DCDU-11B uses the equipotential connection point or ground point only in one of the
following scenarios:
 Scenario 1: The DCDU-11B is placed in an open rack and is connected to the ground
bar of the open rack by using the equipotential connection point near the mounting ears.

distribution device, which is connected to the ground bar in the equipment room by using
the ground point at the rear of the DCDU-11B.

Function

The DCDU-11B/DCDU-11C provides ten -48 V DC outputs. Different circuit breaker

configurations can meet power distribution requirements for a distributed or outdoor macro
base station.
