7.3 Student Housing

UCONN’s SMATV video system in residence halls or apartment buildings require interdiction taps

to provide service to all video WAO locations. UNIVERSITY ITS controls interdiction units using

an automated system.

Interdiction units require line-powered 60VAC for operation, and require additional internal

directional couplers, pads and equalizers to be correctly configured and installed for operation.

Interdiction units have specific, manufacturer recommended operational windows for input and

output levels for proper operation.

In cases where one residence unit may require multiple drops, a splitter may be installed in the

TR, in close proximity to the VMIU. Layout of splitter and cable management shall be presented

prior to installation and approved by UNIVERSITY ITS. Drop amplifiers are not permitted to

extend horizontal coaxial lengths unless approved by UNIVERSITY ITS in writing.

Power passing taps shall be used to provide signal and power to each VMIU. In cases where a

single VMIU port feeds multiple horizontal runs, all performance requirements at the WAO

locations shall be met. Length of the cable runs shall be considered in the design due to the

limited output levels of the interdiction devices. Determining maximum horizontal cable length by

calculating the output levels of taps to accommodate multiple locations within each residence unit

is the responsibility of the system designer/engineer.

7.3.1 Testing Interdiction in Student Housing

UNIVERSITY ITS shall be provided with a document identifying the VMIU port-to-room

assignments. This information is used to map the specific interdiction port address used to

serve a specific room and shall include: interdiction unit serial and digital numbers from the

barcode label on the housing, building name as identified by UCONN, and the corresponding



room/suite numbers as assigned by UCONN. UNIVERSITY ITS shall receive this information

at least five days prior to testing. For installations of more than 12 interdiction units,

additional time will be required to input the data into the interdiction system controller prior to

operational testing.

Two operational tests will be used to verify interdiction unit configuration and operation. One

test is a visual inspection of each output port. This test is performed with a cable ready

television at the WAO. Video service is turned on and off using the management system.

The other test checks the interdiction units. Each port shall be shown to jam channels 49-53.

Both of these tests require a coordinated effort. UNIVERSITY ITS will work with the installer

and assist in controlling the video signal from the head end. Both UNIVERSITY ITS and the

installer will perform the inspections at the WAOs.

7.3.2 Leakage Testing

UNIVERSITY ITS will conduct a cumulative signal leakage survey of the SMATV video

system and coaxial cable plant after installation and prior to building occupancy. The project

schedule shall accommodate time for UNIVERSITY ITS to perform leakage testing and for

the installer to correct and repair all leaks exceeding FCC regulation. UNIVERSITY ITS will

require a minimum of 3 days notice to schedule and prepare for testing and a minimum of 1

working day for every 48 horizontal coaxial drops to perform inspections and system testing.

UNIVERSITY ITS will provide a list of all leaks exceeding the FCC stated maximum of 20

µV/m measured at 3 meters. The contractor shall be responsible for repairing any signal leak

beyond 20 µV/m as required to be within compliance of FCC regulations. The reported leaks

shall be repaired and documentation of the repairs shall be submitted to UNIVERSITY ITS

before UCONN will accept the system as complete.

UCONN uses colored jacks in addition to location in the faceplate to identify the jack application. A jack

that matches the faceplate shall identify voice applications and a green jack shall identify LAN applications.

Where applicable, the top position of the faceplate shall be used for voice, the bottom or middle position for

LAN and the bottom position for SMATV video.

Each faceplate shall be identified with a 5-digit label. This format shall identify the room number and the

outlet location within the room. For example: 101.02 would be room 101 (101.02), outlet location 2

(101.02).

To denote outlet locations for building automation systems, use the appropriate symbol shown above for

denoting the requirements. In addition, include the intended use for the outlet. Some examples for

building automation systems WAO symbols are as follows. 2HVAC

2PowerMonitoring

2Elevator

2Fire

2POS



WAO Faceplate Labeling

Work area outlets (WAO) shall be labeled with a 5-digit number. The number shall consist of the 3-digit

room number and the 2-digit faceplate number within the room. WAO shall be numbered starting on the

left when entering a room and continue numbering clockwise around the room. In instances where rooms

are nested within another room and denoted with a letter (see Room 106), drop the letter and continue

numbering with the left most WAO (in the subset room) and continue clockwise until the room, or suite of

rooms, is complete.

From WAO to Splitter

In student housing, each cable shall be labeled with the

corresponding 5-digit WAO faceplate label and connected to a VMIU. An additional label tag (Thomas &

Betts TY551M) identifying the 3-digit room number shall be fastened on the cable near the VMIU. Where

multiple drops from one apartment are connected to a splitter, only the cable from the splitter to the VMIU

needs to have the additional 3-digit room number tag.
