Note:
l The RF interfaces of A400 ODUs (11 GHz) are of waveguide type. The installation
mode of 11 GHz ODUs is the same as that of the 13-38 GHz ODUs, that is, either
buckle installation or separate installation can be applied for them. The RF interfaces
of A400 ODUs (6-8 GHz) are of coaxial-cable type, and such ODUs only support the
separate installation mode.
l Antennas whose diameter is larger than or equal to 2.4 m only support the separate
installation mode.

4.1 Cable Installation Requirements

The following lists the cable installation requirements:
l In the equipment room where support and static floor are installed, all cables can be
routed in downward cabling mode, that is, cables are routed from the in-between floor
or a cable trough. If cables are routed in upward cabling mode, a cable rack must be
paved above the cabinet, and cables are routed through the cable rack.
l The cable layout position must be designed in advance, and all cables must be in
good condition and routed in order.
l External cables include the power cable, tail fiber, trunk cable, and other signal cables.
Cables in the cable rack must be bundled by category, and cannot be crossed. The
cables must be fixed by cable ties, with a spacing of 20 cm between each other.
l Cable bendings must be smooth and round, and the minimum bending radius is not
less than 60 mm.
l Cables must be bundled tidily and straightly, with appropriate tension and even
spacing between cable ties. The surplus cable part must be cut off, leaving no sharp
edge.
l Cables routed in a cable trough can be loose, but must be straight and not crossed,
and the cables cannot go beyond the cable trough. Cables must be bundled at the
cable trough's entry/exit and where cables are bent.
l The trunk cables that are routed from the cabinet to the relay rack cannot be pulled
tightly, and the extra cables should not be cut off. Cables routed in a cable trough or
on the raised floor must be bundled separately, and must be straight and not crossed.
After being routed, the cables must be tidy and in good condition, and sufficient margin
should be reserved as required.
l Cables must be pasted with labels, including project user cable label, IF cable label,
fiber cable label, and power cable label. A label is pasted 2 cm from the cable end. It

Checking IDU Power Supply
Grounding
Caution!
If the power supply of an IDU device is incorrectly grounded, the power supply will be burnt.
You must follow the method described in this manual to verify that the power supply of an
IDU device is properly grounded.
Figure A-1 shows how the power of an IDU device is supplied.

Appendix A Checking IDU Power Supply Grounding
Prerequisites
Before checking IDU power supply grounding, verify the following:
l The IDU device is installed completely.
l The IDU cabinet is grounded properly.
l The IDU device is connected to the power supply properly.
l The air circuit breaker of the power supply cable is in off state.
Steps
Perform the following steps to determine whether the IDU device power supply is properly
grounded.
1. Check whether the multimeter operates properly.

Use the red and black probes to form a short circuit to check whether the multimeter
operates properly. If a resistance of 0 ohms is displayed, it indicates that the multimeter
operates properly. Otherwise, check or replace the multimeter.
2. Check the resistance between the IDU device power cable and the Protective Earth
(PE).
Use a probe of the multimeter to touch point 1 in the power cable core corresponding to
the –48V GND of the IDU power supply board. Use the other probe to touch the shared
grounding busbar of the cabinet where the IDU device is located. If a resistance of
less than 10 ohms is displayed, it indicates that the power supply is grounded properly.
Otherwise, check the grounding connection.
3. Check the resistance between the power cable core of the IDU device and the PE.
Use a probe of the multimeter to touch point 2 in the power cable core corresponding
to the –48V of the IDU power supply board. Use the other probe to touch the shared
grounding busbar of the cabinet where the IDU device is located. If a resistance of over
1000 ohms is displayed, it indicates that the power supply core is grounded properly.
Otherwise, check the –48V and –48V GND cable connections. One cable cannot be
connected to the terminal of another cable.
