  Core Specifications  

Fiber Type:

• Multimode OM2 (62.5/125µm) with bend-insensitive technology
• Some variants may use OM3 (50/125µm) for higher bandwidth

Connectors:

• LC/UPC duplex connectors (industry standard)
• Weatherproof OD (Outdoor) variant available (IP67 rated)

Length Options:

• Standard 2m length (472894A.101FSFL variant)

• Other lengths likely available (1m, 5m, 10m)

  Performance Characteristics  

  Comparison with Other Nokia Fiber Models  

Notes:

• 472894A is optimal for short, flexible jumps in base stations, while 473302A suits long outdoor runs.
• CommScope’s DFJ series offers higher bandwidth (OM3) but lacks Nokia’s proprietary boots

  Installation Guidelines  

Pre-Installation Checks

• Verify the cable length (standard 2m for model 472894A.101FSFL) and connector type (LC/UPC duplex).
• Ensure tools are ready: fiber cleaver, alcohol wipes, and a dust cap for unused ports.

Connector Handling

• Clean LC connectors with alcohol wipes before insertion to avoid signal loss. Hold the connector vertically during cleaning.
• Bend radius: Maintain ≥15× the cable diameter (e.g., 45mm for a 3mm cable) to prevent fiber damage.

Outdoor Installation (if applicable)

• Use IP67-rated sealed boots for outdoor deployments to protect against moisture and dust.
  
• Ground the cable properly if connecting to RRU/BBU to mitigate EMI.

Connection Steps

• Align LC connectors with Nokia equipment ports (e.g., AirScale BTS or Flexi modules) until they click into place.
• Secure excess cable with velcro straps (avoid zip ties to prevent crushing).

Testing

• Use an optical power meter to verify insertion loss (should be ≤0.5 dB for OM2).

  Usage Notes  

• Compatibility: Designed for Nokia AirScale/Flexi BTS and RRH interconnections.
• Maintenance: Regularly inspect connectors for dirt; re-clean if signal degradation occurs.
