All of the new TL-9000 standards ensure that ARRIS, along with other partici-pating suppliers, provide customer-driven solutions and quality standardsnecessary as telecommunications networks evolve.

Marketplace needs are pushing the broadband communications industrytoward the convergence of voice, video and data. Chances are, you are refer-encing this guide to perform an installation of one or more of these services.

While it is beyond the scope of this guide to cover all of the circumstancesthat will be encountered during an installation, these guidelines should assistin your planning and training efforts, and increase the quality and longevityof your installations, even as technologies evolve. For installations that requiredetailed technical information, we recommend that you reference the publi-cations ANSI/TIA/EIA-570-A-1999 Residential Telecommunications CablingStandard, the ANSI/EIA/TIA-568-A Commercial Building TelecommunicationsWiring Standard, and BICSI (Building Industry Consulting Service International,Inc.) publications that cover telecommunications installation information.Global Engineering Documents at 800-854-7179 is a source for these publica-tions. For broadband installations, we recommend Modern Cable TelevisionTechnology, by Walter Ciciora, James Farmer and David Large, published byMorgan Kaufmann Publishers, Inc. of San Francisco. This booklet does notreplace any code, either partially or wholly.

Installations have several stages, including planning, installer training, site sur-veys, product acquisition, installing, testing, and maintenance. This guide cov-ers "need to know" information for coaxial and UTP premises installations, aer-ial and underground drops, grounding and bonding, NIU powering and test-ing, standards and codes and includes a glossary of commonly used telecom-munications acronyms and terms. Also included is a section with listings ofkey products for acquisition planning of tools, test and installation equip-ment. All of these products are easily available from TeleWire SupplySM.

For simplicity, we have limited our product recommendations to the "best ofclass" offerings. Our overall philosophy is that quality and performance elimi-nates a variety of eventual hidden costs that may be incurred by using lower-grade or lower-performance products. These hidden costs include truck rolls,product replacements, technological obsolescence, poor service quality andcustomer dissatisfaction. We realize however, that many of these lower-gradesolutions will perform adequately for their immediate intended purposes—and those decisions must reside within the discretion of the service provider.

All of us at ARRIS hope this guide provides valuable, easy-to-reference assis-tance as you plan and complete your installations. If you have any questionsor comments about material contained within this booklet, need additionalcopies, or wish to inquire about our complete product selection, please contact us at 1-888-353-9473 or by e-mail at [email protected].

Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) Copper Cable

Traditionally used for voice and data, UTP has the following characteristics:

• Pairs twisted to yield electrical interference protection• Solid conductors• Recommended conductor size 22-24 AWG• Common pair counts of 2-1800 pairs• Usually unshielded below 600 pairs• Characteristic impedance of 100 ohms

Cable CategoriesThe Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) and the TelecommunicationsIndustry Association (TIA) are trade associations that have developedtelecommunication industry standards. The category rating systemwas developed by the TIA in response to industry demands for higherdata rate specifications on applications over Unshielded Twisted Pair(UTP) and is now part of standard document EIA/TIA–568A which cov-ers UTP cables as well as connecting devices such as jacks, cross-con-nect blocks and patch panels for Commercial Building Cabling.EIA/TIA-570-A entitled Residential Telecommunications CablingStandard provides specifications for premises cabling.

• Category 1 and Category 2 are not recognized for new installations.They are found in service in predominantly older telephone (voice)applications.

• Category 3 UTP is the minimum grade recommended for voiceinstallations.

• Category 5 UTP:• Accommodates current and future applications and is the

recommended grade. Use of Category 3 brings risk of systemobsolescence.

• Can be run at a nominal cost increase over Category 3. Further,inventory can be simplified by stocking only Category 5 and tech-nical errors can be reduced by not having to match the wire cate-gory to an application.

• Meets goals set out by the EIA/TIA, and when properly installed,has the following characteristics:• Uses RJ45 connectors on patch cables• Uses two termination locations• 100 meter distance supported• Specific installation techniques required for proper operation• Certification testing guidelines• Documentation recommendations• Can be used with RJ11

With end-to-end Category 5 performance on the twisted pair cabledistribution to all outlets, any outlet can be assigned to any applica-tion. Category 5 refers to a standards-based performance leveldefined by the telecommunications industry to represent high-per-formance twisted pair cabling, sometimes referred to as ‘datagrade’twisted pair.

Category 5 twisted pair cable is the premier cabling medium, andemerging applications are designed and optimized for theCategory 5 medium.

The decision of which cable to use can be confusing. Category 3may provide adequate performance for today's voice applica-tions...but will it suffice tomorrow? Installing a structured, high-per-formance cabling system provides additional flexibility and capabil-ity to accommodate technological progress and help alleviatepotential obstacles down the road. Regardless of which cable youultimately choose, we suggest that serious consideration be givento Category 5 installations.

When working with twisted-pair cables, the cabling installer shouldbe able to identify individual pairs and conductors within the cable.

• Category 5e is another extension (Addendum 5) of the EIA/TIA-568-A cabling system to 100 MHz.

In addition, Category 5e cabling provides higher performance overa minimally compliant Category 5 channel and recognizedadvances in cabling technology.

Color Coding/ Tip and RingStandard color codes have been developed to enable the installer toquickly identify a pair within a bundle, thus facilitating termination atdifferent points within a wiring system. Both solid and striped colorsare common.

Each pair has a tip and a ring conductor.

The terms tip and ring originated from the earliest types of telephonesystems, where the operator had to physically use patch cords toroute the calls. The operator’s switchboard plug had three conductors:tip, ring and sleeve. The tip conductor was connected to the very tipof the plug and had a positive voltage. The ring conductor had a neg-ative voltage and was connected to a small collar or ring, just back


and isolated from the tip. Located behind the ring, the sleeve orground conductor provides a shield ground when used.

The colors used to identify tip conductors are different from thecolors used to identify ring conductors. There are five colors associated with tip conductors, and five different colors associatedwith ring conductors.

Polarity must be maintained within each pair, since telephone systemsprovide all dialing and voice functions on the polarized tip and ringpair. Further, the tip and ring conductors must be isolated from others,that is, the pairs must be used as pairs. If you use the tip conductorfrom one pair and the sleeve from another, data transmission will beimpaired and crosstalk may result.

Note: For 6-wire jacks: use pair 1, 2 and 3 color codes.For 4-wire jacks: use pair 1 and 2 codes.

TwistTwisted pair copper wire is most prevalent in telecommunicationmedia today. Each pair is twisted to prevent induction and crosstalkfrom other pairs in the same bundle and from outside power circuitsand motors. (The unwanted transfer of intelligence from one or morecircuits to other circuits is called crosstalk.) Crosstalk is reduced bytwists, cable lay, shielding and physical separation made during thecable manufacturing process.

Since many newer phones and systems won’t operate well withoutUTP, jacketed 4-pair UTP Category 5 wire is recommended for allinside wiring. Cat. 5 UTP is wound counterclockwise at a rate from 12-14 twists per foot; Cat. 3 is wound from 5-7 twists per foot. Pair twistrates vary within a cable. A tighter twist results in less distortion andinterference during installation. Untwisting during connectorizationshould be kept under one half inch.

Planning the Premises Cabling SystemThe key to effective and efficient residential telecommunicationscabling is careful planning. Telecommunications system planning andadherence to local building code requirements will determine the:

• Materials required for the project• Type and amount of labor needed

Note: When planning installations using data or carrier transmission,follow the equipment manufacturer’s installation guide.

EIA/TIA-570-A-1999 entitled Residential Telecommunications CablingStandard recognizes a minimum 4 pair UTP cable to at least one 8position outlet within the kitchen, each bedroom, family room, andden/study. Sufficient planning to avoid extension cords should pro-vide an additional outlet at least 12 ft. from the original, within unbro-ken wall spaces.

Unshielded twisted pair cable generally falls into the following appli-cations in accordance with Article 800 of the National Electrical Code,and is so noted on the cable product.

• CM – general purpose, no UV protection, indoor• CMX – indoor/outdoor UV protection• CMR – riser rated• CMP – plenum

Performance specification for cable and connecting hardware is basedon proper installation and cable management. If recommended


8

cabling precautions and installation methods are not followed, cablingcomponents may not perform to specifications. These performancedeficiencies may be apparent on initial installation or may show upthrough reduced performance over time. The performance of theinstalled system may be degraded by cabling practices relating to:

• Connector terminations• Cable installation and management• Use of cross-connect jumpers and patch cords• Multiple connections in close proximity

Horizontal cables must be terminated on connecting hardware thatmeet the applicable requirements for the type of cabling used. Forexample, the UTP cabling is rated at the same category as the lowestperformance component used in the link.

Use only rated components and mounting hardware in the cablingsystem. One such rating is UL® 1863, Communications CircuitsAccessories, by Underwriters Laboratories. Rated components havepassed stringent safety tests.

Modular jack and plug mating connections shall satisfy mechanicaltests as specified in the FCC Part 68 Rules, Subpart F. This requirementaddresses the mating of:

• 6-position plugs with 6-position jacks• 8-position plugs with 8-position jacks• 6-position plugs with 8-position jacks

All twisted-pair cable and outlet/connectors must be installed inaccordance with ANSI/ EIA/TIA-570-A, Residential TelecommunicationsCabling Standard. Maintain cable twisted-pair integrity to connectorterminations. Extend enough cable from the wall to accommodatethe termination. Be careful to avoid excess cable so as to preventkinking when the termination is placed in the outlet. Score the cablesheath carefully to avoid nicking the interior insulated cable pairs.Remove the outer sheath of the cable from the wire pairs. Maintainthe twists of the wire pairs up to the connector termination. Placethe connector into the outlet so as to not kink the cable.

TIA Preferred Wiring Method

The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) recommends thestar wiring method (aka home run) for residential and light commercial.Each outlet is wired directly to the distribution device, which is a com-mon point for originating inside runs and terminating distribution runs.


9

The home run wiring method confines loss from cable damage, thusprotecting jacks beyond the damage point. Locating the damagepoint with test equipment is also less time consuming. Finally, addingtelephone lines can easily be done at the distribution device, so jackand wiring replacement is unnecessary.

EIA/TIA standards allow multiple vendors’ components of the samecategory to be used successfully in the same system. A TIA compliantsystem can accommodate future equipment and service changes tosimplify ongoing maintenance and relocation.

Cabling Installation Techniques

• Use the shortest practical route• Conceal cable for damage protection• When drilling access holes through exterior walls:

• Slope holes upward from the outside• Drill holes only slightly greater than cable diameter• Provide cable "drip loop" outside of building to avoid water ingress• Use plastic bushings• Seal holes after installing cable

• Firestopping, bonding and grounding must be performed accord-ing to fire, building and electrical codes that apply

• Every connection degrades system performance, so use the mini-mum number necessary

• Better to provide excess capacity in terms of cable and outlets thannot enough. Later additions are costly and time consuming

• Wire to the highest anticipated data rate (speed) or greater – never less• Never install components of unknown/questionable origin or quali-

ty. At the very best, the system will transmit signals to the level of itsweakest component. Every element and connection is important

• Document all connections carefully, and keep installations tidy• Tag wires at demarcation point for later troubleshooting• Test everything• Install jacks at the same height as electrical outlets. Wall-mount

phone jacks should be 48 to 52 inches from the floor• Cover unused wallboxes with a blank wall plate to protect and mark

their location• Do not splice cable runs• Pull 4-pair cable per manufacturer’s specifications but not more

than 25 lbs. pulling tension. EIA/TIA-568A and -570 recognize 4-pairUTP as a minimum pair count


10

• Do not run cable parallel to power wiring and do not share bored holes.• Avoid sharp bends and sheath nicks• Maintain polarity. Match wire colors of tip (+) and ring (-) pairs. Polarity

reversal interferes with most data devices and some telephones• Use a recommended 4-pair jack for 2 line telephones• Leave pull cord in conduit, if used, to facilitate running new wire• Do not run power in same conduit with telecommunications cable• Use insulated staples to support wire, leaving wire loose within staples• Avoid under-carpet wiring runs• Use inner walls whenever possible for reasons of safety and appearance• Leave 18" of spare wire at outlets• Most importantly, always check for ground, open and shorts after

wiring is roughed in• Category 5 Cable Installations Tips

• Category 5 cable is manufactured to tight specifications. For it todeliver high-speed performance now or for future applications,proper installation and handling is essential. Stretching, kinkingor even straightening a kink can permanently affect the cable'stransmission properties

• Cable Tension - Pull cable with less than 25 lbs of force• Horizontal Wall Supports - Use J-type hooks designed to sup-

port cables and avoid overloading or opportunities that couldlead to excessive cable rubbing within the support

• Removing Cable Jacket - Keep jacket close to termination point


Wrong Right

11

• Bundling - Tie wraps should contain a bundle of twisted paircables loose enough to prevent jacket stress

• Single Cable Attachment - Preferable practice is using correctlysized one or two hole clamps or plastic clips. Staplers are onlyacceptable with depth stops. In no case should the cable besqueezed

• Unrolling Cable - Avoid kinks, knots or snags• Maintain Pair Twist During Termination - Maintain pair twists

to within 1/2" of termination point and jacket tucked close to termination.

• Terminate onto 66-Blocks with proper cable management toavoid kinks.

Minimum Wiring Separation Between Residential/LightCommercial Telecommunications and Other

Cable Termination Connections

Cable termination involves the organizing of cables by destination,labeling and actually creating the connection. Proper cable termina-tion practices are vital for the complete and accurate transfer of bothanalog and digital signals. Two basic types of cable termination con-nections exist: binding post and insulation displacement (IDC).

Binding Post (screw terminal)Commonly used for terminating residential wiring at a demarcationpoint the screw and washer secure the stripped wire leads.• Keep copper conductors free from nicks and wrap clockwise.• Keep copper conductor from being caught and potentially break-

ing in screw threads.• Trim excess wire.• Retain some spare wire for remaking as needed.• See Equipment Index on pp. 127-128.

Insulation Displacement Connection (IDC)This method displaces the insulation as the wire is seated into theconnection. The conductor is not stripped but forced into a terminalstrip containing sharp inside edges that pierce the insulation andmake a solid electrical and mechanical connection, being held tightlybetween two metal contacts.Most common indoor cable termination types are 66-type, 110-type,BIX® and KRONE®. Each requires a specially designed punchdown tool orblade. Take caution that the brand of tool is compatible with the blade.Gel-type IDCs, commonly used outdoors for cross-connecting, requireno special tools. See Equipment Index on pp. 127-128 and 135.All IDC types are designed for relatively permanent connection; ifchanges have to be made, the wire must be removed and the connec-tor cleaned of all metal and insulation material before the wire can becut off and reinstalled.

66-Block TerminationThe 66-type IDC termination block is common for voice applicationsas an indoor demarcation or distribution device for copper telephonecircuits. Twisted pair terminations are made using a punchdown toolwith a 66-type blade insert for terminating the copper wires onto con-tact clips which are arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns.

Note: Bridging clips are not Category 5 compliant.

A fine-tipped, indelible marker is generally used to designate cable-pair identifiers on the fanning strips of 66-type blocks. An additionalmethod of identifying 66-blocks is the use of color-coded hinged cov-ers, which can be labeled on the inside of the cover.


14

The 66-type termination block is attached to the Model 89 wall mountbracket to allow cable pairs to be fanned out from the rear into theguides in the side of the block.

The following shows some common 66-blocks used for demarcationand distribution of telephone lines.• Demarcation

When used in a demarcation application, network cable is terminat-ed on the first clip and apartment cable is terminated on the lastclip of each horizontal row. Circuits are connected in a verticalrepeating tip/ring sequence. Network cable is connected to apart-ment cable by installing either bridge clips or jumper wires to con-nect circuits as required. The bridge clip or jumper may be removedto disconnect the network from the apartment for testing or otherreasons. Network and apartment cable is not disturbed during test-ing or circuit rearrangement.

• DistributionIn distribution applications, network cable is terminated on the firstclip and several apartment cables are terminated on adjacent clipsin the same row. Row connections follow the tip/ring alternatingsequence. By using a multiple clip configuration, several telephoneextensions may be directly connected (home run) to the same net-work circuit. Available clip configurations provide three, four and sixcommon clips. Since one wire may be terminated in each clip andone clip is used for the network termination, available clip configu-rations permit connection of two, three or five extensions.

110-Style Termination

Backbone cabling is commonly terminated on wall or rack mounted 110-blocks in increments of 50, 100, 300 or 900 pairs.The 110 block requires aconnector block that punches onto it to create the cross-connection.

Cables are routed through the middle pathway of the 110-wiringblock from either the top or bottom, and fanned into the wirewayfrom alternate sides.

See 66-block and 110-style Equipment on pp. 135-136.

Typical bill of materials include a distribution frame, vertical cablemanagement with routing rings, wiring block, connector block, hori-zontal wiring trough, write-on covers and cross-connect jumpers.

Wiring JacksVerifying pin-outs is critical to a properly working system.

Many different styles of outlets exist with single or double gangwallplates and RJ-11, RJ-45, F-81 or blank jack inserts for a single to 8-port density range.

EIA/TIA-570-A-1999 entitled Residential Telecommunications CablingStandard states that all connecting hardware to UTP cable shall be 8position and meet the transmission and reliability requirements of 568A.

Termination at work area outlets should be completed following man-ufacturer's specifications for minimum sheath removal and proper ter-mination techniques, being careful to ensure a 0.5 inch maximumamount of cable pair untwisting to maintain Category 5 compliance.Carefully coil the remaining minimum of 12 inch slack into the termi-nation box. Do not kink the cable or exceed the bend radius of fourtimes the cable diameter.

Direct ConnectionThere are occasions where a customer request for direct connectionof horizontal cable requires that a cabling installer directly field termi-nate cables with modular plugs. This practice is not recommended forCategory 5 applications due to lack of flexibility and excessive down-time if damage occurs to the cabling in the work area.

Field- Constructed Patch CordsField-constructed patch cords are not recommended for Category 5systems.

1. Determine type of cable.2. Select the proper connector.3. Verify the pin-wiring configuration:

• Data cables utilize straight-through wiring. (i.e., Pin 1 to Pin 1)• Voice cables are reversed. (Pin 1 to Pin 8, Pin 2 to Pin 7, etc.)• Certain applications may require unique pin-wiring configurations.

4. Strip jacket to appropriate length.• Make a clean 90-degree cut end on the cable.• Remove enough jacket from the cable to reach the end of the

plug and still have the jacket under the cable clamp portion ofthe modular plug.

5. Use the correct crimp tool.• Modular plugs are configured in 4-, 6- and 8-pin combinations.• The correct die for crimping all of the wires in one motion is required.• Only 8-pin modular plugs are Category 5 compliant.

6. Verify pin-wiring configuration.• Inspect the connection to make sure all the wires are seated

properly and in the correct position.

Bonding 23

In This Section

21

Properly installed telecommunications cabling is almost never dan-gerous. During installation verify that exposed conductors, cableshields and metal equipment are grounded or free of fault potentials(and otherwise generally safe).

Electrical exposure cannot always be accurately examined. Alwaysreview codes, standards and site records.

Local conditions may require additional investigation, changes orsafeguards pertinent to the region, site or equipment. No informationhere replaces laws, codes or regulations.

The National Electric Code (NEC) Article 830 requires primary protec-tion against surge, i.e. lightning, and fault protection against any openor short circuit that may occur on coaxial cable between the tap andthe network interface device (NID). The necessity of such protection isto assure public safety when coaxial cable is not buried a minimumdepth of 18 inches as stated in NEC Article 830. In lieu of 18" the coax-ial cable can be enclosed in conduit at a depth of 12".

GroundingDefinition: A conducting connection, whether intentional or accidental,between electrical circuits or equipment and the earth, or to someconducting body that serves in place of the earth.

Overall protection must consider:• Direct lightning strikes• Ground potential rise• Contact with power circuits• Induction

Establishing a suitable telecommunications ground is critical, alwaysrequired, and typically found in the following:• Telecommunications entrance facility for sites with exposed cable• Equipment rooms• Telecommunications closets

Lightning ExposureEven with a properly installed grounding infrastructure, there are noguarantees that a direct lightning strike will not damage a system.

A Lightning Exposure Guideline is included as a Fine Print Note (FPN)in the NEC Section 800-30 (a). It states, "Interbuilding circuits are con-sidered to have a lightning exposure unless one or more of the fol-lowing conditions exist:


22

1. Circuits in large metropolitan areas where buildings are closetogether and sufficiently high to intercept lightning.

2. Interbuilding cable runs of 140 ft. (42.7 m) or less, directly buried orin underground conduit, where a continuous metallic cable shieldor a continuous metallic conduit containing the cable is bonded toeach building grounding electrode system.

3. Areas having an average of five or fewer thunderstorm days peryear and earth resistivity of less that 100 ohmmeters. Such areas arefound along the Pacific coast.

Water PipesNo longer are cold water pipes the first choice for a grounding electrode.Nonmetallic pipes have become common. See NEC Section 250-81.

Grounding ChoiceBecause telecommunications and electrical cabling must be equal-ized, attach to the closest point of the building’s electrical servicegrounding electrode system. Choose the closest of either the buildingground electrode system or an accessible electrical service ground. Ifnone exists use either another grounding electrode system built forthis purpose or a driven ground rod.

• Electrical Service Ground – best choice for telecommunications. SeeNEC Section 250-71(b) which requires an accessible intersystembonding connection.

• Grounding Electrode – See NEC 250-83, NEC 250-91(c) and NEC820(c) for grounding electrode installation guidelines and protec-tion. Resistance should be 25 ohms or less and measured annually.Electrode grounding is allowed if no electrical service exists or ifadditional grounding is needed. NEC 800-40(b) specifies a minimum1/2" x 5’ ground rod with 6-AWG solid grounding conductor,although an 8’ ground rod is generally recommended.

Resistance of an electrode to earth is determined by three components:

• Earth resistance• Earth to electrode contact resistance• Resistance of electrode itself with connections.

Warnings: Installed electrodes should be separated by 6 feet. Gas,steam and hot water pipes as well as electrodes or down conductorsnot a part of a lightning protection system are not allowed as agrounding electrode.


23

BondingDefinition: NEC Article 100 and Section 250-70 define bonding as thepermanent joining of metallic parts to form an electrically conductivepath which will assure electrical continuity and the capacity to con-duct safely any current that is likely to be imposed.

Bonding conductors are not intended to carry electrical load currentsunder normal conditions, but must carry fault currents so that electri-cal protection (circuit breakers) will properly operate.

Bonding should maintain the shortest path with least impedance.Conductors should route with fewest bends and connections madedirectly to bonded points. Avoid unnecessary connections in bondingconductors and use only approved connections that are accessible.See NEC 800-40 (a, 2). Use copper, copper alloy or tin-plated copperconnections that have been laboratory tested and listed, and followmanufacturer’s installation guidelines. Effective equipment bondinghelps equalize potentials from lightning and electrical system faultsthat cause damage.

Telecommunications bonding should follow three principles:

• Equalization – Use a short path with large conductors to lower the impedance.

• Diversion – Bonding conductor carries transients away fromtelecommunications cable.

• Coupling – The closer the bonding conductor to a telecommunica-tions cable, the greater the mutual electromagnetic coupling.

Note: Any combination of these three principals is beneficial totelecommunications equipment.

Powering Methods to the Voice Port™ 27

Economical Tap Upgrade Solution for System Powering 28

In This Section

27

Robust Lifeline Service is a Primary Requirement with a Benchmark of 8Hours Backup Time.

Powering Methods to the Voice Port™NID Powering Using the Center Conductor

This is a popular method of system powering, where permitted bylocal code. It can use the existing drop if that drop is in good condi-tion. If the drop is not in good condition, it should be replaced whenadding two-way services anyway. Power is delivered over the centerconductor of the drop cable from a special power-passing tap (some-times called a telephony tap or a power extracting tap).

Of concern with using the center conductor to pass power to the NIDis that if arcing occurs, due to a faulty center conductor contact, thearc will transfer a very significant amount of power to the upstreamplant, likely causing interference with all users of the reverse spec-trum. On the other hand, an arc often causes healing of a bad contactand thus can be self-extinguishing.

NID Powering Using a Twisted Pair

A similar power-passing tap places power on a separate pair of termi-nals, ground and hot, for each drop. A special drop cable is used thathas a pair of wires molded into the same outer jacket that covers thecoaxial cable. This cable is often called Siamese cable. The tap usedwith Siamese cable has connectors that are used to fasten the wirepair of the Siamese cable.

28

The advantage of twisted pair over center conductor powering is thatyou do not have to tolerate the signal loss associated with connectingRF blocking inductors to the tap ports. The problem with using thisconfiguration is that a special drop cable must be run. In all-newinstallations this is not a problem, but in retrofit situations, it may notbe economical or desirable.

A further concern with Siamese power-passing taps is the possibilityof ingress due to signal pickup on the wire pair. The signals picked upcan be introduced into the coaxial cable. Adequate filtering of thevoltage connections usually is sufficient to prevent problems.

Home Powering with Battery Backup

This method of powering relieves the cable operator of the burden ofpowering the NIU, but requires the installation of a local power supplyunit (LPSU) with battery backup in each home. The installer must goinside the home and locate a power outlet from which he or sheknows the power supply will never be removed.

The operating condition of the power supply and the battery is monitored and telemetered to a Network Operations Center (NOC).

Economical Tap Upgrade Solution for System PoweringThe Regal® Flexible Tap System for cable telephony/data applicationsenables you to upgrade your plant now with the assurance thatwhichever powering method you choose, you'll have a sensible, eco-nomical and worry-free migration path for telephony/data upgrades.

A common approach is to use local powering initially and upgrade tosystem powering as either telephone subscriber penetration or thechangeout rate to power extracting taps dictates.

Taps with RF-only 12 amp faceplates and optional continuous powerbus (CPB) technology - plus a power supply at the home - are all that'sneeded for local powering. These taps can easily be upgraded for sys-tem powering with a simple faceplate change (see Illustration 1).See Equipment Index on pp. 151-165.

IDDS Factor:Temperature rated components in Regal taps prevent extreme temperature fluctuations.

Characterizing cabling provides useful data for the support of futureequipment applications. This should improve the overall effectivenessof providing premises network solutions, as well as a baseline forfuture troubleshooting, resulting in higher customer satisfaction.

Most tests listed are supported by EIA/TIA TSB-67 and ANSI/EIA/TIA-568-A.

Testing Before Final Installation• Positive test results before occupancy and equipment use pro-

motes customer satisfaction, especially after their requests for addi-tional services.

• Check for grounds, shorts and opens.• Use only Category 5 UTP cable, connection products and wiring

methods compliant with UL® and EIA/TIA.

Basic Tests• Visual inspection of wire color matching

• Access lines to pairs• Tip and ring to correct pairs

• Continuity (a continuous conductance of signal)• Verify test equipment by touching leads together for indication

of a short.• Use a tone generator and inductive amplifier to verify continuity

(no breaks) or shorts.• Attach tone generator to cable pair.• Use inductive amplifier to detect tone.• Trace and identify cable.• Green LED –full short.• Dim or blinking LED – resistance resulting from faulty conduc-

tor or splice.• See Equipment Index on pp. 166-168.

• Specialized Continuity• Connect continuity tester across unterminated leads at either

end in succession. Test at outlet between tip of each pair and allother leads and the ring with all other leads for shorts.

• Short the far end and check LED for proper polarity.

Testing Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cabling

34

• Cross• A short between terminals caused by a sloppy stripped conduc-

tor or an attachment nail.• Use tone continuity mode to find path from either conductor of

one pair to either side of another.• Attach one clip to one pair tip. With either lead, check continu-

ity to both sides of every pair.• Repeat, but change fixed lead to ring side.• Repeat for each pair. Any continuity means a cross.

• Split • An occurrence when a pair is separated and wrongly matched

with another pair.• Often detected during continuity testing.• Use tone test set:

• Connect tone mode to one pair end.• Trace tone with speaker probe to splice, identify probable wires

and short the two conductors with probe.• Shorted wires will give a strong tone if pair is split or no tone if

pair is not split.

• Roll (Reversed Polarity)• An occurrence when tip and ring ends are reversed • Prevents tone beeps• Rotary telephones are not affected

• Cable Impedance

• Measure the voltage to current ratio. Should remain constantregardless of cable length or signal amplitude or frequency.

• UTP is 100 ohms ±15%. A TDR graph shows absolute impedance,which is used to determine length and distance to impedancediscontinuities.

Final Verification Testing• Connect jack into outlet.• Connect telephone butt set at NID at demarcation point and

receive dial tone.• Make outgoing and incoming calls to/from a test number.

• Listen for clear transmission free from clicks, pops and scratches.• Be sure dial tone stops when numbers are dialed and resumes

when phone is hung up.• Failed tests mean either line hasn’t been installed correctly.

• Repeat for each line.• Connect NID to premises wiring.• Repeat test at each outlet of each line.

• If problem occurs, check connections and wiring.• If no fault is easily found, test again.

Common Test EquipmentTone generator/ induction amplifier

• Identifies specific pairs by generating a tone on one pair end withan inductive amplifier to identify the tone on the other end. Someinduction amplifiers can trace along a conductor length.

• Using a tone generator• Attach tone generator to cable pair at work area.• Use inductive amplifier to detect signal.• Trace and identify cable from detected signal.• See Equipment Index on pp. 166-168.

Volt-Ohm – Ammeter• Analog and digital available.• Measures voltage, current, resistance.• Measures continuity with a shorting device on one pair end.• Using a battery and volt-ohmmeter:


36

1. Find a reliable ground connection, and check each lead at eachoutlet for a short(s) to ground. There should be no continuitybetween any of the leads and earth ground.

2. Assure that the network is disconnected. Then connect the bat-tery across the tip and ring leads of each pair at the closest pointavailable to the demarcation point, but not on the network side.Connect the positive side to tip and the negative side to ring.

3 Go to each outlet and perform the following tests with the volt-ohm meter for each pair:• Verify that the polarity of each pair is correct with tip at posi-

tive voltage and ring at negative.• Verify that there is no continuity with any other pair at the out-

let by checking the tip lead against all other leads, and thenthe ring lead against all other leads.

• See Equipment Index on pp. 166-168.

One Step Trouble Detector - Sidekick• An all-in-one tester for intermittent troubles with twisted pair appli-

cations. Functions include stressed noise susceptibility, faults, VOM,AC/ DC, kick, tone and leakage. Some units help to qualify transmis-sion quality of POTS lines by providing testing for loop current, cir-cuit loss, metallic noise, power influence and load coil.

• The stress test reads the audible noise produced on a faulted pairthat is stressed by a 90 dBrn longitudinal excitation. The stress testdetermines the capacitive and series resistance balance characteris-tics of twisted pairs at any point along the pair. It is capable of iden-tifying DC resistive or capacitive imbalances undetected by othersubscriber loop tests. The stress test is also highly effective in identi-fying imbalances produced by series resistance opens (high joints).

• See Equipment Index on p. 166.

Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR)• The TDR locates and tests all cable defects, splices and connectors

and gives loss values for each occurrence. In addition, the TDR isused to measure the electrical length of a cable. The measurementof the cable is accomplished by injecting a fast rise-time pulse intothe cable and then looking for the reflections caused by impedancemismatches. Mismatches caused by kinks, splices, etc., are displayedas well as are a large mismatch at the end of the cable. The reflec-tions are displayed either on a screen or in the form of a printout.

• See Equipment Index on p. 166.

Cornerstone® provides telephony services through a new or existing HFC net-work while supporting a portfolio of narrowband services such as Caller ID,Call Waiting,Speed Dialing,Automatic Callback,56K modem and interactivescreen-based telephony services.Cornerstone is primarily comprised of aheadend located Host Digital Terminal™ (HDT™) and a premises locatedVoice Port™.The HDT communicates with the Digital Switch by connectingRF signals from the HFC network into DS-O signals and DS-O signals from thetelephony network into modulated RF carriers transmitted through the HFCnetwork to the Voice Port.The Voice Port connects telephony signals into aradio frequency (RF) suitable for transmission over the HFC network.

This section covers test and troubleshooting of the Cornerstone Two-lineand Four-line Voice Port as well as the Multi-Line (12) Voice Port (MVP).

The following are quick reference tips:

• Do not daisy-chain composite or local power connections.Each VoicePort should have its own connection to the drop or local power supply.

• Do not daisy-chain the RF cables. Connect each Voice Port directlyto the tap, where possible. If this is not possible, attach a splitter tothe drop and feed the Voice Port.

• Make sure that the RF cables are installed properly. Do not con-nect, for example, the drop cable to the Voice Port's Home Coax port.

• Pre-provision the Voice Port before installation. This lets youquickly verify that the Voice Port is installed properly.

• Assign all installed Voice Ports.This prevents generation of unnecessaryalarms and logs.Take unused Voice Ports out of service (OOS); this pre-vents the Voice Port from generating alarms or logs while not in use.

• Terminate any unused RF connections. This prevents noise andingress problems.Where possible, make sure that the subscriber con-nections are also terminated.

• Make sure local power supplies are not plugged into switchedoutlets (not applicable to MVP). This prevents unnecessary batteryuse and prolongs battery life.

Installing Voice Port

Refer to an authorized Cornerstone Voice Port Installation Guide whichprovides detailed coverage on:

• You have a telephone butt-set with an IDC terminal 2-position con-nector (3M part #4501E).

• You have the appropriate telephone numbers for testing voice lines.

Testing the MVP12

1. Check the RF signal level at the RF test point. Ensure that it meetsyour company standards.


49

Note: The upstream RF signal levels may not be accurate at the RFtest point. For a more accurate measurement, check the upstreamRF signal level at the drop coax.

2. Connect the telephone butt-set to the VF terminal connector of line1. Check for dial tone.

Note 1: If the line has been preprovisioned at the switch withTR303 CSC, MVI POTS, or TR08 POTS services, dial tone will only beachieved if the line has been put in service (at the switch). This canbe done by manually busying and returning it to service, or by theswitch's (hourly) audit.

Note 2: If the electronics module was just replaced, the chgVpldcommand must be issued at the headend before dial tone can bereceived.

Note 3: If an MVP subscriber line connects to a subscriber's securitysystem, the security system provider is responsible for verifying theoperation of the security system.

3. Perform additional phone tests (as required by your company).

4. If possible, check the voice lines inside the customer premises.

5. If any problems occurred, refer to the next section "Troubleshootingthe MVP12".

6. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for all other provisioned lines.

Troubleshooting the MVP12

1. Go to the MVP12, remove the tamper tags (if necessary), andopen the cover.

2. Check the power on the MVP12 protector block. If no power is pre-sent, go to step 10.

3. Check the RF signal level on the RF test point at the MVP12. If thesignal is up to standards, continue at step 5 (see note). If the signalis not up to standards, continue at step 4.

Note: The upstream RF signal levels may not be accurate at the RFtest point. For a more accurate measurement, check the upstreamRF signal level at the drop coax.

4. Check the cable between the tap and MVP. If the cable is damaged,repair it. If the cable is not damaged, then the electronics module isprobably faulty, go to step 11 "Faulty electronics module".


50

5. Open top section of the VF connector.

6. Connect a telephone butt-set to the VF connector and check for dialtone.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 noting all provisioned lines with no dial tone.

MAX 24 TroubleshootingLED Indicator

The MAX 24 has a numeric LED indicator to aid installation and trou-bleshooting. The indicator is located behind the access door of theMAX 24, and indicates the MAX 24 operational state (Figure 1).


51

Off-Hook Indicators

A horizontal line displayed on the LED indicates that there is off-hookactivity on one of the three line cards. The position of the line dis-played corresponds to the location of the line card. For example, if thetop 8-line module has on or more lines off-hook, the top most hori-zontal line on the LED is illuminated.

Note: When any of the eight line cards of a line module is in use, theTraffic Busy segment turns ON.

IDDS Factor:The equipment and installation practices in this section serve theArris Integrated Digital Drop System, which results in trouble-freeadvanced services, a reduction in trouble calls and overall customersatisfaction. Quality components make a difference...especially whentested as a system.

Coaxial Drop Cables In all cases, the minimum standard recommended is the SCTE FlexibleR.F.Coaxial Drop Cable Specifications.SCTE Doc.# IPS-SP-001

Recommended installation practices are provided within this document.

All aerial, underground, and interior drop cables will have a coppercovered steel center conductor, a bonded foil shield, a minimum of60% aluminum braid coverage, a minimum of 23dB SRL (StructuralReturn Loss), and are sweep tested from 5 MHz to 1 GHz.

In areas with strong off air signals or interference, a drop cable with90% or better braid, tri-shield (foil/braid/foil) or quad shield(foil/braid/ foil/braid) may be required.

Cable Types

Aerial - defined as messengered drop cable installed from theaerial tap to the grounding device on the customer premises.Messengered cables help prevent elongation and providesuperior support and durability.

Underground - defined as an underground cable installedfrom the service entrance of a pedestal or vault to the bondingdevice at the house.

All underground cables contain a flooding compound beneaththe jacket for sealing minor cuts or damages in the cable’souter jacket, as well as to prevent moisture migration into theinternal layers of cable. The jacket is polyethylene, which pro-tects the cable from soil, sunlight and abrasion.

Interior - defined as the interior drop cable installed from thebonding device (service location) to the customer premisesequipment.

These cables have a PVC (polyvinylchloride) black or coloredjacket. All interior cables have a minimum of a CATV-V classifica-tion and comply with the NEC requirements for Fire Safety ofbroadband communications Cables.

Note: Interior drop cables must not have flooding compound.

Coaxial Cable Wiring Overview

62

PassivesThe use of high quality products throughout the drop system isessential. EMI shielding goes hand-in-hand with all drop products,especially the passives. It is recommended that all passives havecircuit boards, tongue and groove housings and back plates. Thesefeatures provide consistent, repeatable electrical performance andsuperior EMI shielding.

All female “F”interface ports conform to or exceed the SCTE InterfacePractice Standards for female “F”interface connections (SCTE Doc. IPS-SP-001).This ensures a quality male-to-female “F”interface.

All “F” ports have a 360 degree base and are 1/2” long, with thelower portion free of threads for proper sealing of sealing sleeves.“F” ports are also spaced 1” minimum center-to-center, to allow fortrap installation.

All passive housings have raised port values for identification pur-poses, slotted mounting tabs that are flush with the back plate, andare chromate treated.

Regal Splitter IDDS Factor:• Built-in blocking capacitors minimize transient voltage.

• High port-to-port insolation in the return path remedies mixing ofdigital signals with downstream RF signals.

ConnectorsAll connectors conform to or exceed the SCTE Interface PracticeStandards for male “F” interface connections. Adherence to thesestandards ensures a quality connector-to-cable and connector-to-female interface.

All connectors require a no-crimp connection interface to thecable. All cables are prepared for connector installation with theuse of a coaxial cable preparation tool that allows for repetitiveproper connector installations (see Appendix B). We recommendthat connectors be tightened with a torque wrench to ensuretightness and good EMI shielding.

All outdoor connectors use a UV resistant, circumferential sealingsleeve. This protects the connector, the female “F” interface and thedrop cable from corrosion and water migration.

Digicon IDDS Factor:360Þ conical compression provides superior pullout strength and RF specifications.


63

HardwareAll plated drop hardware should meet galvanizing specifications equal to:

Hot dip galvanizing - ASTM A-153

Mechanical galvanizing - ASTM B-695

These galvanizing methods are widely accepted throughoutthe telecommunications industry as providing superior corro-sion protection and adding longevity to the drop system.

All clamping devices are designed to eliminate any potential damageto the drop cable. Pressure on the outer sheath may weaken or fracturethe cable or create an impedance "bump", causing a negative effect ontransmission quality.

Errant hammer blows may also cause outer sheath and electricaldamage. For this reason, staples or clamping devices with staplesor nails should not be used. Molded or formed clamping devicessecured by screws help to eliminate this problem and providesuperior cable attachment.

All aerial cables use coaxial cable drop wire clamps to assure consistent,reliable strain relief for the drop. Grips and messenger wraps can causeouter sheath damage to aerial cables.These traditional forms of strainrelief should be avoided.

Feed-through bushings should be used at all accessible entrypoints. The use of RTV silicone is recommended to seal the bushing,keeping cold air and moisture out. The bushing also protects thecable by reducing abrasion.

MONARCH Hardware IDDS Factor: BellCore specified.

Installation GuidelinesIDDS Factor: Proper techniques are critical at higher bandwidths toreduce truck rolls.

To ensure shielding integrity and picture quality, it is imperative thatthe coaxial drop cable remain round. Special care should be takento prevent the cable from being kinked, crushed, or flattened. It isimportant to keep the minimum bending radius 10 times the O.D.(outside diameter) of the drop cable.

Common sense should be used when routing the drop cablefrom the tap to the house, and from the bonding device to theoutlet. The shortest and most direct route should be followedwhenever possible.


64

We recommend the use of a cable caddy to allow the cable toroll off the reel evenly, preventing the cable from formingloops or fish-eyes.

Note: Be aware that damage to the cable jacket and shieldingdue to burns, cuts, scrapes, stretching or kinking, caused bypulling the cable over or against itself, over rough or sharpedges, and bending the cable too sharply, will cause signalleakage thus deteriorating the overall electrical perfor-mance of the cable. This type of damage can only berepaired by replacement of the drop cable.

Pole Attachment

All messenger cables will be attached to clamps and hooksusing messenger drop clamps (see Illustrations 1a and 1b).

Cable ties or S clips should be used every 6”- 12” to secure drop

cable to strand and to prevent the messenger from separatingat the attachment point (see Illustration 2).

A minimum of 10 x the O.D. of the drop cable x 2 = the diameterloop of cable that is used at the point of attachment and at theinterface point to the tap.These loops protect the drop frompotential damage from expansion and contraction of the cable(Illustration 2).

As insurance in the event of a connector failure, an additional 18” - 24”of drop cable should be coiled into a loop and secured to the strandwith a cable tie (see Illustration 2).This eliminates the drop cablereplacement due to connector replacement.

“P” or “J” hook installations for dead ends or drop installationpoles should contain the following drip loop lengths - singlehook: 12”, two hooks: 12” - 18” depending upon the pole size(see Illustration 3).

Identification tags should be used as needed (Illustration 2).We recommend that a house number tag be used for identifi-cation and auditing purposes.

At all times, the connectors at the cable ends must be protect-ed from moisture, whether the drop is active or disconnected.Sealing sleeves shall be used to protect the “F” port,“F” connec-tor, and the cable from water migration. When the drop is dis-

connected, it should be protected either by attaching it to a terminator that has a sealing sleeve at both ends, or by threadingthe connector on to another device that has a sealing sleeve, andthen tightening properly.

Pedestal or Vault Attachment (see Illustration 4)

Cable ties should be used to secure the cable near the tap tokeep cables and connectors out of dirt and water and to pre-vent stress on the connector.

A minimum of a 10 x O.D. bend radius will be used at the inter-face point to the tap to allow for cable expansion and contrac-tion and “F” connector replacement.

Identification tags should be used as needed. Again, we rec-ommend that a house number tag be used for subscriberidentification and auditing purposes.

The connectors should be sealed as previously mentioned to pro-tect the cable from water migration.

House Attachment - aerial (see Illustration 5)

All messenger cables will be attached to clamps and hooksusing messenger drop clamps.

Cable ties or S clips should be used to prevent the messen-ger from separating at the attachment point.

A properly installed loop or radius bend of cable will be used at the

point of attachment to allow for cable expansion and contraction.

Under no circumstances should cable be attached to a TVantenna, chimney, lightning rod, or rain gutter. Connection to apower riser is permissible only with the approval of local publicutility company (PUC), using proper mounting equipment andmaintaining proper clearances. The coaxial cable drop shouldcontact the house within 2 to 4 feet of the power contact point.

For proper drop clearances, see Illustration 6. The approximatesag for the span length of customer drops should be 6 inchesper 50' (see Illustration 7 for drop sag).

Note: Drop sag depends on type and weight of cable. Consult

cable manufacturer for correct sag.

Refer to NEC 830 requirements.

House Attachment - underground (see Illustration 8)

We recommend that CIC (cable-in-conduit) or conduit be usedfor the underground drop installation to give protection to the

cable from abrasion and the environment. Drops should beburied in accordance with requirements of Article 830 of theNational Electrical Code (NEC) or be protected by an approvedprotective device. The NEC Article 830 requires primary protec-tion against surge, i.e. lightning, and fault protection againstany open or short circuit that may occur on coaxial cablebetween the tap and the network interface device (NID). Thenecessity of such protection is to assure public safety whencoaxial cable is not buried a minimum depth of 18" as statedin NEC Article 830.

If there is an enclosure the conduit should extend to the enclosure.

The coaxial cable drop should contact the house within 2 to 4feet of the power contact point.


House Attachment - to bonding device

Cable will be attached to the house from the point of attachmentto the bonding device using clips that are secured by screws.Theonly exception is on a vinyl or aluminum siding where UV moldedpolymer horizontal and vertical clips should be used. Cable clipsshould be placed approximately every 3’ when routing the cablevertically, with a minimum of 3 clips and 12”-18”apart when rout-ing the cable horizontally (see Illustration 9).

When routing cable across surfaces such as, brick, cementblock, and tile, etc., we recommend that all cable clips besecured into an anchor or using appropriate screws for brick ormasonry, that has been pre-installed by first drilling the proper

diameter hole and then inserting the anchor.

When routing cable at corners, care should be taken to ensurethat radius loops are installed to prevent the cable sheathfrom kinking (see Illustration 10).


Demarcation Point

All bonding and grounding equipment should be UL® approvedor listed.The grounding device that bonds the drop to the powerground should be placed at a working height of 4-5’ in an acces-sible location near the power meter and outside the home perNEC code (see Illustration 9).

For protection and aesthetics, we recommend a demarcationNetwork Interface Device (NID) to encase the grounding device(see Illustration 11). This protects the grounding device, splitter,and “F“ connections. It also ensures proper radius loops, ground

wire bonding point, and lock for prevention of signal theft.

Upgrades or downgrades or additional outlets can causeunpainted or different colored surfaces to be exposed andnew mounting holes to be added to the customer’s house forgrounding blocks or splitters. The use of a NID will eliminate allof those potential problems.

Inside the NID, we recommend the use of a low profile groundblock as the grounding device. This is the minimum that theNID would contain. In addition, a 2, 3, or 4-way splitter can beinstalled in the NID, as well as traps and house amplifiers,depending upon customer needs. This requires a jumperbetween the ground block and the splitter (see Illustration 11).Many drop splitters function as ground blocks.

Approved NIDs are also upgradable to allow the installation oftelephony terminations within the same enclosure as the cableTV terminations.

When not using a NID, grounding devices and splitters shouldbe mounted so that all “F” interface connections are made hori-zontally. All cables connecting to these devices should haveminimum radius bends and/or loops that are made below thehorizontal entry point (use the formulas found in sections 5.2.3.5.3.2.) (see Illustration 12).

Drop Grounding and Bonding

The purpose of bonding the cable drop is to limit damagingvoltages that may be present on the cable from external

sources such as power lines, downed poles or lightning strikes.

To comply with the NEC Sections 820-33, 820-40, and 250-71(b),the coaxial cable drop must be bonded to the power ground.However, we recommend that you consult your local PUC(Public Utility Commission) for the local and state codes andregulations that are being enforced for grounding and bonding.

Common Ground

All utilities entering a subscriber's house must be bondedtogether as a “common ground”. This reduces the overall resis-tance to ground and equalizes the potentials which mightappear between cable sheaths or the outermost layer of thecable. Residential bonding and grounding systems are com-monly referred to as the building electrode system.

The grounding point for the drop should be located as close aspossible to both the point where the subscriber drop contactsthe house and to the power ground. Sometimes the best rout-ing of the drop cable is parallel to the power drop.

The ground block, or approved splitter with ground wire provi-sion is the only secure and approved way of bonding the broad-band communications system to earth ground and the housecommon electrode system.The ground block also serves as anexcellent point for troubleshooting problems in the drop system.

All ground wire should be as short and straight as possi-ble. Long lengths of ground wire or ground wire withsharp bends are not effective in providing a low resis-tance path to high voltages associated with power linesor lightning strikes. Bends or long ground wire lengthsshould be avoided, even if this means relocating theattachment point or the ground block.

Bond vs. Ground

A “ground” is a conductor connection to earth. A ground canhappen intentionally or by accident. When a service is “effec-tively grounded” it means that the service is intentionally con-nected to earth through one or more ground connections oflow impedance, having the ability to carry enough current toprevent the buildup of voltage.

The wire that should be used to ground the installation will beinsulated, made of copper, and not smaller than 14 gauge. The


73

wire should be as short and straight as possible and be guard-ed from any physical damage that could cut the conductor orlimit its current carrying capacity.

A “bond” is the connection of different ground conductors cou-pled together using a bonding conductor of #6 wire or larger.Two or more grounds that are bonded together are treated as asingle electrode system, limiting the potential differencebetween them and their associated wiring system.

Grounding Methods

There are three methods of grounding that will apply in most situations:

1. Bonding to the power service grounding conductor

2. Bonding to the power service metal conduit

3. Bonding to the cold water system

The NEC guidelines say that you can bond to a cold water pipe butthis should be used as a last resort only.There are some precautionsthat you should take when trying to use the cold water system.

1. Make sure all of the pipe is metal into the ground. If you findany evidence that plastic pipe is being used inside the houseyou cannot ground to the cold water system.

2. There has to be a bonding wire around the water metersince the meter might contain non-conductive parts. Thewater meter is not considered continuous and must bebypassed with a #6 bonding jumper.

3.The cold water pipe should be grounded to power neutral.Typically this is done in the basement or crawlspace of a house.

Hot water systems are not usable due to the couplers at thejoints. Ground rods are not an acceptable alternative to prop-er grounding. If separate ground rods are used, a bondingjumper of #6 or larger must be used to connect all thegrounds of the system. Metal underground gas piping shallNEVER be used as a point of grounding.

Mobile Homes

Mobile homes have special applications.The proper way toground a drop for a mobile home is at the service equipmentlocation (tap). It must be within sight of the mobile home and notmore that 30 feet from the exterior wall of the home it serves.


74

The metal frame of the mobile home can be used as a groundif the frame is effectively grounded. If the mobile home is pow-ered with a cord and plug or if there is no service disconnect,you should bond to the frame. Ground wire used for mobilehomes should not be smaller than #12 and bonding to themetal siding is NOT acceptable.

Outlet LocationsAll drop cables installed from the grounding device or splitter to theoutlet shall be classified as indoor cable and shall comply with theinterior cable specifications previously noted under Cable Types.

All cable TV outlets must be “home-run”to a common junction loca-tion.Typically, this is at or near the grounding device or near the ser-vice entrance or utility area. In any case, it should be accessible.

The drop cable should be fastened to the house from the ground-ing device or splitter location to the entry point using the sameinstallation procedures previously noted under House Attachment.

At all entry points, weatherproof feed-through bushings will beinstalled and sealed with RTV silicone (if possible). All drop cables,before entering the feed-through bushing, will be routed into a mini-mum of a 5” drip loop. Use caution when bending the cable throughthe bushing, so that the cable is not bent at a tight 90 degree turn.

The cable outlets will be installed at the same height on the wall asthe adjacent electrical outlets. Position the hole behind the televisionset or other furnishing that will help hide it, close to but not less than6”from the electrical outlet.When drilling the hole, slant the drill so thehole is slightly lower on the outside than the inside.This helps preventwater from entering the walls. Be careful not to drill into hidden houseelectrical wiring. Use of telephone or electrical entrance holes is strictlyprohibited for coaxial cable (see Illustration 14).

Note: Always drill the hole from the inside of the house to the out-side. The only exception might be to minimize damage to spe-cific types of siding, such as slate, tile or possibly brick, causedby pressure exerted by the drill while drilling.

Secure the wall plate to the wall with 2 screws. If the wall plate isbeing secured to sheetrock, wall mollies should be pre-installed,and the wall plate fastened to them (see Illustration 15).

An F-81 should be installed in the wall plate to allow a cable interface.

Preparing RG6, RG59 and RG11 Drop Cables with Digicon®

Cable Stripping Tools

Part # 202478, PSR59/6 cable stripping tool is intended for use on allRG59 and RG6 cables. One extra replacement blade part # 202479,PSC59/6 is included with each tool. The number of cable preps perblade will vary with cable braid type used.

Part # 253003, PSR11 cable stripping tool is for all RG11 cables. Oneextra replacement blade part # 211784, PSC11 is included with eachtool. The number of cable preps per blade will vary with cable braidtype used.

1) Cut the cable squarely across the end with a quality cable cuttersuch as the 023561 UPB76. If necessary squeeze the cut end ofthe cable with your fingers to return the end of the cable to around shape. If dual or messengered cable is used, completelyremove approximately 1-1/2” of the rib prior to preparation.

2) Open the stripper’s jaws and place the freshly cut cable endagainst the stop. Release the handle and close the jaw on thecable. Turn the stripper clockwise 3-5 times for RG59 and RG6cables, 5-7 times for RG11 cables.

3) While the jaws are still closed, pull the cable out of the stripper.Open the jaws to remove the scrap cable ends. Trim and removeany long braid stems. Long braid stems are an indication thatblade replacement is due. Fold all braid back over the cable jack-et. Avoid tearing the foil around the center dielectric. If you arepreparing quad shielded cable, fold back both layers of braid aswell as the intermediate layer of foil, being careful to avoid lettingthe braid touch the center conductor.

4) Cable has now been properly prepared with a 1/4” braid and 1/4”center conductor stinger and is ready for connectorization withany of the many connectors that requires a 1/4 - 1/4 prep.

5) To replace blades in the RG6/59 stripper, simply use an awl orother small tipped tool to push the retaining pin out. The RG11tool has a threaded pin than can be easily removed by twistingcounter clockwise.

Token: A unique combination of bits used in LANs to grant permis-sion to a station to transmit. In a ring network, the token circulatescontinuously; in a bus it must be addressed.

Token Ring: A topology in which a token must be received by a terminal or workstation before that terminal or workstation can starttransmitting.

Tone Dial: A push-button telephone dial that makes a differentsound (in fact, a combination of two tones) for each number pushed.The technically correct name for tone dial is Dual Tone MultiFrequency, or DTMF.

Toner: Device used to apply an electrical signal to a circuit to assist inidentification or fault location.

Topology: Physical routing of cable plant within a building either in astar, bus or ring configuration – such as the physical topology of a LAN.

Total Internal Reflection: Confinement of light within a fiber becausethe angle of incidence is within the numerical aperture.

Transceiver: A single device capable of both sending and receivinginformation.

Transfer Impedance: A measure of shield effectiveness.

Transient: An abrupt change in voltage, of short duration, which maycause signal impairments, loss of memory or physical damage toequipment.

Transition Point: Location of a change in facilities or means (e.g.,where flat cable connects to round).

Transmission Media: Wire, coaxial cable, fiber optics, air or vacuum,which is used to carry an electrical signal.

Transmitter (TX): An optoelectric circuit that converts an electricallogic signal to an optical signal.

Trench: A narrow furrow dug into the earth for the direct installationof buried cable or for the installation of troughs or ducts.

Trunk: A specialized communications path between two points,one of them usually being a telephone company central office orswitching center.

Tugger: Device that acts as an assist mechanism for advancing acable or groups of cables during installation.

Twisted Pair: Two insulated copper wires twisted around each otherto reduce induction (thus interference) from one wire to the other. Thetwists, or lays, are varied in length to reduce the potential for signalinterference between pairs. Several sets of twisted pair wires may beenclosed in a single cable. In cables greater than 25 pairs, the twistedpairs are grouped and bound together.

Two Point Method: A method used to measure optical fiber cableloss utilizing two closely spaced cursors on an OTDR.

USOC: Universal Service Order Code. An old Bell system term identifyinga particular service or equipment offered under tariff.

UTP - Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable: Cables made up of multipletwisted pairs without additional metallic shielding; an insulatingsheath or cable jacket protects the twisted pairs.

V-Groove: Position in fusion splicer where fiber strand is placed.

Glossary

125

Velocity of Propagation: The speed of transmission along a cable rel-ative to the speed of light in a vacuum.

Voice Grade Line: A communications channel that can transmit andreceive voice frequencies (300-3000 Hz).

Volt: Unit of electromotive force or potential difference which will causea current of one ampere to flow through a resistance of one ohm.

Volt-ohm-meter (VOM): An instrument used to measure electricalcharacteristics.

Wand: Test device used to detect a signal placed on a cable for thepurpose of identification.

Wavelength: The length of an electromagnetic waveform as mea-sured from any point on one wave to the corresponding point on anadjacent wave. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency.

Wide Area Network (WAN): Computer networks where devices areconnected over extended distances using telecommunications links,such as telephone lines, satellites and microwave connections, ratherthan a length of cable.

Wideband: A communications channel or medium having a band-width sufficient to carry multiple voice/video or data signals simulta-neously. (See Broadband)

Wire Management: Components placed on racks or walls to supportthe routing of cables.

Wire Map Tester: An instrument used to determine circuit opens,shorts, crossed pairs, improper wiring and the determination of properpin configuration; additionally, some units indicate cable length.

Wiring Closet: A termination point for customer premises wiringdesigned to offer access to service personnel.

Workstation: A telecommunications device used in communicatingwith another telecommunications device.
