Dedicated circuits shall be 110 volt, 20-ampere standard three-prong circuits with true earth ground terminated into orange or other uniquely marked (“computer use only”) duplex outlets. Dedicated electrical circuits are also required for the telephone systems. The main electrical panel for the computer/voice (if computer/voice is available) equipment will be properly grounded to meet EIA/TIA and FIPS standards.

B. General Office Space Circuits. Provide dedicated electrical circuits with multiple outlets at designated locations throughout the service center with multiple outlets to accommodate the peripheral equipment (i.e. computer workstations, printers).

C. Electrical Requirements for Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Circuit. Critical servers are required to be connected to the UPS.

1. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Dedicated Circuits are required for the Uninterruptible

Power Supply (UPS).

2. Number and Type of Circuits. Two 120 volt, 30 amp minimum circuits with true ground, terminated into a twisting-lock receptacle are required. Each dedicated circuit must have insulated, isolated earth ground (conduit ground is not acceptable).

3. Receptacle. The receptacle shall be a NEMA L5-30R twist-locking receptacle.

4. Location of the UPS receptacle. The UPS receptacle shall be located in the ADP room where the LWV cabinet is located. The receptacle shall be located no further than 4.5 feet from where the back of the USDA wiring cabinet will be.

III. TELEPHONE SYSTEM

A. Backboard. A 4 ft. x 8 ft. sheet of plywood shall be vertically mounted on the wall in the ADP

Room. Plywood thickness shall be nominal ¾”, as well as painted with fire retardant paint. A replacement material, that exceeds or meets the structural equivalent of plywood, that is also fire retardant, or treated to be, can be used as long as the thickness (11/16” through 1”) is able to support equipment to be mounted on the surface. The backboard shall be within 3 feet of an electrical outlet and the wiring cabinet. The backboard should be attached to the wall using correct mounting hardware and procedures. If the wall is sheet-rocked, the backboard shall be attached to the studs. If the wall is concrete, the backboard shall be attached using anchors.

The backboard shall be painted with fire retardant paint the same color as the interior walls of the building. This will be the extended demarcation point and for the installation of phone equipment.

B. DMARC. A telephone demarcation point (DMARC) shall be provided on a type 66S block on the backboard for all telephone lines prior to the move date. The telephone demarcation shall be inside the building. The telephone system will be moved to new locations and installed by USDA technicians during move-in.

IV. DATA CABLING/TELECOMMUNICATIONS

A. General Specifications. All cabling will meet local building codes. All premise data/telecommunications cabling will comply with TIA/EIA-568-B. All new installations will use Category 6 cabling, as specified in TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1, or higher. Renovations to buildings which currently comply with TIA/EIA-568-A and contain Category 5 cable and terminations may continue to use Category 5 wiring and terminations as specified in TIA/EIA-568-A. (Note:

Category 5 wiring is unsuitable for Ethernet speeds above 100 Mb/sec.)

B. Distribution Points. Facilities requiring multiple distribution points within the building or on multiple floors will comply with ANSI/TIA/EIA-569-B.
