CAUTION: The requirements for working at heights are as follows:
The personnel who work at heights must be trained.
Carry and handle the operating machines and tools with caution to prevent them from falling down.
15.3 Installation Precautions
Install the antenna upright and place one side of the RF cable connector towards the ground.
When installing single-polarized antennas, keep the distance between two antennas to within 30 cm to 50 cm.
Install the antenna away from metal obstructions, such as air conditioners or heating pipes. Do not install the antenna on a wire mesh.
Wall materials and thickness determine the number of walls that radio signals can pass through. Factor that into antenna selection.
Install lightening rods for outdoor antennas to prevent lightening strikes. For details on how to install a lightening rod, see section "Antenna Installation".
Ensure that no obstacle exists in the Fresnel zone in bridging scenarios. That is, the antenna height must be large than the sum of the radius of the first Fresnel zone and obstacle height.
As shown in the figure, the Fresnel zone refers to the ellipsoid. Obstacles in the zone will adversely affect signal transmissions. If not blocked, radio signals can travel in an approximate free space.Figure 15-3 Fresnel zone
Fresnel zones differ depending on the Fresnel zone radius. In a free space, radio signals are mainly transmitted between antennas in the first Fresnel zone. In normal cases, the Fresnel zone refers to the first Fresnel zone.
The radius of the first Fresnel zone is calculated and related parameters are described as follows:
r: indicates the radius of the first Fresnel zone, in meters.
d: indicates the distance between two antennas, in km.
f: indicates the signal frequency, in GHz.
With 5 GHz signals as an example, Table 15-2 lists the radius of the first Fresnel zone in different backhaul distances.
Backhaul Distance (km) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 10 |
Radius of the First Fresnel Zone (m) | 3.87 | 5.48 | 6.71 | 8.66 | 12.25 |
15.4 Antenna Installation
The 27010912 antenna is an outdoor 5 GHz directional antenna that provides high gains. To obtain a better performance and wider coverage, the antenna should be installed at high positions away from metal obstacles, for example, building tops, mountaintops, and tower tops. Its transmit end should not be blocked by obstacles.
In bridging scenarios, installation positions should not exceed wireless bridge transmission distances.

15.4.3 Connecting RF Cables
RF Cable Connection Requirements
Connect the feeder connector to the radio interface of an AP and tighten the connector to the interface.
RF Cable Deployment Requirements
Use a short feeder cable to connect the antenna to an AP.
It is recommended that you connect a 50 ohm RF load to an idle antenna interface and wrap the RF load with both the insulation and waterproof tape.
Wrap the RF cable in single-layer PVC insulation tape, triple-layer waterproof tape, and then triple-layer PVC insulation tape.
Before wrapping the waterproof tape, stretch the tape evenly until it is 1/2 the width as before. With each layer of tape wrap the cable tightly and ensure that each layer covers more than 50% of the layer beneath it.
Wrap the triple-layer tape from bottom to top, from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top again.
Bend radius requirements: RG-8U RF cable: > 150 mm; 1/2" RF cable:> 50 mm; 7/8" RF cable: > 250 mm. One inch (1") equals 25.4 mm.
RF Cable Connections
Antenna interfaces of Huawei outdoor APs provide a 5 kA surge protection capability. In general, no additional surge protective device needs to be installed, and the RF cables are directly connected to the antenna interfaces.
NOTE: Outdoor APs support built-in surge protection on all interfaces, but surge protection works only when the outdoor APs are grounded.If a higher surge protection capability is required, you need to purchase a surge protective device separately. When installing the surge protective device, ensure that it is connected to a ground cable.
