ZINWAVE 2700 DAS - INSTALLATION AND TECHNICAL MANUAL Page ii
INTRODUCTION
This document describes the insta ation and technica specifications for the ZinWave 2700 Distributed Antenna System
(DAS). The 2700 DAS comprises a Hub Unit (HU) and remote Antenna Units (AUs) with Sma Form P uggab e (SFP)
modu es providing the RF to Optica interface. The simp e view of the ZinWave 2700 DAS is that it enab es down ink
radio signa s to be converted into RF modu ated optica signa s at the HU and then transmitted to remote AUs over any
optica fibre medium (sing e mode or mu timode) where the optica RF signa is converted back into pure radio signa s for
radiation from attached Antennae. Radio signa s from c ient devices take an up ink path back through the AU, via fibre to
the Hub. The system enab es the Antennae to be situated remote y from the RF signa source by arge distances that
wi vary depending on the choice of fibre type used, but at east 550m for 62.5um diameter fibre and at east 2000m for
sing e mode fibre. Unique y, the 2700 DAS has a broadband frequency response that wi accept and transmit RF
signa s ranging from 370 MHz to 2.5 GHz enab ing a range of ce u ar and data service formats to be propagated without
down conversion or intervention at their carrier frequency. Services that can be carried over the 2700 system inc ude
TETRA, GSM, CDMA, TDMA, UMTS, iDEN, WLAN, Paging, DCS, EDGE, EVDO and DECT. In addition, the HU has a
programmab e combiner that simp y enab es the radio signa channe s to be connected to one or mu tip e optica
channe s or combined with other services to mu tip e optica channe s providing mu ti-service radio transmission to the
AUs. Each channe comprises a fu dup ex up ink/down ink pair, and the HU has software configurab e up ink/down ink
gain and attenuation contro . A band-specific AU, the 2776, is a so avai ab e which provides higher power output for US
Ce u ar and PCS services.
The HU is a 1U 19” rack mountab e form factor which can accept up to four concurrent RF services via dup ex SMA RF
ports at the rear of the modu e and transmit on up to 8 optica channe s via unique ana og dup ex Sma Form P uggab e
(SFP) optica modu es p ugged into sockets in the front pane of the modu e. Each RF channe is a ways connected to at
east 2 optica channe s. Accepted combination options inc ude 1x2, 1x4, 1x8, 2x2, 2x4, 2x8, 3x2, 3x8, 4x2, 4x8 (each of
x inputs to y outputs). Where x and y are both numbers greater than 2, this imp ies that the RF channe s are being
combined onto mu tip e optica channe s. Visib e warning LEDs are incorporated to show individua channe status and
overa system status.
The SFP modu es are bui t to fit the physica form of the internationa standard for digita modu es, but specifica y
operate as ana og parts. They are made p uggab e so that the HU need on y be popu ated with those optica channe s
required at any particu ar time, so providing a ow cost but sca eab e so ution. The interface between the SFP and the
customer fibre backbone is via custom ZinWave patchcords, with LC connectors at the HU end and any connector of
customer equipment choice at the ink end. The SFP modu es incorporate SFP industry standard a arms and contro
features.
The 2760 AUs use an SFP as the fibre to RF transceiver whereas the 2776 AUs have integrated transceivers. Both AUs
a so incorporate software configurab e up ink/down ink gain and attenuation contro and radiate/receive RF signa s via
Antennae connected to SMA ports on the unit. Power for the AU is via an RJ45 connector which accepts industry
standard Power over Ethernet (PoE) 48V DC supp y.
The antennas are separate to the antenna unit as the specification of these wi depend upon the service dep oyed using
the system. A typica dep oyment is to use two patch antenna, one for the up ink and one for the down ink.
Software contro of the HU is PC based from which both configuration of the System (via Command Line Interface (CLI))
and ongoing user contro (via Simp e Network Management Protoco (SNMP) over the internet) of the System can be
achieved. The SNMP Management Interface Base (MIB) is constructed to a ow contro via any third party SNMP
manager such as HP Openview. Direct user contro is simp e and achieved through a Graphica User Interface (GUI)
which is supp ied disk with the system. The RS232 connector for the CLI is situated at the back of the HU whi e internet
connectivity is via an RJ45 connector, a so at the rear of the HU. Software contro features inc ude up ink/down ink gain
and attenuation settings on both the HU and AU, RF path combiner contro and digita diagnostics for the Optica Link.

2 OVERVIEW OF THE ZINWAVE 2700 DAS 60
2.1 Introd ction 61
The ZinWave 2700 DAS is a simp e 2-stage DAS, uti ising either mu timode optica fibre (MMF) or sing emode optica 62
fibre (SMF) to connect the two system units together. 63
64
The ZinWave 2700 DAS unifies the distribution of mu tip e ce u ar and WLAN signa s over a sing e cab ing infrastructure 65
and supports current and future wire ess techno ogies. Initia support is provided in the frequency range 370 -2500 MHz 66
which covers the fo owing services: TETRA, GSM, CDMA, TDMA, UMTS, iDEN, WLAN (IEEE 802.11b/g), Paging, DCS, 67
EDGE, EVDO, DECT. 68
69
The programmab e RF combiner within the ZinWave 2700 Hub Unit enab es a wide variety of “RF to antenna” mappings 70
and provides the f exibi ity to move/add capacity as needed within the bui ding without the need to change the dep oyed 71
antenna devices. 72
73
ZinWave’s patented techno ogy a ows the mu timode or sing emode optica fibres specified for structured (or generic) 74
cab ing by the fo owing standards to be used as the transmission system: 75
• North America: ANSI/TIA/EIA-568 series; 76
• European: EN 50173 series; 77
• internationa : ISO/IEC 11801. 78
79
NOTE: Optima performance of the ZinWave 2700 DAS may require the re-termination of the optica fibres within egacy 80
mu timode optica fibre infrastructures insta ed using components meeting the above mentioned standards. This is 81

The extended channe engths over which the ZinWave 2700 DAS operates using these cab ing systems (see 2.4) 93
enab es centra ised ocation of a equipment within even the argest bui dings. This in turn: 94
• provides enhanced network security by a owing a vu nerab e devices to be p aced in one secure ocation; 95
• reduces equipment and support costs; 96
• provides the abi ity to remote y maintain and upgrade WLAN APs etc. 97

2.2 The components 100
The ZinWave 2700 DAS units are: 101
• the ZinWave 2700 H b Unit (HU): which comprises a ZinWave 2700 Hub, a stackab e 1U high 19” rack mount 102
device, supporting four independent RF (370 - 2500 MHz) service inputs/outputs, together with up to eight ZinWave 2780 103
Sma Form P uggab e (SFP) optica fibre transceiver modu es (see c ause 3.1);. Each ZinWave 2780 SFP modu e 104
supports a ZinWave 2760 antenna unit 105
• the ZinWave 2760 M lti-service Antenna Unit (AU): a sma enc osure designed for unobtrusive insta ation with 106
separate antennas in an office environment 107
• the ZinWave 2776 Narrow-band Antenna Unit (AU): a wa -mounted enc osure designed for insta ation with a 108
separate antenna in an office environment. 109
110
111
2.3 The technology 112
ZinWave’s patented techno ogy renders conventiona MMF a practica transmission medium for wideband, high 113
frequency, radio frequency (RF) signa s by extending the bandwidth of egacy, in-situ, cab ing to permit the transmission 114
of mu tip e RF signa s, supporting different services, at origina carrier frequency over ong distances using ow cost 115
uncoo ed transceivers. 116
117
118
2.4 The system 119
The ZinWave transceivers within the hub and antenna units are “fibre agnostic” i.e. they can be used with either 50/125 120
mm or 62.5/125 µm MMF. ZinWave 2700 channe s can be up to 550 metres ong provided that the MMF cab e has a 121
moda bandwidth of at east 500MHz.km @ 1300 nm. 122
123
This ength of channe is more than adequate to faci itate a high qua ity, broadband, in-bui ding coverage extension 124
system for mu tip e, simu taneous wire ess feeds for 2G/3G Base stations, WLAN APs, TETRA etc 125
126
Without ZinWave’s techno ogy, such distances can on y be achieved in most scenarios by expensive re-cab ing of 127
bui dings using coaxia cab es or sing e mode optica fibre, or by reverting to narrowband techniques which restrict the 128
systems’ capabi ity. 129
130
The ZinWave DAS is idea y suited to app ications where mu tip e ce u ar and/or WLAN services are required and can be 131
easi y configured for various dep oyment scenarios such as .at campuses, arge high-rise bui dings and mu ti-tenanted 132
units. 133
134
NOTE: In the US and Canada, on y the use of the Cisco® Aironet ®1200 WLAN access point (Mode AIR-AP1231-A-K9) is 135
approved for connection to the 2700 hub for providing WLAN services. 136
137
NOTE: Optima performance of the ZinWave 2700 DAS may require the re-termination of the optica fibres within egacy 138
mu timode optica fibre infrastructures insta ed using components meeting the above mentioned standards. This is 139
dea t with in detai in c ause 4 140
141
NOTE: Channe s engths of up to 2000 metres can be de ivered, using the same 2700 System components, over SMF cab ing. 142
143
144
2.5 Integrated management software 145
Management of the ZinWave 2700 system is imp emented by proprietary software which a ows remote configuration via 146
the Wor d Wide Web, Te net and/or SNMP. The management system a ows Hub and Antenna Unit hea th monitoring 147
and provides a f exib e approach to both RF to Transceiver Distribution (see 4.8) and Gain Mapping (see 4.9). 148

3.4 Antenna 236
• The ZinWave DAS system can use a variety of Antennae connected to the Antenna Unit via Coax Cab e. The 237
choice of Antenna wi depend on the service requirement within the operationa bandwidth of the system. We 238
recommend the use of a broadband patch antenna with specifications isted be ow: 239
240
• Gain (Max): 8dBi 241
• Azimuth beamwidth: > 90° in a bands 242
• E evation beamwidth: Not ess than 45° in any band 243
• Front-to-back ratio >10dB 244
• Pattern squint: Less than 10° in both p anes in any band 245
• Po arization: Linear or circu ar (to be stated) 246
247
For examp e an antenna that meets this requirement is the Huber and Suhner 824-2500MHz P anar Antenna SWA 248
0824/55/8/0/V. 249
250
Warning and Safety. The antennas must be insta ed at a distance of greater than 20cm away from the proximity of 251
operators and intended operation. A maximum antenna gain of 8dBi shou d be used.252

3.5 M ltimode optical fibre terminations and cords 255
The imp ementation of the ZinWave 2700 DAS using mu timode optica fibre invo ves the contro of aunch conditions at 256
a cab ing interfaces within the transmission channe . 257
258
NOTE: High moda bandwidth 50/125 µm mu itmode optica fibres inc uding OM3 products specified in ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 259
50173-1 and the aser optimised products specified in ANSI/TIA/EIA-B.3 do not genera y require such contro s but are 260
not differentiated in this document. 261
262
Where mu timode optica fibres are to be used within ZinWave 2700 DAS channe s they sha be terminated by the fusion 263
sp icing of ZinWave high concentricity (hi-conn) pigtai s as isted in Tab e 3-8. 264
265
WARNING: On y fusion sp ice techniques sha be used to joint the insta ed optica fibres to the ZinWave hi-conn pigtai s. 266
Mechanica sp ices sha not be used 267
268
The bu khead adaptors (a so known as coup ers) into which the connectors of the pigtai s are fixed sha be those used 269
for sing emode optica fibre connections. These are not isted as ZinWave products since they wi be se ected to suit the 270
pane s into which they are fitted. 271
272
Crossconnections or patches (a patch is a crossconnection with identica connectors at each end) between mu timode 273
optica fibre pane s containing the terminations as described above sha be made via high concentricity (hi-conn) patch 274
cords as isted in Tab e 3-8. 275
276
Where ZinWave 2700 DAS Hub and Antenna Units are connected to mu timode optica fibre interfaces it is necessary to 277
use ZinWave 2700 equipment cords isted in Tab e 3-8. These dup ex cords feature an offset aunch in the “ aunch” eg 278
and must be connected in the correct orientatIon. 279
280
WARNING: ZinWave equipment cords are marked to indicate which is the aunch “ eg” and which end sha be connected to the 281
equipment. Incorrect connections can affect the performance of the DAS and in some cases ed to comp ete system 282
fai ure. 283

3.7 Telecomm nication O tlet (TO) connectivity 299
Each ZinWave 2760 or 2776 Antenna Unit is connected to a Te ecommunications Out et (TO) which terminates the 300
wire ess app ication over ay cab ing. 301
302
In order to simp ify the insta ation of the TO and the cab ing to the TO, the ZinWave components isted in Tab e 3-9 303
shou d be used. 304
305
The TO C osure is designed to a ow the connection of optica fibre cab ing and, where required, remote power via 306
“Power over Ethernet” to one or two ZinWave 2760 or 2776 Antenna Units. 307
