Attach suitable terminal rings to the side that connects to the power source.

A 2.5m DC power cable is supplied with each chassis. Additional DC cables can 
be ordered from Alvarion. If necessary, use the following instruction to prepare a 
DC cable.

For a cable length up to 2.5m use a cable with 4 x 10AWG (or thicker) wires for 
the power plus and an additional 10AWG (or tghicker) ground wire. For a 
longer cable (up to 10m), use a cable with 4 x 8AWG (or thicker) wires for the 
power plus and an additional 10AWG (or tghicker) ground wire.

The matching power connector to be used is D-SUB 5W5S Female with power 
pins 40A.

Connect the cable to the power connector as follows:

‘

Pin 1 (RTN): Red (10/8 AWG min wire)

‘

Pin 2 (-48V): Black (10/8 AWG min wire)

‘

Pin 3 (

): Ground (shield), Green/Yellow (10AWG min wire)

‘

Pin 4 (-48V): Black (10/8 AWG min wire)

‘

Pin 1 (RTN): Red (10/8 AWG min wire)

Power Supply Unit (PSU)

The single Euro PSU module is a 48 VDC power supply unit. Each Base Station 
chassis can contain up to four PSU modules providing N+1 redundancy 
configurations. 

The following table displays the number of PSU modules (excluding redundant 
units) required for various Base Station configurations:

It is strongly recommended to always use the power cables available from Alvarion. 

Due to the high current that should be supported by the cable, good workmanship in preparing it is 
essential.
