Item Requirements
Equipotential
connection
● Properly ground the devices and auxiliary devices in the
room such as mobile base station, transmission, switching
equipment, power supply equipment, and cable distribution
frame. Connect all PGND cables to the collective protective
ground bar. Connect all PGND cables in one equipment
room to one protective ground bar.
● Apply joint grounding to the working ground and protective
ground of devices, which means the two share one
grounding network.
● The cable tray, rack or shell, metal ventilation pipe, metal
door or window of the equipment should be grounded for
protection.

● Do not install a fuse or switch on the ground cable.
● All ground cables should be as short as possible, and
arranged in a straight line.
Grounding
resistance
● The grounding resistance must be lower than 1 ohm.
● The upper end of the grounding body should be at least 0.7
m (2.30 ft) over the ground. In cold areas, bury the
grounding body below the frozen ground.
● Measure the grounding resistance periodically to ensure
eective grounding.
Routing of
signal cable
● Do not arrange the signal cables overhead in the
equipment room. All signal cables must be led into the site
underground.
● Use the cables with a metal jacket or place them into a
metal pipe if they come out/in the equipment room.
● Ground the idle lines inside the cable in the equipment
room.
● Signal cables should be deployed on internal walls. Do not
