E1/T1 Cable (Clock Cable)

The E1/T1 cable connects the BBU to the external transmission device and transmits
baseband signals.
Exterior
The E1/T1 cables are classified into two types: 75-ohm E1 coaxial cable and 120-ohm E1
twisted pair cable.
One end of the E1/T1 cable is a DB26 male connector. The connector at the other end of
the cable should be made on site according to site requirements.

FE/GE Cable (Transmission)

The FE/GE cable connects the BBU to the transmission device through routing
devices and transmits baseband signals.
NOTE:
The maximum length of the FE/GE cable for remote connection is 100 m.
Exterior
The FE/GE cable is a shielded straight-through cable. It has an RJ-45 connector at
each end

BBU Module --- WBBP Board

The WBBP has three types of panels, as shown in Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3.

Figure 1 Panel of the WBBPa

Figure 2 Panel of the WBBPb

Figure 3 Panel of the WBBPd

Board number mandatory, maximum is 6

Functions
The WBBP has the following functions:
Provides the CPRI interface for communication between the BBU and the RRU or RFU, and supports the CPRI interface in 1+1 backup mode.
Processes uplink and downlink baseband signals.
The WBBPd supports interference cancellation (IC) within the board.
When installed in slot 2 or slot 3, the WBBPd supports the IC function of uplink data.

CPRI Optical Cable

The CPRI optical cable transmits CPRI signals between the BBU and the RRU or between
RRUs.
Exterior
The CPRI optical cable is categorized into the multi-mode optical cable and single-mode
optical cable. When the distance between the BBU and the RRU is shorter than 100 m, a
multi-mode optical cable is required. When the distance between the BBU and the RRU is
longer than 100 m, a single-mode optical cable is required.
Figure 1 shows the multi-mode optical cable.
