Handling of assembly
To avoid any damage due to improper installation, please keep in mind below points:
AVOID any additional stress on assembly head by twisting or bending when routing or locating it
AVOID installation path around any sharp objects
AVOID uncontrolled knocking of assembly head on any hard object
AVOID any contact of assembly head with any additional substance such as glue/oil/fat etc. un-
less prior authorization is given by HUBER+SUHNER AG
INSTALLATION OF RRH SIDE OF ASSEMBLY
Step 1
Mount the cable spool onto suitable de-reeling equip-
ment. Start unwinding side where the MLUH connector
head is located (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
Remove the MLUH connector head from the mounting
bracket by unscrewing the two fixing screws.
Screws are retained by integral retaining washers.
Step 3
Secure the mounting bracket with hose clamps (when
fitting to a pole/mast) or screws (when fitting to a wall).
Various mounting slots provided for different pole di-
ameters.
Comment: Take length of break-out and jumpers in
consideration when the bracket is positioned on the
mast.
Step 4
Rig a rope to allow cable assembly to be hoisted up. Fit
carabiner through pulling eye.
• Pull Assembly up the mast.
Important:
Only use pulling eye on MLUH connector head or hoist-
ing grip if provided.
Step 5
Hook-in MLUH head at mounting bracket and secure
with retained screws.

Step 6
Fix cable to the mast using suitable clamps. Recom-
mended spacing between clamps is 1m. Clamps should
be applied to hybrid cable starting from a point 1m be-
low the housing proceeding down to the bottom of the
mast.
NOTE: MLUH head needs to be mounted on the
bracked before any other fixing point such as clamps
are used. Make sure that the smallest approved bend-
ing radius of cable is not undershot at any point of in-
stallation.
Step 7
Earth assembly to the mast using an earth link. Recom-
mendation is 16mm²/6AWG with M8 lugs.
NOTE: the earthing cable can also come in black.
Step 8
The remote radios are connected with fiber optic jump-
ers, which are terminated with Q-ODC plug connectors
and RRH compatible interfaces. The power jumpers are
terminated with a rugged circular plastic plug connector
and are blunt cut on the RRH side.
Step 9
Comment: All connectors (fiber optic and power) are
protected with water proof (IP67) dust caps. Therefore
the MLUH can be installed and left at the mast for later
installation of jumpers.
Step 10
Connect power jumper on left side of connector head
by aligning keyways and secure using integral retaining
nut (3 RRH shown connected in picture).
NOTE: The power jumper and power tail on connector
head need to be aligned in the right keying position.
The jumper then needs to screwed onto the tail until a
“click” sound is heard.

Step 11
Connect FO jumper on right side of connector head by
aligning keyway and secure by pushing to latch mecha-
nism (3 RRH shown connected in picture).
Step 12
If required a protective cover can be easily fitted over
MLUH connector head.
Step 13
Ensure smooth routing of all cables from connector
head to RRH equipment using suitable cable clamps not
cable ties.
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 4
Feed tails through cabinet/cabin.
Step 5
Mark the “strip-back point” using tape.
Step 6
Feed gland nut over cable to secure to cable entry
gland if required.
Step 7
Unwind black tape at cable butt to reveal rip cord.

Step 9
Remove cable jacket carefully.
Step 10
Unwrap copper tape from cable using gloves due to
potential sharp edges up to the “strip-back point”.
Step 11
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 12
Carefully unwind the fibre optic cable element from the
DC tails and from a loop to separate it.
Step 13
During this process (at any stage) ensure the fibre op-
tics are not kinked where they exit the cable butt.
Use tape to protect the FO cable against overbending.

tection.
Step 16
Measure (twice) the required DC tail length and cut
them.
Step 17
DO NOT CUT AT ANY STAGE THE FIBRE OPTIC ELE-
MENT
Step 18

If earthing is required outside cabinet/cabin use univer-
sal grounding kit and follow separate instructions.
NOTE: the earthing cable can also come in black.
Step 20
Store any fibre optic cable over-length inside base sta-
tion by using cable over-length storage box which can
be mounted on a wall, panel or mounted horizontally
within an equipment rack.
Step 21
Release snap-lock fastener using a screwdriver.
Step 22
Carefully remove protective tube to gain access to fibre
optic tails.
Step 23
Route fibre optic tails carefully and following a smooth
route to their respective connection points. Remove
dust caps of LC connectors and plug into equipment.
Step 24
Do NOT clean LC before connecting them to the
equipment. LCs are factory cleaned and verified to en-
sure optimal performance. Cleaning during installation
potentially decreases performance.
