Category 6 Cabling System City of Sunny Isles Beach Request for Proposal Confidential and Proprietary 10 INSTALLATION 10.1 SITE SURVEY Prior to placing any cable pathways or cable, the contractor shall survey the site to determine job conditions will not impose any obstructions that would interfere with the safe and satisfactory placement of the cables. The arrangements to remove any obstructions with the Project Manager need to be determined at that time. 10.2 PHYSICAL INSTALLATION 10.2.1 CABLE PATHWAYS ■ Pathways shall be designed and installed to meet applicable local and national building and electrical codes or regulations. • Grounding / Earthing and bonding of pathways shall comply with applicable codes and regulations. • Pathways shall not have exposed sharp edges that may come into contact with telecommunications cables. • The number of cables placed in a pathway shall not exceed manufacture specifications, nor, will the geometric shape of a cable be affected. • Pathways shall not be located in elevator shafts. 10.2.2 INTRABUILDING CABLE ROUTING ■ The backbone subsystem shall include cable installed in a vertical manner between floor telecommunications rooms and the main or intermediate cross - connect in a multi -story building and cable installed horizontally between telecommunications rooms and the main or intermediate cross - connect in a long single story building like a school or factory. ■ Unless otherwise recommended by the manufacturer, all fiber cables will be run in inner duct. ■ Fibers will be terminated in the telecommunications rooms using SC, or FC connectors in wall mounted interconnect centers or rack mounted panels equipped with sufficient ports, slack storage space and splice trays if required to terminate and secure all fibers. • Adequate riser sleeve /slot space shall be available with the ability to ingress the area at a later date in all telecommunications rooms, such that no drilling of additional sleeves /slots is necessary. • The backbone cables shall be installed in a star topology, emanating from the main cross - connect to each telecommunications room. An intermediate cross - connect may be present between the main cross - connect and the horizontal cross - connect. This is known as a hierarchical star topology. • Optical fiber should be run for any backbone segment greater than 90 m (295 ft.). If the Intrabuilding backbone segment is less than 90 m (295 ft), and fiber is not routed, the balanced twisted -pair cable shall be category 5e or higher. • Backbone pathways shall be installed or selected such that the minimum bend radius of backbone cables is kept within manufacturer specifications both during and after installation. • In an underground system, adequate underground conduit space shall be available and accessible at each building. The conduits shall not exceed a fill factor of 40 %. ■ All underground systems shall be designed to prevent water runoff from entering the building. ■ The backbone cables shall be installed in a star topology, emanating from the main cross - connect to each satellite building telecommunications room. All Interbuilding cables shall be installed to the applicable codes and regulations. 10.2.3 HORIZONTAL CABLE ROUTING ■ All horizontal cables, regardless of media type, shall not exceed 90 m (295 ft) from the telecommunications outlets in the work area to the horizontal cross connect.
