Category 6 Cabling System City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />Request for Proposal Confidential and Proprietary <br />11 TESTING <br />Testing of all newly installed cable channels shall be performed prior to system cutover. <br />11.1 COPPER TESTING <br />■ All category 6 field testing shall be performed with an approved level III balanced twisted -pair <br />field test device. <br />■ All installed category 6 channels shall perform equal to or better than the minimum <br />requirements as specified by the table below: <br />Parameter <br />100MHz <br />(dB) <br />200MHz <br />(d B) <br />250MHz <br />dB) <br />300MHz <br />(dB) <br />Insertion Loss <br />19.0 dB <br />27.4 dB <br />30.9 dB <br />34.1 dB <br />NEXT Loss <br />43.9 dB <br />39.3 dB <br />37.8 dB <br />36.6 dB <br />PS NEXT Loss <br />41.9 dB <br />37.3 dB <br />35.8 dB <br />34.6 dB <br />ACR <br />24.9 dB <br />11.9 dB <br />6.9 dB <br />2.5 dB <br />PS ACR <br />22.9 dB <br />9.9 dB <br />4.9 dB <br />0.5 dB <br />ELFEXT <br />26.3 dB <br />20.3 dB <br />18.3 dB <br />16.8 dB <br />PS ELFEXT <br />23.4 dB <br />17.3 dB <br />15.4 dB <br />13.8 dB <br />Return Loss <br />14.7 dB <br />11.7 dB <br />10.7 dB <br />9.9 dB <br />Propagation Delay <br />528 ns <br />527 ns <br />526 ns <br />526 ns <br />Delay Skew <br />40 ns <br />40 ns <br />40 ns <br />40 ns <br />■ Category 6 balanced twisted -pair horizontal and backbone cables, whose length does not <br />exceed 90 m (295 ft) for the basic link, and 100 m (328 ft) for the channel shall be 100 <br />percent tested according to ANSI /TIA/EIA- 568 -B.1. Test parameters include wire map plus <br />ScTP shield continuity (when present), length, NEXT loss (pair -to- pair), NEXT loss (power <br />sum), ELFEXT loss (pair -to- pair), ELFEXT loss (power sum), return loss, insertion loss, <br />propagation delay, and delay skew. <br />TEST EQUIPMENT CRITERIA <br />• All balanced twisted -pair field testers shall be factory calibrated each calendar year by the <br />field test equipment manufacturer as stipulated by the manuals provided with the field test <br />unit. The calibration certificate shall be provided for review prior to the start of testing. <br />• Auto test settings provided in the field tester for testing the installed cabling shall be set to the <br />default parameters <br />• Test settings selected from options provided in the field testers shall be compatible with the <br />installed cable under test. <br />11.2 FIBER OPTIC TESTING <br />HORIZONTAL FIBER TESTING <br />■ Fiber horizontal cables shall be 100% tested for insertion loss and length. <br />• Insertion loss shall be tested at 850 nm or 1300 nm for 50/125µm and 62.5/125µm multimode <br />cabling in at least one direction using the Method B (1- jumper) test procedure as specified in <br />ANSI /TIA/EIA- 526 -14A. <br />• Length shall be tested using an OTDR, optical length test measurement device or sequential <br />cable measurement markings. <br />BACKBONE FIBER TESTING <br />• Fiber horizontal cables shall be 100% tested for insertion loss and length. <br />■ Insertion loss shall be tested at 850 nm and 1300 nm for 50/125µm and 62.5/125µm <br />multimode cabling in at least one direction using the Method B (1- jumper) test procedure as <br />specified in ANSI /TIA/EIA- 526 -14A. <br />
