6.1.2 Internal Power Cables

This section describes power cable connections between the power distribution units in
different cabinets.
Power Cable Connection in the Case of AC Power Supply

When an AC power supply is used in the base station, the external AC power is input to the
B121 subrack in the BC8910A cabinet. The B121 subrack converts the AC power into DC
power and distributes the DC power to the other cabinets. In this case, power cables of
the batteries are connected to corresponding battery interfaces (BATT) on the B121 power
supply subrack.
Figure 6-2 shows the power distribution between cabinets in the case of AC power supply.
The power distribution and power cable connection inside cabinets are not displayed in
the following figure.
