1) Purpose

The purpose of this Telecommunication Installation Criteria (TIC) handbook is to establish procedures for the installation of communications/cyber equipment/systems on F.E. Warren Air Force Base (AFB), the Missile Complex and Camp Guernsey. The standards referenced in this handbook will be followed by all base agencies and their contractors to plan, design, review, evaluate and install telecommunications cabling and distribution systems. This handbook contains standards for pre wiring/re wiring new, and remodeled facilities. Further, this handbook directly supports UFC 3 580 01 Telecommunications Interior Infrastructure Planning and Design by identifying minimum essential factors to be considered when telecommunications pre wiring/re wiring support is addressed.

2) Technical References The TIC handbook is used to provide design criteria for planning telecommunications cabling and distribution systems. UFC 3 580 01 Telecommunications Interior Infrastructure Planning and Design states pre wiring/re wiring shall be included in all military facility construction projects accomplished with 3300 series funding. The Communications System Officer (CSO) has mandated that all pre wiring/re wiring must comply with UFC 3 580 01 Telecommunications Interior Infrastructure Planning and Design (TB) 95 03 and this TIC handbook. Compliance with this handbook will improve maintenance by establishing a standard for communications systems.

Department of Defense (DoD) publications direct the use of commercial standards whenever they meet DoD needs. The commercial standards referenced in UFC 3 580 01 Telecommunications Interior Infrastructure Planning and Design and TB 95 03 shall be followed in conjunction with the standards outlined in this TIC handbook. References made to TB 95 03 are noted in square brackets.

3) General Scope The 90th Communications Squadron (CS) utilizes this handbook to provide communications standards to the 90th Civil Engineer Squadron (CES), 90th Contracting Squadron (CONS) and Contractors who are writing proposals or implementing design packages on F.E. Warren AFB. The 90 CS Plans and Programs Flight (SCX) coordinates on design packages as requested to look for compliance with standards, forwards comments to the Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR), attends design meetings, and ensures appropriate 90 CS personnel are involved in design reviews.

Where deficiencies of any type are discovered upon testing, the installer will make all corrective actions to bring deficiencies up to compliance with ANSI EIA/TIA cable specific installation standards.

ii) Revised drawings which reflect actual �AS BUILT� conditions will be maintained throughout the construction phases and a final copy will be submitted to the 90 CS with the cable certification records upon completion of the work, but prior to final acceptance of the work. This allows 90 CS to perform final review of drawings and inspect installation.

iii) Installation records will be provided to the 90 CS prior to final project acceptance. The drawings will show Primary and Secondary CERs, rack/cabinet location, cross connect and termination points for each service cable pair/strand, locations and identification number for eachmodular outlet, and the location and value of each line amplifier and multi port device throughout the cable system. Approximate cable routing will also be shown. Common electronic software copies of installation records will be provided.

iv) During construction, in progress inspections by 90 CS personnel are required. For example, trenches will not be covered without an in progress inspection to verify conduit size and quantity, cable type, earth cover compliance, and accuracy of "red line" base cable records or contract drawings. The installation activity/contractor is solely responsible for requesting in progress inspections before backfilling, installation of drywall, after installation of conduit or ladder rack, installation of grounds/racks/cabinets, etc.

v) All installed cable (fiber and copper) will be tested, corrected, and retested by the installer and baseline test records provided to the CSO using common electronic software. All CAT 6 cable will be tested and certified to ANSI/TIA standards. UL testing standard for new cable, including fiber optic testing of single mode and multi mode cable will be accomplished (UL standards for CAT 6 cable are attached at figure 7).

h) Cable Trays

i) Typical cable tray types for cable installation guide include telco type cable ladder racks, center spine cable tray, or wire basket tray. Cable trays will be installed for continuous cable support IAW ANSI/TIA 569 D and ANSI/TIA PN 942 B. All new installations or full rewires of a building will utilize cable tray or conduit. For additions to existing or expansions of building communications wiring where cable trays cannot be utilized, 2� Nylon Straps may be used with a maximum spacing of 4� to not exceed cabling capacity.

i) Sealing Ducts

i) All ducts, vacant or occupied, will be sealed with fire rated material. Sealing is the operation of plugging or closing the ends of the duct run in accordance with 31W3 10 21.

j) Labeling

i) Each cabinet or rack shall be labeled on the front and rear in plain view. Preferred locations for labels are the top and bottom on a permanent part of the cabinet or rack in accordance with ANSI/TIA 606 C (see Figure 10).

ii) Labeling of Patch Panels shall be alphabetic and run consecutively, starting at the top of the rack with the letter �A� for the first patch panel and the letter B for the second and so on. Each patch panel installed in the rack will get a label regardless of usage (Horizontal Cable Organizers, switches, FODP, and UPS are not to be labelled).

iii) All ports on patch panels should already be factory labeled with a port number. Additionally, all positions on termination blocks (if used) shall be labeled with the corresponding port number or position number and optionally with additional identifier fields as practical in accordance with ANSI/TIA 606 C.

iv) To clearly identify cables and their usage, each cable will be marked with a self adhesive strip marker at both ends which will clearly identify their patch panel/port designation. A permanent label to identify all cable and terminations will be affixed to the cable and outlet jack cover to preclude damage/loss due to age or other mechanical means. Handwritten or manually embossed labels are not permitted.

Automated embossed labels will be used, such as Brothers P touch systems utilizing 1/4 inch labels, with 1/8 inch lettering.

v) All duplex outlet cover plates shall be labelled in the top labelling window by CER #/Rack #/Patch Panel letter/Port # (ex. Rm. 132/1/A/1&2) Wiring Identification Standard. All Quad Plex outlet cover plates shall be labelled top and bottom with the top label identifying the top 2 jacks and the bottom label identifying the bottom 2 jacks. If a 6 port outlet cover plate is utilized, the top label will reflect the left 3 jacks and the bottom label will reflect the right 3 jacks.

k) Color Coding identification

i) Color coding of cables, connectors, cords, jumpers, termination fields, labels, pathways, and other components may be used to identify the type, application, function, or position of a component within the infrastructure in accordance with ANSI/TIA 606 C (see Figure 9).
