Description

STATEMENT OF WORK Interior Communications and Information System Criteria For Sheppard Air Force Base Facilities This document identifies and defines Sheppard AFB?s requirements and policies for designing and installing internal telecommunications data infrastructure within Sheppard AFB facilities. Design standards are based on, and, installation of data cables must be in accordance with EIA/TIA 568-B, Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard, EIA/TIA 569-A, Commercial Building Standard for Telecommunications Pathways and Spaces, and TIA/EIA-606, Administration Standard for Commercial Telecommunications Infrastructure. Design or installation questions shall be referred to the 82 CS/SCX staff for resolution. Standard Telecommunications Outlet: The standard outlet must consist of two 8-pin/8-position CAT 5e modular USOC RJ-45 jacks mounted in a single faceplace (one jack for telephone (on top) and one for data use (on bottom)) in a factory-made assembly. For data cable only installations, the top jack, voice, will be reserved for future use. Outlet boxes shall be no smaller than 50 mm wide, 75 mm high and 64 mm deep (2 in, 3 in, 25 in). Color of hardware used in office areas will be neutral in color, (tan, beige, ivory, gray, etc) and blend with the surrounding d?cor. Adhesive-backed hardware shall not be used. When terminating category 5e and higher cables, the cable pair twists shall be maintained to within 13 mm (0.5 in) from the point of termination. Telecommunications outlets shall always be located within three (3) feet of an electrical outlet. Communications Wiring: Client jacks will be Category 5e rated Universal Service Order Code (USOC) registered jack (RJ)-45, wired with CAT 5e four-pair, No. 24 AWG solid copper, 100 ohm, plenum rated, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable in accordance with TIA/EIA-568-B, Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard. Use the T568B termination configuration. Terminate all client drops on CAT 5e rated patch panels. Building telecommunications (telephone and LAN) distribution systems must meet TIA/EIA-568-B, TIA/EIA-569-A, Commercial Building Standards for Telecommunications Pathways and Spaces, TIA/EIA-606, Administration Standard for the Telecommunications Infrastructure of Commercial Building, and TIA/EIA-607, Commercial Building Grounding and Bonding Requirements for Telecommunications. Telecommunications cabling is always installed in a home-run fashion with individual cables running from the work area all the way to the telecommunications closet. Splices in horizontal distribution cable are not allowed. Terminate all client drops on CAT 5e rated patch panels in the communications cabinet. Where existing patch panels cannot accommodate the new cabling, the contractor must install a new Category 5e rated patch panel, similar to existing, in the communications cabinet. Coordinate placement of new patch panels with 82 CS/SCX. TIA/EIA-568-B allows a maximum distance of 90 meters (295 feet) from the client outlet to the telecommunications room. Cable and components shall be visually inspected for proper installation. Cable stress, such as that caused by tension in suspended cable runs and tightly cinched bundles, should be minimized. Cable ties used to bundle cables should be applied loosely to allow the cable tie to slide around the cable bundle. The cable ties should not be cinched so tightly as to deform the cable sheath. Cable placement should not deform the cable sheath. The minimum bend radius, under no-load conditions, for 4-pair unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable shall be four times the cable diameter. All wiring will be terminated to the T568B wiring standard: Eight-position jack pin/pair assignment (T568B) At the telecommunications cabinet, all cables and wiring installed shall be labeled, D-ring supported, dressed, and fanned in a neat manner. Ensure that the wire closet/centers and work areas are clean and free of debris. Wiring installed above suspended ceilings and under false floors will be concentrated and routed along the supporting members of the structure and not across tiles or openings. Limit exposed wiring located in the work area. If necessary, temporarily remove carpeting, panels, molding, or other hardware for the purpose of installation and restore to original condition. Where cables terminate in modular furniture, the cables shall be run through the communications raceways built into the modular furniture. All wiring in walls, under floors, above ceilings, etc, shall be concealed to the maximum extent possible in office, maintenance, and data areas. Use moldings ducts, conduits, raceways, utility poles, etc, where installation of house wiring within walls is impractical. Conduit: The use of conduit for telecommunications cabling shall be from the telecommunications outlet to above the false ceiling. Conduit shall be a minimum of ?? electrical metallic and nonmetallic tubing, nonmetallic flexible conduit and nonmetallic flexible tubing, rigid metal conduit, or rigid nonmetallic conduit. Conduits shall be reamed to eliminate sharp edges; metallic conduit shall be terminated with an insulated bushing. Pull string or rope shall be placed in installed conduits. Support Structures: Where zone conduit or cable tray is not available in a suspended ceiling space and where telecommunications cables are allowed to be placed in the ceiling, adequate open top cable supports, such as bridle rings or J-hooks, located on 48-60 inch centers, shall be provided. Where large quantities of cables (50-75 cables) are bunched together in a ceiling at a congested area special supports shall be designed and installed to carry the additional weight. A suspended ceiling support rod or wire may be used to mount appropriate cable fasteners loaded with multiple cables up to the total weight for which the fastener is approved. The fastener design shall not interfere with the inserting or removal of ceiling tile. All cable no longer in use will be removed and not abandoned. Cable and wiring support hardware will be self supporting (i.e., not rely on or be supported by other pipes, cables, or conduits). Cables entering and leaving a conduit or duct will be supported so the cable is not stressed at the rim of the conduit. Telecommunications cable may not be attached directly to electrical conduit, T-bar ceiling support wires, or any non-communications cabling. The pathway shall be sized to support the initial installation of cable, plus 25% growth. All wall outlets shall have a minimum three quarter (3/4)-inch conduit routing through the wall to an accessible cable pulling location. Cable shall not be laid directly on the ceiling tile or rails. A minimum of 75 mm (3 in) clear vertical space shall be available above the ceiling tiles for horizontal cabling and pathway. Telecommunications System Management Records: Telecommunication system labeling, management records, and drawings must comply with TAI/EIA-606. All outlets, patch panel positions, and cables must be labeled with machine made labels as to their function with a unique identifier code and a designation for the intended use such as ?V? for voice and ?D? for data. As-built drawings and management records must show the location of all outlets, equipment, and cabling including identifier assignments, show pathway locations and routing, configuration of telecommunications spaces including backboard and equipment rack configurations. These records must be provided as a deliverable item under any construction procurement contract. They will form part of the base Communications and Information Systems Installation Records (CSIR) and must be delivered to the base communications officer upon contract completion according to AFI 33-104, Base Level Planning and Implementation, and AFI 21-404, Developing and Maintaining Communications and Computer Systems Installation Records. Provide accurate paper, two sets of E size drawings, and electronic updates in Micro Station format. No other electronic format is compatible with the EDSC database. Testing: All cabling must be tested end-to-end and certified to meet TIA/EIA 568-B performance standards. All test results and certifications must be provided in a report upon completion of construction to 82 CS/SCX. The minimum test results include: a) Wire map b) Length c) Insertion loss d) Near-end crosstalk (NEXT) loss e) Power sum near-end crosstalk (PSNEXT) loss f) Equal-level far-end crosstalk (ELFEXT) g) Power sum equal-level far-end crosstalk (PSELFEXT) h) Return loss i) Propagation delay j) Delay skew Upon delivery of the test report, 82 CS will conduct a visual inspection of the installed cable and support structures to ensure conformance with EIA/TIA standards. All discrepancies must be corrected prior to system acceptance.
