1. PURPOSE

Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) are the in-building cabling, distribution and radiating elements required for enhanced In-Building Coverage (IBC) for wireless services.

This specification outlines design and acceptance into service requirements for a DAS.

2. SCOPE

This document applies to the design of IBC DAS to which a mobile telecommunications carrier proposed to connect its equipment. Where capacity issues require a DAS to be sectorised within a site, this document applies to each sector.

Clauses 5.3 and 5.5 should be used for mobile carrier design requirements for DASs built by other operators.

3. NOTES TO DESIGN & INSTALLATION CONTRACTORS

The RF design contractor shall develop all DAS Design Documentation in accordance with this document

A DAS shall only be accepted into operation when the installation contractor verifies to one of the licensed mobile carriers that the specifications defined in this document are met.

4. OHS&E ISSUES

Issues of RF radiation hazards are included in the design process.

This DAS Design Specification Document does not override any general or project specific OHS&E requirements. Where there seems to be a contradiction, more stringent requirement should be applicable until the issue is discussed and resolved among “Sharing Carriers”.

5. DESIGN SPECIFICATION

5.1. General DAS Description

The Distributed Antenna System (DAS) may be either passive:

typically composed of standard and radiating coaxial cables in various diameters (such as 3/8”, 1/2”, 7/8”, etc.), couplers and power splitters which are employed to branch the base station power to indoor type omni and/or panel antennas in remote locations;

or active:

typically composed of point-to-point optical fibre cables connecting one or more local fibre-optic interfaces located in the base station to one or more AC or DC power operated active heads in remote locations. The remote active heads in turn are each connected to one or more antennas, possibly via an additional amplifier.


In some cases the DAS can be hybrid, i.e. having both passive and active DAS segments.

In a DAS, RF signal is transmitted in both directions (uplink from mobile towards a base station, and downlink from a base station towards a mobile).

5.1.1. Passive DAS

A passive DAS is typically divided into two main components:

• the backbone feed system which forms the distribution to each floor or area; and

• the floor/area cabling.

The backbone is generally composed of cables, splitters and couplers. The preferred network topology is for groups of floors/areas (up to 4) to be fed from a multi-way splitter, which in turn is fed from a trunk cable from the BTS (or from a higher level splitter where there are more than 4 floors/areas).

The floor cabling can be a combination of any of radiating cable, coaxial cable, fibre-optic remote heads, antennae and terminations.

5.1.2. Active DAS

An active DAS typically has an interface unit which converts RF signals to optical signals. This interface unit is typically co-located with the BTS equipment. Optical fibre distribution is used to feed remote active heads which convert the optical signals back to RF signals which are then connected to individual antennas or to a small passive distribution system.

Active systems may be multi-band, e.g. a tri-band system could have 3G850, DCS1800 and 3G2100 amplifiers in a common remote head.

5.2. Operating Frequency Bands

The radio equipment connected to the Distributed Antenna System shall operate in the 800/900 MHz bands (825 – 960 MHz), 1800 MHz band (1710 – 1880 MHz) and the 2100 MHz band (1910 – 2170 MHz) in accordance with the relevant ITU, ETSI and 3GPP specifications.

ACMA is considering release of 2500 ~ 2690 MHz band for LTE deployment.

The design shall generally specify the use of components which operate over the frequency range 825 – 960 and 1710 - 2170 MHz. Antennas and radiating cable shall operate over the frequency ranges 825 – 960 and 1710 –2690 MHz.

5.2.1. Alternative frequency ranges

Where provision is required for non-cellular services, specify components that cover the required frequency range.

When a DAS is required to carry wireless LAN signals (Wi-Fi or IEEE 802.11 at 2.4 GHz), designers shall comply with DCRB029.


If coverage of Mobile TV or UHF private mobile radio systems is needed, specify components which cover the 380 – 2200 MHz range. Note that this requirement is incompatible with provision for wireless LAN at 2.4 GHz.

If coverage of Mobile TV (700 MHz Band) or UHF private mobile radio (400 MHz Band) systems is needed, specify components which cover the required additional bands which may extend to 380 – 820 MHz range.

5.3. DAS Capability

5.3.1. Passive DAS

Generally a passive DAS shall be capable of simultaneous operation of 3G850, GSM900/UMTS 900, GSM1800 and 3G2100 radio systems in accordance with Table 5-1. Where there are other “Sharing Carriers” with different requirements, these different requirements need to be considered among “Sharing Carriers” to establish an agreed DAS design specification prior to start of any DAS design work.

Technology No of RF channels

Maximum input power per channel in the system

GSM900/UMTS900 9 +40 dBm

GSM1800 9 +40 dBm

3G850 4 +40 dBm (+30 dBm CPICH power)

3G2100 8 +40 dBm (+30 dBm CPICH power)

Table 5-1 DAS capability requirements

5.3.2. Active DAS

The number of sharing Carriers and the number of channels per Carrier in each frequency band shall be established prior to the commencement of the design.

The design shall assume that all channels in every frequency band are in operation simultaneously and at maximum forward power.

5.4. Target Coverage Area

The Target Coverage Area shall be marked on copies of the site plan and floor plans and agreed prior to commencement of the design.

5.5. RF Levels Required

Clauses 5.5.1 to 5.5.4 prescribe criteria for mobile station receive signal levels required at different locations within buildings and outside the Target Coverage Area, to a confidence level of 95%.

These are minimum levels for In building Coverage DAS installations.

When survey measurements show that the received power levels from nearby macro network base


stations are greater than the minimum levels specified for GSM900/ UMTS 900 and DCS1800, and are greater than 6 dB below the minimum levels specified for 3G850 and 3G2100, obtain confirmation and approval of the required IBC levels from a licensed mobile carrier engineer prior to the commencement of the DAS design.

5.5.1. GSM900/UMTS 900 The design shall provide for GSM900/ UMTS900 at the following levels (received BCCH power levels from a +40 dBm transmitter, measured with a unity gain omni antenna and achieve 95% of the coverage objectives):

(a) > -65 dBm within 2 m of the perimeter walls and windows inside the premises;

(b) > -70 dBm in the building core;

(c) > -75 dBm in the basement car parks;

(d) < -90 dBm at ground level outside the building.

5.5.2. 3G850 The design shall provide for 3G850 at the following levels (received CPICH power levels from a +40 dBm transmitter (+30 dBm CPICH power), measured with a unity gain omni antenna and achieve 95% of the coverage objectives):

):





(e) Where ever possible a margin of at least 6dB above the existing macro cell coverage should be used as a design target for all cases listed above.

5.5.3. DCS1800 The design shall provide for DCS1800 at the following levels (received BCCH power levels from a +40 dBm transmitter, measured with a unity gain omni antenna and achieve 95% of the coverage objectives):

):





5.5.4. 3G2100 The design shall provide for 3G2100 at the following levels (received CPICH power levels from a +40 dBm transmitter (+30 dBm CPICH power), measured with a unity gain omni antenna and achieve 95% of the coverage objectives):

:






(e) Where ever possible a margin of at least 6dB above the existing macro cell coverage should be used as a design target for all cases listed above.

5.6. Handover Zone

RF levels shall be sufficient to facilitate both-way handovers with the external network at locations agreed on the target Coverage Area.

Handovers to/from external fast moving mobiles need to be avoided (except in tunnels). The design should ensure that RF levels specified in clause 6.5 at ground level outside the building are met.

5.7. DAS Configuration

The DAS shall be passive wherever possible utilising the RF power of the base stations to the fullest possible extent. Active DAS sections shall be included only if there are installation constraints, or available RF power is not sufficient.

Access to the DAS ports shall be from a communications room with sufficient accommodation for the base station and network transmission equipment.

The design shall satisfy the installation requirements specified in Attachment A.

The distribution for each floor in a multi-storey building shall commence in a common communications riser shaft.

5.7.1. Passive DAS Interconnect PortsProvide four duplex ports to the DAS for multi-Carrier sharing. Each port shall be capable of accepting up to 80 W composite transmit power, with a maximum power of 10 W per individual channel (e.g. 8 x 10 W into each of the 4 inputs, at Measurement point 1 in Figure 5-1).


5.7.2. Active DAS Interconnect PortsProvide a duplex port for each sharing Carrier for each frequency band which that Carrier has notified as a requirement.

5.8. Radiated Power Levels

The composite input power to any antenna in a DAS shall not exceed +17 dBm per Sharing Carrier without approval.

In no case shall the combined power level from all transmitters cause the power density to exceed the ARPANSA General Public power flux density (“Maximum exposure levels to radio frequency fields – 3 kHz to 300 GHz”, Radiation Protection Series No. 3, Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency.) within 100 mm of any antenna.

To prevent interference to other existing equipment, the electric field strength shall not exceed 3 V/m, measured at a location nearest to the equipment under consideration.

5.8.1. Passive DASAssume a configuration of 4 operators each feeding 80 W composite power at 900 MHz into the multi-network combiner when assessing radiated power levels for this clause.

If any Carrier is licensed for UMTS only, the power into each antenna may be calculated assuming that the port occupied by the UMTS-only Carrier is fed with 80 W at 2100 MHz.

When 3G2100 channels are coupled to the DAS at an input other than the multi-network combiner (e.g. at a cross-band coupler in the riser of a high-rise DAS), assume a maximum of 8 x 10 W channels (at 2100 MHz) inserted at that input when assessing radiated power levels.


5.8.2. Active DASAssume that all active devices connected to an antenna are operating at their maximum rated composite output power per frequency band.

5.9. Electromagnetic Immunity

Designers shall ensure that the field strength levels in Table 5-2 are not exceeded in the areas or at the equipment locations specified.

Table 5-2 EMI Limits

As a guide, Table 5-3 indicates the distances from an antenna that the 1, 3 and 9 V/m electric field strength limits are reached (to within 0.1 m). Note that, for a given EIRP, the electric field strength at a given distance is independent of frequency and varies linearly with distance.

5.10. Base Station Power Levels

The design of a passive DAS shall assume a maximum of 10 W (+40 dBm) per channel for 3G850, GSM900, GSM1800 and UMTS2100 in the downlink direction at the DAS port (multi-network combiner input) for the power budget, maximum signal level and EMI calculations.

Ensure that the power levels at MNC input ports do not exceed the maximum of +40 dBm per channel by inserting appropriate attenuators if needed.

5.11. Maximum Signal Received by MS/UE

The maximum signal levels received by a MS or UE situated as close as possible to any antenna while being 1.5 m above floor level shall be in accordance with the table below (GSM05.05 Clause 6.1 for GSM900 & DCS1800, 3GPP TS25.101 Clause 7.4 for 3G2100 and 3G850).

Technology Maximum received power

GSM900 -15 dBm/200 kHz

DCS1800 -23 dBm/200 kHz

3G850 -25 dBm/3.84 MHz

3G2100 -25 dBm/3.84 MHz

Table 5-4 Maximum received levels at MS/UE

Note that for a passive DAS the minimum path loss is determined by the maximum allowable levels at the BTS receiver inputs, see 6.12.

5.12. Minimum Allowable Path Loss

5.12.1. Passive DASTo avoid overloading of BTS receivers by uncontrolled MS/UE operating on adjacent channels (GSM05.05 Clause 5.1 for GSM900 & DCS1800, 3GPP TS25.104 Clauses 7.3.2 & 7.4.1 for 3G2100 and 3G850), or by controlled MS/UE operating on a wanted channel at minimum transmit power, the minimum path loss from the input to the multi-network combiner to a MS/UE situated as close as possible to any antenna while being 1.5 m above floor level shall be in accordance with the table below.

Technology MS/UE Tx Power

Table 5-5 Minimum allowable path loss

5.12.2. Active DASEnsure that the Maximum BTS received power values of Table 5-5 are complied with.

Ensure that the maximum uplink input signal levels at the remote units do not exceed the manufacturer’s ratings.

5.13. Propagation Model

This document does not specify a propagation model as it is up to the DAS design vendor to ensure that sufficient margins are provided, so that the minimum signal levels specified in this document are delivered by the designed system once it is in operation.

5.14. Measured performance of installed DAS

In addition to the coverage, power and loss specifications above, a passive DAS shall meet the following performance requirements.

5.14.1. Return lossReturn loss measured at any input port of the multi-network combiner (or any other device serving a similar function) be greater than 20 dB over the operating frequency bands.

The return loss of any feeder connected to the output ports of the multi-network combiner shall be greater than 16 dB over the operating frequency bands.

5.14.2. Passive intermodulationThe passive intermodulation performance of each passive DAS segment connecting to a multi-network combiner (Measurement point 2 in Figure 5-1) shall be -140 dBc @ 2 x 43 dBm minimum.

5.15. Cable and Component Labelling

Specify labelling for installed cable and components as follows:


The horizontal runs of cable shall be labelled with a sticker at intervals of approximately 6 metres. For vertical runs of cable, such as in risers, stickers shall be placed at approximately 1.8 m above floor level on every floor.

These stickers shall also be attached on or close to each component. Stickers must not be placed on the radiating element of the antenna or on the component identification plate. However stickers should be placed on radiating cable.

All feeders should be identified at both feeder opening points with a label containing a concise identification code uniquely identifying each cable and cross referenced to the system drawing. Identification labels shall be provided by the contractor.

5.16. Preferred Material List

Refer to Attachment “C”. It is recommended that any third party developer seek confirmation as to the currency of this Preferred Materials List from the MCF after twelve (12) months from the date of issue of this document

5.17. Other Equipment Specifications

5.17.1. Characteristic impedanceRF circuit impedance of the system shall be 50-ohm unbalanced.

5.17.2. VSWRVSWR measured at any base station input port shall not exceed 1.22:1 (corresponding to 16 dB return loss) over the operating frequency bands.

5.17.3. IntermodulationThe passive intermodulation performance requirement for all components in the DAS beyond the multi-network combiner shall be -140 dBc (with +43 dBm test signals) or better.

The minimum performance specification for any load (termination) connected to an unused output port of a multi-network combiner shall be -140 dBc. The preferred configuration is for all output ports to be connected to individual DAS segments. If this is not possible, specify low-IM cable loads.

Specify that unused input ports of the multi-network combiner be terminated with 50 ohm/5 W terminations. The maximum third-order intermodulation power produced by the termination shall be -110 dBm when tested with 2 x +30 dBm CW test signals in the 900 MHz band.

5.17.4. Coaxial connector typesThe multi-network combiner (Rojone ROJ-073), triband coupler (Filtronic CY076) and crossband coupler (Rojone AMA-4255) are equipped with 7-16 DIN connectors. All cables connecting to these devices shall use 7-16 DIN male connectors. Specify that approved torque wrenches be used to tighten these connectors during construction and commissioning. All patch cables shall be fitted with the required connector type. Inter-series adaptors shall not be used.

Beyond the multi-network combiner end of the first runs of backbone feeder cables, type-N connectors may be used.

As a rule of thumb:


Use 7/16 DIN Connectors for all high power connections (>= 1 watt), and thick cables (>= 1” in diameter).Use N-Type Connectors for all low power connections (< 1 watt), and medium cables (<= 7/8” in diameter).

5.17.5. Patch cablesDo not use cables with any form of foil screening (eg Times Microwave LMR400) in the DAS. Cables with foil screening have been found to have poor intermodulation performance regardless of the quality of the connector terminations.

Existing DASs may contain LMR400 jumper cables. These cables should only be used in sections of the DAS where the power is below +20 dBm/channel. They should also be fitted with a label warning that they should not be used at power levels greater than +20 dBm/channel.

Many older DASs will contain jumper cables which are not labelled and do not meet the intermodulation requirements of this Specification.

Where an existing DAS is being upgraded or extended, designers shall check for the presence of sub-standard jumper cables and specify that they be replaced in those sections where the power levels are > +20 dBm/channel, and fitted with a label elsewhere.

5.17.5.1. Corrugated cableNote that only patch cables with solid outer are to be used for interconnections between the BTS end of the main feeders and the BTS antenna (Tx/Rx) ports.

Factory assembled patch cables shall be specified with the following minimum performance parameters:

VSWR: 1:1.10 minimum over the frequency range 820 – 2690 MHz

Intermodulation performance: better than -150 dBc, static and dynamic measurements between 820 and 2690 MHz.

Connectors: DIN 7-16 or type-N, as required. Patch cable connectors shall mate with equipment connectors and fixed cables without requiring joiners or inter-series adaptors.

5.17.5.2. Braided cable5

Braided cable (RG214, etc.) shall not be used in passive distributed antenna systems.

Some active distributed antenna systems specify use of braided cables (RG59, RG6, RG11, etc.), or CAT-5/CAT-6 wiring. They can be deployed providing they meet the following minimum performance parameters:

VSWR: 1:1.15 minimum over the frequency range 820 – 2690 MHz

Intermodulation performance: better than -150 dBc @ 2 x 43 dBm, static and dynamic measurements between 820 and 2690 MHz.

Connectors: Type-N, or as required. These connectors shall mate with equipment connectors and other corrugated cable connectors without requiring joiners or inter-series adaptors.

8. ATTACHMENT-A: DAS INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Note that under no circumstances the following instructions to override Building Codes of Australia. Where there is any conflict with the building codes, installation contractor must follow Building Codes of Australia.

8.1. Passive Backbone

All backbone feeder cables shall run to the equipment room and be terminated with a DIN716 female connector. Wherever possible these cables shall be installed on the existing communication cable trays between the equipment room and the communications riser. It shall be the design contractor’s responsibility to ensure space is available. In the case of space not being available, additional cable trays shall be specified.

Wherever possible, backbone feeder cables shall be installed on the existing cable ladder in the communications riser. It shall be design contractor’s responsibility to ensure space is available. In the case of space not being available additional cable ladder shall be specified.

All couplers and splitters specified in the backbone shall be mounted in an accessible location inside the communications riser. All ports of these devices shall be connected through flexible jumper cables to 1/2” or thicker feeder cables.

Figure 10-1 shows the layout of the backbone cable in a typical installation. The coupler shall be located in a position that is uncluttered and with a view to future maintenance. Both the coupler and cable should be secured to the riser wall or tray. Most couplers have holes to allow them to be screwed to the wall but cable ties are acceptable. Jumper cables may be omitted from one port if there is sufficient space to provide strain relief by putting a bend in a backbone cable.

Figure 10-1 Distribution from backbone cable


All cabling in the riser shall be fixed neatly along the tray or to the wall with appropriate ties.

Fire-proof sealing shall be applied at all penetrations where a cable crosses boundary from one fire control region to another, such as from a riser into a floor area. Watertight gland shall be employed where necessary.

8.2. Active Backbone

Clause 10.1 is applicable, except fibre optic cables rather than RF feeder cables are used. Fibre optic connectors shall be FC/APC type.

8.3. Floor Cabling

Cables run in the roof space may be strapped to the ceiling grid hangers in accordance with Figure 10-2, however this is not permitted by the Building Code of Australia if the hangers are only designed to support the weight of the suspended ceiling and any associated light fittings. Make sure that an approval explicitly authorising connection to ceiling grid hangers was obtained prior to connecting any cable to these hangers.

8.3.1. Feeder Cable Mounting (non radiating cable)The cable should be neatly fixed, taking the shortest possible path, to the ceiling grid hangers by cable ties, allowing the maximum possible clearance above the ceiling tiles so as not to inhibit the lifting of ceiling tiles for maintenance purposes. Cable ties should be placed at intervals of not more than 2 metres.

Where connection to ceiling grid hangers are not permitted, cables has to be attached under concrete slab at intervals of not more than 2 metres.

Figure 10-2 Floor cable mounting


8.3.2. Radiating Cable MountingThe cable should be neatly fixed to the ceiling grid hangers by cable ties, establishing a nominal cable route of 6 m distance from the perimeter windows while taking the shortest possible path. The cable should be run close to the ceiling tiles but above the lights and with enough clearance to allow the tiles to be removed without hindrance. Cable ties should be placed at intervals of not more than 2 metres.

Where connection to ceiling grid hangers are not permitted, radiating cables has to be attached to messenger wires or directly under concrete slab at intervals of not more than 2 metres, in accordance with its manufacturer’s instructions.

As with any radiating component, radiating cable should not be run near metal objects. It is not a problem to run the cable past metal objects or to cable tie it to metal objects as long as the cable and object traverse each other and do not run together longitudinally. If the cable needs to be run along a metal object such as an air-conditioning duct it should be kept at least 100 mm off the object. Similarly the cable should be installed using self-locking hangers with standoff accessory if it is required to be installed on a concrete or metal surface. Various other methods are also possible, such as using messenger cables. The Contractor shall ensure that cable manufacturers’ installation requirements are met in the Design Documentation to obtain the specified cable performance. In particular, ensure that any instructions regarding the cable directivity are passed on to the installation contractor (e.g. to align the cable in accordance with a mark on the cable sheath).

Figure 10-3 Mounting radiating cable in ceiling space The radiating cable (at the riser end) will be terminated with a type-N female connector.

This arrangement is valid for all floors with non-metallic ceiling tiles. If the ceiling tiles are metallic, then no radiating cable should be installed in the ceiling space, and antennas must be installed in accordance with clause 10.3.5

8.3.3. Mounting of Omni AntennasThe space around the antenna (including the ceiling space) should be as clear of metal objects as possible to minimise the generation of intermodulation products and prevent distortion of the radiation pattern. Ideally, there should be no metal objects within 600 mm of the antenna. In


practice, locate centrally in or on a ceiling tile to maximise the spacing from the supporting grid and place as far as possible from ductwork, cable trays, etc.

Specify installation of omnidirectional antennas on the underside of the ceiling wherever possible.

Where it is not possible to install antennas on the underside of the ceiling (eg due to a restriction imposed by building owner or architect), install the antenna within the ceiling space.

Specify minimum spacings in accordance with Figure 10-4.

Figure 10-4 Minimum clearance for omnidirectional antennas

The design contractor shall ensure that any propagation losses through the ceiling tiles are measured and taken into account during the design process.

8.3.4. Mounting of Panel AntennasThe panel antenna is a directional antenna. It shall be mounted away from metal surfaces to minimise the generation of intermodulation products and prevent distortion of the radiation pattern. There shall be no metal objects within 1.2 m of the front of the antenna.

Specify installation of panel antennas on a wall or on the underside of the ceiling wherever possible.

The antenna should be mounted at least 170 mm above the plasterboard if installed in the ceiling space.

8.3.5. Other ArrangementsThe methods described above are suitable for ceilings with acoustic ceiling tiles. However where metal tiles are used, the use of radiating coaxial cables is not possible. In this case antennas shall be installed below the ceiling tiles. See Figure 10-5 for details. Ensure that the metal groundplane of the antenna is insulated from the metal ceiling tiles, by using an insulating disc or insulated standoffs or, in some cases, the radome of the antenna may provide an effective stand-off if it wraps sufficiently over the edge of the groundplane.

Antennas which have a non-metallic securing nut are preferred in this situation. When screws are required to secure the antenna to the ceiling, use non-metallic screws, nuts and washers (nylon or


similar).

9. ATTACHMENT-B: TEST RESULTS – PASSIVE DAS

9.1. RF Sweeps

All RF sweeps are to be documented as per the diagram below with the cable number and also supplied in electronic format to the lead carrier for validation and acceptance.

All cables are to be swept across the 820 MHz to 960 MHz and 1710 to 2170 MHz bands.

R/4/2

9.2. Insertion Loss

The backbone distribution system must be checked for its insertion loss. A signal must be fed in at the base station end and the level out must be measured at the final splitting or coupling point to each floor. Where a splitter feeds more than 1 floor or there is more than 1 output from the same splitter to a floor only one output needs to be tested. The difference between the input level and the output level must be recorded as the insertion loss.

All measurements for insertion loss must be tabulated as per the example below and supplied in electronic format to the lead carrier for validation and acceptance:

Test Point Frequency Input Point Input Power Output Power Insertion Loss

Splitter S/3/1 860 MHz BC/B2/1 +20 dBm -3 dBm 23 dB


Splitter S/11/1 860 MHz BC/B2/1 +20 dBm -7 dBm 27 dB

9.3. Passive Intermodulation Testing

Passive intermodulation testing shall be carried out to determine the PIM performance of the installed DAS. The test configuration shall be in accordance with Set-up 1 of IEC 62037, using two +43 dBm test signals.

Testing in one frequency band is acceptable (e.g. 900 MHz only).

Test results shall be provided for reflected measurements at the following points:

• Each input of the multi-network combiner

• Each segment connected to multi-network combiner outputs (measured at the point which connects to the multi-network combiner, ie including cable tails).

9.3.1. Dynamic testing Where specifications call for dynamic testing (of cable assemblies), the cable under test shall be bent through 90 degrees at its minimum bending radius, straightened, bent through 90 degrees and straightened. The worst PIM performance observed during this sequence shall be recorded.


10. ATTACHMENT-C: PREFERRED MATERIALS LIST

Enersus MA1000 Series MA 1000 Converged In-building Coverage System

The use of high quality RF connectors with gold or silver plating, or made of sucoplate, brass, or beryllium copper is essential. RF connectors containing steel, nickel, or aluminium shall not be used.

Cables shall meet the requirements of relevant building codes, fire authorities and building owners/managers in respect of fire retardant and smoke emission properties. In general, there is no specific requirement for general office areas, but some buildings may require particular cable specifications.

If an existing DAS installation has fire retardant and low smoke emission cables, specify cables with equivalent properties for any upgrade or extension of that DAS.

Specify cables with solid outer conductors (SCF38 or equivalent as a minimum requirement) between BTS and multi-network combiner or crossband coupler, and between multi-network combiner and main feeders.
