1 Introduction
This document describes the following RBS cabling:
● RBS-internal Radio Frequency (RF) cabling between different Double Radio Units (DRU)
● RBS-internal RF cabling between DRUs and Receiver (RX) splitters
● Power bias cables between Tower-Mounted Amplifier Control Modules (TMA-CM) and DRUs
● Antenna feeder cables between DRUs and antennas
● Antenna feeder cables between DRUs and TMAs
● Antenna feeder cables between TMAs and antennas
For non-RF cable connections, see document Non-RF Connections.
Instructions for installing RF connections are given in document Hardware Maintenance Instructions.
1.1 Accessing Customer Documentation
This document is supplied with RBSs from Ericsson Node Production Centres. It is also included in the
RBS Customer Product Information (CPI).
To gain access to the latest CPI version of this document, contact the key account manager at your
local Ericsson company.
1.2 Revision Information
Other than editorial changes, this document has been revised as follows:
● Added information on DRU-02 in section Supported Radio Configurations
2 Unused Connectors
All unused RF ports on DRUs and RX splitters must be protected with plastic sleeves.
Note:
Unused RX splitter RF ports must not be terminated in any other way. Only plastic sleeves should be
used on these ports.
3 Supported Radio Configurations
The section describes the internal RF connections of the RBS cabinet and the feeder connections between
DRUs and antennas. All basic configurations are shown using a number of examples of Site Cell
Configurations (SCC). Basic configurations can be multiplied or combined to form other SCCs than those
included in this document. For more information about supported SCCs, see document RBS Radio Configurations.
3.1 Units Used in Described Configurations

The figure below shows the DRU variants DRU-01 and DRU-02, Tower-Mounted Amplifier Control Module
(TMA CM) variant TMA-CM-03, and RX splitter variant RX-Splitter-03 used in the connection diagrams. TMAs
and antennas are not shown as they differ in appearance from type to type.
Note:
For the DRU variant DRU-02 the transmitter combining mode is selected by changing the position of a
switch card in a card holder slot on the rear of the DRU. For more information, see document DRU Unit
Description.
Figure 1 DRU-01, DRU-02, TMA-CM-03, and RX-Splitter-03
The figure below shows the connector markings of RBS units used in the connection diagrams.

Figure 2 Connector Markings
The dummy DRU has no connectors for RF or antenna connections. The antennas have two connectors that
are interchangeable. TMAs have connector markings indicating which connector is used for RBS connection
and which is used for antenna connection.
Note:
Any symbols for TMAs included in the connection diagrams represent the TMA function for one feeder
branch. Many sites use double TMA units for two antenna branches.
