The deployment of Remote Radio Head (RRH) architecture poses unique challenges to the mobile telecom industry. RFS’ RRH protection solutions mitigate the risk of damage due to lightning and provide high levels of availability and reliability to radio equipment. The rack mount system installs at the DC power base station to protect DC power plants from voltage surges and lightning. The system is designed to protect 6 -48VDC circuits. The unit can start as a 6 radio protection system and a second rack mount unit can be employed (daisy - chained) to protect 6 additional RRH's.
• Employs the Strikesorb® 30-V1-HV Surge Protective Device (SPD) specifically designed for the Remote Radio Head (RRH) installation environment and certified for use in DC applications and at low DC operating voltages (48V). • The Strikesorb 30-V1-HV is a Class I SPD, certified by VDE per the IEC 61643-11 standard as suitable for installation in areas where direct lightning exposure is expected. Strikesorb 30-V1-HV is able to withstand direct lightning currents of up to 5kA (10/350) and induced surge currents of up to 60kA (8/20). • Provides very low let through / clamping voltage – unique for a Class I product – as it does not employ spark gaps or other switching elements. Strikesorb offers unique protection levels to the RRH equipment as well as the Base Band Units. • Digital Voltmeter with twelve (12) position switch to monitor each DC circuit. • Strikesorb is fully recognized to the UL 1449 3rd Edition Safety Standard. • Patent pending design.
