Amendment 0008 Attachment 11712612.pdf

This is a specification document for the Power Generation Microgrid project at Cape Cod Space Force Station in Bourne, Massachusetts, detailing telecommunications infrastructure requirements.

The document outlines comprehensive telecommunications pathway and cabling specifications required for the microgrid installation. Section 2.2 mandates telecommunications pathways in accordance with TIA-569 and Section 26 00 Interior Distribution System standards, with system furniture pathways meeting UL 1286 requirements. Section 2.3 specifies telecommunications cabling that must be UL listed and compliant with TIA-568.0, TIA-568.1, TIA-568.2, TIA-568.3, and NFPA 70 standards. Cable must include proper labeling per TIA-606 and UL 969, with cables shipped on reels or in boxes bearing manufacture dates. The backbone cabling requirements (Section 2.3.1) call for single-mode optical fiber cables imprinted with fiber count, type, and aggregate length at intervals not exceeding 40 inches, with a minimum of 12 strands between the main telecommunications room and other rooms. Section 2.3.1.2 specifies fiber optic splitter assemblies with LC connectors rated for single-mode fiber distribution, PLC type splitters requiring no electrical power, and strict performance parameters including insertion loss limits, return loss specifications, and temperature operating ranges from -40°C to +85°C. All cabling and components must comply with NFPA 70 standards, with substitutions of higher-rated cables permitted when in accordance with applicable standards.
