair cables. Specify any requirement for a T1 100Ω twisted pair cable in the remarks area.The 75Ω trunk cables normally fall into three categories according to the core diameter: 2.2mm cable, 3.4mm cable, and 3.9mm cable. By default, the 2.2 mm 75Ω trunk cables are delivered. The 120Ω trunk cables normally fall into two categories according to the core diameter: 0.4 mm cable and 0.5 mm cable. By default, the 0.4 mm 120Ω trunk cables are delivered. Specify any special requirement in the remarks area.

II. Length

Cable length (for overhead cabling): cable length inside the cabinet (3 m) + vertical distance between the cabinet top and the cabling rack + cabling distance along the cabling rack between the cabinet and the DDF + vertical distance between the DDF top and the cabling rack. See Figure 4-9. Measure each section of length, and sum these lengths up to get the required cable length.

3.3.5 Description of the Straight-Through Cables on the Ater Interface

When the BSC6900 was configured as GO or GU mode, Ater interface should be surveyed. If the straight-through cables between the BM and the TCS to be used on the Ater interface, the left grid should be marked. The number of required E1 cables is the half of the number of E1 cables when the DDF is used. The length is determined based on the requirements in the survey report.The length of a cable (upward cabling): The cabling length of the trunk cables in a cabinet (TCS) + distance between the top of the cabinet and the cable ladder * 2 + cabling distance on the cable ladder + the cabling length of the trunk cables in a cabinet (BM).The different distances should be measured that shown in the following figure. The total value is the length of a cable.

Figure 3-1 Straight-through cables on the Ater interface (upward cabling)

The length of a cable (downward cabling): The cabling length of the trunk cables in a cabinet (TCS) + distance between the cabinet and the floor * 2 + cabling distance on the cable ladder + the cabling length of the trunk cables in a cabinet (BM).The different distances should be measured that shown in the following figure. The total value is the length of a cable.

Figure 3-2 Straight-through cables on the Ater interface (downward cabling)

Note:

The straight-through cables on the Ater interface can be laid in different cabinets or in the same cabinet. For example, when the BMs and the TCSs are installed in the same cabinet, the length of the straight-through cables on the Ater interface is fixed. 2.2 m long cables are used to interconnect adjacent subracks in the same cabinet. 2.7 m long cables are used to interconnect interphase subracks in the same cabinet.

3.3.6 Optical Fiber Survey

For the BSC6900, the optical fiber survey refers to the survey of the patch cords for the Iub, Iu-CS, Iu-PS, Iur, Iu-BC, Abis, Ater, A and Pb interfaces.

2023-4-7 Huawei Technologies Proprietary 26

Page 35: BSC6900 Site Survey Design Guide-20110520-B-V1.3

BSC6900 Site Survey Design Guide Internal

Note:

A patch cord is the tail of an optical path. It consists of an optical tail and two end connectors.

I. Optical Fiber Type and Interface Type

The optical fibers fall into two types: single-mode fibers and multi-mode fibers. By default, the single-mode optical fibers are delivered.There are three common types of fiber connectors: SC/PC connectors, FC/PC connectors, and LC/PC connectors. The boards in the BSC6900 provide LC/PC ports to match LC/PC connectors. Therefore, each optical fiber for the BSC6900 has an LC/PC connector at one end. The type of the connector at the other end depends on the peer device (ODF or another NE). The BSC6900 is equipped with three types of optical fibers: LC/PC-LC/PC-single-mode/multi-mode optical fibers, LC/PC-FC/PC-single-mode/multi-mode optical fibers, and LC/C-SC/PC-single-mode optical fibers.Figure 4-13 shows the outline of an LC/PC-LC/PC-single-mode/multi-mode optical fiber.

Figure 3-1 Outline of LC/PC-LC/PC-single-mode/multi-mode optical fiber

Figure 4-14 shows the outline of an LC/PC-FC/PC-single-mode/multi-mode optical fiber.

Figure 3-2 Figure 4-10 Outline of LC/PC-FC/PC-single-mode/multi-mode optical fiber

Figure 4-15 shows the outline of an LC/PC-SC/PC-single-mode optical fiber.

Figure 3-3 Outline of LC/PC-SC/PC-single-mode optical fiber

If BSC6900 configured as GO or GU mode, the Ater interface should be surveyed. The Ater interface maybe connects directly between two racks, or connects by the ODF. If the Ater interface connects directly, the connector type is LC/PC. If connects by the ODF, the connector type is decided by the ODF’s type.

II. Survey of Patch Cords

Use single-mode optical fibers as patch cords for the Iub, Iu-CS, Iu-PS, Iur, Iu-BC, Abis, Ater, A and Pb interfaces, except when the peer devices require multi-mode optical fibers.The LC/PC-FC/PC single-mode optical fibers are available in the following standard lengths: 10 m, 15 m, 20 m, 25 m, 30 m and 50 m. The LC/PC-SC/PC single-mode optical fibers are available in the following standard lengths: 10 m, 15 m, 20 m, 25 m, 30 m and 50 m. The LC/PC-LC/PC single-mode optical fibers are available in the following standard lengths: 1.5 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m, and 30 m. The LC/PC-FC/PC multi-mode optical fibers are available in the following standard lengths: 10 m. The LC/PC-SC/PC multi-mode optical fibers are available in the following standard lengths: 10 m. The LC/PC-LC/PC multi-mode optical fibers are available in the following standard lengths: 5 m and 10 m.The quantity of the optical fibers depends on the list of contracts and the actual engineering demand.

III. Description of the Straight-Through Optical Fibers on the Ater Interface

If the straight-through optical fibers between the BM and the TCS are used on the Ater interface, mark the left grid, when the BSC6900 configured as GO or GU mode. The number of required optical fibers is the half of the number of E1 cables when the ODF is used. The length is determined based on the requirements in the survey report. The default length is 9.7m. For the survey length and quantity, refer to section 3.3.5 "Description of the Straight-Through Cables on the Ater Interface."

3.3.7 Optical Splitter Survey

An optical splitter is used for connecting the AOUa, UOIa, AOUc, POUc, or UOIc board to peer fibers, Optical Distribution Frame (ODF), or interconnection network element (NE). A maximum of 48 optical splitters/combiners can be installed in a subrack. The actual number is determined by site requirements. An optical splitter has LC/PC connectors at both ends. Optical fibers are classified into single-mode and multi-mode.

NOTE

1. Connect the end with two LC/PC connectors to the active and standby optical interface boards in the BSC, and the other end with one LC/PC connector to an NE at the peer end or ODF through a fiber adapter. The type of connector at the peer end depends on site requirements. 2. Use two optical splitters to work as a pair of optical fibers, and attach temporary labels to both ends of each fiber in the pair.

WARNING

The TX -and RX ends of each device must be connected correctly. Otherwise, -optical signals cannot be received or transmitted.

An optical splitter is a passive duplex component with three ends- and can split and combine optical signals.The following figure shows the exterior of -an optical splitter.

1. LC/PC connector 2. Optical Splitter3. Single/Multi-Mode Optical Fiber

Figure 3-1 Optical Splitter

NOTE

The dimensions (H x W x D) of an optical splitter are 9 mm x 90 mm x 16 mm (3.54 in. x 35.4 in. x 6.24 in.)The length of a single-mode or multi-mode optical cable is 1 meter, and the total length of an optical splitter is 2 meters.An optical splitter splits one input of optical signal to two at a ratio of 1:2.The insertion loss of a single-mode optical splitter, multi-mode optical splitter, and fiber adapter does not exceed 3.8 dB, 4.2 dB, and 0.3 dB, respectively.

BSC6900 Site Survey Design Guide Internal

During a survey, you need to take into account the loss of the optical power because insertion loss occurs in an optical splitter and fiber adapter. The loss of the optical power must meet the following condition: Original optical power loss + Insertion loss of the optical splitter + Insertion loss of the fiber adapter < Minimum output optical power of the optical module in the BSC – Maximum receive sensitivity of the optical module at the peer endThe following table lists the optical power and the receive sensitivity of the optical module in the BSC:

An optical splitter is required when the previous boards work in active/standby mode and transmission devices do not work in active/standby mode. The total length of an optical splitter is 2 meters. During a site survey, make the following decisions:

Whether optical splitters are required

Number of required optical splitters

Whether single-mode or multi-mode splitters are required

An optical combiner can combine two inputs of optical signals into one, as shown in Figure 3-2.

Figure 3-2 Operating principle for an optical combiner

An optical splitter can split one input of optical signal into two, as shown in Figure 3-3.

When an optical splitter is connected to other devices, a fiber adapter is required. No site survey is required for fiber adapters because they are selected and delivered based on the common optical fibers to be used in the live network.

3.3.8 Network Cable Survey

The Ethernet cables serve Ethernet transmission between devices. Each network cable has an RJ45 at either end. The BSC6900 is equipped with two types of Ethernet cables: shielded cables and unshielded cables. Figure 4-16 and Figure 4-17 show the outline of a shielded network cable and that of an unshielded network cable.

Figure 3-1 Outline of shielded network cable

Figure 3-2 Outline of unshielded network cable

Shielded Ethernet is used under IP networking delivered by defining length. Use unshielded Ethernet cables (ordinary Ethernet cables) to connect the SCUa boards and OM networking.

I. Survey of Shielded Ethernet Cables for IP interface boards

When the interface board is used for IP networking, shielded Ethernet should be surveyed. Specific RJ45 connector is used for shielded Ethernet and is ready before delivery. Survey the length and quantity of each interface according to actual networking.

Caution:

The connectors of the shielded Ethernet cables are made using a special tool and are difficult to prepare on the site. Therefore, be sure to make an accurate survey of the shielded cables. In case of any error, Huawei has only to make a redelivery.

II. Survey of Ordinary Unshielded Ethernet Cables

The ordinary unshielded Ethernet cables are delivered in rolls and connectors should be made on sites. The ordinary unshielded Ethernet can find use in many applications. They connect the inter-SCUa boards between subracks. They connect OMUa boards to the customer's switch. They connect the LMTs to the customer's LAN. They link the BSC6900 with the M2000 with a maintenance WAN. When you doing the survey, the length of Ethernet cables is the sum of all scenarios (for the newly deployed BSC, the interconnecting straight through cables between SCUa boards in MPR cabinet are not included.).In consideration of shrinkage, leave a margin of 15% of the required quantity of the RJ-45 connectors and 20% of the required network cable length.In the BSC6900, the SCUa boards in the MPS and those in the EPS(s) are interconnected through

2023-4-7 Huawei Technologies Proprietary 31

BSC6900 Site Survey Design Guide Internal

unshielded Ethernet cables. The SCUa boards are connected in a star mode. The unshielded Ethernet cables connect the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports of the SCUa boards in the MPS with the corresponding 10/100/1000BASE-T ports of the SCUa boards in each EPS. The SCUa boards in different EPSs are not connected with one another.When a new BSC is established, if only there is a MPR cabinet, it is not necessary to survey the network cables. In the case of capacity expansion or the new BSC has other cabinets, all the cables of 2.2 m, 2.7 m, and 9.7 m should be surveyed.

Caution:

The MPS is installed with the OMU board. The survey of the inter-SCUa unshielded straight through cables in the MPS is not required. The EPS subrack has no OMU board. The survey of the inter-SCUa unshielded straight through cables is required.

For the newly deployed BSC, the survey of the EPS cables in the MPR is not required, because the cables are fully configured by default. For an expanded BSC cabinet, if the EPS is added in the MPR, the corresponding survey is required.

In RAN11 and later versions, straight through cables are used to interconnect the SCUs between subracks.

Figure 4-18 shows how to connect the SCUa boards in the MPS and those in an EPS.

3.3.9 SFP+ High-Speed Cables Survey

The SFP+ high-speed cables were used to connect SCUb board between different subracks. When a single cabinet BSC is established, it is not necessary to survey the SFP+ high-speed cables. In case of capacity expansion or establish a multiple cabinets BSC, the cables should be surveyed. The cable of 3 m is used for the connection two subracks in the same cabinet. The cable of 10 m is used for the connection between subracks in different cabinets. The follow figure shows how to connect SFP+ high-speed cables in single cabinet.

3.3.10 Corrugated PVC Tube/PVC Trough Survey

Protect the optical fibers outside the cabinet with a corrugated PVC tube. In the case of overhead cabling, enclose the length of optical fibers between the cabinet top and the cabling rack in a corrugated PVC tube. In the case of underfloor cabling, enclose the whole length of optical fibers outside the cabinet in a corrugated PVC tube. The corrugated PVC tube is an insulation material-fireproof corrugated PVC tube-Φ40 or Φ25. The Φ40 corrugated PVC tube can accommodate as many as 54 patch cords. And the Φ25 corrugated PVC tube can accommodate as many as 10 patch cords. By default the Φ40 corrugated PVC tube is delivered. The corrugated PVC tube does not need to be quoted. Measure the length required for each cabinet, and sum these lengths up to get the total required length. Consider a certain margin during this survey. The purpose of a PVC trough is to protect the alarm signal cables routed upward or downward along a wall. The length of the PVC troughs depends on the length of the signal cables routed along a wall (each PVC trough is 2 m long). Consider a certain margin during this survey.

3.3.11 Surveying Inter-TNU Cables

If the BSC6900 configured as GO or GU mode, the TNU cables should be surveyed. TNU crossover cables are used to connect BSC6900 TNU subracks.Generally, TNU crossover cables for new BSCs are delivered after pre-installation. Cables that connect

2023-4-7 Huawei Technologies Proprietary 35

Page 44: BSC6900 Site Survey Design Guide-20110520-B-V1.3

BSC6900 Site Survey Design Guide Internal

TNUs in the same subrack do not need to be surveyed. But these cables must be surveyed for BSC expansion projects.LSZH cables that are required by the telecom operators in European regions must be surveyed no matter whether they are used for new BSC projects or expansion projects. The length and quantity must be recorded in the survey report.

Note:

Install cables in subracks orderly. The central subrack is the subrack that is at the bottom of the first cabinet.

I. Introduction to the Cable

The Inter-TNU Cables are used for full interconnection between the BSC6900 TNUs of a BM cabinet or a TC cabinet.The follow figure shows the appearance of the Inter-TNU Cables.

The standard lengths of the Inter-TNU Cables are 2.2 m, 2.7 m, and 9.7 m. The length and quantity of the Inter-TNU Cables are determined based on the site survey.

II. How to Calculate the Length and Quantities

Select the length of the Inter-TNU Cable according to the following:The 2.2 m cables are for the interconnection between TNUs of adjacent subracks

within a cabinet.The 2.7 m cables are for the interconnection between TNUs of non-adjacent subracks

within a cabinet.The 9.7 m cables are for the interconnection between TNUs of two different cabinets.

When a new BSC is established, if only there is a MPR cabinet, it is not necessary to survey the inter-TNU cables. In the case of capacity expansion or the new BSC has other cabinets, all the cables of 2.2 m, 2.7 m, and 9.7 m should be surveyed.Figure 3-14 shows the 2.2 m cabling between TNUs of adjacent subracks within a cabinet.

The MPS connects to the TCS through the ATER interface without the TNU interconnection.

Note:

To enhance the system reliability and increase the interconnection bandwidth globally, the full interconnection module is used for the TNU boards between the BSC6900 subracks. If n subracks are fully interconnected, the quantity of cables for interconnection is n (n-1).

3.3.12 Clock Cable Survey

I. Survey of Y-Shaped Clock Cables

Overview of Y-Shaped Clock Cables

The Y-shaped clock cables are mandatory for the BSC6900. They transfer location information and synchronous clock signals from the GCUa boards in the MPS to the SCUa boards in the EPS(s). The GCUa boards and the SCUa boards in the MPS are already connected through the backplane. Therefore, no Y-shaped cable is required between them. Figure 3-27 shows the outline of a Y-shaped cable.

Caution:

The MPS is installed with the OMU board. The survey of the Y-shaped cables in the MPS is not required. The EPS subrack has no OMU board. The survey of the Y-shaped cables is required.

For the newly deployed BSC, the survey of the EPS cables in the MPR is not required, because the cables are fully configured by default. For an expanded BSC cabinet, if the EPS is added in the MPR, the corresponding survey is required.

Length

The Y-shaped clock cables are delivered ready made. They are available in three fixed lengths: 2.2 m, 2.7m, and 9.7 m. If a required length is greater than 9.7 m, enter the actual required length in the form. Use 2.2m cables to connect the MPS and the neighboring EPS within the MPR. Use 2.7m cables to connect the MPS and the non-neighboring EPS within the MPR. Use 9.7m cables to connect the MPS and the EPS(s) in the EPR, if any combined with the MPR. See Figure 3-29. When a new BSC is established, if only there is a MPR cabinet, it is not necessary to survey the Y-shaped clock signal cables. In the case of capacity expansion or the new BSC has other cabinets, all the cables of 2.2 m, 2.7 m, and 9.7 m should be surveyed.

The length of a line clock cable is equal to the cabling distance between a line clock interface board and the connected GCUa. If the line clock interface boards and the GCUa boards are within the same subrack (for example, MPS), they communicate through the backplane and no line clock cable is required between them.Each line clock cable has a ready SMB connector at one end. At the other end, a fitted SMB connector needs to be attached on the site.

3.3.13 GPS Antenna Feeder Survey

Skip this survey if the contract does not cover a GPS.The GPS antenna feeder signals travel through the lightning arrester and an RF cable to the ANT terminal on the panel of a GCGa boards (a clock board with a GPS satellite card) and then to the GPS satellite card. After processed by the GPS satellite card, the signals are then distributed to the system.Table 3-5 lists the available types of feeders.

Enter the actual required GPS feeder length in the form. The length determines whether to use a 1/2", 7/8", or 5/4" feeder. Use a 1/2" feeder if the length is less than 100 m. Use a 7/8" coaxial cable if the length is between 100 m and 300 m. Use a 5/4" coaxial cable if the length is greater than 300 m. The Order Configuration Department will deliver the appropriate types of feeders, jumpers and coaxial connectors according to the actual required length. There are two types of window of the feeder: 7/8" and 5/4". 7/8" feeder window is corresponding to 1/2" and 7/8" feeders; and 5/4" feeder window is corresponding to 5/4" feeders. According to the actual situation, tell whether to use a feeder window. If the window of the feeder is not supplied by the customer, it should be surveyed to be delivered. The Order Configuration Department will deliver the appropriate type of feeder window. If the customer already supplies the window of the feeder, please confirm that the type of the window of the feeder is corresponding to the type of the feeders.

3.3.14 Alarm Box Cable Survey

The alarm box cables consist of power cables and signal cables. They have two connection options. One is to connect them with the BAM servers. The other is to connect them with the alarm console of the M2000. Select one of them according to the actual situation and customer demand.

I. Signal cable

The alarm signals are retrieved from the BAM servers or the terminal serial ports through RS-232 cables. An RS-232 cable is normally 20 m long, and at most 100 m long. Figure 3-32 shows the outline of an alarm signal cable.

Figure 3-1 Outline of alarm signal cable

II. Power cable

The alarm box supports two power inputs 220V AC and –48V DC.If it is decided to use the DC power input, lead a special power cable from the BSC6900 to the special trough of the alarm box. The power cables are available in a standard length of 30 m. The alarm signal cables are available in a standard length of 30 m to 60 m. Enter the actual required length in the form. If a required length is greater than the standard length, the Order Configuration Department will

BSC6900 Site Survey Design Guide Internal

deliver an additional length.If it is decided to use the AC power input, use a default 6m-long AC power cable. Normally no additional length is available. If the alarm box is more than 6 m away from the AC power source, add a socket near the alarm box. Make a survey of the alarm signal cables. Judge the required alarm cable length according to the cabling distance. Note that the alarm cables cannot be routed together with AC power cables and other interference sources.It is recommended to use the 220V AC power input.

III. Others

Make a survey of the other alarm box accessories, such as PVC protection trough. The PVC protection trough is used to protect the alarm signals below the floor. In the case of underfloor cabling, it is acceptable not to enclose the whole length of alarm cables in a PVC protection trough. The length routed upward or downward along a wall can be packed in PVC protection troughs, 2 m in each trough. The PVC will not deliver any more, if need PVC, please purchase it.Make a survey of the alarm box cables if the BSC6900 is separately delivered. Skip this survey if it is decided to deliver the BSC6900 together with the M2000. In the latter case, the survey of the alarm box cables is concurrent with that of the M2000.

3.3.15 Survey of LMT
