8.0 Cable Specifications / Requirements:

a. Common Requirements:

• All installers shall be Optical Fiber® (INSTF®) certified.

• Install all cabling through raceways suspended from ceiling (installed by others), through a metal conduit (installed by others) where they penetrate secure walls and finally terminate inside of a compact surface mount box.

• Optical fiber cables shall be non-conductive optical fiber plenum (OFNP).

• Any CAT 5e/6 cables utilized shall be plenum/shielded (STP).

• Optical fiber cables shall be OM4 50/125 µm multi-mode and the jacket color shall be red.

• Terminate optical fiber cables using unkeyed duplex LC connectors and adaptors by fusion splicing at both ends. Pre-terminated fiber optic cables are also acceptable.

• Ensure all cabling used for this project is Trade Act Agreement (TAA) compliant.

• Provide telecommunication drawings prepared by a registered communications distribution designer (RCDD) in accordance with TIA-606 for Government approval prior to starting installation. The identifier for each termination and cable shall appear on the drawings. Drawings shall depict final telecommunications wiring infrastructure in accordance with TIA-606. The drawings should provide details required to prove that the distribution system shall properly support connectivity from the MDF to the alcove equipment, and finally to the data port location(s). Provide a laminated plastic schematic of the as-installed telecommunications cable system.

• Cabling, equipment, and hardware manufacturers shall have a minimum of 3 years’ experience in the manufacturing, assembly, and factory testing of components which comply with TIA-568.1, TIA-568.2 and TIA-568.3.
