1. In general, all interior cables are installed in wall spaces, conduit or wiremold. 2. D rings are allowed in telecommunications room as needed.



3. Contractor shall use hook and loop type fasteners on all UTP telecommunications cable. Tie wraps may be temporarily used loosely for dressing UTP cables during installation if they are removed before final inspection. Any tie wrap found in place around UTP cable tight enough that a 0.5” wooden dowel cannot be inserted into the bundle at the tie wrap location shall therefore obligate the Contractor to replace those potentially damaged UTP cables at the Design Professionals discretion, whether they pass electronic testing or not.

4. Tie wraps may be used carefully on OSP and armored cabling at light tension levels which do not result in any visible cable jacket deformation.

5. If unarmored fiber is specified without innerduct for any reason, tie wraps are forbidden on that cabling.

6. Any and all tie wraps used in the project shall be trimmed flush at the locking device using a fully flush cutter tool for safety. Any tie wrap found with a sharp point shall be removed by the Contractor and replaced without additional compensation.

B. Identify all fiber, copper, and coaxial cables that terminate in the telecommunication room as to

field location.

1. Each information outlet shall be identified using the standard Labeling Scheme for Davenport Community School District as described below.

2. Each port shall have a three-segment code organized in three fields separated by hyphens. (see below)

3. The first three numeric characters refer to the room number of the telecom closet in which the cable terminates.

4. The fourth alpha character indicates the patch panel on which the cable terminates. 5. The fifth and sixth numeric characters indicate the port number on the patch panel where

the cable terminates. 6. The jack colors shall match the specified cable colors as follows:

a. Yellow = Data/VOIP b. Orange = Security c. Black = Wireless

7. The sequence of numbering the jacks on multiple faceplates in the same room shall start with the location immediately to the left of the primary entrance to that room and increase in number in a clockwise manner around the room

8. The lowest number designator of the jack in each faceplate shall be in the upper left position on the faceplate and the numbers shall increase in a left to right and sequential row pattern from top to bottom on each faceplate, as indicated in the illustration below.

9. In each Telecom Closet the patch panels shall be labeled sequentially with a single alpha character beginning with “A” for the patch panel located at the top of the rack, progressing alphabetically to the bottom of the rack. If a Telecom Room or MDF room has more than 26 patch panels, the labeling of the 26th and greater patch panels shall have two alpha characters. The sequence of these characters shall be: AA, AB, AC, etc. If the Telecom Closet has multiple racks mounted with patch panels, the patch panel mounted in the top of the left rack shall begin with “A” progressing to the bottom of the rack and then to the rack mounted to the right.

10. The jack colors in the patch panels shall conform to the same color code scheme listed above for the faceplates.

11. The contractor shall label each cable within 6” of the end of the cable, at both ends using a self adhesive cable marker. The label shall conform to the Labeling Specification above and shall have the same content as the label on the faceplate.

12. In each Telecom Closet there shall be a floor plan of that floor laminated and mounted on the wall. That floor plan diagram shall show all of the room numbers served by that Telecom Closet and the locations of each faceplate in each room served by that Telecom Closet. The jack numbers of each faceplate location shall be indicated on the floor plan.

13. Contractor shall comply with the labeling scheme of the facility, unless directed otherwise by the Director of Learning Information Services of the Davenport CSD or Design Professional.



14. Each horizontal cable run shall have a 10’ service loop coiled at each end. The service loop shall be secured to a J-hook with Velcro at the outlet end of the cable and shall not rest on the ceiling tiles or ceiling tile support system. The service loop shall be neatly coiled in basket tray or ladder rack in the Telecom Room.

15. All field device labeling shall match the telecom room labeling for the corresponding cable.

16. Jacks shall be numbered sequentially on the patch panel field, beginning at the top left, working across the row to the right, then down to the next row, etc. This shall require Contractor to plan the installation and terminate sequentially on both ends through the building rather than terminate randomly which results in confusion for Owner.

17. When transitioning from one floor to another on a multi-floor installation served out of one telecom room (or a multi-floor section of a larger building), the patch panel at the end of the installation for a particular floor shall have at least 12 open jacks/slots for future growth on that floor. Also, a new patch panel shall always be started for each new floor. This means if a particular floor has 25 jacks (using 24 port patch panels), the Contractor shall leave the second patch panel with 23 openings and start a fresh patch panel for the next floor.

18. The jack colors in the patch panels shall conform to the same color code scheme listed above for the faceplates.

19. In each Telecom Closet there shall be a floor plan of that floor laminated and mounted on the wall. That floor plan diagram shall show all of the room numbers served by that Telecom Closet and the locations of each faceplate in each room served by that Telecom Closet. The jack numbers of each faceplate location shall be indicated on the floor plan.

telecommunications system is complete and operational. 3. Contractor shall complete and submit the Certificate of System Demonstration.

D. After completion, comprehensive As-Builts shall be created and posted in each Telecom Room

within 3 days.

1. Two hard copies shall be created for each Telecom Room detailing the entire structured cabling plant and labeling scheme after installation. One hard copy shall consist of (at a minimum) the Telecom plans marked with permanent ink to show the labeling used at each field location, and a table or spreadsheet (for example, an 8 ½” x 11” printed Excel file) that lists all the patch panel jacks in a column sequentially, followed by a cross reference column identifying the room name/number that the corresponding jack is in. This is the only part of the labeling process in which room name/numbers are acceptable. The second hard copy shall be identical to the first one. One copy shall be posted in each corresponding Telecom Room, and the other copy shall be submitted to the Design Professional for review according to the submittal process identified in the shop drawing paragraph of Specification Section 27 0010. This second copy shall then be forwarded to Owner.

2. An electronic copy of the As-Builts shall be created and submitted to the Design Professional who will then provide to the owner. Acceptable format is PDF.
