The common problems of feeder cable installation

The type of problem
The feeder cable connector 1.The connector is not screwed well 2.The VSWR is high

The standards of Quality

1The cut surface remain flat, and on the top wave of screw thread 2It is necessary that rasp flat to the surface of kerf Feeder cable use the rasp. 3The connector of feeder cable is made in a standard way without any loose connection. 1Waterproof and sealed measures for all outdoor jumpers and feeder cables should be correctly adopted according to specifications. 2The labels of communication cables, feeder cables and jumper should be stuck and tied according to specifications. The labels should be arranged in an orderly way with same direction. 3It is necessary that black strap outdoor and white indoor. 1The installation position of feeder should be accorded with the design document.; 2The feeder cables can not cross after distributed. In the room they should be neat and straight with same bend; 3The space between feeder clamps should be even and their direction should be same after installed. They should also be fixed firmly without any loose connection; 4The antenna jumper and the feeder cable before the feeder winder must have waterproof bends. 5The feeder grounding clip is directly fixed on the steel sheet of the tower perfectly. The installation of this clip must accord with the standard requirement. The antirust, anticorrosive and waterproof measures are adopted for the grounding clip and reliable connection.

Check method

. When the feeder cables is bent on the top of a building and then extended downward along the wall, the protective means should be used for the parts of contact with the wall corner. When the feeder cable enter to room along the roof, the feeder cable clips should be used to fix the feeder cables.

Feeder cable is not grounding earth

Problem: There is no grounding bar and no grounding earth.

. The feeder cable should be earthed at three points at least between the top of tower and the equipment room (within one meter away from the platform on the top of tower, within one meter between the tower body and the outdoor cabling ladder, and within one meter between the feeder cable and the feeder window). The feeder cable is tied firmly at the grounding points and has perfect waterproof treatments.

Check item
The connector of feeder cable is made in a standard way without any loose connection. Waterproof and sealed measures for all outdoor jumpers and feeder cables should be correctly adopted according to specifications. The redundant part of a grounding cable or power cable or feeder should be cut and cannot be coilled. The feeder cables should not have obvious bending and twisting and bare copper appearance. The minimum bending radius of a feeder cable should not be less than 20 times of its diameter. When the feeder cable is bent on the top of a building and then extended downward along the wall, the protective means should be used for the parts of contact with the wall corner. When the feeder cable enter to room along the roof, the feeder clamps should be used to fix the feeder cable. The feeder cable should be earthed at three points at least between the top of tower and the equipment room (within one meter away from the platform on the top of tower, within one meter between the tower body and the outdoor cabling ladder, and within one meter between the feeder cable and the feeder window). The feeder cable is tied firmly at the grounding points and has perfect waterproof treatments. The antenna jumper and the feeder cable before the feeder winder must have waterproof bends.

The space between feeder clamps should be even and their direction should be same after installed. They should also be fixed firmly without any loose connection; When a feeder window is installed on the top of building to lead the feeder cable into the room, it must be sealed well. The antenna jumper and the feeder cable before the feeder winder must have waterproof bends. The feeder cables can not cross after distributed. In the room they should be neat and straight with same bend; The grounding cable of feeder clips should extend from up to down. The angle between the grounding cable and the feeder cable should not be more than 15 degrees. The feeder grounding clip is directly fixed on the steel sheet of the tower perfectly. The installation of this clip must accord with the standard requirement. The antirust, anticorrosive and waterproof measures are adopted for the grounding clip and reliable connection.

The angle When the tower is more than 60 meters, add a grounding clip to the feeder in the middle of the tower If the length of feeder cable from the tower to the room on the roof (or cabling ladder) is more than 20 meters, a lightning-proof protection grounding clip should be added on the roof (or cabling rack). When the front of cabinet is parallel to the feeder cable inside the room or the back of cabinet faces it, a sector is in line and the order of each line should be same. When the front of cabinet is vertical to the feeder cable inside the room, a sector is in row and the order of each row should be same.
