System Overview 3.2 Networking Layout K-BOW enables different networking layouts as shown in Fig. 2. The following applies: C-hub ●● The C-hub supports a star network: ●● The Master C-hub can connect to a maximum of 2 slave C-hubs simultaneously. ●● A maximum of 5 slave devices including E-hub and RU cascade per fibre port of C-hub. E-hub ●● The E-hub supports a daisy-chained network (E-hub to E-hub) and a star-type network (E-hub to HPRU).
3.3 Main Functionality The system includes the access unit (C-hub), expansion unit (E-hub) and remote unit (RU). 3.3.1 C-Hub ●● Frame radio-frequency signals from base stations of different base transceiver stations of different operators, and of different standards and frequency bands. ●● Convert the analog signal to digital signals using ADC technology ●● Transmit the composite signal to the E-hub and RU. Fig. 3: 3.3.
System Overview 3.3.3 E-Hub ●● Receive the WLAN and small cell signals base station via 6 GigE Ethernet ports. ●● Reframe with optical signal from the C-hub. ●● Transmit the composite signal to next level E-hub and RU. Fig. 5: 3.3.4 E-hub front view HPRU ●● Conduct digital-analog conversion and power amplification of the input signals. ●● Each RU can support up to 2 RF signals output with different frequency bands. ●● Redistribute WLAN and small cell signals via an Ethernet port.
4 WLAN Access (Wi-Fi) Each E-hub has 6 electrical ports, GE1 to GE6, which support up to 6 LAN signals. LAN signals are input on the GE1 to GE6 ports and output from the corresponding OP1 to OP6 ports. The signals are then transmitted to the RUs via optical signals over optical fibre and output from the GE port on the RU. Each RU connects to an AP device through their respective GE port. Thus, 6 independent Gigabit Ethernet transmission channels can be completed. See Fig. 7 for connection details and Fig.

Connection to the power supply must be performed by a trained, qualified and authorised specialist. Notice Risk of damage to the cables! There is a risk of malfunctions if cables are damaged because they are bent more than the minimum bend radius permits, or if cable fasteners are overtightened. Such damage is not evident from outside and will lead to signal errors.
Cabling 7.2.2 Cabling the Fibre Optics Connections ✔✔ The fibre optic cables for connecting the hubs and RUs are provided. 1. Carefully insert the required SFP modules.

7.3 Helpful Hints for Cabling 7.3.1 Measuring Fibre Optic Cables After cabling with fibre optic cables that have been assembled on site, it is necessary to check whether the fibre optic cables are still functioning. The purpose of this is to detect joints, for instance at plug connections, and damaged cables. A. Using an OTDR measurement device1), check every fibre optic lead for reflection points. If necessary, use a lead-through fibre. B. Save the measurement results in the measurement device. C.
System Documentation 8 System Documentation It is suggested to store the system documentation in a document drawer in the main rack. The system documentation consists of the following documents: Documents Description Special instructions Floor plans Describes the planned routing of all cables not within the racks; two examples are provided for each floor plan.
