CMA-485-AEN
Five-Band Remote
Access Unit (RAU5x)
Quick Installation Sheet
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 airow and for heat dissipation.
Le RAU5x doit toujours être montée parallèlement au plafond (horizontal) ou au mur (verticale). Assurez-vous
qu’il y a un espace de un pouce à l’avant et à l’arrière an de permettre un ux d’air de refroidissement et
dissipation de chaleur adéquat.
2. Required ambient temperature:
• Wall-mountable installations (vertical): 45˚C [113˚F]
• Ceiling-mountable installations (horizontal): 50˚C [122˚F]
3. The RAU5x unit is provided with a mounting bracket 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: RAU5x bracket for oating ceilings tile, mid-mount installation
• BR-RAU5US-Wall: RAU5x remote bracket for wall-mountable installation; Supports up to two RAU5x units back-to-back
4. Add-on modules (i.e., RxU2325/GEM) are ordered separately and should be plugged into the RAU5x before
mounting the unit
5. A broadband antenna is required for RAU5x models ordered without a preassembled connected antenna.
6. External cavity lters are required for installations in which RAU5x modules supporting the corresponding CELL
and LTE bands are deployed alongside units supporting the Public Safety service. Installation instructions are
provided with each separately ordered lter (AK-CVT700; AK-CVT800).
GENERAL INFORMATION
This document provides instructions on how to mount the Corning®optical network evolution (ONE™) solutions RAU5x
unit and perform the required connections. The scope of this document includes connections to the RF expansion unit
(RxU2325) and Gigabit Ethernet module (GEM) (for installations including the plug-in add-on modules).

1. PACKAGE CONTENTS
Check your package contents to verify that the items in the packing list are included. If any of the listed
items are missing, contact your Corning representative.
2. LOCATE THE REQUIRED
CONNECTION CABLES
Step 1: Locate the following connection cables
leading from the cable infrastructure:
• DC wiring:
- One pair for MAIN POWER connection
- One pair for SECONDARY POWER
connection (for installations with GEM
add-on)
• Fiber pairs
(Corning®SMF-28® ber or compatible):
- One ber pair for RAU5x module
- One ber pair for GEM (for installations
with GEM add-on)
• Grounding wire
• For RAU5x models not including external
antenna – RF jumper cables from installed
external antenna

3. INSTALL ADD-ON MODULES
For installations with RxU2325/GEM — plug-in the add-on
modules (ordered separately). Refer to quick installation
sheet provided with each module for instructions.
4. INSTALL THE MOUNTING BRACKET
(WALL/CONCRETE CEILING)
Notes: • When mounting the bracket on a wall,
the captive screw (indicated in Figure 1)
should always be positioned in the same
direction as the RAU5x connectors.
• In wall-mountable installations, the
connectors should face downwards.
• If installing above acoustic ceiling, allow
for at least 1-in above the acoustic ceiling
for airow cooling.
Step 1: Remove the mounting bracket from the
RAU5x underside and use to mark and drill
appropriate holes for mounting the bracket
on the wall or concrete ceiling. Refer to
Appendix for bracket dimensions.
Any of the applicable screw holes can be
used.
Step 2: Drill the appropriate screws (not provided)
through the bracket installation holes and
secure to surface. See Figure 2.
Consider the weight of the RAU5x when
determining mounting surface and
appropriate mounting screws:
RAU5x only (no external antenna or plug-in
modules): 10 lbs (4.5 kg)
RAU5x and GEM: 11.1 lbs (5.03 kg)
External Antenna: 3.7 lbs (1.7 kg)
RxU2325: 3.08 lbs (1.4 kg)

5. MOUNTING RAU5X ONTO BRACKET
Note: The RAU5x connectors should face the
bracket captive screw.
Referring to Figure 3, perform the following steps:
Step 1: Insert the four RAU5x pins into the wide
ends of the bracket keyholes.
Step 2: Make sure that the bracket captive screw ts
into the designated half-slot on the RAU5x.
Step 3: Lock RAU5x pins into the narrow ends of the
bracket keyholes.
Step 4: Close captive screw to secure RAU5x and
bracket assembly.
6. SECURE SAFETY CABLE TO GRID
OR CEILING
IMPORTANT!
Using the supplied security cable, attach the RAU5x to
a permanent structure within the ceiling (e.g., acoustic
ceiling grid or concrete ceiling above).
FIXEZ LE CÂBLE DE SÉCURITÉ À LA
GRILLE OU AU PLAFOND
IMPORTANT!
À l’aide du câble de sécurité fourni, xez la RAU5x à
une structure permanente avec le plafond (par exemple
plafond acoustique gris ou plafond en béton).
7. GROUND, F/O, AND RF CABLE
CONNECTIONS
Step 1: Route the cables located in Section 2.
Step 2: Connect the earth ground to the RAU5x
8-32 x 3/8 grounding screw (one-hole
grounding lug required). See Figure 4 for
example of RAU5x ground connection.
Step 3: Connect ber optic pair to RAU5x module
LC APC optic connector. See Figure 4.
