Figure 2-6 Rear view of the CTBM


Each CTBM is configured with seven rows of blind mate plugs. The first and third
connectors of each blind mate plug from top to bottom are connected with the +27 V
power cable and GND cable respectively.
The two ends of the 10M clock RF cable connect to the 10M clock interfaces of the
baseband subrack and RF subrack respectively. In this way, the synchronization clock
signals of the baseband subrack can be sent to the RF subrack to keep the clocks of
the baseband subrack and RF subrack synchronized.
The RS485 serial ports of the two RF subracks are connected by serial port cables.
They function to monitor the running status of each carrier.

2.1.3 Power Supply Subrack


The power supply subrack positions under the combined subrack. It is used for
configuring the PSU (for example, DC/DC unit). The DC/DC unit provides the +27 V
power to the BTS3606, and forms the power supply subsystem together with the power
distribution unit, lightning protection unit, and monitoring unit.
All PSUs in the power supply subrack transfer power and signals through the
Compact-BSC Power Backplane Module (CPBM) at the back of the power supply
subrack. They support Online Insertion and Removal (OIR).

If the coaxial cable is adopted, the skin of the transmit/receive cable should be grounded at the transmit
end. For example, when equipment A connects to equipment B, the skin of their transmit signal cables
should be grounded. If one of them does not provides grounding function, the skins of the transmit/receive
