a. Lay and dress cables to allow other cables to enter raceway (conduit or otherwise) without difficulty at a later time by maintaining a working distance from these openings.

b. Route cable as close as possible to the ceiling, floor, sides, or corners to insure that adequate wall or backboard space is available for current and future equipment and for cable terminations.

c. Lay cables via the shortest route directly to the nearest edge of the backboard from mounted equipment or blocks. Support cables so as not to create a load on the equipment upon which the cables are terminated. Tie-wrap similarly routed and similar cables together and attach to D-rings vertically or horizontally, then route over a path that will offer minimum obstruction to future installations of equipment, backboards or other cables.

9. Cable in the telecommunications rooms:a. For telecommunications rooms with ladder rack, lay cable neatly in ladder rack

in even bundles and loosely secure cabling to the ladder rack at regular intervals with tie-wraps or velcro straps.

across ladder rack across top of rack and then down vertical ladder rack to patch panel.

B. Copper Cable: Terminate all pairs within a cable. Un-terminated cable pairs are not acceptable.1. For horizontal distribution: Provide station cable in the locations shown on the

Contract Documents. Provide service loops with a minimum length of 12 inches in outlet boxes and no less than 10 feet in the ER/TR's.a. For workstation outlets with both Category 6 and coaxial cable for TV

Distribution, terminate Category 6 cabling after coaxial cable has been installed and terminated.

b. Route station cable that is exposed (not in conduit) to comply with ANSI/TIA/EIA-569 requirements for avoiding potential EMI sources and as follows:1) 48 inches (1219 mm) from motors or transformers.2) 12 inches (305 mm) from conduit and cables used for electrical power

distribution.3) 5 inches (127 mm) from fluorescent lighting.

2. For intrabuilding backbone distribution: Install intrabuilding backbone cable in the locations shown on the Contract Documents. Provide a service loop long enough in the TR's to reach termination equipment if moved to the farthest side of the room in the future, but no less than a minimum length of 10 feet (3.3 m) at each end.a. Use unshielded, non-plenum multi-pair copper cable for connecting the back

side of termination blocks to entrance protectors, telephone systems, and voice grade active electronics.

b. For shielded cable, bond both ends of the metallic shield (or metallic strength) member to the nearest TGB as furnished under Section 26 05 48 - Vibration and Seismic Controls for Electrical Systems.

C. Fiber Cable: Terminate all fiber strands within a fiber cable. The installation of "dark fiber" is not acceptable.1. For Intrabuilding Backbone Distribution:

a. Test fiber optic cable on the reel upon delivery to the job site, and again prior to installation. Permanently affix the test results to the reel and submit a copy to the Owner prior to installation. Do not install cables that fail the on-reel test. Replace any cables that fail the on-reel test at no additional expense to the Owner.1) Test shall conform to the procedures as required by this specification

27 20 00-20

section.2) Demonstrate that the test results are in harmony with the factory test

results as shipped with the reel.b. For shielded cable, bond both ends of the metallic shield (or metallic strength)

member to the nearest TGB as furnished under Section 26 05 48 - Vibration and Seismic Controls for Electrical Systems.

Indicate conduit length on the label.

J. Pull Strings: Label each pull string in a clear manner by designating the location of the other end of the pull string (i.e. room name, telecommunications room name, pull box identifier, outlet identifier (use the label of the first port of the outlet as the outlet identifier), etc.).

3.6 TESTING

A. Provide test records on a form approved by the Architect. Include the test results for each cable in the system. Submit the test results for each cable tested with identification as discussed under LABELING AND ADMINISTRATION above. Include the cable identifier,

27 20 00-22

outcome of test, indication of errors found, cable length, retest results, and name and signature of technician completing the tests. Provide test results for review and acceptance within two weeks of Substantial Completion.1. Print test records for each cable within the system directly from the tester and submit

in paper form (in a binder) and in electronic form (on diskette or CDROM) to the Owner and Designer for review. Handwritten test results will not be accepted.

B. Test the SCS after installation for compliance to all applicable standards as follows:1. Copper:

a. For Horizontal Distribution: Test all pairs of each copper station cable, for conformance to ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-B Category 6, and ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-B standards. To the extent possible, perform tests with building electrical systems fully powered on (i.e. Lights, HVAC, etc.).1) Test each end-to-end link (the entire channel from the connector at the

station to the connector or termination in the telecommunications room) utilizing sweep tests, for continuity, shorts, polarity, near-end cross talk (NEXT), far-end cross talk (FEXT), attenuation, installed length, transposition (wire map), mutual capacitance, characteristic impedance, resistance, ACR, and presence of AC voltage. Use the Power Sum method to test NEXT and FEXT. Test each cable in both directions.

2) Use a TIA/EIA Level III testing instrument, re-calibrated within the manufacturer's recommended calibration period, with the most current software revision based upon the most current ANSI/TIA/EIA testing guidelines, capable of storing and printing test records for each cable within the system and equipped with the current test adapters.a) Testing Device: Fluke DSP-4000 with latest software and

hardware releases for CAT-6 horizontal distribution cables, or approved equal.

3) In addition to the above, perform tests both recommended and mandated by manufacturer. Tests shall confirm/guarantee compliance to Ethernet Category 6 1000B-T (1000 Mb/s IEEE 802.3ab) and 1000B-TX (1000 Mb/s ANSI/TIA/EIA-854) applications.

b. For Intrabuilding Backbone Distribution: Test all cable pairs for length, shorts, opens, continuity, polarity reversals, transposition (wire map), and the presence of AC voltage. All pairs shall demonstrate compliance to TIA/EIA 568-B Category 3 standards.1) Test copper cable on the reel upon delivery to the job site, again prior to

installation, and again after installation.2) Test entire channel, from termination block to termination block.3) Use a TIA/EIA Level III testing instrument, re-calibrated within the

manufacturer's recommended calibration period, with the most current software revision based upon the most current TIA/EIA testing guidelines, capable of storing and printing test records for each cable within the system.a) Fluke DSP-4000, or approved equal.

2. Fiber: Test fiber optic cable on the reel upon delivery to the job site prior to installation, and again after installation.a. Prior to testing, calculate the cable loss budget for each fiber optic cable and

clearly show the result on the test documentation. Calculate maximum loss using the following formula, assuming no splices:1) For Horizontal Distribution:

a) Max Loss = 2.0db (per ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-B).2) For Backbone Distribution:

a) Max Loss = [(allowable loss/km) * (km of fiber)] + [(.3db) * (# of connectors)].

b) A mated connector to connector interface is defined as a single

27 20 00-23

connector for the purposes of the above formula.c) A given fiber strand shall not exceed its calculated maximum loss

(per the above formula).b. Test all strands using a bi-directional end-to-end optical transmission loss test

instrument (such as an OTDR) trace performed per ANSI/TIA/EIA 455-61 or a bi-directional end-to-end power meter test performed per ANSI/TIA/EIA 455-53A, and ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-B.1) Calculate loss numbers by taking the sum of the two bi-directional

measurements and dividing that sum by two.2) Provide test measurements as follows:

a) For Multimode Cable: Test at both 850 and 1300nm.c. For Singlemode Cable: Test at both 1310 and 1550nm.d. Test results shall conform to:

1) The criteria specified in ANSI/TIA/EIA-568B2) The Contractor's calculated loss budget above3) The criteria specified in IEEE 802.3z (1000Base-X Gigabit Ethernet):

a) In addition to the above, perform tests both recommended and mandated by the manufacturer. Tests shall confirm/guarantee compliance to manufacturer's performance standards and also IEEE 802.3z for a maximum end-to-end dB loss of 2.5 dB.

4) The criteria specified in IEEE 802.3z (1000Base-X Gigabit Ethernet).

C. Identify cables and equipment that do not pass to the Architect. Determine the source of the non-compliance and replace or correct the cable or the connection materials, and retest the cable or connection materials at no additional expense to the Owner. Provide new test results in the same manner as above.1. In addition to the above, if it is determined that the cable is at fault, remove the

damaged cable and replace it with a new cable. Cable "repairs" are not acceptable. The procedure for removing the cable shall be as follows:a. Prior to removal of damaged cable and installation of new cable:

1) Inform the Owner of the schedule for the removal and installation.2) Test the new cable on the reel.3) Test cables that occupy the same innerduct or conduit (if not in

innerduct) as the damaged cable, regardless of whether or not they are new cables installed as part of this project or existing cables installed prior to this project.

4) Provide test results for approval.b. Remove the damaged cable and provide new cable.c. After the removal of the damaged cable and installation of the new cable:

1) Test the new cable.2) Test cables that occupy the same innerduct or conduit (if not in

innerduct) as the damaged cable, regardless of whether they are new cables installed as part of this project or existing cables installed prior to this project.a) If any of the cables requiring testing are in use, coordinate with the

Owner to schedule an outage opportunity during which the testing can be performed.

3) Provide test results for approval.d. If a cable which occupies the same innerduct or conduit (if not in innerduct) as

a damaged cable is damaged by the extraction and installation process, replace the cable at no additional expense to the Owner.1) Damaged cables which are replaced shall be subject to the testing

procedures.
