4 INSTALLATION
This chapter describes the installation of the RAU5x. For specific guidelines on infrastructure planning, design and
installation, please consult with a Corning product line manager or Corning approved Installer.
The installation procedure differs according to your site deployment and add-ons settings, based on the following criteria:
• The add-ons installed in your site (RxU67, RxU2325, GEM)
• The installation position (Wall / Ceiling)
• The number of RAU units per position (single / dual)
• The type of installation (green-field / brown-field)
To install the RAU5x follow these steps:
1. Verify Package Contents
2. Assemble Relevant Add-ons
3. Mount the RAU5x
Note: When RxU67 is added to an already installed RAU5x, the cavity filter is connected differently: on the RAU5x side panel.
For this scenario, refer to the on-site expansion instructions.
In each step, refer to the instructions relevant to your specific site deployment
Note: For specific guidelines on infrastructure planning, design and installation, please consult with a Corning product line
manager or Corning approved Installer.
The remote end site (RF coverage) installation consists of installing the ICU and RAU5xs.
General Information
1. The RAU5x must always be mounted parallel to the ceiling (horizontal) or wall (vertical) with a 1-in clearance from the
surface on the back and front to allow for proper cooling airflow and for heat dissipation.
2. Required ambient temperature:
• Wall-mount installations (vertical): 45
◦
C [113
◦
F]
• Ceiling-mount installations (horizontal): 50
◦
C [122
◦
F]
3. The RAU5x is provided with a standoff mount used for mounting on the wall or concrete ceilings (including above acoustic
ceiling mounts). Additional mounting accessory kits are available (ordered separately):
• BR-RAU5US-TOP: “Lift Bracket” for floating ceilings tile, mid-mount installation
• BR-RAU5US-Wall: Wall-mount bracket; Supports up to two remote access units back-to-back
4. Weight:
Note: Weight applies to both RAU5 and RAU5x units.
• RAU5x alone: 10 lbs (4.54 kg)
• RAU5x + RxU2325 + GEM: 14.39 lbs (6.5 kg)
• RAU5x + RxU67 + RxU2325: 14.39 lbs (6.5 kg)
• External antenna: 3.7 lbs (1.7 kg)
5. A broadband antenna is required for RAU5x models ordered without a preassembled connected antenna (see Table 4-1
for RAU5x models).
6. External cavity filters are required for installations in which remote access units (excluding RxU67, where the filter of the
700MHz LTE is not relevant) supporting the corresponding CELL and LTE bands are deployed alongside units supporting
