Facility and Installation Considerations
Potential Cost Impacts
Type of environment - Open layout, dense, mixed use
Buildings construction materials (sheetrock, metal, concrete, etc.)
RF design goals (required strength of signal)
What type of cable infrastructure is installed and/or will be required?
Is there dark fiber available?
Are there any special installation requirements?
Is conduit required?
How much conduit; Required in just the horizontals or everywhere? How much conduit; Required in just the horizontals or everywhere?
How large is the conduit; how many fibers; how long are the runs?
Are there any fire code requirements?
Building-code requirement or environmental need based on facility type
Working hours, access arrangements

Fusion HUB & RAU
Installation Considerations
Fusion components are intended to be installed in indoor locations only or in
protected housings.
Provide sufficient airflow and cooling to prevent heat build-up from
exceeding maximum ambient air temperature specification. Do not
compromise amount of airflow required for safe operation of equipment.
MH and EH can be mounted in 19 racks or wall mounted. MH and EH can be mounted in 19 racks or wall mounted.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the components.
The internal power supply has internal fuses that are not user replaceable.
Consider maximum power consumption shown on product labels when
provisioning AC power source and distribution.
Main Hub: 30 W typical
Expansion Hub (8 RAUs): 530 W max, 585 W max (tri-band RAU)
8
Fusion HUB AC /DC Power
Considerations
Fusion Hubs can be AC or DC powered
AC / DC powering can be mixed between MH and EH
MH and EH can be supported by most UPS
UPS must generate a true sine wave output UPS must generate a true sine wave output
UPS weight dictates floor / rack mounting
EH has the highest load, 530-585 Watts max.
Always check Fusion specs for typical / max power
MH and EH each have three dry contacts to monitor UPS

Single Mode or MultiMode Fiber
Use only SC/APC fiber connectors; Any other connector type will
result in degraded system performance and may damage the
equipment.
SC/APC connectors are typically Green; Blue connectors are
typically flat-polished connectors.
InterReach Fusion Fiber Cable
Requirements
typically flat-polished connectors.
The SC/APC connectors are required at any connector location
throughout the entire fiber run, even interim distribution panels.
Maximum Optical loss = 3 dB; measured at 1310 nm
Reflection in the fiber generates noise which can cause performance
issues
Use fusion splicing for all fiber splicing.

InterReach Fusion Fiber Cable
Requirements contd
Fiber distances:
SMF: up to 6km / 3.7miles
MMF: up to 500m / 1640 feet
When Connecting -
Make sure that fiber ports and connectors are clean.
Connect the Expansion Hubs uplink fiber optic cable to the Main Connect the Expansion Hubs uplink fiber optic cable to the Main
Hubs uplink fiber port and the downlink cable to the downlink
port
12
Fusion - Main Hub to RF Source Cabling
Measure RF power from BTS or BDA to ensure that power level does not
exceed PPC limits. Exceeding the limit could cause permanent damage to
the Main Hub.
Make sure that the signal level into the Main Hub, plus the system gain (0
15 dB) does not exceed the level listed in the power per carrier tables in
Section 6 of the user manual.
