FTTA/PTTA Site Solutions for Wireless Networks

The Fiber To The Antenna (FTTA/PTTA) architecture is key to the development of next generation wireless networks and satisfies the industry’s need for increased capacity, advanced service offerings and energy efficiency. This innovative architecture moves the active transmission equipment closer to the base station antennas, connecting them through fiber optic and DC power cables to the Base Band Units (BBU) which are typically

located close to the DC power at the site.

Raycap offers a full complement of integrated Remote Radio Head (RRH) site solutions to enable and protect FTTA/PTTA architectures. These include field-upgradable enclosures in a variety of sizes and capacities, cable solutions, mounting systems, boxless connectivity solutions, as well as Strikesorb®, the ultimate lightning protection for the exposed RRHs.

Raycap has led the way in the development of advanced connectivity solutions for the FTTA/PTTA wireless network infrastructure.

Raycap’s connectivity and power protection solutions feature optional maintenance-free Strikesorb lightning protection, engineered for use in RRH architectures to protect equipment from incomming lightning currents.

Worldwide, Raycap’s solutions for FTTA/PTTA networks have been installed at more than 200,000 wireless sites.

protective devices IEC 61643-11, ANSI UL 1449 3rd Edition and IEEE C62.41. Strikesorb modules endure UL 3-cycle testing in order to ensure their safe operation when exposed to high levels of short circuit current.

The Strikesorb 30-V1-HV modules feature enhanced performance characteristics and are especially suitable for DC telecommunications applications typically operating at -48 VDC. Offering maintenance-free operation, they will mitigate the risk of damage due to lightning and provide high levels of availability and reliability to the installation.

Operators investing in solutions using Strikesorb surge protection realize significant returns resulting from uninterrupted network operations, greater customer retention, minimized operating costs, greater revenue security and a maximization of investment returns.

Strikesorb 30-V1-HV

Raycap’s FTTA/PTTA connectivity solutions and Strikesorb surge protection technology are manufactured and tested at Raycap’s state-of-the-art facilities under the strictest guidelines for

SPD production and testing standards.

Raycap’s surge protection systems are manufactured in the company’s total quality

control ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified manufacturing facilities in

Europe and North America. The products comply with all relevant international SPD surge performance and safety standards including IEC, EN, IEEE and UL. Individual SPD component qualification testing and monitoring by automatic tracking procedures ensures the highest quality end products are delivered to customers worldwide.

Strikesorb® SPDs are offered in Class I and Class II configurations to deliver the most effective and economic lightning and surge protection solutions available. They have been tested to surge current waveforms (8/20 µs Class II and 10/350 µs Class I), as defined by international standards for surge
