I think all the manufactures units can be powered by the the BBU via a 7 wire cable. We use Zhone and they have a nice little plug in gizmo that we put in the BBU which allows us to run only 2 wires to the outdoor unit, but still get all the BBU statistics. We still have to run two cables, but we usually just run two cat5 cables. We try to keep the BBU within about 10-15 feet of the outdoor unit.
