3. Communication Backbone:

A. Less than 100 Meters (328 feet): If the physical path from DMARC to point of service in the new constructed space is less than 100 Meters (328 Feet), terminate 21 pairs of the 25P Cat5e tie cable with 110 block and terminate the 4 pair necessary to provide a standard Cat 5e RJ45 termination surface mount box at both ends. Label all UST at both ends. This is the simplest configuration that satisfies all data and voice circuit extension needs. AT&T will coordinate completion of extension of the data circuit and one dial tone for their out of band management use.

B. Greater than 100 Meters (328 Feet): If the physical path from DMARC to point of service in the new constructed space is more than 100 Meters (328 Feet), install 1.5 inch innerduct with pull string to accommodate fiber extension of the circuit. A Cat5e tie cable terminated 110 block at both ends will satisfy voice dial tone extensions. Label all UST at both ends. The LEC or AT&T will physically extend the fiber circuit. AT&T will coordinate completion of extension of the data circuit and one dial tone for their out of band management use.

C. Furnish and install 1.5” diameter innerduct with 500 pull force pull string from the building D-mark to the communication rack. Innerduct color shall be blue. Leave a minimum of 10 feet slack on either end. Properly tag both ends of the innerduct.

4. Telephone Cabling:

A. Cabling and jacks shall be color white.

B. Label both ends of the new cables and terminations, identifying the room and jack number.

Identification labels or tags must be legible, neat and durable. Provide a cabling plan/ diagram to show jack designations by office, and by patch panel port number.

c) Labeling shall be as follows:

a. The wall plates: D - ## (## = numbering sequence)

b. Communication Closet patch panel: D - ## (corresponding number sequence)

H. All data cables shall be homerun from a jack to the patch panel in the Communication Closet. A service loop of at least ten (10) feet shall be provided at the punch down end in the Communication Closet. The service loop shall be secured to the cable support system/tray below the suspended ceiling.

a) Furnish a second patch panel, same size/capacity, and install below the above noted data patch panel. Both patch panels shall be labeled alike.

b) Furnish Category 6A, RJ-45, 4-pair, 8-wire, straight-pinning modular patch cables, length and color as follows: (Exact quantities shall be determined during CD development)

a. Two (2) feet in length, color blue. Quantity: one (1) for each cable pull.

b. Three (3) feet in length, color blue. Quantity: one (1) for each cable pull.
