Base Telecommunications Engineer a minimum of five (5) working days prior to start of work with all testing results from onsite field testing.

Field Delivery and Storage Requirements:

A. Contractor: Ship media to job site on factory reels or in factory cartons. Provide a reel drum radius no smaller than the minimum bend radius recommended by the manufacturer for the media. Wind cable on the reel so that unwinding can be done without kinking the cable.

B. Provide 2 meters (6’ .5”) pigtails of cable at each end of the reel readily accessible for testing.

C. Attach a permanent label on each reel showing length, media, identification number, and date of manufacture. Provide water resistant label and ink on the labels.

D. Apply end seals to each end of the media after testing and before terminating to prevent moisture or damage from entering the cable while stored at the job site.

E. Ensure reels are suitable for outside storage conditions when temperature ranges from minus 40 degrees C to plus 65 degrees C minus 40 degrees F to plus 150 degrees F, with relative humidity from zero to 100 percent. Store equipment, other than FO media, delivered and placed in storage with protection from weather, humidity and temperature variation, dirt and dust, or other contaminants.

Grounding and Bonding:

A. MDF/IDF Racks: All equipment racks will have a grounding lugs with a 10 foot #6

AWG green insulated grounding conductor minimum for proper bonding/grounding. A licensed electrician shall be responsible for the installation of the Telecommunications

Grounding Bar. All Ladder Tray / / Support mechanism shall comply with a continuous grounding/ bonding system utilizing #6 AWG green whips in accordance with DOD

UFC, NEC, and NFPA 70. Bond all telecommunications spaces and infrastructure in accordance with TIA 607-B where applicable.

B. NFPA 70 / NEC: Must comply for grounding and bonding requirements. Provide a telecommunications bonding and grounding system in accordance with TIA-607-B. Refer to Figure 2- 4 below. ITS grounding systems are covered in UFC 3-520-01 Interior

Electrical Systems. TIA-607-B identifies a bonding conductor known as the telecommunications bonding backbone (TBB) which is intended to equalize potentials between TRs. It should be recognized that the impedance of the TBB increases with length, thereby reducing its ability to equalize potentials between TRs.

C. ITS / RCDD Designer: must consider that the TBB for a large site may be very costly to achieve. As an alternative, the TGB in each MDF/IDF/TR can be bonded to the electrical panel board in the TR and to structural steel where applicable. Install bonding conductors in the shortest and most direct paths feasible.

D. Entrance Cable Grounding: Connect all metallic shields and strength members for outside plant cable as well as TIE/Backbone cables (as applicable) entering a building.

Grounding / Bonding will be tied into the electrical service grounding electrode system in accordance with NFPA 70, Article 800.

E. Bonding: the OSP cable shield, armor, and metallic strength member to the main building ground as close as possible to the building point of entrance with a No. 6 AWG or larger ground wire. Use a non-bonded splice case for the transition from OSP rated cable to interior rated cable. The metallic strength member to the TMGB with a No. 6

AWG or larger copper ground wire, as close to the conduit egress point as possible.

F. Conduits: Ensure all are bonded as well to the system. Ensure bonding surface contact is cleaned and verified at all points.
