Whenever new construction or remodeling takes place, the design, installation and all related costs necessary to extend the conduit and maintenance hole system to the new location shall be included in the project in accordance with UFC 3-580-01. Multiple service entrance locations will be required for all facilities housing command and control systems to provide redundant, survivable service.

Stub up 2 each, 4” lateral conduits 6” above finished floor level in the corner of the CER, adjacent, and to the left of the telephone punch down board, continuous from the nearest Handhole/Maintenance hole.

Provide one lateral (entrance) conduit with four each fully populated MaxCell from CER to the interconnect maintenance hole location within the existing backbone conduit system for fiber optic cable connection and for future requirements.

Provide 36" minimum cover for all conduit duct banks and 36" minimum cover for laterals measured to top of conduit. All termination of cable connections in the maintenance hole and any necessary cross-connection in the CER will be performed to 509CS guidance.

When determined necessary to simplify installations, conduit will be curved to provide gentle sweeps, with a minimum radius of 40 feet, for a total bending radius not to exceed 180 degrees between maintenance holes, hand holes or pull locations.

All conduits shall be sloped toward each opposing maintenance hole at a slope of not less than 1% grade to promote drainage of any accumulated liquids.

2.4.2 Power and Communications Cable Separation

IAW T.O. 3l-W-3-10-12, power and communications cables will be separated by 12 inches (30.48cm) of well tamped, fine earth protection. The cable at the top of the crossing, whether power or communications cable, will receive the same additional protection (see item 8 below). Gas and water mains will be separated and protected by 3” of concrete or 12” of fine earth. In addition, if the cable crosses over the main, extend additional cable protection 3 feet from each side of the crossing. Where highway, railroad and runway crossings occur, cable at such crossings must be placed in underground metallic conduit. PVC conduit may be direct buried if 24" of cover is provided. If steel pipe conduit is used, boring procedures will be followed that ensures protection of existing resources. Where PVC conduits are installed, a metallic #10AWG copper tracer wire will be installed within the conduit or 6”

Page | 10 above the duct bank to assist in future location efforts, with bonding to occur inside each maintenance hole and at CER grounding frame.

2.4.3 Maintenance holes

A maintenance hole with a minimum of two four inch conduit/duct bank lateral system with tracer and pull rope will be used for required cables plus 100 percent spare ducts (not less than 1 spare) for expansion and maintenance in all primary duct banks.

Maintenance holes shall be installed for all connections to the existing cable plant as required to maintain a maximum maintenance hole spacing of 350 to no more than 500 feet depending on the installation variables. Additional maintenance holes may be required to provide adequate control of connection and distribution of the cable plant. See attached detail sheet (Figure 4) for specific maintenance hole construction criteria. Duct(s) should enter maintenance hole as close as possible to the wall.

All maintenance holes shall be designed and constructed to meet the requirements of T.O. 31-W-3-10 22, and provide a clear floor space of 8’x10’ measured inside the maintenance hole. An alternate size of 6’x8’ may be approved only when no primary backbone cable passes through the maintenance hole (lateral or dead end service only). All maintenance holes shall provide a clear height of not less than 7'- 0". Mandatory items include grounding bus bar and rod and related conductors and wiring, a ladder or steps, cable rack supports, a 50 Cubic Foot sump (French drain), pull in irons, frame and a maintenance hole cover cast with the word “COMMUNICATIONS” exposed to the surface. Conduits shall enter the MH’s 4 to 5 feet from floor on the end and be perpendicular to the wall in approximate location as shown on attached sketch (Figure MH number identifier shall be stenciled on the inner rim of the entrance hatch and permanently stamped on the cover. MH numbers may be obtained by contacting the leased communications office at 660-687-1515. Maintenance hole and hand hole lids will be equipped with intimidator bolt locks.

2.4.4 Hand Holes

Hand holes (HHs) are smaller than maintenance holes (MHs), but the covers provide full access to the entire space inside the hole. HHs are manufactured as precast concrete, polyethylene, or composite structures. Only precast concrete can be placed in road ways. They can be placed in the same areas that MHs are placed in. When planned for traffic areas, they must be traffic rated. When HHs are used in an underground installation, they are used as pull-through points. HHs shall not be used as splice points.

However, HHs are being used in direct-buried installations for:

• Optical fiber slack storage

• Optical fiber splices

• CATV splices

• CATV taps

HHs should:

• Facilitate cable placement.

• Have drainage provisions (e.g., drain holes, open bottom, sump-hole).

• Aid cable pulling when the bends exceed either two 90 degree bends or a total of 180 degrees, or the conduit section is so long it must be pulled in two segments.

Where deficiencies of any type are discovered upon testing, the installation contractor will make all necessary repairs, including replacement if necessary, at no cost to the government.

Page | 14

3.1 Periodic/Final Inspections

During construction, in-progress inspections by 509 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 with installation requirements and accuracy of "red line" base cable record or contract drawings. The installation activity/contractor is solely responsible for requesting in progress inspections before backfill, installation of Sheetrock, during cable certifications, etc. 509 CS inspection personnel require a minimum of 24 hour notice prior to inspection time.

3.2 Testing

All installed cable (fiber and copper) will be tested by the installer in the presence of 509 CS personnel, and baseline test records provided to the CSO in printed and digital format. All UTP cable will be tested and certified to 1000 Mbps (100 MHz) to ensure it is usable at higher data transmission speeds. UL testing standard for new cable, including fiber optic testing of single-mode and multi-mode cable will be followed. No facility shall be accepted prior to receiving adequate and passing test results are provided to 509 CS.

3.3 Documentation

Revised drawings which reflect the actual “AS BUILT” conditions will be maintained throughout the construction phases and a copy will be submitted to the 509 CS with the cable certification records upon completion of the work, but prior to final acceptance of the work, to allow representatives of the 509 CS to perform a final review of drawings and inspect installations.

3.3.1 Computer System Installation Records (CSIR)

Geospatial deliverables are the primary means of updating outside plant (OSP) records. For inside plant, design drawings, which will form the basis of "as built" cable records, will be provided to the 509 CS upon final project acceptance. The drawings will show cross-connect and termination points for each cable pair, locations and identification number for each modular outlet and the location and value of each line amplifier and multi-port device throughout the cable system. Cable routing will be shown. Five copies of these drawings will be updated to final "as built" conditions by the construction contractor and turned over to the CSO, along with one electronic copy of as built drawings prepared in the most current version of AutoCAD, prior to the time of facility turn-over or acceptance. Optimally, 509 CS/SCX personnel will be provided SHAPE files of all cable, duct, and container (MH, HH, Ped) GeoReferenced to sub-meter accuracy. Cable segment attribution data should be provided in the format of the below sample worksheet.

4.0 TEMPEST/EMP AND CLASSIFIED CABLING CONSIDERATIONS

Classified requirements may vary and will be taken on a case-by-case basis. Customer units must identify classified message traffic or telephone requirements, and coordinate all requirements with the 509 CS Plans and Wing Cyber Surety Office to ensure proper compliance measures are attained.
