Wright‐Patterson Air Force Base Installation Facilities Standards (IFS)

G11. APPENDIX �Telecommunications

G11.1. Utilities

G11.1.1. Utilities Components

(1) Telecommunications covers any transmission, emission, or reception of signs, signals, writings, images, and sounds, or information of any nature by wire, radio, visual, optical or other electromagnetic systems.

(2) Cabling not only applies to only the cables themselves, but also includes a combination of all cables, wire, cords and connecting hardware.

(3) Wiring installations should be in accordance with the latest editions of government and industry codes and standards.

(4) The Architect/Engineer (A/E) shall coordinate all designs supporting communications and information system requirements with the Base Civil Engineering, the using agency, and the Base Communications Systems Officer.

(5) Telecommunications design must be performed and stamped by a Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD) for all projects. Before the RCDD stamps the design, it must be coordinated with and approved by the 88 CS Project Manager and Lead Engineer.

(6) A detailed work plan and design for all communications work to be done shall be included by at least the 65% design review.

Note: Communication designs for ICD type facilities with Multiple Secure Networks (MSN) will need the network requirements to be defined to a 95% level for approval by the appropriate Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for facility certification at the 35% submittal. Frequently, the AHJ does not reside within the user�s organization and requires additional time for coordination and approval. Failure to achieve this upfront can lead to time consuming coordination resulting in the delay of the final design.

(7) Project Acceptance Documentation contains a listing of expected drawings within the package.

(8) Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Building Automation Systems (BMS) IP request cannot be fulfilled unless the actual physical and/or electrical (network) path exist (is in place). The cable (copper and/or fiber) must not only be in place, but tested, test results provided, accepted by the Comm Squadron and have permission to use if the facility has not yet been turned over to the government for occupation.

G11.1.2. Outside Plant Copper Cable Splicing

(1) Copper conductor splicing method: Reference 3M MS2 Modular Splicing System Practice 78‐8130‐4094‐2‐A

G11.1.3. Splice Cases

(1) Preformed stainless steel cases shall be installed on all completed splices in accordance with the manufacturers recommended installation procedures.

(2) Each splice case shall be pressure tested to ensure water/moisture tight seal.

(3) All splice cases and cables shall be racked and secured to manhole wall mounted cable racks and hooks in accordance with approved technical standards.

G11. APPENDIX �Telecommunications 2

G11.1.4. Fiber‐Optic Backbone Cables

(1) Between CERs both single and multi‐mode fiber optic cables shall be installed to connect the network switching equipment.

(2) This cable shall be a minimum 18/12 single/multi‐mode cable, with last six single mode fibers terminated with Angle Polished Connectors (APC).

(3) In the event that a facility deploy 50 μm OM4 fiber cabling the requirement for Single‐mode may be dropped upon approval.

(4) The single‐mode cable will be 8.3/125 and the multimode cable will be 62.5 μm buffered fiber. In some cases laser enhanced 50 μm OM4 Multimode cable will be used.

(5) In‐ground fiber optic cables shall be installed in MaxCell or inner duct and have a minimum of 50‐foot maintenance loops every third manhole and a 30 foot maintenance loop at each termination point.

(6) A minimum 12 strand single‐mode fiber cable shall be installed from any new facility or facility that doesn�t currently have fiber optic cable, to the designated Information Transfer Building (ITB). Two strands shall be terminated using Angle Polished Connectors (APC), in larger facilities 24 strands shall be installed with six strand terminated with APC connectors.

(7) If the new/renovated facility will be designated a critical facility, then an additional minimum 12 strand single‐mode fiber cable shall be run in diverse path from the new facility to two different ITBs.

(8) Larger or composite fibers may be called for in some facilities, the 88 CS Project Manager and 88 CS Cable Engineer will identify any special requirements.

G11.1.5. Fiber‐Optic Connectors

(1) All inter‐building (building‐to‐building) and intra‐building (within building) backbone fiber‐optic strands shall be terminated using LC‐type anaerobic, Unicam, or fusion spliced fiber optic connectors with ceramic tip and connected to fiber optic distribution panels (FODP).

G11.1.6. Fiber Splicing

(1) The fusion splicing method shall be used for all fiber splicing.

(2) Re‐enterable splice cases shall be used to allow for future splicing.

(3) Fiber cable shall only be fusion spliced at a location where smaller fibers are broken off of a larger fiber to feed multiple locations, or at the termination end when factory terminated stub cables are used.

(4) Fiber splicing will not be allowed just to extend a cable instead of running new from main splice point to end or end to end. An exception to this needs to be coordinated with the 88 CS PM and will only be considered when the cable length is over 1000 feet or when some other compelling reason is given and approved.

(5) Splicing cause�s loss in the cable so is only used when absolutely necessary.

G11.2. Facilities Interiors

G11.2.1. Communications Inside Plant (ISP) Cable

G11.2.2. Cabling cause and effect

G11.2.2.1. In the event that the A/E design requires existing communications to be re‐located it will be included in the scope of work regardless of where the end point is and a new replacement segment must be included in the project

G11.2.2.2. There will be no Abandoned in Place (AIP) cabling left behind inside or outside of the original scope of work. If the local terminal is being removed then it must be removed to the distant terminal and/or OSP splice case regardless of destination and is considered within scope of the contract.

G11. APPENDIX �Telecommunications 3

G11.2.2.3. Communications network cabling for a Collaborative Works Space (CWS) (for Office Hoteling) environment creates some unique issues in establishing network connectivity, especially if the LAN drop face plate is not located within the furniture module itself. These types of office furniture configurations are normally fed by either floor and/or ceiling mounted faceplate configurations that require the extensive use of uncommonly long device cabling. These cables need to be installed into the furniture that may require some partial disassembly of recently installed furniture. This has lead us to compile the following additional design/installation requirements for CWS furniture configurations.

Design considerations

(1) It is imperative that the Designer of Record work with the Furniture Designer and Comm Designer to locate these LAN Drop/network access point as close to the center of these configurations as possible. This may/will impact the length of cabling from the local communications equipment room to the faceplate.

(2) The use of ceiling mounted zone boxes or similar device may be considered, as one possible solution, with the approval of base communications. Should this be considered, every effort must be made to ensure the placement of these devices are in designated permanent hallways/pathways or some position where access is not restricted in any manner; i.e., directly over furniture or other obstacles that does not allow direct access.

Installation

(1) If the LAN drop/network access point will not be located within the actual furniture, then the network device cable establishing this connectivity must be installed at the same time of its installation, tested (channel vs link) and labeled according to the standards.

(2) It will be the responsibility of Furniture and Communications Designers along with the Furniture and Cable installation contractor, to determine the length of these device cables and their installation.

G11.2.2.4. Installation/assignment of Analog phone lines for Elevator certification, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Building Automation Systems (BAS), as well as the request for Fire Alarms (FA) connectivity all require that certain aspects of the designed communications build out be completed prior to the request being made for said services. The following guidelines will be followed.

(1) Elevator Phones tend to be the first followed immediately by IDS and FA connectivity;

however, there is a catch. In order for these to be installed/assigned it will be necessary for the copper OSP to be installed, and accepted for use by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) and the 88 CS.

In order for these to be put into service or IP addresses provided, a 30 day notice is required and the Building Entrance Terminal (BET., G11.2.8 must be completed to include G11.2.7).

In order to request IDS IP, the customer must have submitted a 3215 and have 88 SFS approval before the 88 CS will release the IP upon request of the 88 SFS.

(2) IP addressing for BAS systems, i.e., 88 CES (ICS, Public or Private). In this case we provide the CE PM with the corresponding VLAN and the 88 CES assigns IP addressing within the assigned VLAN. In order for the 88 CS to provide network connectivity the OPS fiber must be completed (para G11.1.4) and active network switching equipment is installed onto the base network, reference G11.1.1(8)

G11.2.2.5. It will be necessary for the Contracting Officer, the General Contractor, and others as necessary to come to an agreement for partial occupancy of building Communications Equipment Rooms before the government actually formally accepts the building for user occupancy in order to meet facility turn over requirements.

G11. APPENDIX �Telecommunications 4

G11.2.3. Communications Equipment Room (CER) Sizing

(1) The presence of multiple networks (non‐secure and secure) within a single CER could require additional rack and/or cabinet space; increasing its overall size as well as the power and cooling requirements

(2) Recommended minimum size is 10�X12�6� to allow for maximum use of space within the CER unless a waiver is granted by the 88 CS.

(3) The CER shall be its own entity, readily accessible to maintenance personnel and not co‐located within or have to be accessed through mechanical or electrical rooms.

(4) Non‐communications hardware or equipment panels (e.g. electrical/lighting control system, PACS, CATV, fire alarm panels, or other facility control systems, security system equipment etc.) shall not be located in the CER. If other building systems are placed with a CER; on the walls or in the racks in a CER, then the minimum size of the CER needs to be increased to allow for proper clearances, and requires pre‐ coordination with and approval of the 88 CS.

G11.2.4. Communications Equipment Room (CER) Power Requirements

(1) Small CERs (less than 90 users) standard dedicated 20 amp outlets should be sufficient. In CERs with more than 90 users use two L6‐20, and two L6‐30 outlets. Requirements will be refined during the design as user requirements are finalized with their 88 CS Project Manager and Lead Engineer.

(2) Power outlet placement on the back of a relay rack/cabinet shall not interfere with the placement of hardware within the mounting rail space.

G11.2.5. Lighting

(1) Lighting fixtures should not be powered from the same electrical distribution panel as the telecommunications equipment in the main terminal space. Dimmer or Occupancy switches will not be used.

G11.2.6. CER Environmental Requirements

(1) CERs need to be kept below 80 degrees and have sufficient air flow to prevent heat build‐ups to assist in air flow, HVAC supply and HVAC returns shall be on opposing walls with supply to the front of the racks and/or cabinets.

(2) If a remote telephone switch is located in the CER, the room temperature must not exceed 75 degrees.

(3) Ceiling mounted systems are not authorized for use, unless the CER is increased in size to facilitate full unrestricted access without the movement of floor mounted racks and/or cabinets. The preferred solution is either wall (mounted 7� AFF). A floor mounted system can be used; however, like the ceiling mounted system the CER size must be adjusted accordingly to allow the same unrestricted access for PMIs and fix/repair actions.

G11.2.7. Telecommunications Bonding and Grounding Systems

(1) Communications grounding will be in accordance with the latest edition TIA standards.

(2) Each ground bar and grounding and bonding conductor shall be labeled per the current TIA 606. Individual labels shall be located on conductors as close as practicable to their point of termination in a readable position. Labels shall be nonmetallic, plastic or plastic coated so they don�t deteriorate and become illegible over time (cannot be handwritten), and include the information in (figure 1).

(3) Telecommunications grounding must be a dedicated run back to the building master ground and will not support additional electrical grounding of any type (i.e. utilities, ICD). If bare copper is used they cannot be in direct contact (i.e. zip tied) with other building grounding systems.

(4) Telecommunications grounding testing must be witnessed by and accepted by the 88 CES Electrical Shop and 88 CS Quality Assurance. This must be completed prior to its connectivity to any other systems, i.e., cable tray, rack/cabinets, or the Building Entrance Terminal in the following paragraph.

G11. APPENDIX �Telecommunications 5

Figure 1

G11.2.8. Building Entrance Terminals (BET) (Copper)

(1) Provide gas protector modules in the Building Entrance CER to protect the inside plant wiring and equipment from voltage surges.

(2) The standard is Circa, 1880ECM1‐100 (100 pair � indoor BET ‐ MS2/110 ‐ cover & splice chamber).

(3) Where the length of the outside plant cable from the point it enters the building to the BET is greater than 15 meters (50 feet), install the outside plant cable in metal conduit and grounded per standards.

(4) Terminate twisted‐pair outside plant copper cable on BETs at the point where it enters the building.

(5) The BET must be, grounded, tested and accepted by the 88 CS QA shop and approval of the CO before any service can be connected.

G11.2.9. Copper Riser Cables

(1) With the deployment of VoIP the riser cable to a satellite CERs shall be no smaller than 25 pair.

(2) This will be influenced by CER backbone connectivity as well for example, it could be a 100 pair cable going to a secondary CER say on the second floor that then in turn connects two additional CERs on the same floor; each of them would then get a 25 pair cable.

(3) Riser copper cabling shall be terminated on appropriate category 110 type wall mounted blocks, with space left for expansion.

G11.2.10. Conduit

(1) All new buildings will have a minimum of two 4‐inch conduits run from the main CER to the communications manhole duct system.

(2) One of the two 4‐inch conduits shall have 3‐3‐Cell MaxCell® Edge fabric innerduct installed in it.

(3) For large buildings additional conduits may be required based on cable requirements.

(4) All new or renovation construction will have a minimum of two 4‐inch conduits run from the main CER to secondary CERs on the same floor.

(5) EIA hole pattern front and rear

(6) Open channels top and bottom for routing cabling

(7) 45 or 54‐rack units, front and back

G11.3.1.7. Adequate vertical and horizontal cable management panels shall be called out and installed in all racks that have patch panels to provide a neat and properly supported installation of patch cords.

Use of horizontal panels may be waived in coordination with and approval by the 88 CS Project Manager and Lead Engineer based upon drop density and proper vertical management capabilities.

G11.3.2. Voice Patch Panel

(1) Use a CommScope (Systimax) 50 port patch panel (1711214‐3) located in the top of the dominant LAN drop rack in conjunction of a 50 pair switchboard cable paired with an appropriate 110 block.

G11.3.3. Cable Pathways and Accessibility

(1) Cable trays shall not be placed more than 30� above a false ceiling, free from obstacles that restrict access for installing and troubleshooting cables.

(2) A minimum of (12�) access headroom shall be provided and maintained above the cable tray and other building components (e.g. air conditioning ducts, pipes, other cable trays, ceiling, etc.) and they will not restrict access.

(3) Designers and Contractors leads must coordinate with other trade disciplines to ensure clearances can be achieved and maintained.

(4) The cable trays within a CER shall be installed at least 12� above the racks. Sufficient sizing of pathways shall be installed to allow for at least 40% expansion once all planned cabling is installed.

(5) Do not place communications pathways next to the wall in the hallway and then have other trade disciplines install Fire suppression, hot/chilled water lines, air ducts or additional electrical conduits at the same level extending out into the hallway. There should be unrestricted access every 12‐14� and where outlet conduits meet up with the cable tray.

G11.3.4. Voice/Data and Wireless Cabling

(1) A minimum of two TIA, ANSI/ICEA approved Category 6A (dual) network connections (DNC) are required for the typical WPAFB MAN (NIPRNet and VoIP) end user.

(2) Some customer requirements may call for more than two, or even four (Quad Network Connections (QNC)).

(3) In cases where the customers have access to multiple unclassified networks additional drops will be required. QNCs are recommended for AFRL facilities.

(4) Wireless network equipment should be considered for all conference rooms, classrooms, auditoriums, etc.

and when required by customer.

(5) Usual configuration is three‐four wireless devices to cover a room or room‐sized area.

(6) Per Air Force standards all wireless access points with be wired with a Category 6A DNC.

NOTES:

1 � Copper cable for Voice within a Secure area is determined upon customer requirements and could be either UTC or STP based upon the AHJ and Security requirements for TEMPEST 2 � Non-Keyed color coded (reference para C07) for Multiple Secure Networks 3 � User device NICs are expected to be LC for NIPRNet, ST for SIPRNet, and SC for JWICS;

however, the AHJ and actual end used may change these.

4 � Color of FODP adapters panel colors may vary with vendor.

5 � Standard sheath color will be used unless directed by customers AHJ for Security requirements.

G11.3.5. Secure Vaults, CERs, and Work Areas

(1) Where conduit is not installed within the wall to meet IDC‐705 requirements use a surface mounted delivery system that is more aesthetically appealing than galvanized conduits such as the Panduit TG‐70 surface raceway system or equivalent.

(2) The use of copper voice lines (UTP or STP) will be coordinated with the AHJ and end user to determine if they are necessary and in what form they want installed to meet their security/mission requirements.

G11.3.6. Areas with Multiple Secure Networks (MSN)

(1) An MSN (more than 5 networks) will use 50/125 μm OM4 Multimode normal (non‐keyed) LC jack system based upon a color coded network classification system with the approval of the AHJ for room certification.

(2) The actual fiber jacket would not necessarily be color coded to match corresponding colored jack dependent upon the type of fiber used (ZIP cord vs paired) and may not necessarily go back to a dedicated (color coded) FODP and/or patch panel.

(3) This would have to be pre‐approved by the AHJ over the Secure Areas certification/accreditation to operate the facility and the actual users Security granting network access.

G11.3.7. Labeling

(1) Cables/Outlets: 88th CS Labeling Requirements for Communications for details on all communications labeling.

(2) 88 CS should be provided with a map/drawing of installed cabling with its assigned numbering and a cross‐ reference spreadsheet indicating cubicle number and associated voice/data cable numbers.

(3) Spreadsheet should be in Excel format or equivalent.

G11.3.8. Cable Testing

(1) All inside/outside plant backbone cabling shall be tested pre and post installation.

(2) A hard and soft copy of all test results will be provided to the 88 CS PM and/or Lead Engineer in order for them to accept the installation and to perform final QA acceptance on all cable installations (copper and fiber).

G11.3.9. Outside Plant Copper Cable Testing

C09. Cable Testing

(1) All inside/outside plant backbone cabling shall be tested pre and post installation.

G11. APPENDIX �Telecommunications 9

(2) Provide/make arrangements for qualified government personnel to assist/observe the Cable Installers during the installation and testing phases of this project to ensure the quality of the installation meets the customer�s operational requirements.

(3) A hard and soft copy of all test results will be provided to the 88 CS PM and/or Lead Engineer in order for them to accept the installation and to perform final QA acceptance on all cable installations (copper and fiber).

G11.3.10. Fiber Optic Cable Testing

(1) Both Tier 1 and Tier 3 testing will be performed for all fiber‐optic cables in accordance with the latest TIA standards.

G11.3.11. Network Copper Cable Test

(1) The network copper cable plant must pass the latest TIA approved category channel testing test to include the device cable, wall plate connection, horizontal run, to patch panel, and patch cable.

G11.4. Labeling Requirements

G11.4.1. General:

G11.4.8.1. Introduction. This section provides guidance on labeling of communications cabling, racks, and connections. All new installations and upgrades to communications equipment/systems will label cables, racks, and equipment per this document. Any questions on this document or on labeling communications cables/systems are to be directed to 88 CS/SCX.

G11.4.8.2. General guidance. All labels shall be machine printed or stencils. Hand written labels will not be used. All labels will be securely affixed to racks, equipment, or cables.

G11.4.8.3. Label types. Use the following type self‐laminating cable labels for copper and fiber optic cables used in the backbone (building‐to‐building, between CERs, etc.). All information shall be done on printer labels. They will then be placed on the tag and the self‐laminating flap sealed down on it.

The printing shall be as large as possible for easy readability. Secure the tags to the cables with a tie wrap at each end.

G11.4.6.1. Label the 110 block where the copper cable that feeds the building and the copper riser cables with the pair numbers as shown on the below drawing. Label the 110 blocks that have the latest TIA approved category cables terminated on them to the patch panels for cross connecting the voice circuits with the letter V and the patch jack number, as indicated below:

(1) Label cable tag with the cable type (i.e. CMR/CMP/ABAM) and pair count. Add information for location of the other end of the cable on the second line (CER# and relay rack number if it goes to a rack). A riser rated 50 pair cable going to CER128 RR01 from CER128 would look like the following:

110 Block Relay Rack

CMR‐50PR CMR‐50PR

CER128‐RR01 CER128

G11.4.7. 66M1‐50 (RJ21X) Blocks for special circuits

G11.4.7.1. These blocks shall have covers and the labeling will be annotated on the inside of the cover in the appropriate location. Include all available information, i.e. circuit numbers, type circuit (fire alarm, security alarm, etc.)

G11. APPENDIX �Telecommunications 14

G11.4.8. Multiple Secure Networks (MSN) labeling and testing

G11.4.8.1. The cable identifier and its numbering sequence is based upon its location within the room as well as the strands transport/classification color (reference Detail 1). Standing at the primary entry looking into the room, start on your left and work to the right in a clockwise manner. Should it be an open office with cubical furniture, use the same process, up and down each row of cubes. Using this process, each multi‐stranded (2 strand included), jacketed fiber cable will be individually numbered to align with the deliverable test results per the standard, see following Details. You will notice from the example given below that the cable may not actually flow in a numerical sequence and that is okay, they just identify where the cable is located within the facility.

G11.4.8.2. The drop count works in a similar manner in which copper LAN drops are identified by patch panel and jack. However since we are not using patch panels but FODPs with various adapter panels some adjustment is necessary and may vary depending upon the scope of the project. Fiber LAN drops (aka datalinks) are broken down by color, and the individual strands are grouped together in pairs Tx & Rx (aka Tip/Ring) creating a datalink in the traditional manner as a copper LAN drop using a LC duplex connector. These should flow in a numerical sequence around the room (lower numbers on the left to higher on the right) see Details below.

G11.4.8.3. If there are any questions in regards to these directions, contact the assigned 88 CS/SCOI Design

Engineer for additional guidance/clarification.
