Physical Installation of the Node B
This section describes the installation of the Node into the mounting bracket and the
connection of the power and interface cables.
Step 5 Conduit Installation & Cabling
Where the Node B is installed into an outdoor installation all power and IUB cable must be
routed to/from the Node B via conduit.
Where the Node B has to be connected to an outdoor installation of an INC conduit is
required between the INC and power source. (Refer to the INC Installation Guide)
Power and Ethernet cables are to be pulled through the conduit, one power cable and one
Ethernet (or E3, T3, E1, or T1) cable(s) for each Node B.
Where external alarms are to be utilized conduit shall also be necessary between the
external alarm device and the Node B for monitoring the alarm.
The cables need to be fed through the conduit and into the Node B via the cable glands
(supplied) excess cable left for termination. Leave a sufficient loop of cables to enable them
to be prepared back to the appropriate length.
The figure below illustrates a typical conduit installation.
