4. Specific JBER Requirements (The below requirements have precedence over the criteria listed above).

a. Cable Locate Tracing Wire: Where a non-metallic conduit material is used for buried duct, such as PVC or

HDPE, a conductive tracer wire is required to be installed. In the cases of well grouped duct bank systems, such as four ducts in a tight 2x2 configuration, the conductive tracer wire will be installed on the exterior of the duct, approximately centered on the top of the duct bank. In cases where the ducts are spread out over a width greater than four ft., then a tracer wire will be installed on the exterior on each of the extreme outer ducts to enable locators to determine the width of the duct bank corridor. This wire will be an insulated 10AWG copper wire or larger. It will be looped around the duct every 20 feet, and securely taped to the duct every 10 feet. The wire will be extended into the manhole, and routed up the wall and across the ceiling to the manhole neck, so that it is accessible just by opening the manhole cover. In the case of multiple locate wires coming into the manhole, all wires will terminate in the same location in the neck of the manhole. The wires will all be connected together with a common electrical wire nut type connection, and each wire will be labeled as to the direction it leaves the manhole, and the far end point where the wire terminates (manhole, building, etc.) to allow easy identification and attachment of a tone generator to assist in future cable path location efforts. The tracer wire will be tested for continuity and functionality with a locater before acceptance. The contractor shall be responsible for all bonding to occur inside each manhole and at CER grounding frame. The tracer wire requirement applies both to structured manhole/duct systems (it is sufficient to mark a single duct run in the center of an overall bank of ducts) and to direct bury type innerduct (individual HDPE duct in the 2” to 1.5” size range). In cases where the innerduct is plowed in (versus being trenched in) an appropriate manner of installing the tracer wire with the duct will be determined, since taping and wrapping may not be feasible with that installation method.

b. Telephone Termination Backboards: All walls in any CER or riser closet will be covered with 8-foot by 4-foot sheets 3/4- inch A/C grade or better.

c. Cable tray in Telecommunications Rooms: shall be installed around the perimeter of the room.

d. Telecommunications System Cables:

1) Outside Plant Copper: PE 39.

2) Outside Plant Fiber: Single Mode.

3) Inside Plant Horizontal: Cat 6 minimum.

e. Labeling: Individual drop identification will be accomplished by referencing the CER room number that services the faceplate, followed by a contiguous number scheme to uniquely identify the port on the face plate (ie. If the CER room number is 121, then the drops being fed from the room should be identified as 121-1,121-2, 121-3, etc.)

at the wall plate end, and laid down in order on the horizontal patch panels in the CER.
