To ensure stable operation of the IDU, the customer needs to obtain the power system that meets
the requirements.
The input power of the IDU is the DC power. Table 1-1 lists the requirements for the input
power of the IDU.

Table 1-1 Requirements for the input power of the IDU

IDU Type Rated Voltage Voltage Number of Recommende
Range Input Power d Fuse
Supplies Capacity
RTN 950 IDU -48 V/-60 V -38.4 V to -72 V 2 20 A
NOTE
l The recommended fuse capacity of 20 A can meet requirements under the maximum power
consumption. Customers can compute the fuse capacity according to the actual power consumption.
The fuse capacity should be larger than or equal to (total power consumption x 1.5)/(rated power supply
x 87.5%). For example, when the rated power supply is -48 V and the total power consumption of the
IDU is less than or equal to 420 W, the fuse capacity can be set to 15 A.
l If the IDU is installed in a cabinet, the customer can purchase the DC power distribution unit (PDU)
from Huawei. This PDU inputs two channels of -48 V/ -60 V power supply and outputs eight channels
of 20 A -48 V/ -60 V power supply.
l If the customer can obtain only +24 V DC power or 110 V/220 V AC power, the customer can purchase
the power module from Huawei. For the relevant information, consult Huawei engineers.
The general requirements of the DC power system are as follows:

l The capacity of the power system should be designed in full consideration of the maximum
load of the system in the dynamic and static situations. In addition, certain margin should
be reserved.
l The primary power supply and the storage battery should be of hot backup to ensure that
the equipment can work normally in the case of power failure.
l The power equipment should be placed close to the communication equipment, hence
minimizing the length of the DC feeder cable.
l The DC power cable should be routed from the DC PDU or the DC cable distribution box.
The cable diameter should meet the design requirement.
l The working ground of the DC power supply should be connected directly to the protection
ground in the telecommunications room. The diameter of the protection ground cable
should meet the design requirement.
l The fuse for limiting the current from the DC PDU (or the DC cable distribution box) and
the primary power supply should meet the operating requirements of the equipment.
The AC power system is required at the maintenance terminal and in the engineering
implementation work. Therefore, the AC power supply in the telecommunications room should
be made available before the work. If the equipment is not installed with the network
management system (NMS), the mains power can meet the requirement of the engineering
implementation. Otherwise, the facilities such as the uninterruptible power system (UPS) should
be made available according to the requirement of the NMS.

If the telecommunications room is installed with certain indoor communication equipment such
as the IDU, a complete ground system needs to be made available in the telecommunications
room.
The requirements for the ground system in the telecommunications room are as follows:

l The telecommunications room needs to be installed with certain lightning-proof devices

such as surge protector and lightning band.
l The telecommunications room needs to be jointly grounded. The working ground and the
protection ground of the equipment need to share the same ground with the lightning-proof
ground. The communication equipment and the power supply facility in the
telecommunications room need to use the same protection ground bar if possible.
l The ground resistance needs to be less than 10 ohms.
l The cross-sectional area of the PGND cable from the equipment to the ground bar needs
to be not less than 6 mm2.
When installing an IDU indoors, adhere to the following requirements:

l When installing an IDU in a transmission cabinet, you need to connect the IDU to the
ground bar of the transmission equipment through a separate ground cable, which needs to
be a multiple-wire copper conductor cable with a cross-sectional area of not less than 6
mm2.

IDU Type Rated Voltage Voltage Number of Recommende

Range Input Power d Fuse
Supplies Capacity
RTN 950 IDU -48 V/-60 V -38.4 V to -72 V 2 20 A
NOTE
The customer can compute the capacity of the fuse according to the actual power consumption. The formula
is (Total power consumption x 1.5)/(Rated power supply x 87.5%).
The APM30H and TMC11H need to use different power terminals to supply power to the IDUs.
Therefore, note the following points when configuring the power supply:
l For the APM30H, use LOAD4 to LOAD7 to supply power to the OptiX RTN 950.

NOTE
For a power terminal that supplies power to the OptiX RTN 950, change the fuse capacity to 15 A
and ensure that the equipment power consumption is not higher than 460 W.
l If the TMC11H uses the DCDU-03B, use LOAD6 to LOAD8 to supply power to the OptiX
RTN 950. For the OptiX RTN 950, ensure that the power consumption is not higher than
368 W.
l If the TMC11H uses the DCDU-03C, use LOAD7 and LOAD8 to supply power to the
OptiX RTN 950. For the OptiX RTN 950, ensure that the power consumption is not higher
than 184 W.

If the APM30H/TMC11H meets the surge protection and grounding requirements of base
stations, it also meets the corresponding requirements of IDUs.
Figure 2-11 and Figure 2-12 show the ground connections for installing IDUs in outdoor

NOTE
When installing an IDU in an outdoor cabinet, adhere to the following surge protection and grounding
requirements:
l The IDU is connected to a PGND cable and the ground bar on the cabinet.
l The service cable need not be grounded.
l The IF cables are grounded at a position 0.5 m to 1.0 m away from the outdoor cabinet.

When the base station and IDU need to be interconnected through E1 cables in the APM30H/
TMC11H, the APM30H/TMC11H requires a DDF inside.
Two types of DDFs can be installed in the APM30H/TMC11H, namely, surge-protective DDF
and ordinary DDF. For interconnection between the base station and the IDU in the APM30H/
TMC11H, cables are routed only inner the APM30H/TMC11H and therefore an ordinary DDF
is preferred.
The installed DDF needs to meet the following requirements:
l The DDF complies with the corresponding China and international standards.
l The DDF capacity meets the capacity requirement of this project and prepare for long-term
planning.
l The type of the delivered IF cables matches with the type of the connectors on the DDF.
l The DDF is connected to the PGND in the cabinet through a cooper wire whose cross-
sectional area is not shorter than 6 mm2.


If the ambient environment of the APM30H/TMC11H meets the requirements of base stations,
it also meets the requirements of IDUs.
The APM30H and TMC11H can both be used as outdoor cabinets and require similar operating
environment. The requirements for environment parameters are listed in Table 2-2.
