CommScope Era High Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Preliminary 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. Based on ION-E, Era operates on the same cost-efficient standard IT cabling as ION-E and is compatible with ION-E deployments. 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. 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 CAN to collectively refer to Central Area Nodes. When information pertains to a specific CAN mode, Classic CAN and Switching CAN will be used. 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 High Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Preliminary Page 4 M0201AKB_uc January 2019 CommScope, Inc. CAP H Overview CAP H OVERVIEW This installation guide describes the High Power Carrier Access Point (CAP H), which interfaces with a Classic CAN or TEN via an optical link. This allows the CAP H to provide data over Single-Mode Fiber (SMF), or Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF). Power for a CAP H is provided over internal AC/DC (AC version) or DC (DC version). On the downlink, the CAP H converts data arriving at the CAP H 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. Figure 1 on page 5 shows how a CAP H can be deployed in an Era system.

CommScope Era High Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Preliminary Page 19 Installing a CAP H INSTALLING A CAP H CAP H Installation and Cascade Rules The following sections guide you through the installation of a CAP H. Pay attention to all cautions and follow the steps in the order presented. When installing a CAP H, you must observe the following rules. The CAP H connects via its Optical Port 1 to an OPT Card in a Classic CAN or TEN. You can only install the OPT Card in Slots L1- L4. You can connect up to 4 CAP Hs per OPT Card, for a total of 16 CAP Hs. You can connect up to 4 Primary CAP Hs per OPT Card, and then connect one Secondary CAP H to each Primary CAP H, for a total of 32 CAP Hs. When cascading a Secondary CAP H or an external Ethernet device such as WiFi or an IP camera, you must observe the following rules. In a cascade, the CAP H connected directly to a Classic CAN or TEN is the Primary CAP H, and the CAP H that connects to the Primary CAP H is the Secondary CAP H. To cascade two CAP Hs, connect the fiber-optic cable from Optical Port 2 of the Primary CAP H to Optical Port 1 of the Secondary CAP H. You connect CAP Hs to an OPT Card in a Classic CAN or TEN. Each OPT Card has four 10 Gbps ports

(labeled 1 - 4) for fiber connections. The OPT Card can only be installed in Slots L1 - L4 of a Classic CAN or TEN. You can connect up to 4 CAP Hs per OPT Card for a total of 16. 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 H-either CAP H can transmit all the 320 MHz RF bandwidth or any subset of it. The Primary and Secondary CAP Hs power up as soon as power is applied to them. In a cascade, the GUI discovers and readies the Primary CAP H for RF first, and then the Secondary CAP H will be discovered and readied for RF. Prepare for Installation Do the following before beginning installation. Review and know the cautions in "Safely Working with a CAP H" on page 14. Review the system design plan. Identify and obtain all tools and materials required to complete the installation; see "Recommended Tools and Material" on page 21 CommScope Era High Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Preliminary Page 20 M0201AKB_uc January 2019 CommScope, Inc.

Inspect the exterior of the shipping container(s) for evidence of rough handling that may have damaged the components in the container. 2 Unpack each container while carefully checking the contents for damage and verify with the packing slip. If damage is found or parts are missing, file a claim with the commercial carrier and notify CommScope Technical Support (see "CMS Global Technical Support" on page 53). Save the damaged cartons for inspection by the carrier. Save all shipping containers for use if the equipment requires shipment at a future date. Unpack and Inspect the CAP H and Optional Accessories 1 3 4 Installation Cautions Read and observe all cautions listed in "Safely Working with a CAP H" on page 14. Do not install the unit in a way or at a place where the specifications outlined in the Environmental and Safety Specifications leaflet of the supplier are not met. Due to power dissipation, the CAP H may reach a very high temperature. Ensure sufficient airflow for ventilation. Do not operate this equipment on or close to flammable materials. Use caution when servicing the CAP H. Exceeding the specified load limits may cause the loss of warranty. When connecting and mounting the CAP H cables, ensure that no water can penetrate the unit chassis through these cables. Ensure that there is free access to the electrical connections as well as to the cabinet. The approved bending radius of the connected cables must not be exceeded. See "Determine the Mounting Site" on page 23. M0201AKB_uc January 2019 CommScope, Inc. CommScope Era High Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Preliminary Page 21 Installing a CAP H If any different or additional mounting material is used, ensure that the mounting remains as safe as the mounting designed by the manufacturer. The specifications for stationary use of the CAP H must not be exceeded. Ensure that the static and dynamic strengths are adequate for the environmental conditions of the site. The mounting itself must not vibrate, swing or move in any way that might cause damage to the CAP H. A spacing of 50 mm (1.97 inch) around the unit is required. To ensure sufficient airflow when mounting the CAP H in enclosed spaces, two lid openings (one for the air inlet and the other for the air outlet) must be provided. Do not block these air inlets and outlets when mounting the CAP H. The size of each opening must equal at least 18 x 18 cm (> 300 cm2). Ensure that there is no thermal short circuit between the air inlet and air outlet. Make sure free airflow is not deflected or otherwise obstructed. Observe all additional rules or restrictions regarding mounting that apply to specific CAP H types. For details refer to the mechanical specifications in the data sheet for the unit. Install the unit vertically with the Fan Unit at the top. A maximum tilt angle of 25 from a vertical position must be maintained, as shown in the following illustration. CommScope Era High Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Preliminary Page 22 M0201AKB_uc January 2019 CommScope, Inc. Installing a CAP H Determine the Mounting Site When deciding on a suitable mounting site, observe the following rules. The CAP H 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 H 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 H components one at a time, not a wholly configured CAP H.) The Total Hanging Weight is the weight of the CAP H, 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 High Power Carrier Access Point Installation Guide Preliminary Page 33 Installing a CAP H Connect the Antenna Cable The following information regarding antenna mapping and is relevant to all CAP H 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 H 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. Use Table 9 to determine how to connect to the antenna correctly for each CAP H variation. Table 9.

Connect the MAINS Power This section tells you how to connect the mains power to the CAP H. Read and observe all cautions and follow the steps in the order in which they are presented. Installing a CAP H Working Safely with MAINS Power Read and observe all cautions listed in "Safely Working with a CAP H" on page 14. Electrical hazard. Danger of death or fatal injury from electrical current. Obey all general and regional installation and safety regulations relating to work on high voltage installations, as well as regulations covering correct use of tools and personal protective equipment. Ground (earth) the unit before connecting the power supply. Grounding bolts are provided on the CAP H connector panel to connect the ground-bonding cable. See "Ground the CAP H" on page 32. If the CAP H MAINS connector is not easily accessible, a disconnect device in the mains power circuit must be provided within easy reach. A connection of the mains supply to a power socket requires the power socket to be near the CAP H. Before connecting or disconnecting the CAP H MAINS connector, ensure that the mains power supply is disconnected. Make sure that an appropriate circuit breaker is acting as a disconnect device (as required by IEC/EN62368-1 annex L) and an overcurrent limiting device are connected between mains power and the CAP H. Incorrectly wired connections can destroy electrical and electronic components. To avoid corrosion at the connectors caused by electrochemical processes, the material of the cable connectors must not cause a higher potential difference than 0.6 V (see electrochemical contact series). For destabilized electric networks, which frequently generate spikes, the use of a voltage limiting device is advised. Unused connectors must be closed with their protective covers to ensure water tightness. M0201AKB_uc January 2019 CommScope, Inc.
