solution to combine
optical fiber and DC power for Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) in a single,
high-performance lightweight aluminum corrugated cable.
With RFS' patented single-cable architecture, mobile operators can connect up
to three sectors with a single composite optical fiber and power cable with the
grounding function incorporated directly in the cable. This breakthrough
approach reduces the number of RRH cables required from nine to one to
dramatically simplify and cut the costs of installation while enabling
significant operational savings. Installation
of stripped fiber optic cable pairs directly to the RRH eliminates the need for
expensive junction boxes and limits wind load. Incorporating the grounding
function, which is critical to RRHs, also eliminates the need for and cost of
cable grounding. For
maximum flexibility, HYBRIFLEX can be connectorized on-site. Alternatively,
pre-connectorized solutions and services are available to help standardize the
RRH cabling process.
