This post refers to the RRU power cable. Please have a read below in order to find more details.
The RRU power cable
The RRU power cable is a -48 V DC shielded cable. It feeds -48 V DC power to an RRU. The length of power supply that an RRU power cable supports is 100 m (328.08 ft) by default.
NOTE:
- The maximum length of power supply that an RRU power cable supports is 150 m (492.12 ft). Contact Huawei engineers when an RRU power cable greater than 100 m (328.08 ft) is required.
- If a power device provided by the customer is used, the recommended specification of the circuit breaker on this power device is 15 A to 30 A.
Exterior
A tool-less female connector (pressfit type) needs to be added to one end of the RRU power cable and a corresponding terminal needs to be added to the other end based on the requirements of the connector on the external power device, as shown in Figure 1.
