Structured Cabling and Security System Standards 7

MANAGEMENT OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS CABLING

Proper cable management is necessary to enable optimal airflow through IT equipment (minimizing energy usage), to allow identification and management of cabling throughout the IT equipment lifecycle, and to minimize risks of damage to the networking system by minimizing opportunities for damage to cables, connectors, and conveyances.

EVALUATION FACTORS

Cable management allows appropriate airflow

Cables properly labeled to allow easy identification

Cable management is organized, logical, systematic, and aesthetic

IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMENTS

Cable that is installed above a suspended ceiling must be supported per NFPA code requirements. Three choices are, conduits, cable tray or by J-hooks.

Cabling plants shall be planned to enable the installation of IT equipment. Install and utilize cable conveyances (cable trays, cable managers, and similar) in all IT installations.

Free-run telecommunications cabling is NOT maintainable or sustainable and has a higher lifecycle cost than properly designed and installed cabling plant systems.

Cabling shall be run in horizontal, vertical, or overhead cable management systems where available. Procure and install cable management equipment when cabling installations need such to enable aesthetic, managed cabling outcomes.

Always plan the cabling path and manage the cabling installation, down to the level of the patch cable to the individual piece of IT equipment. Individual cables shall not be free run.

Individual cable lengths shall be selected appropriately for their purpose. Cable slack shall be managed with attention to installation criteria such as bend radius. Excessive slack indicates a poor choice of cable length.

Patch cables and power cords between Rack PDUs and IT equipment shall not be run from one IT equipment rack to another. Power distribution detailed in the infrastructure section specifically calls out zone PDUs that supply power to multiple racks to obtain maximum power densities. These devices and their power supplies are not affected by this guidance.

Patch and power cables shall not be left unmanaged where they may interfere with exhaust airflow or have the potential to catch or snag on people or equipment.

Document all cabling components and their linkage between components and make sure that this information is updated on a regular basis. The installation, labeling, and documentation should always match. Maintain cabling documentation, labeling, and logical/physical cabling diagrams.

Structured Cabling and Security System Standards 8

EXAMPLES OF PROPER AND IMPROPER INSTALLATION

These are examples of acceptable cabling management implementations.

Proper management of patch cables with the use of horizontal and vertical wire managers Properly dressed and labeled cables in a ceiling hung cable tray

Properly dressed and organized cables in a server cabinet. Airflow is not obstructed, and cables are secured as to prevent damage

Cabling is carefully run as to not interfere with the sliding motion of the server or server cabling

Ethernet patch cables neatly organized and labeled evenly and in-line with machine printed labels Properly dressed cables in a ceiling mounted cable tray.

Structured Cabling and Security System Standards 9

Consider vendor-specific IT equipment requirements for cabling so as not to impede intended operation of that equipment, such as blocking exhaust ports. The cabling management in Image 1 is appropriate except for the aqua-colored cables entering from the left, which cover the fan module on the left of the switch. This keeps the fan module from being replaced without disconnecting the network.

Aqua colored cables on the left are improperly installed as they prevent the removal of the fan module

Structured Cabling and Security System Standards 10

INSTALLATION STANDARDS

Comply with latest editions and addenda of TIA-568 (SET) (cabling), TIA-569 (pathways), TIA-607 (grounding and bonding), BICSI N1, NFPA 70

Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) twisted pair communication cable is strictly forbidden

All cabling shall be installed in a neat, workman like manner without twists, kinks, and unnecessary crossovers

Cables should not be in contact with the ground. Use cable management components and techniques to maintain a clean, clear, and safe work environment

Do not mount cabling in locations that block access to other equipment (e.g., power strip or fans) inside and outside the racks

Patch cables should follow the side of the IT equipment rack closest to the assigned NIC

Cables should not be looped around themselves or other objects

Route cables with gentle loops to avoid damage due to exceeding bend radius limitations. Glass fiber can be easily broken with rough handling or overly tight bends

Cables should be tight enough to maintain position but not tight enough to deform the jacket or put tension on the connectors

Based on heat exhaust (airflow), serviceability, and excess cable lengths, do not install folding/retractable cable management arms for IT equipment in computer spaces. Arms currently installed on existing equipment may be used until the equipment is refreshed and removed. · All cable slack should be concealed within the rack either vertically or within cable managers. Slack should not be looped. With use of the correct length cables, there should not be sufficient slack to enable looping. · Use the correct length patch cables. Cables should not be twisted or wrapped around other cables, including when bundled

Structured Cabling and Security System Standards 11

NETWORK CABLE BUNDLING

Bundle cables together in groups of relevance (for example, cables to a single equipment distributor or uplinks to core devices), as this will ease management and troubleshooting.

Bundles of cables, when necessary, should be built from sub-bundles of no more than 16 individual cables. The larger bundles should not exceed 4 sub-bundles of like quantity.

When bundling or securing cables, use Velcro-based ties not more than every 1 to 2 meters, and more frequently as needed to maintain a clean installation. Do not use zip ties or twist ties for cable bundling or securing, as these apply pressure on the cables.

Only bundle like cable types. Do not bundle fiber, power, and UTP together.

Cable labels shall be visually accessible to local personnel following installation, for future Identification and troubleshooting purposes. Rather than bundling groups of cabling in a manner that prevents identification of individual cables, bundle in a different manner and/or relocate the cabling to locations where they will not be obscured. Consider bundling so all cables are on the exterior of the bundle.

Structured Cabling and Security System Standards 12

UTP, FIBER, POWER CABLING

Segregate power and telecommunications cabling in separate cable tray systems; use different conveyance systems located not less than 12” apart when these two systems are run in parallel.

Where possible, run power and telecommunications in separate paths to reduce risks of EMI/RFI and data transmission losses.

Do not install UTP cabling on top of fiber cabling to prevent damage to the fiber transmission medium.

Segregate UTP and fiber telecommunications cabling, using different conveyances where possible. Where not possible or provided, ensure fiber cable is protected from damage. Use fiber inner duct where necessary within the same cabling conveyance.

Use properly sized equipment power cords; use of 6’ length power cords where 2’ cords are needed is not considered a best practice.

Separate A- and B-side power and segregate equipment power cords (between vertical rack power distribution units and IT equipment) by color for identification of A/B power to each piece of IT equipment.

CABLE LABELING

The CoD standard specifies use of ANSI/TIA 606-C compatible formats for identifying data communications cabling. More complicated installations may require reference to that document. Data communications cabling (UTP, fiber, and others) shall be labeled on both ends with information (6-digit drop ID) about the network port that it connects to on each end. Machine-printed tags secured with clear plastic or acetate adhesive tape are the minimum standard for these tags as in Figure below. Handwritten labels of any type are NOT permitted.

To identify the connected path of each data communications cable, the physical position identifiers at both ends of the cable are needed. The label for each end of the cable shall identify the six-digit drop ID as described on the next page/section of this document (Drop and Patch Panel Labeling)

Structured Cabling and Security System Standards 13

DROP AND PATCH PANEL LABELING

All installed drops must be labeled and must correspond to patch panel labeling precisely according to the following specifications:

Patch panels should be labeled per the following specification: Each patch panel should be represented by a 3-digit alphanumeric patch panel ID label (e.g. 11A,21B, 31C) where the first numeric character represents the floor where the IDF/MDF exists (0 for basement, 1 for the first floor, 2 for the second floor, etc.) and the second numeric character represents the IDF number per floor. The third character is the unique letter designation for each patch panel beginning with “A”. For example: The second of two IDFs on the first floor would have its patch panels labeled 12A, 12B, 12C and so forth. The actual patch panel ports should be labeled 001, 002, 003 and so on. Each patch panel port label should begin at 001 and end at 048 (48-port patch panel).

Drops ( jacks) should be labeled per the following specification: The drop ID is a 6-digit alphanumeric convention where the first three digits are the patch panel ID as explained in the patch panel labeling specification above, and the last three digits are numeric and represent the actual drop number using the following format (001, 002, 036, 042 and so on). Drop ID numbers should match patch panel numbering.

Drop ID examples: Drop with 12A022 would indicate that the drop is terminating to the second of two IDFs on the 1st floor, patch panel A, and patch panel port (22) 022. In another example, drop 21C010 would indicate that the drop is terminated to an IDF on the 2nd floor, patch panel C, and patch panel port (10) 010. Note: Basement floors are denoted with a “0”.
