Revision G, 2023 Page 2 of 13

GENERAL

1. The purpose of this document is to supplement Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industry Alliance (TIA/EIA) commercial standards for premise wiring (Local Area Network cabling) on Keesler AFB.

2. New construction or renovations programming premise wiring work requires coordination with the 81 CS/SCXP Plans and Programs Office, contact # 377- 7500 prior to implementation.

3. All premise wiring installed on Keesler AFB will conform to TIA/EIA wiring standards listed at the end of this document and the supplemental guidance contained in the attachments within this document.

4. Any deviations from the attached standards and this supplement should be coordinated and approved by the 81 CS/SCXP.

5. Contractual responsibilities:

5.1 Contractors selected to complete premise wiring work must have at least one experienced\technically certified Building Industry Consulting Service International (BICSI) technician on site.

5.2 Provide as-built drawings for the premise wiring work accomplished identifying installation/relocation work.

5.3 Provide test results for new\relocated premise wiring work accomplished.

5.4 Contractors shall be responsible for restoring work areas to original condition.

5.5 81 CS quality assurance office 81 CS/SCQ will be the approving authority for premise wiring work accomplished in new construction or renovations.

Revision G, 2023 Page 6 of 13

TERMINATIONS

All premise cabling supporting a Local Area Network will be terminated using 568B standards. Terminations will be made to available patch panel slots using the standard outlined below and appropriate labeling applied. If no patch panel slots are available a new patch panel will be installed. Deviation from this requirement will be considered on a case-by-case basis i.e., where space for a patch panel is not available.

Pairs will not be untwisted more than .5 inch. Cable jacket will not be stripped back more than 1 inch. No nicks on the inner conductors.

Revision G, 2023 Page 7 of 13

CABLE MANAGEMENT

The Contractor shall ensure a neat and orderly installation utilizing proper cable management IAW current applicable standards. Data drops shall be routed in a manner to ensure the cables are protected and aesthetically pleasing along the cable path. Metal raceways (cable ladder or wire basket) shall be installed and/or utilized in all communication rooms.

Cable trays shall be installed and/or utilized in all communication rooms.

Cables will be independently supported off the ceiling with supports no more than 60 inches apart.

Cable route should avoid fluorescent light ballasts, electrical cables and motors.

Revision G, 2023 Page 8 of 13

CABLE MANAGEMENT (continued)

Cable jackets must not be distorted. Velcro or nylon are acceptable – Velcro is better at protecting cable geometry. Staples will not be used.

Any building penetrations (to include wall, ceiling, or floor), shall be in compliance with National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) regulations and coordinated with CSC’s structural office and fire department.
