1. Project Description

The intent of this project is to upgrade the telecommunications cabling for the Kewanee Armory and FMS to category 6 cabling and installation of 4 each new 19-inch rack(s)/cabinets locations to be pointed out during Site visit.

Installation shall consist of pulling CAT 6 cabling and installation 99 locations, with 82 each voice and 102 each data drops at designated locations provided during inspection of the facility prior to bid. Fiber upgrade to 10 G Multi mode

6 strand to all cabinets in main building. All cabling and conduit will be home runs to the data cabinet(s). Any trunk conduits will have 10% space for future growth of the network or a second one installed; all 90% bends are to within a pull box. The location of the south IDF will be picked out at the site visit.

FMS DEMARC will be extended from the Attic to the shop office and installed in cabinet in shop, this will also include pulling of all new cat 6 cables, extending fiber and copper from main building.

Also included in this rewire will be the installation of no more than 20 conduits with one (1) Data cable and jack for future wireless network adapters placements, on both first, and lower floors of armory, and the Maintenance shop. WI-FI cables will be on the end of last patch panel or on its own patch panel. Please refer to item number (9) nine for labeling instructions.

Existing mission critical working voice and data cables are to remain operational until cutover.

13. Glossary of Terms (General):

Associated Hardware – All material, too numerous to list, needed to complete installation process. Material needed to give a neat appearance when work is complete.

CO – Central Office (The telephone company).

Cross Connect – To terminate wires between separate connection blocks, by way of cross connect wire.

Demarcation Point – Where CO terminates their trunks or lines for final connection to user’s telecommunication system.

EMI- Electromagnetic Interference.

1 March 2016 Page 5 of 9

Main Distribution Frame (MDF) – The main cross connection point between the demarcation point and the telecommunication system. Point where all wall jack pairs can be accessed through cross connection.

Telecommunications switching equipment is installed at this location. All wire cables originate from this location.

Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF) – This location is also referred to as the riser or satellite closet. This location houses compact equipment that in most cases can provide cross connection and terminations for an entire building floor. It is at this location that the riser cables are terminated and connected to the horizontal wiring.

House/Inside/Horizontal Cable – cable running between the wall jack and IDF or MDF.

Riser Cable – That wiring within a building which provides the means of connecting all wall jack pairs terminated in the IDF to the MDF. Used under STAR Distribution Methodology, the riser cable will contain pair or pair quantity equal to the floor for which it is connected plus 25% overage for future growth to the next 25 pair cable count for voice termination.

Star Distribution Methodology – Wiring method where each IDF has its own individual cable or group of cables wired direct with no splices between the IDF and the MDF. This method is also used when running house cable between the wall jack and the IDF.

Telephone Terminal Board (TTB) – Mounting board for all telephone switching equipment, connection blocks, and associated hardware within the MDF and IDF closets. Made of ¾” plywood, painted twice with flame retardant material, and normally provided in 4’x8’ sheets. Sizes are determined by need and size of equipment.

Termination – The punching down of individual copper conductors by placing each conductor in color coded industry sequence in the connecting block and punching them down using a special tool for such purpose. This procedure will also cut off excess wiring material. Termination also refers to the connection of cable pairs to wall jacks in color sequence order; refer to section 16740, paragraph 4.01(a).

USOC – Universal Service Ordering Code, used by vendors to describe industry standards for certain telecom products, (e.g. wall jacks).

Wall jacks – Device utilized at each telephone/data location as a point for termination the horizontal wiring. The telephone and data terminal is then plugged into this device for making a connection to the wiring system.
