 Site Solutions from Rosenberger address your network connectivity needs for today and the future

There is a huge demand for high-speed data transfer in today’s global mobile telecommunication networks. Fiber-fed
remote radio technology offers potential savings in both capital expenditure (CapEx) and operating expense (OpEx)
reductions compared with traditional coaxial cable-based solutions.

The connectivity performance between the base station and RRU/Antenna is essential to maintaining the quality of
service between the network and end-user. There are two methods of implementation: a single hybrid cable assembly
(containing multiple fiber and DC power feeds) or utilizing several individual power and fiber cable feeds in parallel.
Rosenberger, a professional site solutions provider, offers both to meet a variety of customer applications.

The New Generation of FTTA Cabling − Hybrid Solutions are effective in streamlining operations when
replacing traditional base station equipment with RRUs or upgrading a site to support RRUs. A single hybrid cable
provides multiple fiber and power conductors. This is advantageous as it consolidates space and can provide room for
growth for additional RRUs.

Rosenberger pre-terminated hybrid cable assemblies minimize the amount of cables running up the tower. A single
hybrid cable provides several fiber and power conductors to support multiple RRUs. The flexible lightweight aluminum
corrugated cable allows operators to ground the cabling system. To simplify installation, the hybrid cable outer dimension
follows standard feeder dimensions (1/2”, 7/8”, or 1-1/4”) and enables use of standard feeder clamps, grounding kits.

allow connection between the hybrid cable and any vendor-specific hardware interface.

EasylinkTM Hybrid Solution is the best choice for operators who lease space on tower cell sites. It reduces annual leasing
costs by reducing the space utilized on the tower. Plug-and-Play connections minimize installation time and require no
tools.

Features and Benefits:

• Plug-and-play installation

Traditional Hybrid Solution is a typical design using a hybrid cable and distribution box. The cable runs from the BBU up
the tower to a weatherproof distribution box at the top. The distribution box provides the interconnection point for power
and signal between the tower cable and the jumpers leading to the RRUs. The Distribution box can include over-voltage
protection (OVP). A secondary distribution box at the bottom is optional.

Towers containing multiple sectors can be a supported by multiple hybrid trunks. For example, 12 RRUs can be
supported with only three RRU trunk cables running up the tower.

Features and Benefits:

• Hybrid tail jumpers instead of individual fiber and power jumpers
• Flexibility to replace or upgrade RRUs by changing Hybrid tail jumpers
• IP67 Hybrid distribution box for fiber and power
