Page 113 GSM-204-423 Connecting fibre optic cables Connecting fibre optic cables Location of fibre optic connections In an installation configuration with more than one Horizon macro outdoor cabinet, fibre optic connections are used to link the MCUF in the master cabinet to the extension cabinets. A maximum of three extension cabinets can be added to the master cabinet.
Page 114 Connecting fibre optic cables GSM-204-423 Minimum bend radius All optical fibres have a minimum bend radius. This represents the smallest circle that is allowed to be formed from a loop of fibre, that is how tight it can be coiled, looped or bent. CAUTION Under no circumstances should fibres be bent tighter than the minimum bend radius.
Page 115 GSM-204-423 Connecting fibre optic cables Protecting fibres and connectors To maintain good light transmission through the fibre optic link it is essential to maintain cleanliness of the connector end surfaces and/or bare fibre ends. At all times when fibres are not connected into the system, the connector protective caps (normally red) should be fitted and kept in place.
Page 116 Connecting fibre optic cables GSM-204-423 Connecting fibre optic cables between cabinets WARNING Do not look directly into a fibre optic cable or the data in/out connectors of the FMUX or MCUF, with or without the use of optical aids. Laser radiation can come from either the data in/out connectors or unterminated fibre optic cables connected to data in/out connectors.

Page 164 BTS architectures and interoperability GSM-204-423 BTS architectures and interoperability M-Cell 6 and Horizon macro architectures Figure 6-1 represents the high level architecture of the M-Cell 6 and Horizon macro BTSs. Both systems provide an optical interface for connection to remote transceivers, which in a normal installation would be used to connect to transceivers of the same product type.

Page 166 BTS architectures and interoperability GSM-204-423 Technical issues When mixing different BTS types, the interface may be required to resolve some or all of the following issues, depending on the site configuration: The interface must deliver both Rx and Rx (receive diversity) signals to each transceiver.
Page 167 GSM-204-423 BTS architectures and interoperability DCS1800 Refer to Figure 6-4. In the Horizon macro cabinet, low noise amplification in the SURF module first boosts the Rx signal by +13 dB. Separate Rx outputs from the SURF are then discretely routed to relevant transceivers in the master cabinet, and to the LNA in the extender cabinet.
Page 168 BTS architectures and interoperability GSM-204-423 GSM900 Refer to Figure 6-5. In GSM900 products, RF gain for the IADU and SURF is configurable. A split cell configuration is therefore dealt with in the same way as that described for DCS1800, except that the 13 dB attennuators are not required.
Page 169 GSM-204-423 BTS architectures and interoperability Transmit path M-Cell 6 combining When configuring the downlink paths for a cell using three carriers or more, it may be necessary to provide additional external RF load(s) for the combiners. This is illustrated by Figure 6-6, which shows a typical M-Cell 6 combining arrangement for a 4-carrier cell.
Page 170 BTS architectures and interoperability GSM-204-423 Horizon macro combining A similar arrangement is used in the Horizon macro , which uses a Hybrid Combiner Unit (HCU) and Dual stage Duplexed combining Filter (DDF), as shown in Figure 6-7. The DDF has three input ports together with two internal RF loads, and therefore does not require the addition of any external load.
Page 171 GSM-204-423 BTS architectures and interoperability Mixed equipment combining When the two different product types are interfaced, a situation can arise where a 3IP CBF is connected to an HCU, as shown in Figure 6-8. In this configuration it is therefore necessary to provide an additional external RF load for this 3IP CBF.

Page 173 BTS architectures and interoperability Example configurations Configuration diagrams provided by the Motorola local office show top of rack cable and antenna connections for mixed product configurations, together with details of external RF loads required. Figure 6-9, Figure 6-10 and Figure 6-11 are examples of the type of diagram that can be provided.
Page 174 BTS architectures and interoperability GSM-204-423 GSM900 5/5 configuration using two cabinets In this configuration, there are no split cells, and therefore no uplink or downlink connections between the cabinets. In the M-Cell 6 cabinet, both 3IP CBFs are configured with external loads provided by the NON HYB. In the Horizon macro, one DDF has two direct RF inputs, plus a third input via the FEEDTHRU.
Page 175 GSM-204-423 BTS architectures and interoperability DCS1800 4/4/4 configuration using two cabinets In this configuration, sector 2 is split between the cabinets. The uplink Rx and signals for sector 2 are therefore connected between the BTS types to ensure the availability of both signals in both cabinets. In the M-Cell 6 cabinet, 2-input hybrids are used for combining, each configured with a discrete external load.
Page 176 A range of cables is available for uplink, downlink and fibre optic connections, together with the uplink attennuators described earlier. Contact the Motorola local office for further details. In addition, the mounting plate and snap-in multi cable gland shown in Figure 6-12 are required when expanding M-Cell 6 outdoor sites with Horizonmacro cabinets.
