Scenario 1: Installing a Remote Unit on a Rapid Duct
Installing a Remote Unit on a Rapid OBO45 Duct
Context
This installation method is applicable to the S5731-L4P2HW-RUA and S5731S-L4P2HW-RUA.
Prepare the following before the installation:
- The rapid OBO45 duct (OBO Bettermann GK53100LGR/6113002) has been secured.
- The remote unit to be installed has been placed near the rapid duct for convenient movement.
- In this scenario, only hybrid cables can be used for power supply, and dedicated hybrid optical-electrical optical modules are required. Hybrid cables need to be prepared and routed onsite. For details about how to prepare hybrid cables, see Assembling Second-Generation Hybrid Cable.
The S5731-L4P2HW-RUA and S5731S-L4P2HW-RUA adopt natural heat dissipation. Heat is dissipated mainly through the iron shell at the rear of the panel. At room temperature, some parts of the iron shell are hot. Do not touch these parts when operating the device.
Tools and Accessories
- ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves
- Phillips screwdriver
- Hacksaw
- Rapid OBO45 duct (prepared by the customer)
Procedure
- Wear an ESD wrist strap. Ensure that one end of the ESD wrist strap is grounded and the other end is in close contact with your wrist.
- Based on the width of the decorative panel, cut the cover plates on both sides of the rapid duct to reserve sufficient space for remote unit installation and cable routing.Figure 2-1 Cutting the cover plate
- Route the hybrid cables into the rapid duct.Figure 2-2 Routing cables
- Connect one end of the ground cable to the ground screw on the right side of the remote unit.Figure 2-3 Connecting the ground cable
- Insert an optical module into an optical port on the remote unit and connect the hybrid cable to the optical module.Figure 2-4 Connecting cables
- Install the remote unit into the rapid duct slot.Figure 2-5 Installing a remote unit on a rapid duct
- Connect the other end of the ground cable to the ground point or ground bar.
- Install the decorative panel and seal the extra space with a cover plate.Figure 2-6 Installing the decorative panel
If multiple remote units are installed, ensure that the distance between every two remote units be at least 1.2 m.
Installing a Remote Unit on a Rapid OBO80 Duct
Context
This installation method is applicable to the S5731-L4P2HW-RUA and S5731S-L4P2HW-RUA.
Prepare the following before the installation:
- The rapid OBO80 duct has been secured. The following models of rapid OBO80 ducts are supported:
- OBO Bettermann GK-70110RW/6274300
- OBO Bettermann GK-70110CW/6274301
- OBO Bettermann GK-70110LGR/6274302
- OBO Bettermann GA-S70110RW/6279200
- OBO Bettermann GA-S70110EL/6279303
- The remote unit to be installed has been placed near the rapid duct for convenient movement.
- In this scenario, only hybrid cables can be used for power supply, and dedicated hybrid optical-electrical optical modules are required. Hybrid cables need to be prepared and routed onsite. For details about how to prepare hybrid cables, see Assembling Second-Generation Hybrid Cable.
- If optical fibers need to be used, industrial optical modules are required.
The S5731-L4P2HW-RUA and S5731S-L4P2HW-RUA adopt natural heat dissipation. Heat is dissipated mainly through the iron shell at the rear of the panel. At room temperature, some parts of the iron shell are hot. Do not touch these parts when operating the device.
Tools and Accessories
- ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves
- Phillips screwdriver
- Hacksaw
- Installation kit for the rapid OBO80 duct
- Rapid OBO80 duct (prepared by the customer)
Procedure
- Wear an ESD wrist strap. Ensure that one end of the ESD wrist strap is grounded and the other end is in close contact with your wrist.
- Based on the width of the decorative panel, cut the cover plates on both sides of the rapid duct to reserve sufficient space for remote unit installation and cable routing.Figure 2-7 Cutting the cover plate
- Route cables, such as optical fibers, hybrid cables, and power cables with a power adapter connected, into the rapid duct. The cables may vary with site requirements.Figure 2-8 Routing cables
- Install the remote unit into a mechanical part.Figure 2-9 Installing a remote unit into a mechanical part
- Insert an optical module into an optical port on the remote unit, and connect an optical fiber or a hybrid cable to the optical module. (Here, a hybrid cable is used as an example.)
Power adapters are required when optical fibers are used, and are not required when hybrid cables are used.
Figure 2-10 Connecting cables - Connect one end of the ground cable to the ground screw on the right side of the remote unit.
- Install the mechanical part into the duct slot and connect the other end of the ground cable to the ground point or ground bar.Figure 2-11 Installing a mechanical part into the duct slot
- Install the decorative panel and seal the extra space with a cover plate.Figure 2-12 Installing the decorative panel
If multiple remote units are installed, ensure that the distance between every two remote units be at least 1 m.
