SECTION 3 – GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

1. JBER Telecommunications Criteria Requirements will be used as the primary design and installation guideline for the unclassified (Niprnet, Voice, etc.) cable plant material and installation efforts. For classified telecommunications systems, follow UFC 3-580-01and other applicable criteria for specific requirements. In case of a discrepancy between various standards and guidelines, the most stringent requirements shall apply (greatest separation from electrical noise sources, largest bend radius, lowest pulling tension, largest communications room size, largest expansion capability, highest drop count in an area, etc) to afford the greatest protection and security to the cable installation and improved life cycle capability of the installed infrastructure. Any specific exceptions must be agreed to by the 673rd Communication Squadron Plans Shop (673CS/SCXP), in writing, on a case-by-case basis. To be considered as part of the deliverables for any project will be a complete equipment labeling effort and as-built documentation package relevant to the communications systems (take into account specific guidelines shared throughout this installation standards document). This will include such items as, but is not limited to, labeling of cables in duct systems, labeling of cable termination points, drawings showing as-built floor plans and rack elevations, and in general, the labeling and documentation of any work done to support the efficient maintenance and usage of the newly renovated or newly installed communications material, such as equipment racks, cables, cable routing diagrams, communications relevant floor plans, cable count break outs for splice plans, geobase survey information for outside cable plant work, etc. All labeling schemes will be routed through 673CS Project Managers for written approval, prior to implementation. The labeling scheme submitted for approval will include a floor plan showing the locations of each relevant label (i.e., the location of a comm. equipment room with room number, the location of each faceplate with its discrete label, comm. room layouts with equipment/rack labels shown per each equipment location, etc.). The labeling scheme and associated documents will be delivered for review no later than the 95% design review timeframe.

2. Information provided by 673CS will generally be provided in an Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format. Any outside cable plant drawings (butterfly drawings, plant in place drawings, etc.) or site layout type drawings are provided for information only. Design agency shall provide a site survey of the accuracy.

3. The JBER Telecommunications Installation Standard is generally developed to apply to end user building installations and how to provide service to them. In the case of infrastructure/utility type projects, or where work is being performed in a communications distribution node location such as an Information Transfer Node (ITN), a Remote Switching Terminal (RST), or Dial Central Office (DCO), additional design elements will apply and more specialized standards and practices will be imposed to meet the specific requirements associated with the large scale distribution of communications services to a given geographic service area on the base. It is suggested that design efforts, especially pre-RFP (Request for Proposal) efforts for communication node locations involve additional interaction with the 673rd Communications Squadron Plans Shop to ensure that a full understanding of the requirement is developed prior to bidding the project.

4. As part of any project in which a contractor is installing government furnished material or government stored material, the contractor will take on full responsibility for the operational capability of said material once it is installed. Although not specifically required, it would be to the contractor’s benefit to perform any appropriate acceptance tests (such as testing cable segments on the reel) to ensure the material is fully functional prior to installation of the material. If the installation does not pass final testing requirements, the contractor will be responsible for repairing/replacing the material and any installation practices necessary to create a fully functional installation. Any material being furnished by the contractor will be of new manufacture (less than six months old), in unused condition, and properly stored in an environment appropriate for the material (protected from UV radiation, extreme temperature swings, condensing moisture/standing water, etc.) unless specifically waivered, in writing, by 673CS/SCX Project Management. Any used/refurbished/old stock material proposed for use will be clearly identified as such as part of the proposal.

5. In cases where the project involves work with existing, operational cables (rerouting sections of cable through new paths, replacing/reinstalling distribution cables to facilities as part of renovation efforts, etc.), the installer/technician will test all the existing cable counts that are part of the project prior to any work taking place. The test results shall be submitted to the Government Point of Contact (POC, defined specifically per each project) for analysis before the work proceeds. After the cable work is completed, the installer/technician shall retest all cable counts affected by the project and return the cable counts to at least the same operational capability and performance level that existed prior to the work taking place.

6. Any project involving the demolition of existing facilities and communications support infrastructure will require that all telecommunications cable plant (copper, fiber optic, coaxial, etc.) be demolished back to the nearest service delivery point, such as a splice case in a maintenance hole. At this location, the distribution cable count (copper pairs, fiber strands, etc.) will be spliced back into the main trunk cable so that the pair count is once again available the full length of the backbone trunk cable. In cases where the distribution count is coming off the end of a backbone cable count, the count will be recovered and prepared for future use, such as terminating with a pluggable, modular type splice for copper counts, or dressing out fiber strands in preparation for fusion splicing, then managing and sealing the counts in an approved splice case assembly. In addition, a minimum 14 day notice will be provided to 673CS/SCXP as to when service is no longer required by any tenants of the building and the 673CS work centers may enter the facility to remove any serviceable communications equipment, prior to the actual demolition of the facility taking place.

7. The organization performing the installation work (contractor, E&I team, etc.) is responsible for preparing the location(s) for any intermediate or final inspection/acceptance testing events. This will include, but is not limited to things like opening maintenance hole lids, providing access ladders where needed, providing temporary lighting where needed, providing any tools necessary to open splice cases or other containers, providing any specialty protective equipment (protective slip-on booties, etc.), meeting ventilation requirements, etc.

8. All labeling (cable ID tags, faceplates, patch panels, etc.) will use a standard, easily readable font such as Arial or Times New Roman in the production of the tags/tapes. Fonts that take on the appearance of a cursive script with varying line widths and/or curving lines in what would generally be a straight-line segment of an alphanumeric character will not be accepted. Labeling of backbone OSP or Riser type cable segments will require labels where the cables enter/exit the main container (maintenance hole, handhole, comm room, etc.) where they enter the termination point for that cable segment (protected entry terminal, splice cases, patch panel housings, etc.) and on each service loop. Labels will be oriented so they can be read from a practical distance and direction related to the container (standing a few feet in front of a telecommunications backboard, looking through a maintenance hole cover, etc.) they are in and without having to uncover them from overlying cables. When new cables are installed near pre-existing cables, they will be installed in a manner that does not obscure existing labels. Label fonts will be large enough to be easily read from at least five feet away.

9. Unless specifically noted otherwise in the Scope of Work, Performance Work Statement, or other similar document associated with a cable installation project making use of existing maintenance hole/duct system, it is expected that the cable installation effort will be responsible for dealing with any environmental issues associated with installing the cable. This includes, but is not limited to, items such as pumping standing water out of maintenance holes, cleaning dirty duct/innerduct, thawing frozen ducts, installing missing pull ropes, or ventilating confined entry workspaces. If it is discovered and demonstrated there is an actual catastrophic duct system failure, such as a crushed or broken duct, the base will be responsible for returning that path to serviceability. Evidence of such duct failure will take into account seasonal conditions such as below grade frost line or frozen water in servicing maintenance hole/handhole locations, hitting an apparent obstruction at approximately the same location when duct rodding from both ends of the duct segment, ability to duct rod an adjacent duct/innerduct, or ability to move a pull rope in an adjacent duct/innerduct. If the project requires duct rodding a duct with an existing, active cable, coordination for this effort prior to the work being accomplished will be required with the 673CS Project Manager. When doing any work to proof or prepare a duct system for the cable installation, only tools specifically designed for this work will be used, such as duct rods of a minimum ½” diameter that are long enough to actually reach from one duct access point to the next access point. When installing new pull strings or pull ropes in an empty duct, the acceptable methods are to either push a duct rod through the duct, then retrieve the pull rope by properly attaching to the end of the duct rod and pulling the duct rod back, or by using a pressurized air fishing system with the proper attachments, such as a Greenlee 591 power fishing system, or equivalent. No homemade or improvised tools will be allowed unless first approved, in writing, by 673CS/SCXP Project Management. When the project calls out for removing an existing cable and replacing with a new cable, often referred to as using the old cable as a pull rope, it is acceptable to use the old cable to pull in an appropriately rated pull rope behind it as it is being removed. The new pull rope will then be used to pull in the new cable sheath.

10. In the case of projects that are of a “turn-key” type nature in which virtually all material and labor necessary to create a fully functional communications infrastructure is to be provided by the installing entity, the project will include a cooperative engineering and project management effort with 673CS/SCXP project management section, in addition to the basic acquisition and installation of the material. This effort will provide, but is not limited to, items like an installation plan and timetable for work at each location or phase of the project, as well as some specific location documentation such as rack elevation drawings or telecommunications backboard layouts showing the placement of new equipment, site plans showing proposed maintenance hole/duct systems, etc.

for approval prior to work proceeding. In addition, a proposed bill of materials will be provided for approval, prior to the acquisition of material for the project. The purpose of this approval is only for approving the type/quality of the material being proposed, not to validate quantities needed for the project.

SECTION 4 – JBER SPECIFIC JBER REQUIREMENTS (Additional to requirements listed in Section 2 – Standards and Code, the below requirements are JBER specific requirements which have a precedence over Section 2 – Standards and Codes).

A. Outside Plant

1. Maintenance holes (MH) and Handholes (HH)

Maximum spacing between maintenance holes is 500 feet. The first maintenance hole from the core node will have the interior dimensions of 12 feet x 8 feet x 7 feet. Maintenance hole for other locations can be 8 feet x 6 feet x 7 feet. The maintenance hole cover shall be 36 inches in diameter.

Neck rings will be labeled with the unique maintenance hole identifier assigned to that location. This labeling will take the form of stenciled alpha-numeric characters, painted with a black paint.

Characters to be approximate three (3) inches tall.

2. Conduit and Duct System

a. Conduit and ducts will be 4” minimum and be buried 40” below the finished grade. 6” sand bedding will be provided on top and bottom of ducts. Ducts installed under paved areas subject to vehicle traffic shall be concrete encased. In the case of the conduit path passing under a high load or high traffic area, such as under a roadbed, or aircraft taxiway or runway, Jack and bore with a steel sleeve in accordance with UFC 3-580-01 is allowed. Minimum formation sizing shall be as follows:

i. Node conduit (from core node to first maintenance hole): 10 – 4” conduit.

ii. Main conduit (A main conduit run includes the MHs and conduits from the first MH away from the node and in locations where the cable routes diverge into multiple directions providing the pathways for large feeder cables: 4 – 4”.

iii. Lateral conduit (Lateral conduit run from the sidewall of an MH to the supporting structures (Buildings, Handholes, cross-net cabinets, pedestals, poles): 2 – 4”.

b. Innerducts

Innerduct will fabric-mesh to facilitate the initial and subsequent placement of multiple cables within a single conduit space. Innerducts will be installed on 50% of total 4” conduit/duct run (i.e.

if conduit/duct bank has 4 – 4”, innerducts will be installed on 2 of 4 – 4”). Innerduct will be 3 – 1 ¼” cells. Each 4” duct will be provided with 3 packs of 3 – 1 ¼” cell innerducts.

c. Cable Locate and Tracing Wire

Where a non-metallic conduit material is used for buried duct, such as PVC or HDPE, a conductive telecommunications room trace wire is required to be installed. In the cases of well grouped duct bank systems, such as four ducts in a tight 2x2 configuration, the conductive telecommunications room trace wire will be installed on the exterior of the duct, approximately centered on the top of the duct bank. In cases where the ducts are spread out over a width greater than four ft., then a telecommunications room wire will be installed on the exterior on each of the extreme outer ducts to enable locators to determine the width of the duct bank corridor. This wire will be an insulated 10AWG copper wire or larger. It will be looped around the duct every 20 feet, and securely taped to the duct every 10 feet. The wire will be extended into the maintenance hole and routed up the wall and across the ceiling to the maintenance hole neck, so that it is accessible just by opening the maintenance hole cover. In the case of multiple locate wires coming into the maintenance hole, all wires will terminate in the same location in the neck of the maintenance hole. The wires will all be connected with a common electrical wire nut type connection, and each wire will be labeled as to the direction it leaves the maintenance hole, and the far end point where the wire terminates (maintenance hole, building, etc.) to allow easy identification and attachment of a tone generator to assist in future cable path location efforts. The telecommunications room wire will be tested for continuity and functionality with a locater before acceptance. The contractor shall be responsible for all bonding to occur inside each maintenance hole and at TELECOMMUNICATIONS ROOM grounding frame.

d. Conduit Routing and Warning Tape

When a conduit/duct run cannot be run in a straight line and still enter a maintenance hole or building perpendicular to the wall, conduits must be curved to provide gentle sweeps with a minimum radius of 25 feet to accomplish any necessary direction changes. The exterior conduit routing path will be such that short sweeps (60” type sweep) are not used to make the conduit entry point perpendicular to the wall at the very end of the run. Total amount of bends in a duct run segment will not exceed 90 degrees between maintenance holes/buildings (to include any sweeps inside a building footprint, such as when a conduit arrives below grade and does not terminate directly into the telecommunication room, but must change direction to reach its ultimate destination in the telecommunications room. In the case where the conduit enters the comm room through the floor, the final vertical sweep up into room will be a minimum 48” radius sweep for a conduit. Any sweeps within the building for a conduit system to support the extension of outside plant through the building will also use be a minimum of 48” radius for 4” conduit. All conduits are required to be sloped downward from the center of the run toward each opposing maintenance hole at a slope of 3 inches per 100 foot run to promote drainage of any accumulated liquids. In the case of the last segment between the building entry point and the servicing maintenance hole, it is acceptable to maintain a continuous slope from the building down to the maintenance hole at a grade of 3 inches per 100 feet to help prevent fluid draining into the building (still taking into account minimum bury depths for the whole length).

e. Outside Plant Cable Requirements:

The location and use of facility shall dictate whether the facility is connected via the copper plant or the fiber optic network, or both. The 673rd Communications Squadron (673CS) Project Manager (PM) shall specify what type and size of cable to use in connecting to the base communications plant, to meet the end user’s requirements.

i. Copper: PE-39. Coordinate with 673CS Project Manager for cable ID and counts requirements.

ii. Fiber Optic Cable: Single mode terminated on LC-UPC connectors. Coordinate with 673CS Project Manager for cable ID and counts requirements. The minimum fiber connectivity will be 12 strands of Single Mode (SM) fiber optic cable.

iii. Fiber Optic Service Loop: Additional to UFC 3-580-01 service loop requirements, 50 foot slack cable will be provided inside a maintenance hole, hand hole, pedestal. and at interior building communications room.

iv. Label and tag: Will be provided for outside plant cables with cable IDs and pair/strand counts a maintenance hole, hand hole, pedestal and interior building communications room. Design Engineer shall coordinate with 673CS Project Manager for cable ID and pair/strand counts prior to completing the project design. Cable ID and pair/strand counts shall be shown on design drawings.

B. Inside Plant

1. Telecommunications rooms:

Telecommunications rooms including sizing and locations shall be provided in accordance with UFC 3-580-01. All walls in any telecommunication room or riser closet will be covered with 8-foot by 4-foot sheets 3/4- inch A/C grade or better. Additional to cable tray above communications racks, cable tray shall be installed around the perimeter of the room.

Static dissipative flooring shall be provided in telecommunications rooms. Grounding for static dissipative floor shall be shown on drawings for visibility and coordination. Since most electrical contractors are not familiar with ANSI/ESD S6.1, a detailed test plan should be submitted by the electrical contractor for review and approval at least 30 days prior to testing.

2. Electrical Support:

Additional to UFC 3-580-01 for convenient power outlet requirements, a telecommunications room shall have a minimum of two dedicated, isolated 120 VAC, 20-amp quad outlets (separate power, neutral, and ground conductors) located on the base of the equipment racks, facing to the rear of the rack, see Facility Wiring Diagram for specific location. For telecommunications rooms that are projected to support more than 100 network devices, four dedicated/isolated 120VAC, 20A circuits, each terminated in a standard 5-20R duplex outlet, as well as two dedicated/isolated 208/240 VAC, 30 A circuits, each terminated with an L6-30R socket will be required to support the primary equipment rack.

3. Equipment Racks:

A minimum of two 19-inch x 84-inch equipment racks shall be installed in a telecommunications room. Configuration of equipment racks shall be the same for all telecommunication room and shall conform to the typical JBER rack elevation drawing. Equipment racks shall be placed side-by-side perpendicular to and against one of the telecommunication room’s side walls. Rack fronts shall face the telecommunication room door. Back of the racks shall be a minimum of four feet clearance minimum. Front of racks shall be 3 feet clearance minimum. Space shall be allowed for the addition of an extra rack in line with the racks being installed as part of the project. The racks shall be anchored on the top and bottom in accordance with seismic anchoring requirements. In addition, the room layout will be such that proper working clearances can be maintained around all equipment (in the absence of any other safety guidelines, a minimum of 36” clearance will be maintained around the working foot prints of any equipment, to include the projected mounting depths of equipment planned for two post equipment racks). Any cable management, such as cable trays, that is installed overhead to provide cable paths to the racks needs to be installed to support cable routing to additional equipment locations that may be utilized at a later date (such as cable trays around the perimeter of the room, cable trays reaching completely across areas projected for future rack installations, etc.). This would include locations on telephone backboards, locations where additional equipment racks may be installed, etc. The overhead cable tray systems will be self-supporting and will not rely on the equipment racks for support.

The cable tray system will be installed a few inches above the top of the equipment racks to allow for the possibility of cabinet replacement with different types of cabinets throughout the lifecycle of the building, as well as the proper installation of cable bend radius management accessories (waterfalls, etc.). Equipment rack configuration will depend on the type of cabling servicing the facility and is covered in further detail in section 3 of this publication. Vertical wire management will be accessible from the front of the rack unit to facilitate the routing and management of patch cords, as well as from the rear of the rack to facilitate the installation of additional horizontal cabling. Since these vertical wire managers are an integral part of the horizontal cable path, they must meet the same capacity growth requirements as any other part of the horizontal cable plants, therefore it may be necessary to put in larger/wider vertical cable managers in the case of large cable plant installation (large office building with hundreds of cables returning to the cable termination racks, for example). Generally, the rack closest to the wall will be defined to support telecommunications equipment and voice transition panel terminations, while the second rack out from the wall will be designated to support the horizontal patch panels. In addition to the basic vertical wire management layout, provision will also be given to the rack layout plan to support the necessary horizontal management of patch cords in the case of multiple horizontal termination racks being required to ensure an orderly routing system for the patch cords that will reach back to the telecommunications/voice transition panel rack.

4. Terminal Blocks and Surge Arrestor:

In most cases, horizontal copper cable termination and distribution shall occur on 48 port, RJ-45 type patch panels of an appropriate category performance rating. Copper outside plant entrance cables up to 600 pair that feed end user buildings will be terminated on a surge suppression panel(s), populated with appropriate plug-in modules. These cables will be extended from the surge suppression panels to 66 blocks mounted on the telephone backboard. Copper riser cables will be terminated on separate 66 blocks mounted on the telephone backboards in each telecommunications room to push voice grade connectivity out to each satellite comm. room.

Short house cables will be terminated on 66 blocks near the entrance/riser backbone cable 66 blocks and shall extend to 48 port, RJ-45 style patch panels located in the equipment racks to a facilitate cross connecting telephone or other dedicated circuits onto the horizontal cable plant for delivery to an end user location. All four pair of each port on a patch panel designated as a telephone/voice support panel will be wired back to 66 blocks on the telephone backboard. Each 24 port row of RJ-45 ports will be wired back to a distinct set of 66 blocks that can be associated with that row of ports using a distinct 100 pair cable. The violet/slate pair at the end of each 25 pair binder group will be spared out so that each binder group is supporting 6 fully wired ports.

The next binder group will then start a new group of 6 ports (allowing for the four binder groups in a 100 pair cable to fully support a 24 port row in an RJ-45 patch panel assembly). The next 24 port row of patch panel jacks will then be wired with a discreet 100 pair cable, in a similar manner as the first, back to another distinct set of split 50, 66 blocks, appropriately labeled to distinguish which ports are being supported, and so on until all ports on all designated voice panels are wired out to the telephone back board. In the case of cables larger than 600 pair terminating in an end user building, or any cables that are terminating in a communications distribution node building (ITN, RST, DCO, etc.), provision for terminating the cable on a distribution frame using breakout cables, wire wrap termination blocks with integrated surge suppression, etc. will be designed into the project. Reference the standardized facility drawing for a typical layout of telephone backboards and equipment racks

5. Grounding:

Provide a single-point ground for all equipment in the Telecommunications Rooms. All equipment racks/cabinets will be properly grounded. Ground wires shall not be run in the same bundle or cable path as signal cables (same conduits, inside the same cable tray, laying in the same J-hooks, etc.). Provide a copper ground plate (bus bar with minimum 6 inches high by 12 inches long) installed approximately one foot above the floor on a wall within the Telecommunications Rooms, typically in the general vicinity of the outside cable plant entry point or riser cable termination point. The ground riser from the ground plate to the single main electrical service entrance ground shall be a No. 1 AWG or larger copper conductor directly connected to the ground plate with no taps. The resistance of the ground path shall be 5 ohms or less measured from the main building ground point to any ground plate in any of the telecommunications rooms.

All connections of wire-to-wire and/or wire-to-ground rod shall be thermo-welded. Connection of main ground bus cables to ground bus bars will either be thermo-welded or connected using a two-bolt type ring lug termination. Extend no. 1 AWG or larger copper ground wires from the main Telecommunications Room ground plate to each riser closet and satellite telecommunications rooms. All equipment racks will be suitably grounded (minimum 6AWG copper wire), with a small, horizontally mounted grounding distribution bar in the top of the rack, on the back side of the equipment mounting rail. All ground plates and ground bars will have additional, unused ¼-20 tapped holes to allow for the addition of ground wires to support future equipment installations.

Any piece of equipment that requires grounding will be grounded with a minimum 6AWG copper conductor back to the appropriate ground bus bar. All system grounding conductors bonded to grounding busbars shall be labeled in accordance with TIA-607-D.

6. Cable Tray:

Wire cable tray is preferred.

To improve the installation quality and structural integrity of the cable tray system, it is recommended to incorporate the following requirements:

a) Provide supports within 24 inches on both sides of each cable tray segment.

b) Provide supports within 24 inches on both sides of every bend, change in direction, or offset.

To ensure adequate accessibility for installation, maintenance, and future modifications, the cable tray system shall be installed with the following minimum clearances:

a) A minimum of 12 inches of unobstructed vertical clearance above the top of the cable tray.

b) At least 3 inches of clearance between the bottom of the cable tray and the finished ceiling or any other surface directly beneath.

c) A minimum of 8 inches of lateral (side) clearance to allow for proper cable routing and technician access.

These clearances shall be maintained along the entire length of the cable tray system to support code compliance, ease of maintenance, and system integrity.

7. Inside Plant Horizontal Cable:

Cat 6A UTP minimum with T568A pinout for Elmendorf and T568B pinout for Fort Richardson.

8. Work Area Outlet Density:

Coordinate with customers for the requirements of work area outlet density. In absent of customer’s requirements, work area outlet density will be provided in accordance with UFC 3-580-01, Table 2- 11.

9. Labeling:

Individual drop identification will be accomplished by referencing the telecommunications room number that services the faceplate, followed by a contiguous number scheme to uniquely identify the port on the face plate (for example, if the telecommunications room number is 121, then the drops being fed from the room should be identified as 121-1,121-2, 121-3, etc.) at the wall plate end, and laid down in order on the horizontal patch panels in the telecommunication room.

C. Testing and Reports:

Factory and field tests shall be provided in accordance with UFC 3-580-01 requirements. Both Tier 1 and Tier 2 are required for fiber optic cable field testing. 100% of installed cables shall be tested.

1. Test Plan:

Test procedure and format shall be in accordance with UFC 3-58-01. Calculations of the passive cable system attenuation losses for all fiber optic cables shall be included with the submitted test plan. Test plan shall be submitted for approval 21 days prior to testing.

2. Reports:

Test reports shall be submitted for review by the 673 CS OPR within 14 days after testing. Reports shall show the field tests performed to verify equipment compliance with specified performance criteria in accordance with UFC 3-580-01.

3. As-Built Drawings

As-Built drawings will include, as a minimum, overall floor plans showing telecommunications drop locations and associated drop label locations, telecommunications rooms, floor plan layouts, TTB layouts, equipment rack layouts, riser cable drawings, and appropriate GPS/GeoBase survey data of any location where new material is installed or mounted. When fiber optic cable installation includes outside plant installation work, as built drawings will also include butterfly drawings of each container showing the utilization of all ducts and innerducts in each container. The butterfly drawings may be in the form of a neat, legible sketch and do not necessarily have to be in an electronic CAD type format. In the case of the installation of any specialty equipment that directly supports communications requirements, additional as built drawings will be provided as needed to fully document the installation of the equipment (such as WAP antennas in Hangar bays, or on the exterior of a building, etc.). GIS/Geobase survey data format shall be in accordance with JBER standard. Coordinate with Vikki Draper, 907-384-3519 for specific requirement.
