Donor Antenna-to-Fusion Wideband Configuration (for each Fusion Wideband Band)
Donor Antenna Installed, inspected; N-ma
le to N-male coaxial cable to lightning
arrestor/surge suppressor
Lightning Arrestor or
Surge Suppressor
Installed between roof-top antenna and repeater; N-male to N-male 50
Ohm coaxial cable and
outdoor cables longer than 140 feet.
Repeater Installed between lightning arrestor/sur
ge suppressor and Hub; N-male
to N-male
coaxial cable. The Repeater must be a UL listed product.
Attenuator Installed between the circulator and the Hu
b downlink port to prevent
overload. Optionally, it may be installed between the uplink port and the
circulator.
Circulator or Duplexer Installed between the repeater and the Hub uplink and downlink ports.
Base Station-to-Fusion Wideband Configuration
(for each Fusion Wideband Band)
Base Station Installed, inspected; verify RF power (see tables in “Maximum Output
Power Per Carrier” on page 65); N-male to N-male coaxial cable.
Attenuator Attenuation may be required to achieve
the desired RF output at the
RAU, and the desired uplink noise floor level.
Circulator or Duplexer When using a duplex BTS: Installed between the BTS and the Hub uplink
and downlink ports. Not
used with a simplex BTS.
Connecting Multiple Fusion Wideband Main Hubs Together
5-port Alarm Daisy-Chain Cable
(PN 4024-3)
For contact alarm monitoring of fault and warning alarms. Used to feed
the alarms from multiple Fusion Wideband Main Hubs into a BTS or
FlexWave Focus. N.C. Operation.
Cabling
Coaxial: repeater, Base Station, Smart Source
to
Fusion Wideband Main Hub
Coax approved; N-type male connectors.
Coaxial: RAU to
passive
antennas
Use low-loss cable; N male connector; typical 1 m (3.3 ft) using RG142
coaxial cable.
Fiber: Main Hub to Expansion Hubs SC/APC (angle-polished) male connectors for entire fiber
run (can use
SC/APC pigtails, PN 4012SCAPC-10 for MMF or 4013SCAPC-10 for
SMF);
Use jumper fiber cables for collocated Main and Expansion
Hubs (3
m/10 ft.):
Multi-mode: PN 4017SCAPC-10
Single-mode: PN 4018SCAPC-10
Distance limited by optical loss of 3 dB
Multi-mode up to 500 m (1640 ft.)
Single-mode up to 6 km
(19,685 ft.)
CATV TIA-
570-B approved; centerpin F male connectors. CATV connectors
must be
connected to the shield at both ends. The RAU will be damaged
if it is mis-wired.
Tie-off cables to avoid damaging th
e connectors because of cable
strain.
Fusion Wideband Expansion Hub to RAUs • Minimum: 0 meters (0 ft)
• M
aximum: RG-59: 150 meters (492 ft)
RG-6: 170 meters (557 ft)
RG-11: 275 meters (902 ft)
