The wire will be General Cable brand, GenSpeed 6000 or equal unshielded twisted pair, category 6, 24 gauge, four pairs per station cable. All wiring will be routed via hung ceiling area and concealed in the wall where possible or at vendor's cost through surface mounted raceway as per drop list. The jacket color of the cable will be specified by BCC with each request. An additional ten feet of Category 6 cable will be coiled, tie wrapped, and left in the wall or ceiling and in the Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF) or Wire Closet. All wire must be installed in such a way as to meet all applicable local building code specifications. The vendor is responsible for any and all permits or fees required by local municipalities as the College has campuses in Paramus, Lyndhurst, and Hackensack New Jersey.

Each station faceplate will be a Panduit White Faceplate or equal with the appropriate number of Positions (CFPE[4,2] WHY) and will be uniquely identified and consistent with the existing stations in each area or room. Blank positions will be filled with the appropriate blank panels. Each patch panel termination in each IDF will be labeled and identified in a way that is consistent with the existing system. The existing system is based on IDF letter and number, Room letter and number, and jack number. Prior to starting work the termination locations and labeling will be confirmed with the College IT Staff and each job will be reviewed prior to acceptance and sign off to ensure compliance with the standards specified herein. Testing: All new wire installations shall be tested and certified with a qualified cat6 certification tool.
