CONNECTING THE CELL EXTENDER TO THE BTS EQUIPMENT
The Cell Extender sits between the BTS equipment and the Antennas. The 7/16” DIN connector labeled
“FEEDER A (TX/RX)” is connected via a coax feeder line to the TX/RX output of the BTS. The
connector labeled “Antenna A (TX/RX)” is then connected to the actual Antenna. For BTS equipment
with receive diversity and Cell Extenders with Option 1 – Receive Diversity, the 7/16” DIN connector
labeled “FEEDER B (Rx only)” is connected to the “RX” input of the BTS equipment. Likewise, the
connector labeled “ANTENNA B (Rx only)” is then connected to the diversity Antenna.
POWERING THE CELL EXTENDER
The Cell Extender can be ordered with three separate power options: Direct AC (default), Remote
Power (Option 3), or Direct DC power (Option 5/6). With Direct AC, the Cell Extender is supplied with
a power cord that is plugged into a 110VAC or 220VAC power source. With the Remote Power option,
a remote power module (see Diagram 2) supplies the necessary voltage to the Cell Extender over the
coax cable. The Direct DC power option is for applications where a solar power source or battery
voltage is being used to power the unit. Two direct DC voltages are supported: 24-30VDC and 36-
72VDC.
With the Direct AC and Direct DC options, the Cell Extender is provided with a hermetically sealed
connector and a power cable that contains three wires – black, white and green. The pinouts are defined
