    INSTALLATION PRACTICESUTP CablesWhen terminating UTP cables, all pairs should remain twisted right up to theinsulation displacement connector. The untwisted ends of the UTP cable shallnot be longer than 6 in.

    Installation staff shall design the system such that sufficient slack remains toenable re-termination of the outlets a minimum of twice and provide a limitedscope for movement of the cabinets. Coils of excess UTP cables underneath thecabinets are unacceptable

    Patch panels shall permit termination of incoming cables from the front so thatrear access is not required. Patching shall also be done from the front of thepanels.

    All RJ-45 outlets and UTP cables shall be terminated as T56B-TSB

    TESTINGElectrical or optical tests shall be carried out on cables used for the distribution ofvoice, data and video services. These tests are to be carried out following theterminations and labeling of the cabling.

    HORIZONTAL UTP CABLINGThe following checks are to be undertaken by the Installer on every pair of everycable. The minimum acceptable results are defined in TIA/EIA 568-B1 Category6 Permanent Link:

    Attenuation

    Delay

    Delay skew NEXT

    PSNEXT Return loss

    ELFEXT PSELFEXT ACR

    PSACR CABLE ROUTE LENGTH Continuity Pin Assignment

    The testing instrument is to be Level II compliant, and calibration is requiredbefore use.

    FIBER OPTIC CABLING

    100% Insertion Loss (light source and power meter) testing of allterminated fibers shall be performed in both directions at 850nm formultimode cables and 1310nm for single mode cables.

    OTDR tests shall be performed at high wavelength, if the distance isgreater than 500m at 1310nm for multimode cables and greater than1000m at 1550nm for single mode cables.

    Optical loss covers the total loss between two corresponding optical portsand must include allowances for losses due to fiber connectors, passiveoptical components, splices and any margin for maintenance.

    The optical fiber link shall meet Optical Class Link performance testing asspecified in current FIA standard.

    A copy of all test results should be retained and an additional copy delivered tothe Project Manager on completion of the project. The test results shall beprovided on magnetic media in a format readable by standard personalcomputers and as printed documents.The project will NOT be deemed complete until such time as these results havebeen accepted by the Project Manager.

    UNDERGROUND CABLESAll underground cables shall be tested according to the following:The insulation resistance is to be tested on a minimum of two randomly pickedpairs in every 100 pairs. The test is to be done in accordance with BS6701 andresults are to match or exceed the performance parameters in BS6701:

    CABLE PERFORMANCE PARAMETERSThe capacitance is to be tested on a minimum of two randomly picked pairs inevery 100 pairs. The test is to be done in accordance with BS6701. The resultsare to match or exceed the performance parameters in BS6701:The loop resistance of each pair is to be tested with the lowest and highestreadings recorded. The difference between the lowest and highest reading is notto exceed 10%.

    Further to these tests every pair shall be tested for the following:

    Continuity

    Correct sequence. In particular: reversed pairs, transpositions and split

    pairs.

    DIAGRAMMATIC DRAWINGSAll drawings are diagrammatic and therefore the final position of equipment is tobe verified before installation. Where necessary refer to the architecturaldrawings for elevations and co-ordination with furniture.

    CABLE MANAGEMENTA complete cable management system is to be provided. In particular, conduits

    and cable trays are to be provided for cable reticulation, and cables are to besupported independent of the structural supports at all times.

    Cable trays shall be used to support greater than five (5) UTP cables. For five (5)UTP cables or less, plug and J Rings may be used. Tie wraps are not to be usedat any point for the project; Velcro fasteners/wraps may be used.

    To provide an organized patching facility in the telecommunications cabinets,vertical and horizontal cable rings will be used to route patch cords around thefront of the patch panels. The space between the equipment racks will be usedfor mounting vertical cable rings and cable mesh. The vertical ring supports the

    patch cords and provides adequate room for storing slack in the patch cords.Cable management rings shall be installed between patch panels for patch cordcable management within equipment cabinets. Allow two (2) rack units of cablemanagement for every forty-eight (48) RJ-45 ports within the equipment cabinet.Strain relief bars and tray mounted on the rear of each patch panel are to beused for supporting cables terminating on the rear of all patch panels. Correctcable bending radii are to be observed at all times, kinks and tight bends will notbe accepted. The horizontal four pair copper UTP cabling shall originate at the

    rear of the local RJ-45 patch panel in the telecommunication rack and terminatewith IDC on the rear of the telecommunications outlets. When using cable ties,Installers should be aware that over-tightening of the ties could impact theperformance of cables. The use of Velcro ties can overcome these difficulties,and best practice would indicate that their use within racks and cabinets and in

    other locations where modifications occur frequently is advisable.GROUNDINGStandard to ISO/IEC Generic Cabling for Customer PremisesRequirementsEach cabinet will be grounded using an ground cable in accordance with currentI.E.E. regulations, to a telecoms room bus bar, which will be grounded using aground cable in accordance with current I.E.E. regulations to the Main BuildingGround (MBG).Bonding Cable Size and AccessibilityThe grounding system must be bonded to the building power supply groundusing #6 AWG (minimum) multi-strand green/yellow PVC insulated copper cable.

    The electrode/ground cable connection is to be accessible for maintenance,inspection and testing purposes.

    ROUTE LENGTH

    The maximum length of any run of twisted pair cable from the patch panelto the final outlet is 330 ft.

    The maximum work area fly lead length shall not exceed 16 ft.

    The maximum patch cord length shall not exceed 16 ft.

    CLEAR PATH REQUIREMENTThe Project Manager/General Contractor has provided the Installer clear and

    well-defined paths through which it will run cables for this installation as indicatedin the architectural drawings. It will be the responsibility of the Installer tocoordinate and clarify all paths with the Project Manager/General contractorwithin the scope and estimate of this proposal.
