Installation Guidelines   

This chapter provides installation guidelines for the Corning ONE™ wireless platform MRU. The following installation rules are 
based on the assumption that the site survey and installation planning (including power requirements) have been completed. 
This includes planning the distribution of antennas to provide the required coverage, as well as planning the layout of the 
devices and cables in the telecom closet or shaft. 

3.1

 

Site Considerations 

 

The distance between the MRU service antenna and the coverage area should correspond to LOS (Line of Sight) 

requirements for maximum coverage area   

 

The maximum fiber path loss is 5 dB 

 

The system delay of the optical system must be taken into consideration when there are neighboring BTS sites overlapping 

in coverage 

3.2

 

Safety Guidelines 

Before installing the equipment review the following safety information:   

 

Follow all local safety regulations when installing the equipment. 

 

Only qualified personnel are authorized to install and maintain the repeater. 

 

Ground specified equipment with the provided grounding bolt   

 

Do not use the grounding bolt to connect external devices. 

 

Follow electro-static discharge (ESD) precautions. 

 

Use low loss cables to connect the antennas   

3.3

 

Installation Requirements 

 

Mounting surface shall be capable of supporting the weight of the equipment.   

 

In order to avoid electromagnetic interference, a proper mounting location must be selected to minimize interference from 

electromagnetic sources such as large electrical equipment. 

 

Working space available for installation and maintenance for each mounting arrangement.   

 

Ensure unrestricted airflow.   

 

Ensure grounding connector is within reach of the ground wire.   

 

Ensure a power source is within reach of the power cord and the power source has sufficient capacity.   

 

Where appropriate, ensure unused RF connectors are terminated.   

 

Do not locate the equipment near large transformers or motors that may cause electromagnetic interference.   

 

Reduce signal loss in feeder cable by minimizing the length and number of RF connections.   

 

Ensure the equipment is operated within the stated environment (refer to Appendix A: Specifications or unit datasheet).   

 

Where appropriate, confirm available of suitably terminated grade of RF and optical fiber.   

 

Observe handling of all cables to prevent damage.
