Question 1 -Do you know how many strands of fiber will needed to be terminated at the workstations?

Zero will be terminated at the workstation. All termination will occur at the wall plate, one for one, as well as the 10% growth we’ve identified during the site survey. Patch cables will be used to connect from the wall plate to the workstation.

Question 2 -Is there a BOM (Bill of Materials) that you have already generated?

There is currently no bill of materials.

Question(s) 3a -How many patch cables are required in the COM Room?

82 red patch cables 82 blue patch cables 82 green patch cables

This is the combined amount for both room 226 and 203.

3b -How many NIC Cards are going to be required?

3c -How many SFP Modules are going to be required?

3d -Can you provide us with the Part No of the NIC cards and SFP modules?

Fiber Gigabit Ethernet network Interface Card- PCI Express/N-GXE-SC10-01 SFP: Cisco GLSC-SX-MM

3e -Is the customer thinking about using NIC cards with SFP modules ? (that way in the future only the SFP modules have to be exchanged)

No.

3f -Is it just 2 strands of fiber to each location or does the customer want 4 or 6 as a possible backup and if that's the case how many are supposed to be terminated on the COM Room side?

Our requirement at minimum is a one-for-one swap plus our identified 10% growth. Those are the only strands requiring termination. Adding four or six strands is acceptable for future growth and can be installed (left in place) but does not need to be terminated at this time.

Question(s) 4a -The answers to preliminary questions denote a requirement of 62.5/125 for the fiber, we suggest to go with 50 micron as it is a much better fiber cable. If we propose that, is the customer ok with using 50 instead of 62.5?

Yes, 50 is acceptable.

4b -Please clarify whether or not we are responsible for the fiber patch cords?

Yes for the patch panels. No from the wall to the workstations because 482 CS has identified during the site survey that they will be purchasing those separately to meet our needs.

4c -Please clarify about the NIC cards, we are only to provide them and NOT install them, correct?

Correct

4d -Part number requested

This depends on the proposed solution presented by the vendor. The requirement is to replace all SM fiber with MM fiber. The current NICs in use are NIC-1000BXFX SC SM 220M/550M. The proposed solution can be LC or SC. We do not want ST. The NICs will need to be compatible with the proposed solution as drafted by the vendor.

4e

- Please send the drawing given today at the site visit by Tommie Pearson (Sheet G-052) with all the colored marking of all the drops for SIPR, NIPR, Phone & Empty in PDF format if possible for larger printing.

The drawing(s) are still being finalized by the end user.

4f -Vendor is responsible for the cleanup of old fiber cable & disposal of old fiber, correct?

Correct

4g -Is night work / weekend work possible for scheduling?

Yes
