The SUI Card provides local and LAN Ethernet connections and a USB port. System User Interface
(SUI) Card RF Donor (RFD) Card RF Donor (RFD) HB Card Optical Transport (OPT) Card Card Copper Transport (CAT) The RFD Card is the interface for RF signals between the RF source (such as the BTS, eNodeB or e-POI) and a Classic CAN and WINs. RFD Card PN 7633229-0x is for frequencies between 380 MHz and 2700 MHz. RFD HB Card PN 7841277-00 is for frequencies between 2700 MHz and 4300 MHz (and can be used down to 1700 MHz). Note that CAP M and CAP H APs require the use of RFD Card PN 7633229-01 or higher, or an RFD HB or a CDD card. APs that support TETRA services require RFD Card PN 7633229-05 or higher or a CDD card. The OPT Card provides a 10 Gbps fiber connection between a Switching CAN, TENs, and WINs; and between a Classic CAN and TENs and Fiber APs. Each OPT Card supports up to four SFP+ transceivers for device connections. New OPT Card 7642123-01 requires ERA V2.8.0 or higher software. The CAT Card provides 10 Gbps Cat6A connections between a Classic CAN and TENs and UAPs or Copper CAT Ls. CAT Cards also supply the remote power over Cat6A to the UAPs or Copper CAT Ls. At least one 57 Vdc Module is required to use a CAT Card. Auxiliary Unit Transport
(AUT) Card The AUT Card provides a 1 Gbps pass-through connection between a Classic CAN and TENs and APs for WiFi, IP cameras, or other Ethernet devices. CPRI Digital Donor (CDD) Card The CDD Card provides a digital CPRI interface between a Nokia BBU and a Classic CAN or WIN. Power Supply Unit and Power Modules Power Supply Unit (PSU) The PSU can house up to two 12 Vdc Power Modules and two 57 Vdc Power Modules, which supply power to WCS Subracks, APs, and connected devices. 12 Vdc Power Module A 120/240 Vac to 12 Vdc module plugs into the Power Supply Subrack to provide 12 Vdc power to WCS Subracks and e-POI Subracks. 57 Vdc Power Module A 120/240 Vac to 57 Vdc Module plugs into the Power Supply Subrack to provide remote power over Cat6A to connected APs and devices connected to the APs. e-POI Subrack and Cards e-POI Subrack The e-POI Subrack supports up to eight e-POI RF Modules (RFMs) and one Interface Card
(IFC); ships with the IFC factory-installed. M0201ABK_uc June 2021 CommScope, Inc. ERA WCS and e-POI Subracks and Power Supply Unit Installation Guide Page 5 Document Overview Table 1. ERA Hardware System Components Supported in this Manual (Continued) Component Description Interface Card (IFC) The IFC is used to set the Subrack number of the e-POI Subrack. It also provides a Status LED for each of the e-POI Modules in the Subrack. The IFC is factory installed in the e-POI Subrack. e-POI Module The e-POI Modules are low PIM attenuators that reduce high power RF signals from their source by 30 dB to interface with the RFD Cards and works with duplexed input signals. Access Points UAP UAP-N25 UAP-X UAP-XN25 CAP L CAP M CAP MX CAP H A Universal Access Point (UAP) connects to the ERA system via Cat6A cabling, uses its internal antennas to transmit and receive over-the-air signals. It also supports Ethernet backhaul or a cascaded UAP through its AUX port. Similar in function to the UAP and UAP-X, the UAP-N25 and UAP-XN25 feature a 25 MHz filter on one path (instead of the 80 MHz filter on a UAP or UAP-X). This allows coexistence of specific bands, such as Australia 850 MHz and 900 MHz. The Low Power Carrier Access Point (CAP L) connects via Cat6A, Single-Mode Fiber (SMF), or Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF), uses external antennas to transmit and receive over-the-air signals, and supports Gigabit Ethernet pass-through for WiFi, IP cameras, or other devices. The CAP L can provide up to 21 dBm of RF output power per band. It also supports one cascaded CAP L. The Medium Power Carrier Access Point (CAP M) connects via Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) or Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF), uses external antennas to transmit and receive over-the-air signals, and supports pass-through for Ethernet devices (such as WiFi and IP cameras). The CAP M, dependent on the frequency band, can provide up to 30 dBm of RF output. It also supports one cascaded CAP M. The CAP MX connects via Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) or Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF) and uses external antennas to transmit and receive over-the-air signals. It supports a large number of licensed bands. The CAP MX, dependent on the frequency band, can provide from 29 dBm to 33 dBm of RF output. It also supports one cascaded CAP M. The High Power Carrier Access Point (CAP H) connects via Single-Mode Fiber (SMF) or Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF) and uses external antennas to transmit and receive over-the-air signals. The current ERA software does not support pass-through for Ethernet devices
(such as WiFi and IP cameras) for CAP H, but this will be supported in a future software update. The CAP H can provide up to 43 dBm of RF output per band. It also supports one cascaded CAP H.

ERA WCS and e-POI Subracks and Power Supply Unit Installation Guide Page 9 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 Central Area Node (CAN) technology and spectrum agnostic and adaptive. An ERA system comprises the components listed below. 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 CAN and
. provides server-level control and primary signal distribution. It combines Classic Switching Switching CAN configuration is appropriate for when all the BTS and Baseband sources are located The 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. configuration is appropriate for when WINs are required to allow operators to The 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 Transport Expansion Node (TEN) RF sources to a Switching CAN. 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, CAP MX, and the Fiber CAP L. When information pertains to a specific AP type, that AP will be identified.

A TEN is a secondary distribution point that connects to a CAN using Multi-Mode or Single-Mode fiber. An ERA system supports one CAN, and the CAN can support up to 32 TENs in a one TEN to one CAN configuration. However, if you have two or more (up to four) fiber links between a particular TEN and its CAN, this reduces the number of TENs that can connect to a CAN. For example, if you have two fiber links for each TEN, then 16 TENs would be the maximum number of TENs that could be connected to the CAN. The WCS-4 and WCS-2 subracks and all subrack cards have an operating temperature range of
+5 to +40 C (+41 to +104 F). M0201ABK_uc June 2021 CommScope, Inc.

WCS Subrack Alarm Connector WCS-2 and WCS-4 Subrack Overview External alarms are connected to the WCS using a connector inserted into the alarms port located on the rear of the WCS. The alarm connector on the WCS-4 and WCS-2 Subracks has the following inputs:
four opto-isolated (chassis-ground referenced) dry contact inputs to monitor external devices. The alarm state is activated when the alarm input is pulled to ground. The alarm input is referenced to chassis ground, and the alarm ground is tied to the chassis ground. a Summary Alarm Relay that energizes when specific alarms are triggered-the thresholds, shown in the following graphic. The Summary Alarm state changes whenever there is an alarm on the system and returns to its default state when there are no alarms. Depending on which contacts you use the default state is either Normally Closed or Normally Open. The alarm connector on the WCS-4 and WCS-2 Subracks has the following output:
The external alarm output is activated at the CAN whenever there is a critical or major alarm in the system. The alarm output is provided by a relay.

Plenum rated cable must be used wherever it is required by local electrical codes. Cat6A shielded-twisted pair (STP) is not required unless operating in a high RFI/EMI environment. An ERA system requires a minimum Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of 25 dB, and Alien Crosstalk (AXT) must not degrade SNR on any cable by more than 0.5dB. Cat6A cable wire size requirements are as follows:
23 AWG Cat6A cable (minimum EIA/TIA standards) must be used between RJ-45 connector points 24 AWG is the minimum wire size allowed for a Cat6A Patch Cord. CommScope strongly recommends using factory terminated and tested Cat6A Patch Cord. There can never be more than two RJ-45 connections in a Cat6A cable run, as described below and as shown in Figure 6. Minimizing these connections improves the link margin. In a non-cascade, between the CAT Card and the AP, there can be one Cat6A Patch Cord at the start of a Cat6A cable run and a second Cat6A Patch Cord at the end of a Cat6A cable run. In a cascade, between the Primary AP and the Secondary AP, there can be one Cat6A Patch Cord at the start of a Cat6A cable run and a second Cat6A Patch Cord at the end of a Cat6A cable run. 23 AWG Cat6A Cable 24 AWG Cat6A Patch Cord 24 AWG Cat6A Patch Cord AP CAT Card in CAN/TEN RJ-45 connecon 24 AWG Cat6A Patch Cord Primary AP RJ-45 connecon 24 AWG Cat6A Patch Cord 24 AWG Cat6A Patch Cord 23 AWG Cat6A Cable CAT Card CAT/TEN in CAN/TEN 23 AWG Cat6A Cable 24 AWG Cat6A Patch Cord Secondary AP RJ-45 connecon RJ-45 connecon RJ-45 connecon RJ-45 connecon Figure 6. Maximum Number of RJ-45 Connections in Cable Runs Unshielded Cat6A (Category 6A U/UTP) twisted pair cable that meets ANSI/TIA-568-C.2, CENELEC EN 50173 series, and ISO/IEC 11801:2002 including its amendments 1 and 2, is suitable for use in an ERA system. The CommScope GigaSPEED X10D 2091B ETL Verified Category 6A U/UTP Cable (760107201, 2091B BL 4/23 W1000) meets these requirements and is recommended. There are many parameters that impact the SNR of the 10GBase-T signal received by the CAT Card from the AP, or received by the AP from the CAT Card. For example, excessive insertion loss degrades the signal level, which results in a degraded SNR. An increase in the noise level will also result in degraded SNR. The most common sources of noise are NEXT (near end crosstalk, interference from pairs within a cable that couple from the TX to RX), and AXT (alien crosstalk, interference from adjacent cables). Additionally, there can be interference from outside sources such as lighting, switching power supplies, radio transmitters in the UHF and VHF bands, and similar sources of RFI/EMI. To guarantee acceptable SNR level, all cable key parameters must be measured as discussed in the next section.

The 12 Vdc Rectifier Module is fully redundant for ERA. The PSU Rectifier Modules are hot swappable; you do not need to power down the PSU subrack to add or remove a module. A second 12 Vdc Rectifier Module is to provide N+1 redundancy. The following graphic and table identify the 12 Vdc Rectifier Module LEDs and connectors. 1 2 3 Ref # LED LED Color Description 1 2 3 Green AC input is within the specified range of 85 to 264 Vac. AC input is not within the specified range. AC DC Off Green DC output is within the specified range of 12V+/-2% (worst case) over line, load, and temperature. Off DC output is not within the specified range. FLT (Fault) Red There is no AC input or a failure has been detected in the 12 Vdc Rectifier Module. The Fault LED activates under the following conditions:
If two 12 Vdc Rectifier Modules are installed in the PSU, and the AC input is removed (cable unplugged) from one of the modules. If only one 12 Vdc Rectifier Module is installed in the PSU, and AC power is removed. In this instance the FLT LED is only momentarily red. (The PSU has significant energy storage capacity and takes several seconds to fully discharge when AC input power is lost, which allows the FLT LED to remain on for a short period after input power is disconnected.)

SAFELY WORKING WITH ERA HARDWARE Safely Working with ERA Hardware The following sections provide important information that you should read and know before working with any ERA hardware. Observe all cautions and warnings listed in this section. Health and Safety Precautions A high leakage current ground (earth) connection to the Power Supply Unit (PSU) is essential before making any other connections to the PSU. Laser radiation. Risk of eye injury in operation. Do not stare into the laser beam; do not view the laser beam directly or with optical instruments. High frequency radiation in operation. Risk of health hazards associated with radiation from the antenna(s) connected to the unit. Implement prevention measures to avoid the possibility of close proximity to the antenna(s) while in operation. Property Damage Warnings Keep operating instructions within easy reach and make them available to all users. Only license holders for the respective frequency range are allowed to operate this unit. Read and obey all the warning labels attached to the unit. Keep all warning labels are kept in a legible condition. Replace missing or damaged labels. Make sure the unit's settings are correct for the intended use (refer to the manufacturer product information) and regulatory requirements are met. Do not carry out any modifications or fit any spare parts, which are not sold or recommended by the manufacturer. M0201ABK_uc June 2021 CommScope, Inc. ERA WCS and e-POI Subracks and Power Supply Unit Installation Guide Page 43 Safely Working with ERA Hardware General Installation Safety Requirements Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when installing or using electrically powered equipment. To prevent electrical shock, never install or use electrical equipment in a wet location or during a lightning storm. Do not remove protective caps from any of the connectors until instructed to do so. Due to power dissipation, the Power Supply Units may reach a very high temperature if not properly ventilated. Do not operate this equipment on or close to flammable materials. Never operate a WCS-2 or WCS-4 Subrack without a Fan Tray installed. This system is a RF Transmitter and continuously emits RF energy. Maintain a minimum eight-inch (20 cm) clearance from the antenna while the system is operating. Whenever possible, shut down the RAN before servicing the antenna. Guard Against Damage from Electro-Static Discharge Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent ESD damage, always wear an ESD wrist strap when working with hardware components. Not all ERA hardware requires grounding. For those ERA hardware components for which grounding is required, connect the ground wire on the ESD wrist strap to an earth ground source before touching the component. Wear the wrist strap the entire time that you work with the ERA hardware. Compliance 1 Notice:
For installations, which have to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the antenna selection and installation must be completed in a way to ensure compliance with those FCC requirements. Depending on the RF frequency, rated output power, antenna gain, and the loss between the repeater and antenna, the minimum distance D to be maintained between the antenna location and human beings is calculated according to this formula:
D

For optimum PIM performance, the composite level into a Donor (RFD Card) port should be less than 16 dBm. If only one carrier is in a band, PIM is probably not a concern. For the case of two or more carriers in a band, spurious intermods due to PIM could land in the UL causing interference. Whether or not PIM will cause interference depends on the spacing between UL and DL and the frequencies of active carriers. M0201ABK_uc June 2021 CommScope, Inc.

Fiber Optic Link Budget in the ERA System When designing the fiber links for the CommScope ERA system, is important to consider all the factors that can affect link performance. These factors include TX optical power, RX sensitivity, the fiber length, the wavelength, the number of splices, and the number of connectors. This topic briefly describes the key factors that should be considered. Minimum Optical Path Loss The optical power applied to the RX input of the SFP+ module must be less than the Receiver Overload threshold. In some cases, the Receiver Overload is less than or equal to the maximum TX Optical Power, which allows a very short fiber jumper to be used to connect TX to RX power; however, in other cases the TX Power exceeds the Receiver Overload threshold, so a minimum amount of optical attenuation must be applied between the TX output and RX input to prevent overdriving the RX input. See Table 14 on page 62 for a list of Optical Fiber Path Loss >= TX Optical Power Max - Receiver Overload SPF+ modules that are qualified for use with the ERA system. If the path loss is below the amount of attenuation needed to prevent exceeding the Receiver Overload threshold, then additional attenuation must be added in the link to prevent overdrive. This can be done by adding additional fiber or by using an inline optical attenuator. Maximum Optical Path Loss The optical power received at the RX input must be greater than the RX Sensitivity. The RX power is equal to the minimum TX power reduced by any optical attenuation in the TX-RX path. It is good design practice to Maximum Optical Path Loss <= TX Optical Power Min - RX Sensitivity Link Margin provide additional link margin when designing the fiber links. ERA WCS and e-POI Subracks and Power Supply Unit Installation Guide Page 60 M0201ABK_uc June 2021 CommScope, Inc. Optical Link Loss Install and Connect the Subrack Cards Optical loss is calculated by adding the attenuation due to the length of the fiber optic cable, the number of connectors in the link, and the number of splices. If there are other optical devices in the link, then their attenuation needs to be included as well (mux, demux, add/drop, etc.). Optical Link Loss = fiber length(km) * optical attenuation/km
+ Splice Loss * Number of splices
+ Connector Loss * Number of Connectors Minimum Performance Levels The values below are the minimum performance specifications for fiber optic components noted in Table 12.

Complete the steps in "SFP+ Modules Tested for use with ERA on page 62. Connect the CAT Cards This procedure tells you how to connect an AP to a CAT Card installed in a Classic CAN or a TEN. Card Cards cannot be used in a Switching CAN or WIN. In a cascaded AP configuration, you connect the CAT Card to the Main AP. CAT Cards are hot swappable; you do not need to power down the CAN or TEN to install or remove an CAT Card. The -48 Vdc WCS subracks do not supply power over CAT6A to UAPs or Copper CAP L APs. Follow the steps in one of the following sections to install the CAT Cards in Slots L1 - L4 of a Classic CAN or a TEN, as needed for this installation:

Connect the AUT Cards Install and Connect the Subrack Cards The following rules apply to the AUT Card ports 1 - 8. The outside network that supports the Ethernet device connected to the AP must be connected to the corresponding AUT Card and port of the Subrack containing the CAT/OPT card to which the AP is connected. Because the path from the AP AUX port to an AUT port path is a pass-through connection, no extra network setup procedures for the Ethernet device are required. The AUT path is independent of the signal set assigned to an AP, however, the maximum transport bandwidth for the AP is reduced from 320 MHz to 285 MHz when an Ethernet device is connected to the AP. An Ethernet device such as a camera can be connected to the AUX port of an AP if AUT Cards are installed in the TEN or CAN. The AUX port of a cascaded (secondary) AP cannot be used to connect an Ethernet device. The AUT Card ports do not supply power, however, the AP does supply Remote Power over Cat6A to connected Ethernet devices. 1 Gbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet devices are supported, however, the type of device supported is dependent on the type of device connected to the AUT port. If a 100 Mbit/s Ethernet device is connected to the AUT port, then the Ethernet device connected to the associated AP must also be a 100 Mbit/s device. If a 1 Gbit/s Ethernet device is connected to the AUT port, then either a 100 Mbit/s device or a 1 Gbit/s device may be connected to the associated AP. AUT Cards are hot swappable; you do not need to power down the CAN or TEN to install an AUT Card. An AP will experience a Loss of Service that lasts approximately 1.5 minutes when a cascaded AP or an Ethernet device is connected to its AUX port. APs re-flash and reboot whenever an Ethernet device is initially added or when the type of device (AP or Ethernet device) connected to the AUX port is changed. The blue LED on the AP blinks while the AP is re-flashing without interrupting service, but during the reboot the AP experiences approximately 1.5 minutes of Loss of Service. An AUT Card cannot be used in a Switching CAN or a WIN. M0201ABK_uc June 2021 CommScope, Inc.

WCS Subrack Filter Module Maintenance The WCS-2 Subrack has one Filter Module, and the WCS-4 Subrack has two Filter Modules on the left-hand side of the chassis (see "WCS Subrack Fan Trays and Filter Modules on page 31). Air enters the Subrack on the left side of the chassis and exits on the right by the Fan Tray. The Filter Modules should be checked every six months to make sure they are clear of dust and cleaned if necessary. A dirty Filter Module will inhibit fresh air flow and can cause temperature alarms. CommScope has found that CAT Cards are typically first to show temperature alarms if the Filter Module becomes clogged. Removing a WCS Subrack Filter Module WCS Subrack Filter Modules can be pulled out with your fingers, as there are no screwsFilter Modules are retained in the WCS Subrack chassis by friction. However, you may have to use a screwdriver or a flat blade under the lip of the Filter Module frame to help pry it out of its slot. Filter Modules can be pulled out while the system is running. WCS Subrack Filter Module Flatblade tool Figure 16. Removing a WCS Filter Module ERA WCS and e-POI Subracks and Power Supply Unit Installation Guide Page 78 M0201ABK_uc June 2021 CommScope, Inc. Cleaning a WCS Subrack Filter Module Maintenance The Filter Modules are reusable, and can be cleaned with a brush, vacuum, or water. If water is used, as much dust as possible should be removed before getting the Filter Module wet. Figure 17 shows examples of a clean and a dirty Filter Module. When cleaning a Filter Module, take care so you do not damage the EMI gasket at the front of the filter frame. If the Filter Module becomes damaged and cannot be reinstalled, contact your local CommScope sales representative to order a new Filter Module (PN 7700691-xx). Do not clean the Filter Module with water in the same vicinity as the WCS Subrack or other electronics. Wet conditions increase the potential for receiving an electrical shock when installing or using electrically powered equipment. Make sure the Filter Module is completely dry before replacing it in the WCS Subrack chassis. Clean WCS Subrack Filter Module Dirty WCS Subrack Filter Module Figure 17. Examples of Clean and Dirty WCS Subrack Filter Modules Installing a WCS Subrack Filter Module To install a cleaned or new Filter Module, slide the filter into its slot and press firmly until its edge is aligned with the front faceplate of the WCS Subrack chassis and cannot be pushed in any further.

The end-to-end channel must meet the Cat6A U/UTP performance defined by the TIA/EIA 568 C.2 standard; see Table 15. Cat6A Cable CAT/TEN Cat6A Patch Cord Modular Panel Connecon Box CAP L Cat6A Patch Cord Figure 18. ERA End-to-End Channel Some cables list their performance in typical performance values. However, sweep-testing is necessary to confirm actual performance. CommScope strongly recommends using Cat6A cable that has been tested to the listed frequency with test confirmation available for inspection. Table 15.
