RRH END OF ASSEMBLY
Step 1 Mount the cable spool onto suitable de-reeling equipment.
Start unwinding side where the braided tube is attached
(picture to the right). Do not pull side where pulling tube is
attached. Make sure, that the spool can turn freely when
unspooling.
Step 2 Rig a rope to allow cable assembly to be hoisted up
Feed the rope through the loop in the braided tube and
down onto the cable hoist.
Pull Assembly up the mast.
Important: NEVER pull on the divider or the breakout
(Fiber optic or power itself), only pull on the hybrid cable
below the divider using cable hoist.

Step 3 Remove cable tie from braided tube end to get access to
the housing.
Once the divider is at the desired height and po-
sition, proceed to the next step. Do NOT yet fix it
to the mast.
Comment:Take length of break-out and jumpers in con-
sideration when the divider is positioned on the mast.
Step 4 Inspect condition of assembly especially the housing.
If any damage is detected do not install.
Step 5 Fix housing to mast using mounting adapter.
Be careful not to damage it by over-tightening the clamp.
Only fix with tube clamps, as indicated in picture. For 6/7
configuration it is ideal to locate the band under the mold-
ed lip on the enclosure.

Step 6 Fix cable to the mast using suitable clamps.
Recommended spacing between clamps is 1m.
Clamps should be applied to hybrid cable starting from
a point 1m below the housing proceeding down to the
bottom of the mast.
Step 7 Earth assembly to the mast using an earth link.
Recommendation is 16mm²/xxAWG with Mxx lugs.
Step 8 Connect DC tails to relevant RRH as specified by the
RRH manufacturer.
FO and DC tails are numbered to aid identification.
Images 3 and 4 show pre-terminated DC jumpers con-
nected to the MLEH DC tails.
Step 9 Do NOT use cable ties to secure FO or DC tail as these
may cause damage.

Step 10 Comment:All connectors (fiber optic and power) are
protected with water proof (IP67) dust caps. Therefore the
MLE hybrid can be installed and left at the mast for later
installation of jumpers.
Step 11 Remove protective cap from FO tail ready to connect
RRH Jumper.
Do NOT clean Q-ODC before connecting them
together. Q-ODCs are factory cleaned and veri-
fied to ensure optimal performance. Cleaning
during installation potentially decreases perfor-
mance.
Step 12 Connect FO and DC tails with RRH jumper. Use clamps
delivered with the cable to fix the connectors.

BASE STATION END OF ASSEMBLY
Step 1 After unwinding the whole assembly from the reel, while
handling the assembly make sure to leave the pulling
tube as long as possible on the assembly.
Pulling tube ensures IP65 and gives protection to the FO
and DC tails inside.
Step 2 To remove protective tube hold tube and loosen gland
nut.
Do NOT twist the tube at any stage of removal.
Pull tube off to reveal the tails within.
Step 3 Remove gland nut from cable.

cess to the cable elements within.
Step 5 Use a screwdriver (or similar) to cut the cable jacket back
to marked distance.
Step 6 Remove cable jacket carefully.
Step 7 Unwrap copper tape from cable using gloves due to po-
tential sharp edges up to the “strip-back point”.

Step 8 Make sure not to leave any sharp edges where the cop-
per foil goes under the jacket: carefully remove excess foil
with pin-nosed pliers and then cover it with tape.
Step 9 Carefully unwind the fibre optic cable element from the
DC tails and from a loop to separate it.
Step 10 During this process (at any stage) ensure the fibre optics
are not kinked where they exit the cable butt.
Step 11 Once fiber optic cable is separated from DC wires, attach
it temporarily to base station to keep it secure and clean.
