3.3 RRU Power Cable
An RRU power cable is a -48 V DC shielded cable. It feeds -48 V DC power into an RRU.
Exterior
An RRU power cable has an easy power receptacle (pressfit type) connector at one end and bare
wires at the other end. Proper terminals are added to the bare wires based on the connector on
the external power device, as shown in Figure 3-2.
The cross-sectional area of an RRU power cable can be either 3.3 mm
