interference.
If a cable listed below is not required, skip the routing requirements of the cable.
General Cabling Requirements

Requirements for Bending Radius
 The bending radius of the 7/8'' feeder must be more than 250 mm (9.84 in.), and the
bending radius of the 5/4'' feeder must be more than 380 mm (14.96 in.).
 The bending radius of the 1/4'' jumper, ordinary 1/2'' jumper, super-flexible 1/2'' jumper,
and RG-8U jumper must be more than 35 mm (1.38 in.), 127 mm (5 in.), 50 mm (1.97
in.), and 50 mm (1.97 in.), respectively.
 The bending radius of the power cable or PGND cable must be at least three times the
diameter of the cable.
 The bending radius of a fiber optic cable is at least 20 times the diameter of the fiber
optic cable, and the minimum bending radius of the breakout cable at each end of the

 The bending radius of the E1/T1 cable must be at least three times the diameter of the
cable.
 The bending radius of the signal cable must be at least five times the diameter of the
cable.
Requirements for Cable Binding
 The same types of cable must be bound together.
 Different types of cable must be separately routed with the minimum spacing of 30 mm
(1.18 in.) and cannot be entangled.
 The cables must be bound tightly and neatly. The sheaths of the cables must not be
damaged.
 Cable ties are installed in the same direction, and those at the same horizontal line must
be in a straight line.
 The excess of indoor cable ties is trimmed off, and the excess of outdoor cable ties
allows about 5 mm (0.2 in.), without remaining rough edges.
 Labels or nameplates must be attached to both ends, joints, or turns of cables after they
are installed.
Security Requirements
 Cables should be placed away from sharp objects or wall burrs. If these positions are
inevitable, protect the cables with protection pipes.

 Cables must be routed away from heat sources, or heat-insulation materials are added
between cables and heat sources.
 Sufficient slack (recommended for about 0.1 m [0.33 ft.]) is provided in cables at turns
or the position close to a device, facilitating cable and device maintenance.
Indoor Cabling Requirements
 Cables are routed indoors through the feeder window.
 Drip loops must be made outside the feeder window, and the requirements for the
minimum bending radius are met.
 When cables are routed indoors, engineers are required indoors for cooperation.
 The feeder window must be waterproofed.
Outdoor Cabling Requirements

 Cables routed outdoors must be led through a pipe when they may be damaged.
 AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables buried in the ground must be
protected.
 If cables at the cabinet bottom need to be routed through a pipe along the ground, lead
the pipe into the cabinet base for about 3 m (9.84 ft.) to 5 m (16.4 ft.), not into the
cabinet. Block the pipe with waterproof tape or silicon gel, and secure the pipe to the
cable hole at the cabinet bottom with metal piece.
 If cables at the cabinet bottom need to be routed through a pipe along the metal cable
trough, do not lead the pipe into the cabinet base. The cable trough must be sealed and
routed through the cable hole at the cabinet bottom.
 Cables are secured with cable clips.
 Cables are routed neatly along the specified cabling direction and secured with cable
clips.
 The positions for cable clips are determined onsite. For example, the cable clips for the
7/8" feeder are installed at the spacing of 1.5 m (4.92 ft.) to 2 m (6.56 ft.) in the same
direction, and the cable clips for the power cables are installed at the spacing of 1 m
(3.28 ft.) to 1.5 m (4.92 ft.) in the same direction.
 Cable clips must be vertical with cables, and the cables in a cable clip must be parallel.
 After routing cables neatly and correctly, tighten the screws on cable clips.

 If DC power cables need to be routed close to a device on the tower, secure the cables to
the guardrail or pole with cable clips. The device cannot be far away from the position
for securing the cables.
Cabling Requirements for PGND Cables
 PGND cables for the base station must be connected to the same ground bar.
 PGND cables must be buried in the ground or routed indoors. They should not be routed
overhead before they are led into the equipment room.
 The exterior of the coaxial wire and the shield layer of the shielded cable must have
proper electrical contact with the metal surface of the equipment to which they are
connected.
 PGND cables and signal cables must be installed in an untangled and orderly fashion. A
certain distance must be reserved between them to prevent interference from each other.
 Fuses or switches must not be installed on the PGND cables.
 Other devices must not be used for electrical connections of the PGND cables.
 All the metal parts in the housing of the equipment must be reliably connected to the
ground terminal.
Cabling Requirements for E1 Cables

the spacing between them must be greater than 30 mm (1.18 in.).
 E1 cables are routed straightly and bound neatly with cable ties.
 Sufficient slack is provided in E1 cables at turns.
 E1 cables cannot be squeezed by the cabinet door when routed through the cabinet, as
Figure 8-3 E1 cables routed through the cabinet
Cabling Requirements for Fiber Optic Cables

 Fiber optic cables must be routed by at least three qualified and trained personnel before
all preparations are made.
 Fiber optic cables are used within the temperature range of -40°C to 60°C. If the current
temperature is out of the range, make protection measures or route the cables again.
 Cables are routed in an untangled and orderly fashion.

 Do not bind fiber optic cables at turns.

 Do not stretch, step on, or place heavy objects on fiber optic cables. Keep the cables
away from sharp objects.
 When fiber optic cables are routed, the excess of the cables must be coiled around
special devices, such as a fiber coiler.
 When coiling fiber optic cables, apply even strength. Do not bend the cables with force.
 Vacant optical connectors must be covered with dustproof caps.
 Fiber optic cables cannot be squeezed by the cabinet door when routed through the
cabinet, as shown in Figure 8-4, Figure 8-5 and Figure 8-6.
