CommScope Era Medium Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 3 Era System Overview ERA SYSTEM OVERVIEW CommScope Era coordinates wireless capacity throughout the entire coverage area via a single centralized head-end location or from an operators existing C-RAN hub. Era systems bring together licensed wireless and power, plus Gigabit Ethernet for WiFi into one wireless system that can scale to building size and is technology and spectrum agnostic and adaptive. An Era system comprises the components listed below. Central Area Node (CAN)provides server-level control and primary signal distribution. It combines the signals from multiple operators and distributes those signals within a venue or multiple venues. There are two configuration modes available for the CAN: Classic and Switching. The Classic CAN configuration is appropriate for when all the BTS and Baseband sources are located in a centralized space in the same venue as the Classic CAN. You install RF Donor (RFD) Cards and CPRI Digital Donor (CDD) Cards in a Classic CAN, which digitizes the analog BTS signals from the RFD Cards and combines those with the BBU CPRI digital signals from the CDD Cards, and then distributes the RF signals to the TENs. The TENs then provide the RF signals to the Access Points (APs). The Classic CAN also supports APs that are directly connected to CAT or OPT Cards installed in the Classic CAN chassis. Wide-area Integration Nodes (WINs) are not supported by a Classic CAN. Users have full and flexible control of all signal routing via the Era GUI. The Switching CAN configuration is appropriate for when WINs are required to allow operators to bring in baseband signals from multiple remote locations to fully leverage the C-RAN architecture in their hubs. All operator Baseband signals (analog BTS and BBU CPRI) are supplied to the Switching CAN by the WINs, so no RFD or CDD Cards can be installed in the Switching CAN. The Switching CAN then combines the signals from all WINs and distributes those signals to the TENs, and the TENs provide the signals to the APs. APs are not directly connected to a Switching CAN. Users have full and flexible control of all signal routing via the Era GUI. This guide uses CAN to collectively refer to Central Area Nodes. When information pertains to a specific CAN mode, Classic CAN and Switching CAN will be used. Wide-Area Integration Node (WIN)interfaces between a Switching CAN and RF sources, which makes C-RAN possible in Era by allowing operators to bring in signals from multiple remote locations kilometers away. You install RFD and CDD Cards in the WIN, which takes the analog BTS signals from the RFD Cards and combines those with the BBU CPRI digital signals from the CDD Cards, and distributes the RF sources to a Switching CAN. Transport Expansion Node (TEN)is an expansion node connected to the CAN via fiber and can be located throughout the venue coverage area. A single TEN can support, dependent on the AP type and powering method, 12 to 32 Access Points (APs), which greatly reduces the number of fiber runs between the head-end and each AP. Access Point (AP)connects a Classic CAN or TEN to antennas or other wireless devices. On the downlink, an AP converts data arriving at the AP to analog signals and sends them to an antenna. On the uplink, received signals are digitized and serialized into data streams which are sent back to the Classic CAN or TEN. APs provide pass-through support for WiFi, IP cameras, or other devices over a common cable. An AP can be any of the Universal Access Points or Carrier Access Points. This guide uses Access Point (AP) to collectively refer to all versions of the Universal Access Point (UAP) and the Carrier Access Point (CAP). Fiber APs collectively refers to the CAP H, CAP M, and the Fiber CAP L. When information pertains to a specific AP type, that AP will be identified. CommScope Era Medium Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 4 M0201AJE_uc February 2020 CommScope, Inc. CAP M OVERVIEW This installation guide describes the Medium Power Carrier Access Point (CAP M), which interfaces via an optical link with a Classic CAN, or with a TEN. This allows the CAP M to provide data over Single-Mode Fiber

(SMF), or Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF). Power for CAP Ms is provided over embedded AC/DC (AC version) or remotely through hybrid fiber (DC version). On the downlink, the CAP M converts data arriving at the CAP M to analog signals and sends them to the Antenna port. On the uplink, received signals are digitized and serialized into data streams, which are sent back to the Classic CAN or TEN. Each CAP M can provide RF coverage for up to four specific frequency bands. Figure 1 shows how a CAP M can be deployed in an Era system.

Single Mounting Bracket The Single Mounting Bracket (CommScope PN 7821955-xx) provides the mounting brackets required to mount an CAP M to a wall or other vertical, flat surface. See "Mount a CAP M Using a Single Mounting Bracket on page 29. CommScope Era Medium Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 8 M0201AJE_uc February 2020 CommScope, Inc. CAP M Overview Dual Mounting Bracket The Dual Mounting Bracket (CommScope PN 7821954-xx) provides the mounting brackets required to mount two CAP Ms back-to-back in a single bracket, which is then mounted to a wall or other vertical, flat surface. See "Mount Two CAP Ms Using a Dual Mounting Bracket on page 35. Pole Mounting Kit for Up to 18" Poles The CAP M Pole Mounting Kit for Up to 18" Poles (CommScope PN 7692096-XX) is used to mount a CAP M to a pole with a circumference of 4" to 18" (10.2 cm to 45.8 cm). See "Mount the CAP M to a 4" to 18" Pole on page 43. Hybrid Fiber Splice Box The Hybrid Fiber Splice Box (CommScope PN 7693816-xx) separates the power from the fiber signals on a hybrid fiber feed from the Classic CAN or TEN. It feeds power to the CAP M through a composite cable that includes both fiber and copper power wires. Fiber and copper terminate at the Splice Box, which allows you to separate the DC wires and fiber at the remote end. For CAP Ms, you will typically use composite cable to transport signal and power, and then use the Hybrid Fiber Splice Box to terminate the fiber at the CAP M. See

"Wire an Optional Hybrid Fiber Splice Box on page 23. OCTIS Kits All CAP Ms include one OCTIS1 Kit that plugs into the CAP M Optical Port 1 to provide the primary interface to the TEN or Classic CAN. You can order an additional OCTIS Kit, which would allow you to cascade two CAP Ms via Optical Port 2, or to attach an auxiliary Ethernet device via the AUX Port.

* The LINEAR ANTENNA GAIN and CROSS-POLARIZED ANTENNA GAIN including feeder loss must be selected so that the output power does not exceed 5 W ERP per channel according to FCC 90.219 (d)(3)(i). According to KDB 662911 "D01 Multiple Transmitter Output v02r01":

Pout = max RF output power settable each port = 29 dBm NANT = number of outputs = 2 10 log(NANT) dB = RF output summed (in MIMO configuration) = 3 dB GA = antenna gain = 4 dBi (not cross-polarized) GD = directional gain (both transmit signals are correlated) = GA + 10 log(NANT) dBi (= GA when transmit signals are completely uncorrelated) = 7 dBi GL = insertion loss (TX-to-antenna attenuation) = 1.5 dB (note that this value is highly conservative, because is higher in real installations) Formula: Pout + 10 log(NANT) dB + GD - GL < 5 WERP (39.14 dBm eirp) 29dBm + 3 dB + 7dbi - 1.5dB = 37.5 dBm eirp Cross-polarized antennas with NANT = 2: in the case of a transmitter with only two outputs driving a pair of antennas that are cross-polarized, directional gain is the gain of an individual antenna. If the two antennas have different gains, the larger gain applies. 6 Notice: The unit complies with Overvoltage Category II.

INSTALLING CAP MS The following sections guide you through the installation of a CAP M. Pay attention to all cautions and follow the steps in the order presented. Installing CAP Ms CAP M APs require the use of RFD Card PN 7633229-01 or 7633229-02 or higher. CAP M Installation and Cascade Rules When cascading a Secondary CAP M or an external Ethernet device such as WiFi or an IP camera, you must observe the following rules. In a cascade, the CAP M connected directly to the Classic CAN or TEN is the Primary CAP M, and the CAP M that connects to the Primary CAP M is the Secondary CAP M. You connect CAP Ms to an OPT Card in the Classic CAN or TEN. Each OPT Card has four 10 Gbps ports (labeled 1 - 4) for fiber connections. You can connect up to 4 CAP Ms per OPT Card for a total of 16 Primary CAP Ms, per Classic CAN or TEN. You can connect one Secondary CAP M to each Primary CAP M for a total of eight CAP Ms per OPT Card, which 32 total CAP Ms per Classic CAN or TEN. The total 320 MHz RF bandwidth is shared between the two cascaded units, but can be shared unevenly;

that is, with more bandwidth going to either the Primary or Secondary CAP Meither CAP M can transmit all the 320 MHz RF bandwidth or any subset of it. The Primary and Secondary CAP Ms power up as soon as power is applied to them. In a cascade, the GUI discovers and readies the Primary CAP M for RF first, and then the Secondary CAP M will be discovered and readied for RF. For information on the Power LED behavior, see "Power the CAP M on page 60. SMF or MMF connects the CAP M via its Optical Port 1 to the OPT Card. When cascading a Secondary CAP M or an external Ethernet device such as WiFi or an IP camera, you must observe the following rules. To cascade two CAP Ms, use a fiber-optic cable. SMF or MMF connects the Secondary CAP M via its Optical Port 1 to the Primary CAP M via its Optical Port 2. You can connect the following to the Primary CAP M a Secondary CAP M an Ethernet device both a Secondary CAP M and an Ethernet device. To add a Secondary AP, you must add an Optical OCTIS kit to the Primary CAP M, see "OCTIS Kits on To add an Ethernet device, you must add an RJ45 OCTIS kit to the Primary CAP M, see "OCTIS Kits on page 9. page 9. M0201AJE_uc February 2020 CommScope, Inc. CommScope Era Medium Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 17 Installing CAP Ms Cat6A Cable Requirements for Ethernet Devices If you connect an Ethernet device to a Fiber CAP M, you must observe the following rules. Plenum rated cable must be used whenever it is required by local electrical codes. Shielded twisted pair is not required unless operating in a high RFI/EMI environment. CommScope strongly recommends using factory terminated and tested Cat6A Patch Cord. 24 AWG Cat6A cabling is sufficient for the cable run between the Fiber CAP M and the Ethernet device. The maximum attached cable length at Port A is 3 meters (9.8 feet). Prepare for Installation Do the following before beginning installation. Review and know the cautions in "Safely Working with Era Hardware on page 10. Review the system design plan. Identify the equipment installation site, which must be able to support the weight of the CAP M, see

"Determine the Mounting Site on page 20. Review the power requirements to make sure the site can support this installation. Map out all cable runs. Identify and obtain all tools and materials required to complete the installation; see "Recommended Tools and Material on page 18 Recommended Tools and Material The following tools and material is required for installation are not supplied by CommScope.

Does not include power drawn by an external PoE device connected to the RJ45 Auxiliary port (Port A); in this configuration, the CAP M will draw an additional 20W. Mains power must be interruptible with an external delay-actions mains breaker. For the Mains breaker, observe the following recommendations. For the AC power supply, 120 Volt / 20 Amp maximum or 240 Volt / 16 Amp, single-phase, 50 / 60 Hz AC service is needed. That is, the external AC breaker should be 20 Amps maximum for 120-Volt service, or 13 to 16 Amps for 240-Volt service. For the DC power supply, observe the local regulations of the DC service provider. M0201AJE_uc February 2020 CommScope, Inc. CommScope Era Medium Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 19 Installing CAP Ms Determine the Mounting Site When deciding on a suitable mounting site, observe the following rules; refer also to "Mounting Orientation on page 28. The CAP M is suitable for installation indoors or outdoors. Use the weights listed in Table 7 to determine a site that can bear the weight of the CAP M that is being installed, where:

The Maximum Lift Weight is the highest weight that must be lifted during installation. (An installer should lift the CAP M components one at a time, not a wholly configured CAP M.) The Total Hanging Weight is the weight of the CAP M, including the weight of the Mounting Bracket, minus the weight of the external cables and connectors, that the mounting site must be able to support.

CommScope Era Medium Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Page 54 M0201AJE_uc February 2020 CommScope, Inc. Installing CAP Ms Connect the Antenna Cable(s) The following information regarding antenna mapping and is relevant to all CAP M variants. For Non-MIMO bands, there is no channel mapping option for the transceiver/antenna port. The transceiver/antenna port relationship is fixed in hardware. For MIMO bands, the Era GUI maps MIMO channels according to their AP designation:

AP0 to antenna port ANT1 AP1 to antenna port ANT2. When using SISO channels on a CAP M that supports MIMO, the system will automatically balance the number of channels between the two antenna ports, where the first SISO channel is mapped to ANT1, the second SISO channel is mapped to ANT2, and so on. Do the following to connect the antenna cables:

1 Obtain 50 coaxial cables that are of sufficient length to reach from the CAP M to the passive antenna. The end of the 50 coaxial cable that will connect to the ANT or ANT1 connector can be either a push-pull connector or a threaded connector. 2 Install the passive antennas per the manufacturers installation instructions. For MIMO CAP M, if connecting both ANT connectors, you will connect the CAP L to either two separate external passive antennas or to two ports on a cross-polarized dual antenna. Each connector supports two RF bands. Use Table 12 to determine how to connect to the antenna correctly for each CAP M variation. Table 12. Mapping CAP M Models to Antennas Part Number Model Name ANT or ANT 1 ANT 2 7781125-000x C AP M 9/18/21/26 9/18/21/26 Not Applicable 7820478-000x C AP M 7E/80-85/17E/19 7E/80-85/17E/19 Not Applicable 7820689-000x C AP M 23/23/25/25 23/25 (MAIN) 23/25 (MIMO) 7835269-000x C AP M 6 /6 / 7 E / 7 E 6/7E (MAIN) 6/7E (MIMO) 3 Remove the IP67/EMI blank plug from the ANT connector. 4 Connect the passive multi-band antenna to the ANT connector using coaxial cable with the least amount of loss possible. 5 6 If the 50 coaxial cable has a push-pull connector, make sure the cable is seated firmly in the ANT connector. If the 50 coaxial cable has a threaded connector, torque the connector 5 N-m (3.69 ft-lb). Do not over-tighten the connector. Connect the other end of the 50 coaxial cable to the passive antenna installed in Step 2. For a MIMO installation, repeat Step 1 through Step 5 to connect an antenna cable to ANT2.
