Macrocell and Fiber Components
This guide will focus on macrocell fiber installation and maintenance tests. This type of network architecture
generally involves RRU and BBU functions that are physically separated. The radio equipment is relocated next
to their respective antennas in the RRU enclosures. Fiber is deployed using a remote fiber feeder cable (RFF) that
interconnects the BBU located at ground level to a breakout box at the top. The fiber is then patched using a
jumper into the RRU.
