Table 1. Revision History
Issue Document Date Technical Updates
1April 2012 Original
2February 2013 Changed Prism remote Unit model names from Single-/Dual-/Tri-/Quad-Band to
Single-/Dual-/Tri-/Quad-Bay; updated Table 4 on page 10 to add new RF Modules; removed the
Specifications section, which included the RF and Optical Specifications and the Frequency and
Composite Output Power at Antenna Port (dBm) for Prism Remote Units tables; to access these
performance specifications, refer to the FlexWave Prism Performance Specifications (TECP-77-201);
updated “Contacting TE Connectivity” on page 46.
3May 2013 Updated “Accessing User Documentation on the TE Customer Portal” on page 4; added
“Understanding the RF Module Cables” on page 15; updated “Connect the RF Module Cables” on
page 37.
4October 2013 Added support for the following HDM RF Modules, in conjunction with Prism EMS Software Release
8.1.1: HDM AWS Band 4 MIMO 20W; HDM AWS Band 4 SISO 40W; HDM PCS Band 25 SISO 40W
(see Table 4 on page 10); updated Table 2 on page 3.

UNDERSTANDINGTHERFMODULECABLES
BeforeyouinstalltheRFModulecables,familiarizeyourselfwiththerulesthatpertaintothese
cables,asdefinedinthefollowingsections.
AlwaysprovidedateachRFModuleshelfarefivecables:
•twoHigh‐SpeedDataCables,whichinthisdocumentarereferredtoasLVDS(Low‐Voltage
DifferentialSignaling)cables
•twoRFCables(TX0/RX0)and(TX1/RX1)
•onePower(PWR)Cable.
PowerCableConnection
Maintainadequatestrainreliefdistancesfromtheconnectionpointstothemodule.
LVDSCableConnections
•LVDScableslabeledPRIMandDIVshouldalwayseitherbeconnectedtoaRFModuleorstrain
relievedtoadjacentcables,asthisprotectsthecableagainstdamagethroughmisplacement.
•AlignandfullyinserttheLVDScableconnectorsintotheirrespectiveconnectorcages.Full
insertionisidentifiedbyanaudibleclick.
•EnsurethetwoLVDScablesarefullyseatedandlatchedintotheirrespectivereceptacleson
theRFModulebylightlypullingoutwardontheconnectors.Iffullyseatedandlockedinto
position,thecableconnectorswillnotslidebackout.
•Maintainadequatestrain‐reliefdistancesfromtheconnectionpointstotheRFModule.
RFCableConnections
TheRFModulecablesthatarepre‐installedinthePRUconnecttothecorrespondingconnectors
ontheRFModule.TheRFModulecablescorrelatetotheantennaconnectorsonthebottomofthe
PRUchassis.

RFCableRules
•WheninstallingaDiversity,MIMOorDual‐BandRFModule,bothRFcableslabeledMODN
TX0/RX0andMODNTX1/RX1shallbeconnectedtotheN‐StyleconnectionsoftheRF
Module.
•WheninstallingaNon‐DiversityorSISORFModule:
–TheMODNTX0/RX0cableshallbeconnectedtothesingleavailableN‐StyleRF
ConnectionoftheRFModule.
–TheMODNTX1/RX1cableshallbeconstrainedtotheexistingcablesusingatiewrapor
similarlyacceptedfastenersoitcannotbepinchedorpreventthePRUdoorfromclosing.
DonotcutorattempttootherwiseremovethisRFCable.
•RFcablesarehand‐formable;however,cablesmustadheretoaminimumbendradiusof
1‐inchfromtheoutletoftheintegratedcableguidetotherespectiveN‐StyleRFconnection
ontheRFModule.
RFModuleCablesforSingle‐Card,Dual‐Card,andHDMRFModules
TheRFcableandconnectorlabelsalsocorrespondtotheRFModuleslotsinthePRUchassis,
whereMODAisthebottomslotandMODDisthetopslot.Intheinstallationsteps,theRFcables
andconnectorsarereferredtoasMODNTX0/RX0andasMODNTRX1whereNequalsA,B,C,orD.
ThecablesandconnectorshavecorrespondinglabelsasshowninTable7forSingle‐Card,
