Routing and bundling cables according to regulations guarantees the reliable transmission of
signals.
4.8.1 Cabling
When routing cables, ensure that signals are transmitted reliably, and also ensure that future
maintenance is easy.
The cabling requirements are as follows:
l Signal cables should be routed separately from power cables, fiber jumpers, and jumpers.
l The specifications and cross-sectional area of the cable, and the route and position for the
cabling should be designed beforehand. All the cables should be arranged neatly.
l Cable turns should be smooth. The bending radius of cable turns should be larger than 60
mm, and the bending radius of fiber turns should be larger than 40 mm.
l There should be no damage to the insulating layer of the conducting wire.
l Cables that are routed along the wiring frame must be bundled.
They should be bundled closely with appropriate tightness. The spacing between cable ties
should be even.
l Cables in troughs do not need to be bundled. They should be placed neatly and in a straight
manner without any crossover. The cables should not protrude from the trough. The cables
should be bundled with cable ties at the inlets, outlets, and at the turns of the trough.
l IDU cables should be routed along the left and the right to facilitate operations, and should
not cover the board indicators.
In other words, the cables of the boards in the left slots should be routed to the left of the
cabinet and those in the right slots should be routed to the right of the cabinet.
l Leave enough slack when connecting cables to the IDU to facilitate insertion and removal
of the boards and the fan box. In the case of the IDU 620, the cables of the boards on the
left should have enough slack so that they can be routed away from the front of the fan box.
4.8.2 Bundling
Cables must be tightly bundled. The bundled cables should be neatly arranged.
The bundling requirements are as follows:

l Do not bind the power cable with other types of cables.

l The cables should be bundled neatly.
l Use cable ties of different specifications according to actual circumstances.
l Do not connect two or more cable ties and use them as one to bundle cables in case the
tightness is reduced.
l After the cable ties are fixed, the extra part of the cable ties should be trimmed such that
no burrs exist.
l The spacing between the cable ties should be even and should be three or four times the
diameter of the bundle.
l When making turns for bundled cables, ensure that the bending radius is as large as possible
so that the cable cores do not break.
Figure 4-17 Bundling cables
3 4
3-4
1. No cable tie at turns 2. Cable tie 3. Burr 4. Trimmed : Correct bundling : Wrong bundling
4.8.3 Bundling Fiber Jumpers

Use a special binding strap to bundle fiber jumpers.
Observe the following requirements when bundling fiber jumpers:
l Arrange fiber jumpers tidily into a bundle before bundling them.

l Ensure that the mat side, and not the hook side, of the binding strap is in contact with the
fiber jumpers.
l Bundle fiber jumpers with appropriate tightness. Do not bind them too tightly.
l The spacing between two binding straps should not exceed 40 cm.
l Do not bundle too many fiber jumpers together.
In the case of the 2 mm fiber jumpers, a maximum of 100 pieces can be bound together. In
the case of the 3 mm fiber jumpers, a maximum of 60 pieces can be bound together. If there
are a large number of fiber jumpers, bind them into several bundles.

7 Installing the ODU with the Waveguide

Interface
About This Chapter
The ODU with the waveguide interface includes 738 GHz ODUs. Such an ODU is installed
on an antenna in the integrated mounting mode or is connected to an antenna through a flexible
waveguide. When you install such an ODU, adopt proper installation procedures depending on
the configuration between the ODU and the antenna.
7.1 Introduction to the ODU
The ODU is the outdoor unit of the OptiX RTN 600. The ODU converts and amplifies signals.
7.2 Installing One ODU on One Single-Polarized Antenna (Integrated Mounting)
In this case, use four latches to directly mount an ODU on the back of a single-polarized antenna.
7.3 Installing Two ODUs on One Single-Polarized Antenna (Integrated Mounting)
In this case, install two ODUs on the back of a single-polarized antenna by using a hybrid coupler.
7.4 Installing One ODU on One Single-Polarized Antenna (Separate Mounting)
The ODU can be installed separate from the single-polarized antenna. In this case, the ODU is
installed onto an ODU adapter, which is connected to the single-polarized antenna through a
flexible waveguide.
7.5 Installing ODUs on One Dual-Polarized Antenna
Installing ODUs on one dual-polarized antenna is similar to installing one ODU on one single-
polarized antenna in the separate mounting mode. The difference between the two methods lies
in the method of adjusting the polarization direction of the antenna due to the fact that the dual-
polarized antenna has two feed booms.

There are two configurations between ODUs and antennas:

l One ODU configured for one antenna
The ODU can be directly mounted on the antenna or connected to the antenna through a
flexible waveguide.
l Two ODUs configured for one antenna
An RF signal combiner/splitter (hereinafter referred to as hybrid coupler) is used to connect
the antenna and the two ODUs. The hybrid coupler can be directly mounted on the antenna
or connected to the antenna through a flexible waveguide.

Precautions
To facilitate the removal of tapes, first wrap a layer of PVC tape and then wrap the waterproof
insulation tape over the first layer.
Procedure
Step 1 Clean the connector or the grounding clip.
Step 2 Uncoil the waterproof insulation tape.
Step 3 Stick one end of the tape to the IF cable 2 to 5 cm away from the connector or the grounding
clip.
The sticky side should face inwards.
Step 4 Stretch the tape until it is 3/41/2 as wide as its original size. Stretch the tape in this manner
when performing the following steps.
Step 5 Wrap the cable spirally towards the connector or the grounding clip at a point that is 2 to 5 cm
away from the connector or the grounding clip. Make sure that the overlapping area of the
adjacent tape layers is 1/2 of the stretched width.
Step 6 When the tape reaches a point that is 2 to 5 cm away from the connector or the grounding clip
on the other side, reverse the wrapping direction so that the tape reaches the starting point.
Step 7 When the tape reaches the starting point, reverse the wrapping direction so that the tape reaches
the other ending point.
That is, there are three layers of waterproof insulation tape.
Step 8 After wrapping, squeeze the tape until it sticks to the cable. This ensures that there is no air
between the layers of tape.
Step 9 Similarly, wrap three layers of PVC tape over the waterproof insulation tape.
During the wrapping, maintain the stretched length such that the width of the PVC tape is 3/4
to 1/2 of the original size.
Step 10 After waterproof processing, use the outdoor bundling strap to bind the PVC tape tightly at the
positions 1 cm away from the wrapping edges at both ends, to prevent aging and falling off of
the PVC tape.
