1. Introduction. 1.1. APPLICATION OF THIS SPECIFICATION DOCUMENT. This specification is for the installation of Communications Cabling and associated infrastructure in the construction of new buildings and building renovations for the University of Wollongong Campuses. This Standard has four objectives:

• To ensure delivery of reliable and robust high speed high bandwidth communications services to the UOW community for teaching & research.

• To ensure the installation of this network is implemented as cost effectively as possible and to ensure downward pressure on future ongoing operational and maintenance issues and new building projects.

• To ensure UOW meets its obligations under the Telecommunications Act as regulated by the Australian Communications & Media Authority under the Australian standard AS/CA S009:2013.

1.2. EXPECTED AUDIENCE. As a reference document, it is intended to provide guidance to the following:

• Installation contractors and technicians. • Design Consultants.

1.3. PANDUIT CERTIFICATION. The University requires Communications Outlet cabling to be installed and certified to the Panduit certification and warranty process. The University MUST receive the relevant certification and warranty documentation. IMTS needs to sight those forms as evidence of the quality and performance of the outlet cabling system.


1.4. DOCUMENTATION FROM CONSTRUCTION WORK. To facilitate the delivery of IT services, both during and at completion of building works, the following documents are to be provided to IMTS:

• TCA1 form (ACMA regulatory compliance document). The University requires that an ACMA registered installer install all communications cabling and that the cabling is installed in according to appropriate standards and rules. At the end of installation, and prior to delivery of communications services, the installer MUST lodge an ACMA TCA1 form with the University to show the cabling plant is compliant with the regulatory authority’s framework. The IMTS department needs to sight the TCA-1 form as an indication that services are permitted to be delivered over the cabling.

• As-Built Drawings. ‘As-Built’ drawings MUST be provided to IMTS at the completion of

works and prior to implementation of services delivery. As-Built drawings must show the location and unique identification number of each individual communications outlet and the location of all underground conduit and pit works.

• Test Results. The University requires the use of specialised testing/certification equipment to verify the correct installation and performance of all copper and fibre-optic cables.

o Copper cables: Test results must be to TIA Cat 6 Perm. Link (+All) and/or TIA Cat 6A Perm. Link (+All).

o Fibre cables: Refer to section 2.6.3.1 o Earth test Results: jpg image from tester is acceptable, see below

2. Installation Specifications. 2.1. EXTERNAL CABLING RETICULATION SYSTEMS (UNDERGROUND CONDUITS). 2.1.1. EXCLUSIONS FROM UNDERGROUND CABLING. Non-compliant services, as defined in standard AS/ACIF S-009, MUST be excluded from all Communications infrastructure, conduits and reticulation paths. 2.1.2. AERIAL CABLING. The use of aerial cabling is not permitted. 2.1.3. CABLE PITS. All underground pits are to be one of the following: 2.1.3.1. PRE-FORMED PITS. All pre-formed pits for telecommunications are to be industry standard pits where the pit body is made from either plastic or concrete and the lid is made from concrete.

Figure 1: Typical pre-formed pit.


2.1.3.2. PITS THAT ARE CONSTRUCTED ON SITE. All pits that are constructed on location are to have a concrete bottom, which is a minimum of 50mm thick, brickwork sides and provided with a pre-cast concrete or metal lid.

Figure 2: Cable pit that is constructed in situ.

2.1.3.3. LOAD RATINGS FOR PITS. Load rating for pits in undeveloped areas and paths used solely for foot traffic. Pits used in these areas are to be fitted with pits rated at “Class A” or “Class B” as defined in AS-3996. Load rating for roads and vehicular paths. Pits used in these areas are to be fitted with pit-lids rated as “Class C” as defined in AS-3996. 2.1.3.4. CAPACITY OF CABLE PITS. The method used at the University of Wollongong to determine the appropriate size of cable pit for the size and number of conduits entering pit. The method is based on calculating what we have termed a pit access area from the length of the pit and the width of the pit multiplied together. The length, in metres and parts of a metre, is to be multiplied with the width, in metres and parts of a metre, to form a pit access area in square metres. The following tables are then to be applied to determine the number of conduits the pit can support.

Figure 3: Dimensions of pit to determine access area calculation.


Access area = Length x Width (all units in metres)

2.1.4. UNDERGROUND CONDUITS. The following standards are to apply to the provision of underground conduits. 2.1.4.1. CONDUIT SPECIFICATIONS.

• The sizes and numbers of new underground conduits are to provide 90% spare capacity for future expansion and the establishment of backbone runs may require further spare capacity.

• Backbone Conduits are to be a minimum of 100mm. • External Equipment conduits (eg. CCTV poles, traffic counters) are to be a minimum of

50mm. • Road Crossings are to be a minimum of two 100mm conduits and are to terminate in a

square 600mm by 600mm Communications Pit on both sides of the road.


2.1.4.2. CAPACITY OF CONDUITS. The following table showing the capacity of various conduit sizes for different size cables is to be used as a guide for cable installations.

2.1.4.3. CONDUIT COLOUR. All conduits are to be coloured white in accordance with AS/ACIF S009 standard. 2.1.4.4. CONDUIT CONSTRUCTION. For general underground installation, conduits are to have a rating of “Medium Duty” as specified in AS-2053.2. For installation under roadways and other high-load circumstances, the conduits are to have a rating of “Heavy Duty” as specified in AS-2053.2. Where a different size conduit has been specified, or a different rating has been referred to, in the documentation for a specific project, the specifications mentioned in that project document, will override the specifications listed here.

2.1.4.5. EXPOSED EXTERNAL CONDUITS. For external applications where a conduit is required to be in an exposed position such as would be the case when fixed to the side of a bridge, the exposed section of conduit is to be made from 100mm Dia. Galvanised steel pipe and have a minimum wall thickness of 3mm. 2.1.4.6. INSTALLED DEPTH OF CONDUIT RUNS. Conduits are to be inserted at a minimum depth of 400mm under pedestrian traffic areas and 600mm under roads, vehicular paths and undeveloped areas. Where easements are defined, conduits are to be located within easement and as defined for telecommunications and data services. 2.1.4.7. EXPOSED SECTIONS. Where conduit runs are exposed, PVC constructed pipes are not to be used and screwed metal pipes are to be used. The transition from PVC pipes to metal pipes is to be made at a cable pit.


2.1.4.8. PULL CORDS. All conduit runs are to be provided with a pull cord. Pull cords are to be made from material that is immune from corrosion and rotting such as nylon or polyester. 2.1.4.9. BUILDING ENTRIES. Underground / external conduits must not have any 90 degree / right angle bends entering the building or along the conduit path. All conduit angles must be 45 degrees or less. There must always be provision to prevent or minimise the chance of water flowing from conduit system into building at the building entry from the conduit system. This is to be implemented by making the external cabling pit 300mm lower than the conduit entry in the building.

2.1.4.10. INGRESS OF WATER AND DRAINAGE. Cable pits are to be installed completely level or slightly proud of surrounding ground level to minimise the ingress of water into pit. Every pit is to have a drainage hole, located in the bottom of pit. 2.1.4.11. INTERFACING CONDUITS WITH CABLING PITS. For cabling pits that are less than 500mm in width, conduits are to enter pit only at ends of pit. For large square and rectangular pits, conduits are allowed to enter pit directly from all directions.

2.2.5.6. MOUNTING OF OUTLET PLATES AND BOXES.

Outlets are NOT to be mounted on or in any of the following: • Under-desk basket tray • Cabling pathway cable tray • Any item of furniture

Sockets are to be oriented so that the connecting pins are located at the top of socket. Outlets supplying services to height adjustable desks or lab benches are to be affixed to a wall or services pole near to the desk or lab bench and an RJ45 CAT.6A lead of suitable length installed from the outlet to the desktop or benchtop using suitable under bench basket specific for this purpose where required. Refer to picture below.


2.2.5.7 MOUNTING OF OUTLETS IN CEILING SPACES. This relates to the installation of Outlets to service CCTV cameras, Wireless Access Points and other equipment that needs to be located within a ceiling space.

• All outlets are to be affixed to a permanent structure such as a slab ceiling or column or wall protruding through the ceiling space to the floor above.

• Where there is no slab floor above, ie the roof structure only, then the outlet is to be installed in a fully enclosed box and this is to suspended from the roof structure by a metal chain support and is to no higher than 600mm above the gyprock or grid ceiling.

2.2.5.8. ACCESS TO OUTLET. Where an outlet is located above fixed ceiling, provision for access needs to be provided. We suggest the use of access-hatch to achieve this. 2.2.5.09. ADDITIONAL LABELLING. Outlets located in ceiling spaces are to be provided with standard labelling. In addition to this an additional label fixed to the ceiling grid or access-hatch surround is also required.

2.2.5.10. GUIDELINES FOR NUMBER OF OUTLETS TO USERS.

2.3. COMMUNICATIONS ROOMS.

General specifications A number of telecom rooms will be required in a building depending on its characteristics. The following room types are required and the details of these rooms are shown below:

• Communications rooms • Floor Communications closets

In multi-storey buildings the telecom rooms should be vertically aligned and linked by a shared containment system. This containment system must not reduce the minimum requested space. All telecom rooms must be dedicated to the use of UOW. The rooms must be easily accessible to UOW personnel 24 hours a day and secured from unauthorized entry refer to 2.4.8 below.

Telecom rooms must not be in close proximity to any sources of the following:

• heat • moisture • corrosive atmospheric or environmental conditions • high voltages • radio frequency interference (RFI) • electro-magnetic interference (EMI)


The rooms must not be directly beneath or next to wet areas such as:

• showers • washrooms • garbage areas

The rooms should be clean and free from any items not directly related to the specifications in this document such as:

• non-UOW equipment • utility pipes and ducting • sprinkler systems • windows

All communication spaces and pathways must be pest controlled using best available practices. It should be noted that rodents often gnaw cables resulting in damage and the potential for service disruption. Hence, special attention should be given to preventing rodents from entering telecom spaces and pathways. This could involve the installation of covers to cable trays; if this is the case these covers must be removable to allow for the installation of additional cables. The walls, floor, and ceiling should be painted and treated with anti-dust and anti-static coating to minimize dust and static electricity. Walls and ceilings shall receive primer and finish coat of light colour paint. In order to move equipment into and out of communications rooms, all entrances must not be smaller than 900mm x 2100mm (WxH)

Safety and other considerations All telecom rooms must comply with AS/CA S009:2009. Notwithstanding this, it is expected that the following will be provided:

• all telecom spaces should be fitted with smoke detectors connected to the building management

• system • all telecom spaces should be fitted with normal and emergency lighting • all containment openings to telecom spaces must be sealed with a regulation fire retardant

material • all doors to telecom rooms must be of solid wood core or steel construction, fire retardant

with a • minimum rating of 2 hours. • all doors to telecom rooms must be outward opening with an automatic door closer system

fitted • on the hinged edge • all doors to telecom rooms must be labelled. • rooms must be free from contaminants and pollutants. • all telecom rooms should have basic firefighting provision of handheld CO2 cylinder type

extinguishers


• if the builder has any concerns over safety, especially fire protection and suppression systems, this should be raised with UOW at the design stage

Temperature and humidity All telecom rooms must be maintained at 20°C ± 3°C and the relative humidity at 50% ± 10%. However, floor telecom closets can be maintained within 20°C to 30°C temperature range. Refer to 2.3.7 below. 2.3.1. PROVISIONING REQUIRED FOR COMMUNICATIONS ROOMS.

Distributor rooms are to provide for the following items of infrastructure as required.

• Equipment Distributor racks as required. • Outlet Distributor racks as required. • Krone MDF as required.

2.3.2. EXCLUSIONS FROM COMMUNICATIONS ROOMS. It is required that all services involving liquids are intended to be excluded from reticulation in Distributor rooms. Where such exclusion is not possible, then the provision of drip-trays and splash-guards is required. 2.3.3. ACCESS AND CLEARANCES FOR EQUIPMENT RACKS. A Communications space needs to provide all the required clearances as noted below:

Figure 6: Layout and clearances for Communications Room Distributor Racks.


2.3.4. ACCESS AND CLEARANCES FOR KRONE FRAMES.

A Krone frame is to have clearances no less than as indicated below:

Figure 7: Clearances required for Building Distributor Consolidation Frame.

2.3.5. SURFACE FINISHES FOR COMMUNICATIONS ROOMS. • All ceilings are to be finished in a matt white painted finish. • All walls are to be finished in a white or light grey matt painted finish. • For closets and small rooms less than 6m2 floor area, the floors should be finished in a

suitable gloss paint finish. In larger rooms the floor is to be finished in a suitable vinyl covering.

2.3.6. LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS FOR DISTRIBUTOR ROOMS. All spaces are to be provided with lighting adequate for service needs.

2.3.7. COOLING AND VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS FOR COMMUNICATIONS ROOMS.

• For maximum life of active equipment, Distributor rooms need to operate between 17-degrees and 23-degrees. This may require the provision of active cooling or active ventilation of the spaces.

• Where active A/C units are used, the issue of reliability should be addressed by the adoption of redundant A/C units or other mechanisms.

• To develop an appropriate size for cooling systems, IMTS are able to supply indicative heat-load numbers for the equipment to be installed.


2.3.8. CONFINING NOISE FROM COMMUNICATIONS ROOMS. The fan noise from equipment used in Distributor spaces is unsuitable for office and teaching environments. As such Distributor spaces need to be constructed so as to minimise the egress of noise and/or be suitably located to minimise the transmission of noise into such areas. 2.3.9. SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR COMMUNICATIONS ROOMS. All telecommunications spaces are to be secured with lockable doors. IMTS has a preference for the use of active electronic access to Distributor rooms. As a fall-back option, IMTS will consider the use of “IMTS” keyed locks to these spaces. For rooms and spaces used only for cable reticulation, it is not considered necessary for electronic access to be used. Locks keyed to “IMTS” are sufficient for this.

2.4. EQUIPMENT RACKS IN COMMUNICATIONS ROOMS. 2.4.1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLING EQUIPMENT RACKS.

• Racks are to be installed with clearances as specified for Communications Rooms (2.3.3 above). • Racks are to be installed side by side in rows beginning from the left hand side of the room and

600mm from the wall. • Racks are to be as specified by IMTS engineers to meet the equipment needs of specific projects.

2.4.2. RETICULATION AT RACKS. Reticulation to racks is to be with Legrand Cablofil overhead basket tray. We require the cable tray to sit across the top of the rack, from side to side, and have a nominal clearance of 100mm between the top of the rack and the bottom of the rack. The tray is to have a nominal width of 600mm and is to be set back by 220mm from front of rack to allow cables to drop into the top of the cable-management verticals as well as allowing fibre-optic cables to be dropped down the back of the racks.

Figure 8: Organising cabling from tray down to racks.


2.4.3. PROVISION OF POWER AT DISTRIBUTOR RACKS. The standard power outlet to Distributor Racks is a 20A power outlets, which are suspended from above at a nominal height of 400mm at the rear corner posts of the racks.

Figure 9: Standard method of providing power to racks.

• 4 power outlets are to be installed per rack. Confirmation by IMTS is recommended. • All 20A power outlets use sockets that fit angled flat pins and are compatible with 15A

plugs. • An additional 10A double power outlet to be installed on wall at end of racks. This is to

provide power for tools and diagnostic equipment. • Power outlets are to be dropped behind the vertical cable managers on either side of the

rear of the racks so as not to interfere with installation of equipment in the racks.

2.4.4. PROVIDING EARTH CONNECTIONS FOR RACKS.

All equipment racks are required to be earthed to reduce risk to safety and to minimise chance of interference to signalling. The installation is to be as follows:

• Panduit Structured Grounding Solution is to be installed. • The earth connection to link strip is to be installed in accordance with the AS3000 standard

and is to be coloured Green/Yellow and a minimum size of 4mm2 CSA. • The earth connection is to be provided on a “link strip” which is to be located within 1.5m

distance from the specified location of equipment racks. • There is to be only one Earth connection point in each Distributor room or server room. • All equipment racks are to be individually connected to the Earth connection point using

Green/Yellow cable of at least 2.5mm2 CSA. The “daisy chaining” of earth cable between racks is not permitted.


2.4.5. LAYOUT OF COMMUNICATION ROOM EQUIPMENT RACKS. Communications Equipment racks are organised in pairs, the first rack is to be devoted to the provision of network ports & backbone connectivity and the second rack, of the pair, is to be devoted to outlet cabling. (See Approved Products for Panduit part numbers)

The Krone frame verticals are to be sequentially identified with single-letter alphabetic identifiers starting with “A” through to “Z”.


2.6. BACK-BONE CABLING. 2.6.1. BUILDING CONSTRUCTIONS.

There are 3 types of building construction that may incorporate inter-building and/or intra-building communications backbone cabling installations:

• New building constructions • Major / Minor building renovations • Tenancy building occupancy.

All backbone cabling for UOW communications networks is to be independent of other tenancy or building owner’s backbone cabling infrastructure unless it is to be used solely for UOW network, is not shared and complies with this Standard. The selection of optical fibre cabling type and size MUST be approved by IMTS during the design phase to ensure that the selection has the capacity to deliver all network and telecommunications requirements of the UOW network. Construction of a new building will require the installation of two external diverse cable routes from existing communications pits to new pits just outside the building and from there into the building. Installation of new routes will be detailed in the project Specification. Written approval by IMTS is required prior to the design completion or installation of new external communications routes.

2.6.2. EXTERNAL COPPER CABLE SPECIFICATIONS. All cables installed in under-ground conduits are to be under-ground rated with Nylon sheath and “gel” filled for moisture exclusion. All copper campus backbone cables are to comply with regulatory standard AS/CA S008.

Construction of a new building will require the installation of two external diverse cable routes from existing communications pits to new pits just outside the building and from there into the building.

Installation of new routes will be detailed in the project Specification. Written approval by IMTS is required prior to the design completion or installation of new external communications routes.

As a general principle, in addition to the engineering requirements to ensure the route and pits are fit for purpose, the following guidelines are to be followed:

• New external communications routes are to be documented in full and submitted for written approval to IMTS.

• A minimum of 2 x 100mm white conduits are to be installed at the two entry points to the building.

• A draw rope is to be left in every conduit. • If a depth has not been specified, the minimum depth from the ground surface to the top of

the conduit is 300mm in non-trafficable areas and 500mm for trafficable areas. • Off road areas where vehicles may mount kerbs or where ride-on mowers are used is

considered trafficable. If in doubt, trafficable pits and lids are to be installed. • Pits are not to be installed on UOW Campus roadways or in any location that will necessitate

partial road closures when opened or expose staff working in/near the pit to increased risk.


• Trenches will be backfilled with fine sand, such that the sand provides a minimum 100mm bed around the entire circumference of the installed conduit, and ACMA approved PVC marker tape is to be laid on top of the sand prior to filling in the trench (minimum 150mm above conduit).

• Trenches will be restored by filling and compacting, all surfaces restored to original condition. • Class D Pits and pit lids are required in trafficable areas. Pits and pit lids are to be suitable

for the location and pits and pit lids sized appropriately. • Pit lids (especially concrete filled) are to be no larger than 900mm x 450mm and preferably

450mm x450mm. Exact dimensions will vary depending on the installation. • To allow drainage of the pit, drainage holes shall be provided and the pit shall be bedded on

100mm of fine sand a layer of permeable, durable, underlay 150mm of gravel. When installing small pits, all conduits will enter the through the ends (sides with the shortest walls).

• Approved safety barriers will guard all open trenches. • As-built drawings are to be submitted to IMTS. The drawings should include the location of

the route, conduit depth, number and size of installed conduits, pit locations and size. • All external optical fibre and copper backbone cables are to have an additional label and/or

identification plate attached to cables within the source communications room, at the point of exit from the source building, at every external pit along the route, within the conduit or pit just outside the destination building and at the closest visible location just inside the destination building.

• The use of in-line joints for copper backbone cables is purely at the discretion of the IMTS Department. Any decision to deploy in-line joints for repair of cables or for new installation will be based on length of runs, critical nature of cable and provision allowed for joints in infrastructure.

2.6.3. INTERNAL BACKBONE COPPER CABLES TO COMMUNICATIONS RACK/S.

• Cables are to be implemented as one or more 25-pair cables. Cables are to be terminated at Krone Consolidation frame at Building Distributor and racks in the Communications Room.

• At racks, cables are to be terminated on panels fitted with 24 8-way modular (RJ45) sockets. Sockets are to be considered as numbered 1 to 24 left to right.

• It is a requirement for the cable to be firmly attached to the patch-panel and is not rely on fixing to the rack for support.

2.6.3.1. REQUIREMENTS FOR TESTING COPPER BACKBONE CABLES. We require that one of the final steps in the installation of a copper trunk cable is that each pair within the cable is tested to ensure that the resistance of each wire is within acceptable limits and that there are no short circuits, broken wires and that the pair sequence is the same at both ends of the cable.


2.6.3.2. TEST SPECIFICATIONS FOR COPPER BACKBONE CABLES. • Resistance of wires. The resistance of each wire in the cable is to be measured and the

result is to be less or equal to the values in the table below when that value has been adjusted for the actual cable length.

• Short circuits. Each wire within the cable is to be tested to ensure that it is insulated from every other wire in the cable.

2.6.4. FIBRE-OPTIC CABLES TO CAMPUS BACKBONE NETWORK.

• All cables installed in under-ground conduits are to be under-ground rated with Nylon sheath and with “gel” moisture exclusion at the fibres.

• Types of Fibre Optic cables to be used for Backbone Cabling: • OS2 is to be used for external underground installations and • OS1a is to be used for internal building installations • OM4 is to be used only for internal building installations where specified as a

requirement by IMTS engineers.

NOTE: Maximum distance of OM4 cable is to be no more than 125m

• All Optical Fibre types are to be approved by IMTS engineers to ensure transmission characteristics meet the requirements of the network and telecommunications architecture to which they will be providing inter-connectivity with.

• Acceptable performance characteristics for Single-mode Fibre is a total light loss that is less than 0.8dB loss allowance for connectors plus an allowance of 0.5dB/Km at 1310nm wavelength or an allowance of 0.3dB/Km at 1550nm wavelength.

• Where in-line fusion-spliced joints are used, the permissible additional loss, per fusion splice, is to be no greater than 0.2dB per joint.

2.6.4.1. RETICULATION OF FIBRE-OPTIC CABLES AT DISTRIBUTORS. • The optical fibre trays are to be from the attached Approved Products section and are to

have a capacity for the termination of 48 optical fibres. The two panels in the optical fibre trays are to be numbered 1-12 for panel 1 and 13-24 for panel 2 for LC duplex connections as described above in 2.6.4.6. Cables are not allowed to be split across multiple optical fibre trays.

• Allocation of optical fibre cable termination locations on the optical fibre trays are to be assigned by IMTS network engineers prior to termination.

• Cable entry to patch panel is always to be from the back of the rack and labelled with permanent label system indicating cable id details (ie where to / from).


Figure 13: Reticulation of fibre cable into fibre patch panel.

• Cables are to be securely attached to the patch panel and are to rely solely on the panel for

support. The cable can be tied to rack for some additional support but it has to be possible to separate the cable from the rack and move the patch panel.

• An allowance of slack is to be allowed for each fibre-optic cable. This allowance is to be between 4 metres and 6 metres and is to be positioned either in the associated rear vertical cable manager of the rack or on the top of the cable tray installed at the top of the rack/s.

All fibres within all cables are to be tested as part of the installation and prior to acceptance by the university.

2.6.4.2. OPTIC FIBRE TERMINATIONS.

• All fibre-optic cables terminated within Communications Rooms are to be done so within rack-mounted optical fibre trays. Refer to the approved products list.

• Multi-mode cables (Optic fibres with 62.5 and 50 micron “eye”) and standard single-mode cables (Optic fibres with 9 micron “eye”) are to be terminated in standard LC connectors.

• Special dispersion-modified single-mode fibres are to be terminated in angle-polished SC connectors.

• The through-adapters used in the termination panels are to be colour coded as follows: • BLUE : Single Mode (OS1/OS2) • GREEN : Single Mode (Angled polished) • AQUA : Multi-Mode (OM3/OM4) • BEIGE: Multi-Mode (OM!)

• For organising termination of multi-mode and standard single-mode fibre optic cables at LC connectors, the terminations are to be organised as shown in following diagram. Note that cables are to be organised into End-A and End-B to provide for automatic polarity cross-over.


Figure 14: Arrangement of fibres at front of fibre patch panel with LC connectors.

2.6.4.3. IN-LINE JOINTS IN FIBRE-OPTIC CABLES. The use of in-line joints for fibre-optic cables is purely at the discretion of IMTS. Any decision to deploy in-line joints for repair of cables or for new installation will be based on length of runs, critical nature of cable and provision allowed for joints in infrastructure.

2.6.4.4. FIBRE OPTIC TESTING. We require that one of the final steps in the installation of a fibre optic cable is to test each terminated fibre within that cable after termination has been completed. Each fibre is to be tested from the through-adaptor in the patch panel at one end of the cable to the through-adaptor in the patch panel at the other end of the cable. Each fibre is to be tested for how much light is attenuated when traversing it as well as to ensure that the sequence of fibres is the same at both ends of the cable.

Test Cable Type

ISO/IEC 14763-3 2014 OS2, OM4


2.6.4.5. TESTING SPECIFICATIONS. The following specifications are to be applied to optic fibre tests.

• Multi-mode fibres are to be tested at both the 800 nanometres wavelength and the 1300 nanometres wavelength.

• Single-mode fibres are to be tested at both the 1300 nanometres wavelength and the 1550 nanometres wavelength.

2.6.4.6. PROVISION WHERE FUSION-SPLICING IS USED.

When fusion splicing has been used as part of the installation there is to be a minimum of 7 days allowance from when the last splice was installed and when the final testing of that fibre is undertaken.

2.6.4.7. TESTING METHODS.

The preferred method of testing is to use a light source and light meter combination to measure the exact loss of the fibre. An optical time-domain reflectometer can also be used to measure the loss, however it is not regarded to be as accurate or reliable as the use of a light source and light meter combination. It is understood that loss can sometimes be dependent on the direction of the flow of light. As a result it is required that all fibres be tested with light flowing in both directions and that the accepted result will be the highest of the loss readings.


2.7. EDGE TECHNOLOGY & PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT INSTALLATIONS

This equipment refers those ICT devices such as CCTV cameras, Wireless Access Points, etc.

2.7.1. INSTALLATION OF WIRELESS ACCESS-POINTS.

• The Wireless access-points used for general Wireless network access are designed for use in a horizontal orientation, facing down.

with IMTS engineers so that technical aspects and safety are given priority.

2.7.2. OUTDOOR / EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION SPACE/S.

By utilizing Industrial Ethernet, an Outdoor Communication Space provides communications and IEEE 802.3 series Power over Ethernet (POE) to IP based devices.

• UOW have a specifically designed external cabinet with manufacturer B&R. The B&R part number for this is XB-493095. Refer to the ‘Approved Products’ section of this Specification. This cabinet comes with specific cut out panels for DIN rail mountings but also comes with the standard 19” rack rail assembly. This 19’ rack assembly is to be supplied to IMTS as part of the installation.

• Confirmation of which system (ie DIN or 19”) is to be employed in the cabinet must be sought from IMTS to ensure the type of equipment that IMTS is installing is compatible.


2.7.3. CCTV.

• All CCTV cameras are to be PoE installations serviced by CAT6A cabling. Alternatives to this must be approved by IMTS prior to design completion.

• Each internal building CCTV camera is to be provided with a single CAT6A communications outlet.

http://www.2n.cz/en/


2.8. LABELLING & IDENTIFICATION

2.8. LABELLING AND IDENTIFICATION. Traffolyte labelling is NOT to be used to label any communications infrastructure. 2.8.1. COMMUNICATIONS ROOMS. All communications rooms are to be assigned a unique identifier for the building they service. All identifiers are to be in the form:

LN Where each field in the identifier, ‘L’ and ‘N’, are defined as follows:

L Is a field that identifies which floor level that the communications room is located on. The floor level is that assigned by the university and is to be in the form “G” for ground floor, “1’ for first floor, “2” for second floor, etc.

N Is a sequential letter identifier for the communications room that is unique within each building level and is to be in the form “A”, “B”, “C”, etc.

An example of a communications room identifier would be “GA” which would be a space located on the ground floor of a building and is the first space and hence the letter “A”.

2.8.1.2 EQUIPMENT RACKS. All racks are to be sequentially identified with a single letter starting at “A” through to “Z”. Sequence is to start at Left end of row of racks. Where there is more than a single row of racks, sequence for additional row is to continue from end of previous row. 2.8.2. BUILDING BACKBONE CABLES (INTERNAL CABLES). This numbering system is to be used for building backbone cables and other cables that are confined within a single building. Horizontal cabling (communications outlet cables) is excluded from this system. The cables will be marked using a numbering scheme as follows.

I-A-B-N I Is a fixed designator “I” which indicates that this is an internal cable. A Refers to Comms Room id of first end of cable. B Refers to Comms Room id of second end of cable. N Refers to sequential number of cable.

An example of the numbering convention would be I-GA-1A-2 which would describe a cable from communications room GA to communications room 1A and is the second cable run between those locations.


Where an internal backbone cable runs between a comms room and another room the ‘other room’ shall be identified as per its building room number on the FMD drawing plan. 2.8.3. CAMPUS BACKBONE CABLES (EXTERNAL CABLES).

This numbering system is to be used for campus backbone cables and other cables where the ends are in separate buildings. The cables will be marked using a numbering scheme as follows.

E-A-B-N E Is a fixed designator “E” which indicates that this is an external cable. A Refers to the building number at the first end of the cable. B Refers to the building number of the second end of the cable. N Refers to the sequential number of the cable.

To maintain consistency in numbering, the building with the lowest number of the two buildings will be used for the A designation (first field), the other higher numbered building will be used for the B designation (second field). An example of the numbering convention would be E-15-17-1 which would describe a cable from building 15 to building 17 and is the first cable between those locations. All external backbone cables are to be numbered and clearly marked at both ends and at each external underground pit that the cable passes through using a metal tag with numbers stamped or engraved into the surface and secured with a metal band.

The label or tag is to be attached to the cable sheath at a distance between 20mm and 1500mm from end of sheath where it will be most visible.

2.8.4. AARNET CARRIER LICENSE.

This numbering system is to be used for backbone cables that are run external to the sites and are allowed only through coverage of the AARNet carrier license. To provide differentiation for this cabling, it has been decided to pre-fix the numbering with a “C”. As such, the cables will be marked using the following numbering scheme.

C-A-B-N C Is a fixed designator “C” which indicates that this is a cable installed under the AARNet carrier

license. A This refers to the originating end of the cable. This is normally expected to be a building

number under the University numbering scheme but it is understood that this may also be a splicing pit reference.

B This refers to the destination end of the cable. The destination end is expected to be referred to in one of three ways, it can be a reference to an external splicing pit, it can be a reference to the destination site, or it can be a building reference if the cable terminates within the building and the building number is unique.


N This is a numerical index to the cable and allows for there to be more than one cable with this source and destination.

As examples of this approach, consider C-17-CP020-1 which refers to a cable from building 17 to splice pit CP020. Another example would be C-15-CE-1 which refers to a cable from building 15 to Campus East and does not terminate in a building there. 2.8.5. COMMUNICATIONS OUTLETS. The following convention is to be used at all times for allocating unique identifiers for telecommunications outlets.

CC.NNN Where each field in the identifier is as follows:

CC Is a field that identifies which communications room the outlet is wired back to. NNN Is a unique numerical field that identifies the outlet by where it is terminated in the

Communications Room patch panel An example of an outlet identifier would be “GA.103” which identifies an outlet terminated in Communications Room GA on patch panel outlet 103 in the Communications Rack housing the outlet patch panels. 2.8.6. KRONE FRAMES. All cables terminated at Krone frames are to be written up in standard Kroner record sheets. Additional sheets are to be supplied as required. For new installations, a record book is to be provided a frame. It is responsibility of installer to ensure all cabling at Krone frame is written up. 2.8.7. FIBRE-OPTIC & COPPER BACKBONE CABLES AT RACKS. All fibre-optic & copper backbone cables terminated at racks are to be written up in on IMTS provided record sheets. It is responsibility of installer to ensure that cables are written up and that book of sheets is left at racks. 2.8.8. LABELLING ON FIBRE-OPTIC PATCH PANELS. The termination enclosures and patch panels for fibre optic cables are to be each assigned with a unique sequential identifier of the form “A”, “B”, “C”, etc. Each panel is to be clearly marked with the assigned identifier. On the panel, the sequence of the fibres is to be marked from 1 to 24.

Figure 16: Identifying optic-fibre trunk cable on patch panel.


2.8.9. LABELLING OF ANALOGUE SERVICES PANEL AT COMMS ROOM EQUIPMENT RACK.

For labelling of copper backbone cables, the cable identifier is to be shown at the Top-Left of the termination panel. There will need to be identification of where the pairs of the cable appear.
