Requirements for Hybriflex cable
Overview
This section specifies the requirements for the Hybriflex cable, which connects the DC
Distribution/Fiber Management Box to the RRH. The Hybriflex cable contains fiber optic
and DC power cables.
Hybriflex cable between DC Distribution/Fiber Management Box and RRHs
The fiber optic and DC power cables branch out at the pole end from the Hybriflex cable.
The individual cables are 4.6 m (15 feet) long.
The Hybriflex cable provided by Alcatel-Lucent meets the following requirements:
• Outdoor rated
• Temperature rating: operation -40 to +85 °C (-40 to 185 °F), storage -55 to +85 °C
(-67 to 185 °F)
• Bend radius: 15 x outside diameter (15 x ___ mm = _____ mm)
• Fiber count: 5
• DC power wire count: 4 pairs
• Fiber type: multi-mode
• Attenuation: 0.5 dB/km
• Rugged cable
• Connectors: LC duplex connectors are provided at both ends of fiber cables.
• Maximum tensile load; 800 newtons for installation
• Maximum tensile load; 500 newtons for operation
• UL 1666, flame retardent
• UL listed type OFNR
An excess cable length must be coiled at one or both ends and properly protected.
Note: To avoid damage to the fiber optic cable, extra care must be exercised by using
fiber management paper and loosely fastening the fiber optic cable to the cable rack.
The fiber optic cable bend radius must be as gradual as possible [15 x diameter of
cable (15x7mm=105mm)].
Description of Hybriflex cable (supplied by Alcatel-Lucent)
The Hybriflex cable is routed from the DC Distribution/Fiber Management Box to the
RRHs. It provides -48 VDC power and fiber optic links to each RRH.
The Hybriflex cable consists of a plastic coated, flexible metallic jacket that is weather
and sunlight resistant. It contains six multi-mode fiber optic cables and four 8 AWG,
stranded copper conductor pairs.
