A. Section 27 05 00 Common Work Results For Communications

1.3 DESCRIPTION

A. Horizontal cable and its connecting hardware provide the means of transporting signals between the telecommunications outlet/connector and the horizontal cross-connect located in the communications equipment room. This cabling and its connecting hardware are called the "permanent link".

B. The maximum allowable “horizontal link” cable length is 295 feet. This allows for an extra 33 feet for the entire channel length of 328 feet. The 33 feet provides for the maximum length of 16 feet to the workstation equipment, 7 feet or in the horizontal cross-connect, and 10 feet for a service loop in the telecommunications room.

1.4 TOPOLOGY

A. The horizontal cabling shall be installed using a star topology, typically extending from centralized TRs to individual TOs (drop-sets) in work areas (WAs).

B. The cabling system shall provide (A MINIMUM OF TWO) cabling runs to the drop-set in each office/workspace. All runs will terminate in designated TRs. No run shall exceed 90 m (295 ft), as measured from the cable termination point at each end. An additional 10 m (33 ft) is allowed for cordage at both ends, for a maximum allowable end-to-end or channel length of 100 m (328 ft).

C. HORIZONTAL CABLES

Bid Set Page 2 of 11

1. All horizontal copper cabling being used as voice, data, and/or analog signals shall be CAT-6A rated.

2. The 4-pair balanced twisted-pair cables shall be available in Bonded pair and non- Bonded pair configurations. The characteristics listed below shall apply to both configurations.

3. The cables will be available in plenum (CMP), non-plenum (CMR), low smoke zero halogen (LSOH/LSZH), and limited combustible (LC) versions. The minimum recommended installation temperature shall be 5 °C (40 °F). The temperature rating shall be 60 °C (140 °F).

4. The cable conductors shall be 23 AWG solid copper.

5. The effective cable OD shall be 5.45 mm (0.215 in) for CMR-rated cable and 5.33 mm

(0.21 in) for CMP-rated cable. The effective cable OD is the diameter of a six-around-one cable bundle divided by 3.

6. The minimum bend radius shall be 25 mm (1 in) for CMR-rated cable and CMP-rated cable.

7. The guaranteed values for the primary transmission characteristics of the cable are as follows:

a. Maximum DC resistance (at 20 °C) 9.38 ohms/100 m (328 ft)

b. Maximum DC resistance unbalance 5 %

c. Maximum mutual capacitance 5.6 nF/100 m (328 ft)

d. Maximum capacitance unbalance

(pair to ground) 330 pF/100 m (328 ft)

e. Maximum propagation delay skew 25 ns/100 m (328 ft)

f. NVP – plenum 72% @ 10 MHz

g. NVP – non-plenum 68% @ 10 MHz

DC = Direct current NVP = Nominal velocity of propagation

D. HORIZONTAL CABLE INSTALLATION

1. Horizontal cables shall be installed in accordance with standards-based recommendations, the manufacturer’s recommendations/installation guides, and industry best practices.

2. All horizontal cabling will be installed in 1” EMT conduit from the wall outlet 1900 style back box, vertically up into the plenum, and stubbed into the basket tray. All 1” conduits that are stubbed into the basket tray shall have a nylon bushing installed at the end of the conduit.

3. A plastic or nylon pull cord with a minimum test rating of 90 kg (200 lb) shall be co-installed with the cable in any conduit.

4. Cable raceways shall not be filled greater than the TIA/EIA-569-B recommended maximum fill for the particular raceway type, or 40%.

5. Cables shall be installed in continuous lengths from origin to destination. An exception is made for one CP in any cabling run.

6. Where cables are installed in an air return plenum, any non-plenum cable shall be installed in metallic conduit.

7. If CPs are used, they shall be placed in accessible locations and housed in enclosures intended and suitable for that purpose.

Bid Set Page 3 of 11

8. If a J-hook or trapeze system is used to support cable bundles, all horizontal cables shall be supported at every 1.2 m to 1.5 m (48 in to 60 in) intervals. It is recommended that the support surface is rounded without any sharp edges and at least 2 inches wide. At no point shall cable(s) rest on acoustic ceiling grids or panels.

9. Horizontal cables shall be bundled in groups of no more than 50 cables. Cable bundle quantities in excess of 50 cables may cause deformation of the bottom cables within the bundles, which will degrade the performance of those cables.

10. Cable shall be installed above fire-sprinkler systems and shall not be attached to such systems or any associated ancillary equipment or hardware. The cabling system and its associated pathways shall be installed so that they do not obscure any valves, fire alarm conduit(s), boxes, or other control devices.

11. Cables shall not be attached to ceiling grid or lighting fixture wires. Where support for horizontal cable is required, the Vendor shall install appropriate carriers to support the cabling.

12. Any cable damaged or exceeding recommended installation parameters during installation shall be replaced by the Vendor prior to final acceptance at no cost to the owner of the Belden IBDN 10GX System.

13. Cables shall be identified by a self-adhesive label in accordance with Section 27 05 53 of this document and TIA/EIA-606-A. The cable label shall be applied to the cable behind the faceplate, on a section of cable that can be accessed by removing the cover plate.

14. Balanced twisted-pair cable shall be installed so that there are no bends smaller than 4 times the OD of the cable at any point in the run or at the termination points.

15. The pulling tension on any 4-pair balanced twisted-pair cable shall not exceed 110 N (25 lbf).

a. All balanced twisted-pair cable links shall be tested for basic continuity and length, as indicated below. Additional testing shall be performed to verify compliance with Category 6A performance for the parameters listed in Section 27 10 11.01.B of this document. The extent of testing shall be in accordance with the end-customer's testing requirements. Belden recommends 100% testing of permanent links for Insertion Loss, Return Loss, NEXT, PSNEXT and PSACRF. These tests are performed at the same time as the Continuity test using an automated tester, such as the Fluke DTX1800.

b. Continuity – Each pair in every installed cabling run shall be tested using a test set that detects and identifies opens, shorts, polarity and pair reversals, crossed pairs, and split pairs. The results shall be recorded as Pass/Fail (as indicated by the test set) and referenced to the appropriate cable identification number and circuit/pair number. Any fault shall be corrected and the run re-tested prior to final acceptance.

c. Length – Every installed cabling run shall be tested for installed length using a time domain reflectometer (TDR) device. The cable length shall not exceed 90 m (295 ft). The cable length shall be recorded, referencing the cable identification number and circuit/pair number.

d. Category 6A performance testing shall be done according to the published standards.

e. Test each outlet according to TIA/EIA-568-C.2

f. Wire map

3. Final Verification Tests: Perform verification tests for UTP systems after the complete communications cabling and workstation outlet/connectors are installed.

D. Document data for each measurement. Data for submittals shall be printed in a summary report that is formatted similar to Table 10.1 in BICSI TDMM, or transferred from the instrument to the computer, saved as text files, and printed and submitted.

E. End-to-end cabling will be considered defective if it does not pass tests and inspections.

1. Prepare test and inspection reports.

3.4 DEMONSTRATION

A. Train Contracting Officer Representative maintenance personnel in cable-plant management operations, including changing signal pathways for different workstations, rerouting signals in failed cables, and keeping records of cabling assignments and revisions when extending wiring to establish new workstation outlets. Include training in cabling administration software.
