PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION OF EXCAVATION OR WATER USE (PROJECT NO./CONTRACT NO./TITLE, ETC.) AREA OF LAND DISTURBANCE = _________ ACRES DPW Point Of Contact:_______________________________________ Note: Permit Expires After 30 Days of Approved Start Date EXCAVATION I propose to dig at the locations depicted in the attached map, sketch, or overlay (For military operations, plot digging locations on transparent

overlays that include two grid register marks using standard 1:50,000 topographic maps). I understand that the proposed digging or excavation is a requirement within the scope of work to be accomplished. I will not dig or excavate

before receiving written approval from the Directorate of Public Works (DPW). I understand my responsibilities and obligations pursuant to safety, property damage, personal injury, and life-threatening hazards associated with digging in the vicinity of underground utilities (including utilities such as electrical cables and pipes containing natural gas, water, sewer, liquefied fuels, and refrigerants). Severe injuries, death, and extensive property damage may occur as a result of digging through underground utilities. I am responsible for damages caused to persons or property as a result of my fault or negligence. If the exact locations of underground utilities are unknown, I will perform whatever work is necessary to determine exact locations and avoid damaging utilities.

Unless otherwise permitted, I will not excavate within 50 meters of streams, natural drains, roads, and tank trails. I will not dig or deposit excavated spoil within 10 meters of trees.

If archaeological resources (arrowheads, charcoal, bones, etc.) are discovered during excavation, I or my representative will notify DPW, 287-1092, and suspend disturbance of the finding until DPW issues guidance.

Upon completion, I will restore the excavation site including backfilling, reshaping, and seeding to conform to surrounding topography. For construction activities that will result in land disturbance (clearing, grading or excavating) of one acre or more, or that are part of a larger

common plan of development that will ultimately disturb one or more acres of land, I will comply with the provisions of the TPDES General Permit, TXR150000, to discharge storm water from construction sites, and I will coordinate with DPW-Environmental Division, 287-6499.

WATER USE I propose to take surface water from the location depicted in the attached map, sketch, or overlay. Include dates and amounts of proposed water

use. I understand that the proposed water supply point is a requirement within the scope of work to be accomplished. I will not divert or draw any

water before receiving written approval from the Directorate of Public Works (DPW). I understand that in addition to this permit, a Temporary Water Use Permit may be required from TCEQ, depending on the proposed water use.

Planting and Care of Trees and Shrubs 1. Locate and mark planting sites and apply for an approved excavation permit (FH 420-X10). A permit is required prior to any digging on Fort Hood and necessary to prevent damage to the underground utility systems. 2. Select the right plants for the right locations. Consider future plant size in relation to conflict with sidewalks, drives, buildings, streets, and overhead utility lines. See the Approved Plant List for guidance on plant heights. 3. Locate and dig holes so that the hole is two to three times the diameter of the container and no deeper than the container. Keep all original topsoil for backfilling. Be certain that hole has rough and uneven edges and is irregular in size, as this will encourage the new roots to spread and not become root-bound within the hole. Plant only as deep as the level of the dirt in the original pot; planting too deeply may kill the plant. See attached diagram. 4. Always handle plants by the container or the ball, never by the stems, as this will damage the plant. If the plant is root-bound, make two cuts across the bottom layer of roots and several cuts along the sides to loosen the roots. 5. Set the plant in the hole vertically and remove the container or the burlap and wire. Backfill only with the original soil. Do not backfill with compost, peat moss, or other materials. Add one third of backfill soil at a time; tamp very lightly and use slow-running water to settle the soil and help secure the plant. Repeat this process until the hole is full and thoroughly watered. 6. It is recommended that you install a landscape fabric. Place fabric beneath edging such that it covers the entire surface of the bed. Use a fabric, which allows air and water to penetrate and restricts weeds, but do NOT use a solid plastic film. 7. If desired, you may install edging. Metal edging, installed 4 inches below the surface and 2 inches above, is preferred because it will help to keep grass from invading into the planting area. However, stone edging, installed no more than one high, may be installed around individual trees or around shrub beds. 8. Place a 3- to 4-inch-thick layer of mulch around all plants to keep them free of weeds and grass. Use only shredded hardwood mulch, hardwood chips, or cedar mulch. Do not use pine bark mulch. Do not use rock of any type instead of mulch. For planting beds, mulch the entire bed. For individual plantings of trees or shrubs, mulch 2 to 3 feet around the trunk in every direction. 9. For trees, do not use tree stakes or guy wires of any kind. These actually weaken trees. Also, do not wrap any material around the base of the trunk. These encourage problems with insects and diseases. Do not prune trees and shrubs at planting time. Do not paint trees. The only exception to the no staking rule is for very large (greater than 4

1

Page 123

inch trunk) balled and burlapped trees. These trees may be staked for a period not to exceed 2 years; after which time, all stakes and guy wires must be removed. 10. Do not plant trees and shrubs without a commitment to care for them. Trees and shrubs will need to be watered when rainfall is not sufficient; a rain of at least 1 inch per week is sufficient. When rainfall is less than 1 inch, each tree and shrub will need to be watered once per week during the summer months and every other week during the fall, winter, and spring months for 1 to 2 years. A slow trickle of water from a water hose for one hour is the preferred method of watering. Sprinkling, especially during the summer months, is very wasteful. More water is lost to evaporation rather than soaking into the soil.

CHAPTER 2 THE HORIZONTAL SEGMENT

1. The Design Process

a. The horizontal segment consists of the following elements:

1) The horizontal cable and connection hardware that provide the means for transporting the

telecommunications signals between the building distribution frame and the termination point

in the work area.

2) The horizontal cabling pathways and spaces that distribute and support the horizontal cable

and connecting hardware between the building distribution frame and the work area.

Note: Cables that interconnect in the building distribution frame on the same floor, while physically

horizontal in orientation, are considered part of the riser segment.

b. The following section describes the policies and procedures for design activities on the Fort

Hood Installation:

1) Determine the type and number of modular terminations in the work areas.

2) Identify the types and lengths of cable used in the horizontal segment.

3) Determine termination hardware requirements.

4) Design the structures necessary to support the horizontal cabling.

5) Assign the proper identifying information and mark the terminations in the work area and the

distribution frame.

6) Cable testing procedures.

2. The Type and Number for Modular Terminations

a. Modular Terminations fall into three possible configurations: Basic, Enhanced, and Integrated.

b. Basic Modular Terminations are those that support voice, data or CATV applications. This

consists of a single face plate with one Category 6 Modular Jack supported by one 4-pair unshielded

twisted pair (UTP) Category 6 cable or CATV Jack supported by one 75 ohm cable. A basic outlet can be

used for a wall phone, fax machine, Video or can augment an existing work area for additional data access.

(See Fig. 2-1)

c. Enhanced Modular Terminations are those that support both voice and data applications. They

consist of a single face plate with two Category 6 Modular Jacks supported by two 4-pair (UTP) Category 6

cables. Enhanced outlets are the standard configuration on the Fort Hood Installation.

(See Fig. 2- 2)

d. Integrated Modular Terminations are those that support complex systems including voice, data,

and video applications. They consist of a single face plate with three or more Category 6 Modular

terminations supported by three or more 4-pair UTP Category 6 cables. It can also consist of a combination

of Category 6 Modular terminations and Fiber Optic Terminations supported by single mode optic cables.

FIGURE 2-4

3. Cable Types and Lengths

a. Cable types fall into two categories, UTP (unshielded twisted pair) and single mode fiber optic.

1) UTP cable will be 4-pair, 23 AWG, 100 Ohm, solid conductor that meets ANSI/TIA/EIA

568-C.0 cabling specifications for Category 6 cable, including any/all Amendments and

Bulletins, and must meet specifications and performance requirements. Use only cable that

passed the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) LAN certification program and is labeled with UL

acceptance markings. Plenum cables shall be used at all times.

2) Fiber optic cable will be a minimum of 6-strands, single mode, 8.3/125 micron, tight-

buffered, indoor plenum cable.

b. Cabling and associated components must comply with Article 770 and 800, National Electrical

Code (NEC). Cable installed indoors must meet fire codes. That means the jacket must be rated for fire

resistance, with ratings for general use, riser (a vertical cable feeds flames more than horizontal) and

plenum. Most indoor cables use PVC (polyvinyl chloride) jacketing.

c. All cabling will be UL Listed Type CMP, OFNR or OFNP plenums without conduit. Fiber optic

cabling is designated either OFN-FT4 (Non-plenum) or OFN-FT6 (Plenum). The cable sheath will be

marked with the UL listing. (See table 3-1)

d. Horizontal UTP and fiber optic cables will not be spliced, nor will these cables contain

manufacture splices.

e. Horizontal cables will not be connected directly to telecommunications equipment. Suitable

connection hardware (i.e. patch panel and punch down blocks) and factory-manufactured patch cords must

be used to make these connections.

a. Each Category 6 UTP cable will be terminated at the outlet with a Cat 6, RJ-45 Module, 8P8C,

T-568B. Jacks shall be Ivory, White, or Blue except for special needs circuits such as Secret Internet

Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET), JWICS and others as specified by the NEC. Non-classified Internet

Protocol Router (NIPR) category 6 cable shall be blue unless otherwise specified by the NEC. Velcro shall

be used to manage Category 6 cables.

NEC INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

b. All Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIF) on Fort Hood shall be consistent

with the cabling color scheme below for all new wiring installations being installed. Likewise,

re-installments and modifications to existing wiring will incorporate the color coding specified below.

Finally, all wiring which has reached the end of its service life and is being routinely replaced will follow

this procedure.

1) Green CAT5/CAT6 cable for NIPRNet/UNCLASSIFIED network cabling, systems and

peripherals.

2) Red CAT5/CAT6 cable for SIPRNet/Collateral SECRET network cabling, systems and

peripherals.

3) Yellow CAT5/CAT6 cable for JWICS/TS-SCI network cabling, systems and peripherals.

4) Brown CAT5/CAT6 cable for Collateral SECRET Coalition network cabling, systems and

peripherals.

5) Purple CAT5/CAT6 cable for TS-SCI NSA_Net network cabling, systems and peripherals.

c. Each fiber optic cable will be terminated at the outlet with “ST” type connectors. The face plates

should be configured to allow future installation of at least a minimum of two strands of fiber optic cable. If

another type of connector is required it must be approved by Plans, Network Enterprise Center, Figure 4-2

and 4-3. Below depictions are for discussion only and may vary depending on the requirements. This meets

the I3A Technical Guide requirements.

Figure 4-2 Figure 4-3

d. Each CATV or CCTV will either be terminated utilizing 75-ohm broadband coaxial cable or

single-mode fiber optic cable depending on the system requirements. When coaxial system is installed, the

use of the proper cable type should be ensured. The designer should coordinate with the franchised cable

services provider for proper cable type. Plenum rated cable will be utilized where required. This meets the

I3A Technical Guide requirements.

5. Termination Hardware Required at the Build Distribution Frame

a. Each Category 6 UTP distribution cable from office outlets will be terminated at the building

distribution frame patch panel with a Cat 6, RJ-45, 8P8C, T-568B type module. The patch panel

may come pre-configured with Category 6, RJ-45 Modules or be the type where individual RJ-

45 Modules can be installed Figure 5-1.

February 2013 Page 16 of 67

NEC INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Figure 5-1

b. Both voice and data Category 6, UTP distribution cables are normally terminated in the same

distribution patch panel. Since the designation “Voice” and “Data” is arbitrary there is no difference

between the termination modules within the patch panel. All four pairs will be punched down at the back

side of the patch panel, figure 5-2.

c. Sizing of the building distribution patch panel is dependant on the building Category 6, RJ-45

Modular outlet density. Installation requires a large enough panel to support the building outlet density plus

ten percent to support any future growth.

Figure 5-2 Figure 5-3

d. If security requirements exist, the distribution patch panel and horizontal cable terminations may

be placed in a 19-inch cabinet to provide protection. This will also serve to protect the data equipment and

patching facilities. Otherwise the building distribution patch panel will be installed in an open 19-inch

telecommunications equipment rack.

e. Horizontal fiber optic distribution cable will be terminated within a fiber distribution panel

mounted in the telecommunications equipment rack. Typically “ST” type terminations are required for the

Fort Hood Installation. Terminations shall be accomplished utilizing anaerobic or epoxy adhesive and

polished, and the appropriate fiber optic fan out kit. (See Figure 5-3 below).

Figure 5-4

f. A typical telecommunication equipment rack layout would look similar to the one depicted in

(Figure 5-4 below).

6. Assigning Identifying Numbering for Outlet and BDF

a. Labeling should be done in accordance with TIA/EIA-606 and Network Enterprise Center

Installation Guidelines. Each position on the distribution patch panel must have a unique identifier relative

to the office outlet location. Below are specific guidelines for the Fort Hood Installation and meet or exceed

TIA/EIA-606 and the I3A Technical Guide:

1) Category 6 Distribution Patch Panels will be marked with a letter in sequential order starting

at the top.

2) Category 6 Distribution Patch Panels without markings, the ports shall be sequentially

numbered starting from the top left continue across to the right and down until the last port

has been numbered. This process will start over on the next alphabetized panel.

3) Depending on the number of horizontal fiber distribution patch panels, the above would be

representative of how those would be identified.

4) At the office outlet location, each RJ45 Modular Termination would be marked with the letter

of the corresponding distribution patch panel and a number designator indicating which port

on the distribution patch panel it represents.

5) In the case of larger multi-floor buildings and multiple telecommunications room locations,

the marking would require additional markings to indicate floor and telecommunication room

location. This is explained later in the chapter.

b. All labeling shall be in accordance with EIA/TIA-606-A.

1) The text shall be machine printed, conspicuous, and large enough to be legible. Text may be a

mix of upper and lower case, and should use a font without serifs. Labeling shall be black letters

on white background.

2) Labeling for a single floor distribution frame with multiple distribution panels are depicted

below, Figures 6-1 and 6-2.

c. Labeling for a single floor building with multiple telecommunication rooms would require

identifying which telecommunications room the terminations are connected through. At the outlet

termination, rather than a room number, simply add a letter indicating the part of the building the room is

located. Letters would be North (N), South (S), West (W) or East (E) and placed at the end of the first two

designators. Below figures demonstrates this process:

d. Labeling for a multi-floor and a single or multiple telecommunication room would require

identifying the floor. A number to designate which floor the outlet is on would be amended to either the

first two designators (in the case of a single telecommunications room) or behind the last letter of the

designation. Below figures demonstrates this process:

Figure 6-5

Figure 6-6

Note: The purpose for designating a floor is for TCO and telephone operations use. The work orders can

indicate an exact location for installation of phones and trouble ticket resolution. Just indicating a

Panel, Jack and building telecommunications room location does not indicated which floor the outlet

may be on.

e. Labeling fiber optic terminations at the outlet and distribution panel will follow that of the

Category 6 labeling process with one exception, an “F” will be placed in front of the designation to indicate

the termination is at the fiber optic distribution panel. The figure below depicts an example of fiber optic

termination labeling.

f. Since CATV and CCTV termination are typically free ended in the telecommunications room the

outlet markings at the face plate should reflect the telecommunications room number rather than a unique

identifier.

7. Cross Connecting Voice and Data Outlets

Cross connecting of the voice and data outlets is typically a function performed by Networking and

Telephone Outside Plant personnel at the Fort Hood Installation. Coordination will be made with Plans,

Network Enterprise Center for Utility Control System (UCS), Integrated Commercial Intrusion Detection

System (ICIDS), and elevator cross connects that are required by contractor personnel.

8. Structures to Support the Horizontal Cabling

a. Ladder racks, equipment racks, plywood backboards, equipment cabinets, J hooks, and wire

management for the building distribution frame equipment must be used to keep horizontal cabling and

equipment organized, and allow the cable plant to be installed to TIA/EIA-569-A and I3A Technical Guide

Standards. Cable Trays, Wire Basket, Ladder Racks, J hooks and Enclosed Duct (Raceway) must be used

to route bulk telecommunications cables.

1) Ladder Racks must be 12 inches wide and placed 7 feet above the finished floor to coincide

with the top of telecommunications equipment racks or cabinets. The ladder rack will be

secured to the telecommunications equipment racks and the backboard.

2) Solid Cable Tray or Wire Basket should be used above raised ceiling areas throughout the

building to support bulk telecommunications cabling.

3) Enclosed Duct (Raceway) may be used where space prevents the installation of solid cable

trays.

4) Vertical sections of ladder rack shall be secured to the backboard at locations where riser

cables enter the telecommunications room from a floor installed 4-inch duct or similar access.

Cable management rings may also be used if securely fastened to the backboard, Figure 8-1.

5) Electrical EMT conduit from the termination outlets to the telecommunications room may be

used where space prevents installation of Solid Cable Tray or Enclosed Duct (Raceway). This

is not a recommended method and should be avoided during the design of any new

construction.

b. Horizontal and Vertical cable management brackets must be installed to support cables and

jumpers. Horizontal cable management brackets will be installed between each distribution patch panel

and Vertical cable management will be mounted on the sides of the telecommunications equipment racks,

Figure 8-1. Velcro shall be used to manage cable runs on the back of distribution panels.

9. Cable Testing Procedures

a. General

1) Test and report on each cabling segment separately.

2) Test each end-to-end cable link.

b. Horizontal UTP Cable Testing

1) Category 6 UTP cable pairs will be Permanent Link tested with the appropriate testing

equipment. The testing equipment must have the current software load and be in full

compliance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-C.2 for testing Category 6 UTP cable. Below in

Figure 9-1 is an example of a configuration test setup.

2) Follow the appropriate testing method outlined in the above references. A typical

configuration setup is depicted in Figure 9-2 on the next page.

3) All fiber optic cables must be tested for link attenuation (i.e. power meter insertion loss,

power meter test) as referenced in TIA/EIA 526-7. Table 9-2 outlines proper fiber testing

measures. All strands will be tested in a bi-directional method with a Power Meter/Power

Source and with an Optical Time-Domain Reflect-o-meter (OTDR).

Table 9-2

4) All fiber optic cables, including connectors, will be tested in-line between two reference

cables. One cable will be attached to the light source and the other to the power meter to

measure the dB loss from both connectors, as well as any dB loss associated with the cable

between connectors.

5) The loss for horizontal segment will not exceed 2.0 dB. TIA-TSB-140 outlines the steps

required to test single mode horizontal fiber optic cabling. TIA/EIA 526-7 outlines the steps

for testing single-mode fiber optic cable.

6) Test results will be submitted on CD along with a hard copy. Within the submittal will be a

floor plan depicting each outlet and its identifying information to match the test results. This

will be submitted through appropriate channels to Plans, Network Enterprise Center for

review and concurrence.

CHAPTER 7 THE SIPRNET SEGMENT

PROTECTED DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS (PDS) INSTALLATION GUIDANCE

1. Prior to the installation of PDS, installation drawings showing all carrier routes, pull boxes, and

termination points must be approved by the Ft Hood Installation Network Enterprise Center (NEC)

Plans and Information Assurance Policy Management Branch. It is required for the construction

contractor to conduct a site survey with representatives from NEC Plans and Information Assurance

Policy Management Branch. After design approval, no changes or deviation from approved design,

drop location(s), raceway/EMT path and equipment to be used (including lock boxes, security

containers etc) will be implemented without additional approval from NEC Plans and Information

Assurance Policy Management Branch.

2. PDS must terminate in one of the following areas.

a) Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF)

b) Secure room approved by the III Corps G2 for the open storage of SECRET classified

material.

c) General Services Administration (GSA) –approved security container designed to house data

network electronics. The security container must be housed in an interior room of the

building behind a minimum of two doors secured by GSA approved locks.

d) Note exception on Major Construction Army (MCA)/ Refurbishment of Existing Building

Projects, PDS will be terminated in accordance with paragraph 5.B.b.

3. National Security Administration (NSA) approved commercially manufactured Raceway is the

preferred PDS of Fort Hood Organizations/ Tenant Units for appearance and ease of change after

installation. Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) will be installed in place of commercially manufactured

Raceway when dictated by construction contract parameters. EMT meets all required NSA standards,

is a cheaper alternative to manufactured raceway, and still provides an adequate amount of flexibility

for future network upgrades.

a) NSA approved commercially manufactured raceway will meet the following technical

description: The carrier should be constructed of rigid-sheet steel ducting, utilizing elbows,

couplings, nipples, and connectors of the same material. All connectors should be

permanently sealed completely around all surfaces (e.g., welding (continuous or track),

compression, epoxy, fusion, etc.). If pull boxes are used, the pull-box covers should be sealed

to the pull boxes around the mating surfaces after installation or the pull box covers must not

have removable hinge pins and must be secured with a General Services Administration

(GSA) approved changeable combination padlock. Boxes with pre-punched knockouts may

not be used.

b) The NEC standard for manufactured raceway meets the following criteria: The carrier will

be16 gauge steel U shaped cable tray raceway with manufacture mounting holes at 1.5” from

each end. All raceway butt-end joints must be sealed with a 2” wide steel bridge with epoxy

applied internally to the raceway. All raceway and enclosure mounting shall be internal to

the system. The raceway shall at a minimum be mounted in three locations over a 10’ span.

Covering the cable tray raceway is an interlocking 16 gauge steel top cap system. All end

February 2013 Page 54 of 67

NEC INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

joints of top cap shall be covered with a steel end-to-end connector with a minimum of 1.5”

of top cap overlap. The end-to-end connector will be held to the raceway with two opposing

stainless steel retaining pins with (4) locking points. The top cap shall be locked in place

with internal locking pins and the entire system shall be locked with a stainless steel internal

locking mechanism. The stainless steel locking mechanism will be secure to the raceway

with two opposing locking pins with (4) locking points. The rear of the internal stainless

steel locking mechanism shall be back under cut by a minimum of 1.5” to allow for it to

insert into the 6” raceway starter piece. The lock has a stainless steel throw pin which when

engaged locks through a slot on the lock body cover and provides a minimum of 1.5” of

system overlap and secures that portion of the overall system. The lock is actuated with a

lanyard attached to the steel throw pin. The locking pins and locking mechanism can only be

removed from the associated lockable enclosure, such that installers and NEC personnel can

access the top cap and raceway connections without causing evidence of tampering. The

system, consisting of the cable tray raceway combined with the top cap, forms a continuous

sealed cable run. The system shall be mounted with a pre-drilled spacer or with one of the

following; threaded rod or mounting brackets where appropriate. The system has 16 gauge

steel connector for inside; outside; flat 90° turns, three-ways, three-way spanners all with

manufacture mounting points 1.5” from each end and universal connectors in 16 gauge steel

with a internal lock and lanyard and a pre-drilled 2 3/8” core hole and interface sleeve.

c) Non-manufactured PDS. The following applies: The data cables must be installed in a

carrier. The carrier should be constructed of electrical metallic tubing (EMT) or ferrous

conduit or pipe utilizing elbows, couplings, nipples, and connectors of the same material.

All connectors will be permanently sealed completely around all surface (e.g., welding

(continuous or track), compression, epoxy, fusion, etc.). If pull boxes are used, the pull-box

covers will be sealed to the pull boxes around the mating surfaces after installation. Pull

boxes will have internal hinges only and must be secured with a General Services

Administration (GSA) approved changeable combination padlock. Boxes with pre-punched

knockouts may not be used.

any windows. PDS shall only be installed on permanent interior surfaces such as

walls or support columns. PDS shall not be installed on any temporary wall or

cubical office system.

5) PDS between Floors and rooms with different ceiling heights, PDS installed

between floors in multi-story buildings should be installed in the following

manner. The section that goes through the false ceiling must be installed in a

manner to allow inspection. The ceiling tile can be removed or replaced with a

clear Plexiglas tile, if allowable by the local fire code. If neither of those aren’t a

viable option, an inspection path (tube providing a minimum of six inches of

clearance around the PDS to provide 360 degree visual inspection) should be built

around the riser. Conduit within this facility must be approved raceway material or

at least ¾-inch electrical metallic tubing (EMT) or galvanized threaded pipe (more

expensive), but should be large enough to accommodate cables being run in the

facility.

6) PDS may be installed below ceiling level where walls are not available to provide

support. The PDS shall be supported by metal rods attached to the ceiling support

structure. Supports shall be no further than 10 feet apart or less if required

providing proper support to insure no part of the suspended PDS will sag at any

time in the future. The PDS system must be suspended below the visible room

ceiling at a level to allow 360 degree visibility of all components for inspections.

(See Figure B)

7) PDS drop lock boxes shall be installed in single or double occupancy offices with

a lockable door on an interior permanent wall that allows for close proximity to

building SIPRNET room. The pull box shall be installed on the wall with the

bottom of the box no lower than 3 feet above the finished surface of the floor.

Note: This cabinet shall not be used to house network electronic devices. (See

Figure E) The pull box will be located on the wall directly behind the floor

location approved for the GSA security container and will provide a minimum of

six feet of slack Cat 6 cable for proper termination into the approved security

container after it is installed.

3) If EMT based PDS is installed, all requirements as noted in 5.D must be met.

C. Commercially manufactured PDS specific installation requirements. Shall be installed by

personnel certified by the manufacturer following the manufacturer’s installation practices.

D. Non-manufactured PDS specific installation requirements

1) All data cables shall be installed in a carrier. The carrier should be constructed of

electrical metallic tubing (EMT), ferrous conduit or pipe, or rigid-sheet steel

ducting, utilizing elbows, couplings, nipples, and connectors of the same material.

EMT must be installed in such a manner to allow addition of manufactured PDS

Systems or additional EMT based PDS in the future.(See Figure D)

2) All connectors will be permanently sealed completely around all surface (e.g.,

welding (continuous or track), compression, epoxy, fusion, etc.). (See Figure D)

3) Clear epoxy, which discolors to a pale yellow upon hardening, should be used as

the default for Holocom PDS carrier. NEC may specify the color of epoxy. Epoxy

that remains completely clear upon hardening shall not be used.

4) If pull boxes are used, the pull-box covers will be sealed to the pull boxes around

the mating surfaces after installation or the pull box will have internal hinges only

and must be secured with a General Services Administration (GSA) approved

changeable combination padlock. Boxes with pre-punched knockouts may not be

used. PDS lockable pull and drop lock boxes certified by NSA are recommended,

such as those manufactured by HOLOCOM Networks. (See Figure B)
