CPRI Cable SM 60m

The CPRI cable SM 60m is the fully specified cable line in this catalogue, and it is specified by characteristics rather than by a model table. The published material states an outdoor cabling application, a jacket size of 7.0mm or 5.0mm, crush resistance, full water blocking rated IP67, a moisture-resistant loose tube, and two fiber cores. No model table and no transmission figures have been published for this cable, so this page states characteristics only and does not invent a model number, a loss figure or a bandwidth figure for it.

CPRI is the interface between a base station baseband unit and its remote radio head, and the cable that carries it has a harder life than an indoor patch cord. It runs outdoors, up towers and along rooftops, where it meets rain, sun, wind loading and physical handling. The characteristics published for this cable answer those conditions directly: an outdoor jacket, crush resistance for handling and clamping, full water blocking to IP67 against rain and immersion, and a moisture-resistant loose tube that protects the fibers inside the jacket over years of exposure. A buyer should read those characteristics as a description of the cable's construction, not as a performance guarantee for a specific span.

The two jacket sizes, 7.0mm and 5.0mm, give an installer a choice between a heavier cable for exposed runs and a lighter cable where space or weight matters, such as a crowded tower riser or a congested cable tray. The choice between them is a matter for the installation design, and a buyer should state the installation environment during the inquiry so the right jacket can be confirmed. The two fiber cores match the duplex nature of a CPRI link, which needs a transmit and a receive path.

The IP67 rating deserves a plain explanation. It means the cable construction is protected against dust ingress and against immersion in water under defined test conditions. It does not mean the whole installed link is waterproof regardless of how connectors are sealed, how the cable is terminated, or how the installation is maintained. A buyer should treat the rating as a property of the cable construction and confirm the termination and sealing arrangements for the installation during the inquiry.

This page deliberately stops where the published material stops. No attenuation figure, no bandwidth figure, no operating temperature range and no connector specification is stated, because none has been published for this cable. A buyer who needs any of those figures should ask for them during the inquiry, and the answer will come from the published specification document rather than from an estimate. The same applies to the companion cable in the catalogue, the CPRI cable MM 3m, which is listed at series level on the fiber cable series page and carries no published figures on this site.

On certification, no certification claim is made for this cable on this site, because no product-page certification statement has been published for it. Certificates are available upon request. No prices, minimum order quantities, delivery times or stock figures are stated for this cable, because none have been published. Before ordering, confirm quantity, price and delivery time during the inquiry, together with the jacket size and the installation environment the cable will serve.
