Overview:
In modern telecommunications, CPRI (Common Public Radio Interface) cables and patch cords play a crucial role in ensuring high-speed, low-latency connections between network components.
These cables are essential in wireless communication systems, particularly in Remote Radio Head (RRH) to Baseband Unit (BBU) connections, where reliability and efficiency are paramount.
What is CPRI patch cord?
- A CPRI patch cord is one type of outdoor fiber optic patch cord that width used on 3G 4G 5G FTTA base station to connector the fiber from data base cabinet to FTTA tower. Normally it uses LSZH or TPU outsheath to ensure the core safe from external environmental influences. In some more hasrd environment, we must to use armored type CPRI patch cable to to ensure that the connection process is not easily interrupted.
- A CPRI (Common Public Radio Interface) patch cord is a rugged, specialized fiber optic cable used in cellular networks (3G, 4G, 5G) to connect the Baseband Unit (BBU) to the Remote Radio Unit (RRU), enabling high-speed, low-latency digital transmission of radio signals and control data between them, especially in outdoor Fiber-to-the-Antenna (FTTA) applications. They replace bulky coaxial cables with durable, weatherproof fiber links, often using duplex LC connectors for standardized connections.
- A common type CPRI patch cord structurer is including: DLC connector with armored fanout + field fiber optic cable + DLC connector with armored fanout.
CPRI patch cord application:
- Wireless Base Stations (4G/5G): The primary use is linking the Baseband Unit (BBU) to the Remote Radio Unit (RRU) for mobile communication.
- Fibre-to-the-Antenna (FTTA): Essential for extending fiber directly to antennas, common in cellular networks.
- Rooftop & Tower Installations: Their robust design is ideal for harsh outdoor conditions on cell towers and rooftops.
- Distributed Wireless Systems: Used in outdoor setups for better signal distribution.
- Emergency & Military Comms: Quick deployment for rapid communication setups.
