Smart Bias Tee

The Smart Bias Tee combines the performance of a standard Bias Tee (e.g. type 793 304) with the function of an additional modem (AISG standard) in order to provide DC voltage as well as remote control signals via an RF feeder cable to a TMA or RCU. The Smart Bias Tee provides low RF signal insertion loss from port 1 to port 2 and vice versa. The measures taken to protect against static discharge and lightning ensure a high level of reliability and operational safety. 782 10253, 782 10453: 12 V version for use near the BTS, in order to feed-in DC voltage and RCU control signals into a feeder cable 782 10254, 782 10454: 12 V version for use near the antenna, in order to control an RCU (only required if no TMA is in use) 782 10255, 782 10455: 24 V version for use near the BTS, in order to feed-in DC voltage and RCU control signals into a feeder cable 782 10256, 782 10456: 24 V version for use near the antenna, in order to control an RCU (only required if no TMA is in use) General Specifications:

Smart Bias Tee

Please note: The Smart Bias Tees are designed to operate under the environmental conditions as described in ETS 300 019-1-4 class 4.1 E and have passed environmental tests as recommended in ETS 300 019-2-4. The installation team must be properly qualified and also be familiar with the relevant national safety regulations. The coupling torque at 7-16 connectors is 18.522 ft-lbf! Hold the smart bias tee housing securely while tightening the 7-16 locking nut. The tightning torque for fixing the AISG connector must be 0.40.7 ft-lbf (hand-tightened).
