2-14 LGCell Equipment
The Dual Band 900/1800 RAU is shown here. The Dual Band RAU has the same
connectors as the single band RAU. It has one set of connectors for the 900 RAU
and one set for the 1800 RAU.
RAUs are active antennas that connect directly to an Expansion Hub over standard
CAT 5 (or better) UTP/STP cable. The cable also delivers electrical power to the
antenna.
RAUs receive uplink cellular or PCS signals and re-transmits them to an Expansion
Hub in a low frequency signal format (<200MHz).
They also receive signals from the Expansion Hub, and re-convert the signals back
to the cellular or PCS band for transmission on the downlink.
RAU Features
• Transmits to Expansion Hubs via an RJ-45 connector using UTP/STP cable
• Uses an SMA connector for standard in-building antennas
• Has easily accessible connectors
• Displays system operation via LEDs
• Dimensions: 5.7" x 5.5" x 1.2" (145 mm x 140 mm x 30 mm). The dimensions
for the Dual Band RAU are 8” x 6.2” x 2.7” (1626 mm x 157 mm x 69 mm).
• Connects to Expansion Hub via one RJ-45 connector that feeds RAUs directly
through a UTP/STP cable (up to 60 meters)
For system performance for cable lengths greater than 60 meters, see “LGCell
System Gain vs. UTP/STP Cable Length (800 MHz, iDEN, 900 MHz)” on page 6
and “LGCell System Gain vs. UTP/STP Cable Length for 1800 MHz or 1900 MHz
(Horizontal run, measured with 1 km of Multi-Mode Fiber)” on page 7 in
