in the PDF, and ports B1 and B3 to a different power supply group.
Issue 03 (2013-07-30)

BSC6910 GSM
Installation Guide

NOTE
PEM 01 and PEM 00 work in active and standby mode. As shown in the preceding figure, to create a hot
backup, connect OUTPUT A and OUTPUT B to a different power supply group.
Circuit breakers used on the PDF must be larger than 60 A.
NOTE
Connect the PGND cables for a cabinet to the nearest ground bar. If the PDF is located a great distance
from the cabinet (for example, they are not in the same equipment room), connect the PGND cables to the
nearest ground bar that is co-grounded with the PDF instead of connecting them directly to the PDF. In
this case, the methods of installing and routing PGND cables are the same as those of connecting PGND
cables directly to the PDF. In practice, PGND cables must be connected based on customer requirements.
4.3 Principles for Installing Power Cables and PGND

Cables
This section describes the principles for installing power cables and PGND cables. When you
install power cables and PGND cables, follow the routing and binding principles.
Minimum Bending Radius of Power Cables

Table 4-2 lists the requirements for bending radius of power cables.
Table 4-2 Bending radius of power cables
Cross-Sectional Area (mm2)
Radius
25
50 mm or larger
35
55 mm or larger
Cable Layout Requirements

l
Lay out power cables and PGND cables with future capacity expansion in mind.
When laying out power cables and PGND cables, separate them from signal cables. Lay
out power cables along outer columns. When you lay out power cables and PGND cables
parallel to signal cables, the space between them must be at least 30 mm.
The bending radius of a cable must be five times larger than the diameter of the cable.
When connecting power cables to the terminals on the PEM in the subrack, lay out the
cables straightly and smoothly.
Cable Binding Requirements

l
When binding power cables and PGND cables, separate them from signal cables.
Keep a 200 mm space between cable ties.
When using the underfloor cabling mode, route the PGND cables along the middle standing
pillar on one side of the cabinet.
Issue 03 (2013-07-30)

10
BSC6910 GSM
Installation Guide
Select the appropriate cable ties, either 150 mm or 300 mm according to the diameter and
number of cables.
Bind the cable ties in the same direction. Cut any excess from the cable ties, cutting surfaces
smoothly without sharp edges.
4.4 Installing Power Cables and PGND Cables Between a

BSC6910 Cabinet and the PDF
This section describes how to install power cables and PGND cables for BSC6910 cabinets in
both overhead cabling and underfloor cabling modes.
4.4.1 Installing Power Cables and PGND cable Between the

BSC6910 and the PDF in Overhead Cabling Mode
This section describes how to install power cables between subracks and the PDF and PGND
cable between a cabinet and the PDF in overhead cabling mode.
Prerequisites
l
The cabinet to be connected with power cables and PGND cable has been installed.
On the PDF, the power distribution switches for the relevant output terminals have been
set to OFF.
All power distribution switches on the PEM in the subrack have been set to OFF.
Power cables and PGND cable are available.
The materials required for the installation are available. The materials include cable ties,
wax strings, and PVC insulation tape.
The tools required for the installation are available. These tools include a handsaw, a cable
cutter, a wrench, a Phillips screwdriver, a flat-head screwdriver, an electric Phillips
screwdriver (> 5 Nm = 44.25 lbfin.), diagonal pliers, and hydraulic pliers.
Context
If you are using the overhead cabling mode, route the cables from the PDF through the upper
cable hole into the cable tray and then the power cables to each subrack,the PGND cable to the
top of each cabinet along the cable tray. Figure 4-2 shows how to install power cables and PGND
cable between a cabinet and the PDF in overhead cabling mode.
Issue 03 (2013-07-30)

BSC6910 GSM
Installation Guide
Figure 4-2 Installing power cables and PGND cable in overhead cabling mode
Procedure
Step 1 Determine the length of each power cable and PGND cable by referring to the related engineering
design documents or by measuring the actual cabling route.
Issue 03 (2013-07-30)

12
BSC6910 GSM
Installation Guide
Step 2 Uncoil the power cable roll and the PGND cable roll onsite. Measure an appropriate length of
cables with a measuring tape or other measuring tools. Then, cut the cables with a cable cutter
(KT35) or a handsaw with 0.8 mm of teeth space. When cutting the cables, leave sufficient slack.
NOTICE
If you find the slack insufficient, replace the cables. Do not make connectors or solder joints.
Step 3 Attach temporary labels to both ends of the cables. The contents on these temporary labels are
not necessarily the same as those on the formal labels because they are only for easy
identification.
Step 4 Lay out power cables and PGND cable between a cabinet and the PDF. Routed the power cables
from the PDF through the upper cable hole into the cable tray and then to each subrack along
the cable tray.
NOTE
l If the space between a cable tray and the top of a cabinet exceeds 800 mm, use a cable ladder to facilitate
the cable layout.
l The bending radius of a cable must be five times larger than the diameter of the cable.
Step 5 Connect the power cables and PGND cable for the cabinet.
1.
According to the installation position of each cable, determine the exact length required,
and cut off any excess.
2.
Obtain the cable terminals delivered with the cabinet. For details, see Assembling the OT
Terminal and the Power Cable. Crimp the OT terminals of the power cable and OT terminals
of PGND cable for the subrack and the cabinet, respectively.
NOTE
OT terminals (M6) are used for the -48 V and RTN power cables while OT terminals (M8) are used
for PGND cable on the cabinet side. The type of OT terminals used on the PDF side is determined
by the actual situation.
NOTE
To facilitate the crimping of OT terminals, crimp them on the ground with hydraulic pliers, and then

Principles of Installing the Signal Cables

When installing the signal cables, take the following precautions:
l
The optical cable should not be stretched roughly or stepped on, and heavy objects should
not be placed on the cable to avoid damage.
The optical connector not in use must be covered with a dustproof cap.
If the connectors of the signal cables are made before delivery, you should pack the
connectors with soft and durable materials such as a packing bag during cabling.
Protect the jackets of the signal cables from being damaged during the routing.
When coiling the extra length of optical cables on the fiber management tray, apply proper
force to avoid damaging the optical.
The actual installation positions must meet the requirements of site survey and data
configuration.
When installing the signal cables, you should route the extra length of the interconnection
cables on both sides of the cabinet according to the requirement for the bending radius of
the cables.
The related operation guide is intended for only the installation method. The actual
installation position of cables should meet the requirements of site survey and should be
consistent with the data configuration scheme.
Minimum Bending Radius

The bending radius of the signal cable meets the requirements of all types of cables. Table
8-2 lists the bending radius of the signal cables.

Principles of Routing the Signal Cables

To facilitate maintenance and capacity expansion, follow these principles when routing cables.
The layout sequence in overhead and underfloor cabling modes must be the same.
While routing the cables at the back of the cabinet, you should route SFP+ high-speed cables
along the left side of the cabinet and clock signal cables along the right side of the cabinet. After
routing SFP+ high-speed cables and clock signal cables, route Ethernet cables from the middle
column to the external column, and then optical cables.For example, on the left side of the
cabinet, lay out the following cables from the middle standing pillar to the external standing
pillar: (1) SFP high-speed cable (2) Network cable (3) Optical fiber (4) Power cable, as shown
in Figure 8-1. On the right side of the cabinet, lay out the following cables from the middle
standing pillar to the external standing pillar: (1) Y-shaped clock cable (2) Network cable (3)
Optical fiber (4) Power cable, as shown in Figure 8-2.

BSC6910 GSM
Installation Guide
Figure 8-2 Principles for laying out signal cables (on the right side of the cabinet)
Requirements of Routing the Signal Cables

The requirements for routing signal cables are as follows:
l
Protect the jackets of the signal cables from being damaged during the routing.
Hold the connector when plugging out the signal cables to protect the signal cable from
damage.
When installing the signal cables, you should route the extra length of the interconnection
cables on both sides of the cabinet according to the requirement for the bending radius of
the cables.
For combined cabinets, the extra signal cable in front of the cabinet should be routed along
the cable ladder or at one side of the cabinet. It should not be placed in the gap between the
