UNDERSTANDING RF CABLE RULES
• When installing a Diversity, MIMO or Dual-Band RF Module, both RF cables labeled MOD N TX0/RX0 and
MOD N TX1/RX1 shall be connected to the N-Style connections of the RF Module. Note that older labeling
schemes used “PRI” and “DIV”. To match old labeling schemes to current labeling:
Old Label New Label
PRI TX0/RX0
DIV TX1/RX1
• When installing a Non-Diversity or SISO RF Module, or an SMR 800/900 Dual-Band Dual-Bay RF Module:
– The MOD
N TX0/RX0 cable shall be connected to the single available N-Style RF Connection of the RF
Module.
– The M
OD N TX1/RX1 cable shall be constrained to the existing cables using a tie wrap or similarly
accepted fastener so it cannot be pinched or prevent the Remote Unit door from closing. Do not cut or
attempt to otherwise remove this RF Cable.
• RF cables are hand-formable;
however, cables must adhere to a minimum bend radius of 1-inch from the
outlet of the integrated cable guide to the respective N-Style RF connection on the RF Module.
RF Module Cables and Supported Bay Use for Single-Card, Dual-Card, and HDM RF Modules
The RF cable and connector labels correspond to the RF Module bays in the Remote Unit chassis, where MOD A
is the bottom bay and MOD D is the top bay.
• The cabl
es and connectors have corresponding labels as shown in Table 11 for Single-Card, Dual-Card, and
HDM RF Modules. For Dual-Bay installations, the RF cables and connectors
are labeled as MOD N TX0/RX0 and
MOD N TX1/RX1, where N refers to the top bay of the double-bay installation. For example:
– Fo
r a Dual-Bay installation in a Quad-Bay chassis in which the RF Module is installed in the Bay D and Bay
C combination, the RF cables and connectors are labeled as MOD D TX0/RX0 and MOD D TX1/RX1.
– Fo
r a Dual-Bay installation in a Tri-Bay chassis in which the RF Module is installed in the Bay B and Bay
A combination, the RF cables and connectors are labeled as MOD B TX0/RX0 and MOD B TX1/RX1.
• Table 11 also shows which RF Module type can be installed in which PRU bay o
r bay combination.
• The Singl
e-Bay chassis is not included in Table 11.
