Indoor Cable Routing Requirements
● Cables are routed indoors through feeder windows.
● Trap the cable part outside a feeder window according to requirements for the
minimum bending radius.
● When routing a cable into the room, ensure that a person is assisting you in
the room.
● Feeder windows must be waterproofed.
Outdoor Cable Routing Requirements
● Outdoor cables must be routed through a pipe to protect them from being
damaged.
● AC power cables, transmission cables, and cables buried in the ground must
be protected.
● If cables at the cabinet bottom need to be routed through a pipe along the
ground, the pipe should be routed into the cabinet base for about 30 mm to
50 mm, but not into the cabinet. The pipe end should be sealed with
waterproof tape or silicon gel, and the pipe should be secured to the cable
hole at the cabinet bottom using sheet metal.
● If cables at the cabinet bottom need to be routed through a pipe along a
metal cable trough, the pipe should not be routed into the cabinet base. The
cable trough should be sealed and routed through the cable hole at the
cabinet bottom.
● Arrange the cables in order in the routing direction, and install cable clips.
Special Cable Routing Requirements
Power Cable Routing Requirements
● The positions for routing power cables should be in accordance with the
design drawing.
● If the cable length is
insucient, use another power cable of sucient length.
No joint or weld is allowed on a power cable.
● Cables must be routed by only
qualied and trained personnel after all
preparations are made.
● Optical cables must be straightly routed and not twisted or winded.
Ground Cable Routing Requirements
● Ground cables in a base station should be connected to the same ground bar.
● Ground cables must not be routed in from the overhead. They must be routed
underground or indoors.
● Both ends of the external conductor of a coaxial cable and the shield layer of
a shielded cable should have good electrical contact with the metal shell of
the device they connect to.
● Ground cables and signal cables should be bound separately with a proper
distance in between to avoid interference.
● Switches or fuses must not be installed on ground cables.
● No devices can be used as a part of ground cables.
