<br />Category 6 Cabling System <br />Request for Proposal <br /> <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />Confidential and Proprietary <br /> <br />1 0 INSTALLATION <br /> <br />10.1 SITE SURVEY <br /> <br />Prior to placing any cable pathways or cable, the contractor shall survey the site to determine job <br />conditions will not impose any obstructions that would interfere with the safe and satisfactory <br />placement of the cables, The arrangements to remove any obstructions with the Project Manager <br />need to be determined at that time. <br /> <br />10.2 PHYSICAL INSTALLATION <br /> <br />10.2.1 CABLE PATHWAYS <br />· Pathways shall be designed and installed to meet applicable local and national building and <br />electrical codes or regulations. <br />· Grounding / Earthing and bonding of pathways shall comply with applicable codes and <br />regulations. <br />· Pathways shall not have exposed sharp edges that may come into contact with <br />telecommunications cables. <br />· The number of cables placed in a pathway shall not exceed manufacture specifications, nor, <br />will the geometric shape of a cable be affected. <br />· Pathways shall not be located in elevator shafts, <br /> <br />10.2.2 INTRABUILDING CABLE ROUTING <br />· The backbone subsystem shall include cable installed in a vertical manner between floor <br />telecommunications rooms and the main or intermediate cross-connect in a multi-story <br />building and cable installed horizontally between telecommunications rooms and the main or <br />intermediate cross-connect in a long single story building like a school or factory. <br />· Unless otherwise recommended by the manufacturer, all fiber cables will be run in inner duct. <br />· Fibers will be terminated in the telecommunications rooms using SC, or Fe connectors in <br />wall mounted interconnect centers or rack mounted panels equipped with sufficient ports, <br />slack storage space and splice trays if required to terminate and secure all fibers. <br />· Adequate riser sleeve/slot space shall be available with the ability to ingress the area at a <br />later date in all telecommunications rooms, such that no drilling of additional sleeves/slots is <br />necessary, <br />· The backbone cables shall be installed in a star topology, emanating from the main cross- <br />connect to each telecommunications room. An intermediate cross-connect may be present <br />between the main cross-connect and the horizontal cross-connect. This is known as a <br />hierarchical star topology. <br />· Optical fiber should be run for any backbone segment greater than 90 m (295 ft.). If the <br />Intrabuilding backbone segment is less than 90 m (295 ft), and fiber is not routed, the <br />balanced twisted-pair cable shall be category 5e or higher. <br />· Backbone pathways shall be installed or selected such that the minimum bend radius of <br />backbone cables is kept within manufacturer specifications both during and after installation. <br />· In an underground system, adequate underground conduit space shall be available and <br />accessible at each building. The conduits shall not exceed a fill factor of 40%. <br />· All underground systems shall be designed to prevent water runoff from entering the building. <br />· The backbone cables shall be installed in a star topology, emanating from the main cross- <br />connect to each satellite building telecommunications room. Alllnterbuilding cables shall be <br />installed to the applicable codes and regulations. <br /> <br />1 0.2.3 HORIZONTAL CABLE ROUTING <br />· All horizontal cables, regardless of media type, shall not exceed 90 m (295 ft) from the <br />telecommunications outlets in the work area to the horizontal cross connect. <br /> <br />SIB <br />
