Draft A (2020-08-30)
This is a draft.
1.2 RRU Introduction

This chapter describes the exterior and function of the RRU as well as the ports
and indicators on the RRU.
1.2.1 RRU Exterior

This section describes the exterior and dimensions of an RRU.
The RRU5336E is an RRU with an external antenna. The following figure shows
the appearance of this RRU.

1.2.2 RRU Functions

This section describes main functions of an RRU.
The Remote Radio Unit (RRU) consists of the high-speed interface unit, signal
processing unit, power amplifier, duplexer, extension ports, and power module.
Figure 1-3 shows the functional structure of the RRU.
NOTE
For details about the extension ports, see 1.2.4 RRU Ports.
Figure 1-3 Functional structure of an RRU

(2020-08-30)
RRU5336E
The RRU performs the following functions:

● Receives downlink baseband data from the BBU and sends uplink baseband
data to the BBU.
● Receives RF signals from the antenna system, down-converts the signals to
intermediate frequency (IF) signals, amplifies the IF signals, performs analog-
to-digital conversion, and up-converts RF signals to the transmit (TX) band.
● Multiplexes receive (RX) and TX signals on the RF channel so that these
signals can share the same antenna channel, and filters the RX and TX signals.
1.2.3 RRU Technical Specifications

This section describes technical specifications of an RRU, including supported
modes, frequency bands, RF specifications, engineering specifications, and antenna
capabilities.
For details about technical specifications of an RRU5336E, see RRU5336E Technical
Specifications.
1.2.4 RRU Ports

This section describes ports on the RRU panels. An RRU has a bottom panel,
cabling cavity panel, and indicator panel.

NOTE
● To query the indicator status, run the LST RRU command. For example: LST RRU: CN=0,
SRN=60, SN=0;
● To turn off an indicator, run the MOD RRU command. For example: MOD RRU: CN=0,
SRN=60, SN=0, LEDSW=OFF;
● To turn on an indicator, run the MOD RRU command. For example: MOD RRU: CN=0,
SRN=60, SN=0, LEDSW=ON;

1.2.6 Optical Modules

An optical module transmits optical signals between an optical port and an optical
fiber.
Optical modules can be classified as single-mode and multimode optical modules,
which can be distinguished as follows:
● The puller of a single-mode optical module is blue and the puller of a
multimode optical module is black or gray.
● The transmission mode is displayed as "SM" on the label of a single-mode
optical module and "MM" on the label of a multimode optical module.
Optical modules must be used in pairs on both ends of an optical fiber. The
following table describes the mapping.
NOTICE
Each type of optical module has its own mapping. If different types of optical
modules are used, performance risks may arise, for example, alarms, bit errors,
and interrupted links.
Table 1-3 Optical module mapping

Optical Module Type Mapping Between the BBU and RRU
SFP duplex (two-fiber SFP duplex optical modules with the same
bidirectional, duplex for specifications are used on both sides.
short) optical module
SFP BIDI (single-fiber SFP BIDI optical modules are used on both sides,
bidirectional, BIDI for or the DSFP optical module is used on the BBU
short) optical module side and the SFP BIDI optical module is used on
the RRU side.
● The receive and transmit wavelengths of an
optical module on both sides have the
mapping relationship. For example, if the
receive and transmit wavelengths of the optical
module on the BBU side are 1270TX/1330RX,
those on the RRU side are 1330TX/1270RX.
● Except for wavelengths, the specifications of
optical modules are the same.
For details about the DSFP optical module, see the
hardware description of the corresponding BBU.

(2020-08-30)
RRU5336E
NOTE
● The exterior and label on an optical module in this section are for reference only.
● The rate of the optical module to be installed must be the same as the rate of the CPRI
port.
● Only Huawei-certified optical modules meeting the following requirements can be used
for Huawei wireless devices:
● Requirements of devices on which optical modules are to be installed
● Laser safety requirements in the IEC 60825-1 standard
● General safety requirements in the IEC 60950-1 standard
● For part numbers for Huawei Wireless certificated and provided SFP and QSFP optical
modules, see Spare Parts Catalog.
● The supported maximum remote distance varies depending on the optical module. For
details, see section "CPRI Optical Fiber" in "Base Station Cables". CPRI optical fibers are
configured based on application scenarios.

1.3.2 RRU PGND Cable

An RRU PGND cable connects an RRU and a ground bar, ensuring the proper
grounding of the RRU. The maximum length of an RRU PGND cable is 30 m
(98.42 ft).
Exterior
An RRU PGND cable is green or green and yellow. Both ends of the PGND cable
are OT terminals. If the customer prepares the PGND cable, a copper-core cable
with a cross-sectional area of 6 mm2 (0.009 in.2) or larger is recommended. Figure
1-7 shows the exterior of a PGND cable.

One OT terminal must be added to each end of the PGND cable onsite.
1.3.3 RRU Power Cable

RRU power cables feed AC power into RRUs from the power equipment. If a
power device provided by the customer is used, the recommended specification of
the circuit breaker on this power device is 16 A.

(2020-08-30)
RRU5336E
Appearance
The cross sectional area of the RRU AC power cables ranges from 1.5 mm2 to 2.5
mm2 (0.0023 in.2 to 0.0039 in.2). The outer diameter of the power cables ranges
from 8.6 mm to 12.5 mm (0.34 in. to 0.49 in.). Figure 1-8 shows the exterior of

NOTE

1.3.4 CPRI Optical Fiber

CPRI optical fibers are classified into multimode optical fibers and single-mode
optical fibers. They transmit CPRI signals.
A multimode optical fiber connects a BBU to an RRU or connects two RRUs. The
maximum length of a multimode optical fiber connecting a BBU and an RRU is
150 m (492.12 ft). The default length of a multimode optical fiber connecting two
RRUs is 10 m (32.81 ft). If the distance between two RRUs exceeds 10 m (32.81
ft), contact Huawei engineers.
The single-mode optical fiber can be divided into two types: single-mode optical
fiber directly connecting a BBU to an RRU or connecting two RRUs (shortened to
directly connected single-mode optical fiber) and single-mode optical fiber
connecting an ODF to a BBU or RRU (shortened to single-mode pigtail). The
length of the directly connected single-mode optical fiber cannot exceed the
maximum allowed remote distance between the BBU and RRU. The maximum
length of the single-mode pigtail between an ODF and a BBU is 20 m (65.62 ft).
The maximum length of the single-mode pigtail between an ODF and an RRU is
70 m (229.66 ft).
NOTE
● The ODF is an outdoor transfer box for optical fibers, which interconnects the single-
mode pigtail and trunk single-mode optical fiber.
● The ODF and trunk single-mode optical fiber are provided by the customer and must
comply with the ITU-T G.652 standard.
● A multimode optical fiber is used together with a multimode optical module, and a
single-mode pigtail is used together with a single-mode optical module.

1.3.5 RRU RF Jumper

The 1/2" RRU RF jumper transmits and receives RF signals between an RRU and
an antenna. A fixed-length RF jumper used by an RRU is 2 m (6.56 ft), 3 m (9.84
ft), 4 m (13.12 ft), 6 m (19.68 ft), or 10 m (32.81 ft). A variable-length RF jumper
used by an RRU has a maximum length of 10 m (32.81 ft).

(2020-08-30)
RRU5336E
NOTE
● When the distance between an RRU and an antenna is less than 10 m (32.81 ft), one end of
the RF jumper is connected to an RF port at the bottom of the RRU, and the other end is
connected to the antenna.
● When the distance between an RRU and an antenna is greater than 10 m (32.81 ft), it is
recommended that one end of the RF jumper be connected to an RF port at the bottom of
the RRU, the other end be connected to one end of the feeder, and the other end of the
feeder be connected to the antenna.
● If the customer prepares the RF jumper, the length of the RF jumper should be as short as
possible and not exceed 2 m (6.56 ft.).
Exterior
For an RF jumper, one end is connected to a 4.3-10 male connector, and the other
end is connected to a connector based on onsite requirements, which is a 4.3-10
male connector or N male connector.
Figure 1-17 shows an RF jumper with two ends connected to 4.3-10 male
connectors.
