SECTION 16742

[INTRA-BUILDING TELECOMMUNICATION NEW SYSTEM]{.underline}

# [PART 1 - GENERAL]{.underline}

## 1.01 SUMMARY

A. Section 16742 covers the products to be used and the specifications
for executing intra-building telecommunication cabling both for new
construction and remodeling projects at Sandia National Laboratories,
New Mexico (reference to Sandia/NM here after refers to this site). The
specification is addressed to any contractor selected to perform such
work at Sandia. All work must be performed as described in this
specification, on Sandia-supplied drawings, and in the contract
documents. In general,

1\. The cable system must be installed following manufacturer's
instructions and following the design in its entirety as described in
Sandia/NM's Statement of Work, on drawings, and in this construction
standard specification.

2\. Supply all products, tools, consumables, and test equipment needed
to complete the project described in the Statement of Work. Some
products may be Sandia/NM-furnished material (SFM) as noted in the
contract documents and on the drawings.

B. Definitions of Cabling Systems

1\. Intra-Building Cable: Telecommunication cable within a building.

2\. Inter-Building Cable: Telecommunication cable between buildings.

3\. AVAYA Technologies: A company formerly named Lucent that certifies
telecommunication personnel and equipment in the United States.

C. Safety issues

1\. Consult with the Sandia/NM-delegated representative (SDR) to
ascertain whether any areas are defined as confined spaces according to
OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910 requiring special permits for access, and if so,
obtain the permits. Comply with requirements of OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910,
Section 146 when working in permit-required confined spaces; see section
1.02 C., References.

2\. Install all cable in accordance with the National Electrical Code
(NEC) 70 of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), see section
1.02 B., References.

3\. The location of hazardous materials areas is shown on the drawings,
and the following directions must be followed in such areas:

a\. Avoid disturbing hazardous materials in making acceptable
modifications of raceway routing, mounting equipment, and other work.

b\. Do not mount conduit, equipment, hangers, and other accessories on
surface materials known to contain asbestos or other hazardous materials
without written authorization from the SDR outlining the method of
installation.

c\. If hazardous materials or conditions not shown on the drawings are
encountered, stop work immediately and vacate the area. Immediately
notify the SDR of the condition and do not enter the area or work in the
area until receiving written authorization from the SDR.

D. The drawings, which Sandia/NM supplies, delineate the intra-building
cable system by locations of intermediate distribution rooms (IDR), user
outlets, rack frame, and cabinet locations. Sandia/NM now supplies only
one set of drawings both for RED and BLACK data systems for new
construction. RED and BLACK data systems will be fiber only and will
share the same conduit system. Voice outlet locations and termination
frames will also be on this set of drawings.

Raceway and cable routing shown on drawings are not intended to show all
support or mounting hardware, or raceway bends, kicks, offsets, and
couplings.

E. The contract documents describe which portions of the drawing package
are applicable to this particular project. You must address any
discrepancies between contract documents and the drawing package with
the SDR and Sandia's Telecommunication Operations Department.

F. Variations: Drawings and other contract documents indicate the basic
location, arrangement, and routing of equipment and components. If you
wish to make any variations from these specifications based on the site
investigation outlined in section 3.01 or for other reasons,

1\. Submit a detailed description of proposed improvements and
modifications to the SDR for review. Include drawings, manufacturer's
literature, and a detailed description of functional improvements.

2\. Do not incorporate modifications and associated work until receiving
written approval from the SDR.

G. The project may contain RED \[Sandia Classified Network (SCN)\],
BLACK \[Sandia Restricted Network (SRN)\], Sandia Open Network (SON),
and telephony systems.

RED systems require special security procedures. Contact Sandia\'s
Network Control Center (NCC) at (505) 844-8670 to request the Protected
Transmission System (PTS) Site Manager for information supplementing
this specification. All work performed on RED systems must comply with
United States Department of Energy (DOE) requirements, which may or may
not be explicitly indicated or noted in the contract documents for the
project.

H. Contractor-furnished material and/or SFM may be used as detailed in
the Statement of Work and/or elsewhere in contract documents for the
project.

I. In addition to the requirements stated here, the following
specifications must also be followed in performing this work:

1.  Section 01065, "Environment, Safety and Health for Construction
    Contracts."

2.  Section 01330, \"Submittal Procedures."

you, the contractor. You must revise the initial progress schedule and
resubmit it to the SDR for review and approval.

C. When all conflicts between contract documents and site-investigation
information have been resolved, certify in writing that the site
investigation has been completed and that:

1\. Except for items noted, the conditions shown and described in the
contract documents are correct.

2\. Equipment can be installed, and work can be performed as specified
without conflicts with existing site conditions.

## 3.02 TYPICAL OUTLET CONFIGURATION FOR EACH USER LOCATION

A. Each voice outlet must include one copper cable terminated on a
faceplate with an 8-pin modular jack. In addition to the copper voice
outlet install, an all fiber data outlet with conduit system shall be
installed for each user to include two 50-micron four-fiber MM cables
(one four-fiber MM cable for RED and one four-fiber MM cable for BLACK),
and two four-fiber SM cables (one four-fiber SM cable for RED and one
four-fiber SM cable for BLACK). See Table 2 for product specifications.
If drawings or other contract documents indicate installation of less
than the above minimum capability, you must immediately notify the SDR
and the Telecommunication Operations Department. Deviations from the
above minimum standard must be authorized in writing from the
Telecommunication Operations Department before installation.

## 3.03 ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

A. A 100-amp, three-phase, 120/208-volt electrical panel must be
installed in each IDR. If power panel is not shown on power plans or
other construction drawings, notify the SDR before construction begins.

B. Two 20-amp 110-volt dedicated electrical circuits with 20-amp
receptacles, and two 20-amp 220-volt dedicated electrical circuits with
20-amp receptacles must be installed in each communications equipment
cabinet,. If the receptacles are not shown on power plans or other
construction drawings, notify the SDR before construction begins.

C. Install electrical grounding and cable tray layout per standard
drawing T-1001STD.

D. Lighting in all IDRs and MDRs must have electrical magnetic
interference (EMI) filters installed.

E. The electrical equipment listed on standard drawings must be used
without substitutions. Substitutions may only be used if approved in
writing by the Telecommunication Operations Department.

F. The dedicated electrical panel in the IDR should only feed the access
control system, ISDN bulk power supplies and the communications
equipment cabinets. All other convenience receptacles, lighting and fan
coil unit shall be fed from other electrical sources. If this
requirement conflicts with other construction documents, notify the SDR
before construction begins.

G. An InfoGraphic access control system must be installed. If the access
control system is not shown on construction drawings, notify the SDR
before construction begins.

H. Adhere to all standard telecommunication drawings. If standard
drawings are not issued as part of the drawing package, or if the
standard drawings conflict with other contract documents, notify the SDR
before construction begins.

## 3.04 CONDUIT

A.  Conduit entrances into an IDR or MDR must be perpendicular to the
    cable tray or equipment cabinet (and/or ceiling). Do not use
    horizontal conduit entrances, unless pre-approved by the
    Telecommunication Operations Department in writing. Communications
    conduit shall not exceed 270 of bend between pull boxes. Conduit
    runs shall not exceed 100' without pullboxes. Special measures to
    protect cabling must be undertaken, in this case at the direction of
    the SDR. Conduits smaller than 1-1/2 inch should not be stubbed
    directly into the IDR. Instead, they must be routed into a backbone
    pullbox, which connects with larger conduits to the IDR. Conduit
    shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) fill for new construction. If
    additional cabling is installed in existing conduits do not exceed
    forty percent (40%) fill. A new conduit backbone shall be installed
    once the existing backbone is at forty percent (40%) fill.

B.  Ensure that existing conduits are clean and free of obstructions
    before pulling cable. All communication cables must be pulled by a
    Sandia approved AVAYA Value Added Reseller (VAR). Install grounding
    bushings on all conduits before pulling cable.

C. Secure conduit in place with positive anchorage devices designed and
sized to withstand stresses, vibration, and distortion.

D. Ensure that concealed pathways for vertical conduit drops, such as
the drops from the ceiling space to a flush-mounted junction box behind
a data user outlet, are continuous conduit from inside the junction box
within a wall to an accessible location, such as above a lay-in ceiling.
This vertical run of conduit, whether RED communications are installed
in it or not, must be continuous intermediate metal conduit, terminated
with locknut and bushing inside the junction box to which the data user
outlet is mounted. Consult the Sandia Protected Transmission System
(PTS) Site Manager for guidance where conduit cannot be continuous
without coupling. A PTS/CDIN inspector certified by the Sandia PTS site
manager must inspect intermediate metal conduit before the conduit is
covered up, for example, by drywall. All flush-mounted fiber user
outlets with conduit behind the drywall must have a sticker indicting
Tamper-indicating prismatic seals (TIPS) and or CDIN are in the wall.
This sticker must be installed on the data outlet that contains
terminated RED fiber and is supplied by the Telecommunication Operations
Department. Surface-mounted conduit is preferred and will not require
this sticker. IMC conduit must be installed in all Dowcraft walls.
Dowcraft walls will be treated the same as walls covered in drywall.

F.  Red terminated fiber: TIPS must be installed by a PTS/CDIN
    Inspector, certified by the Sandia/NM PTS site manager, on any
    non-inspectable (concealed) conduit couplings and connectors. ONLY
    connectors and couplings rendered non-inspectable require these
    seals. You must install all KNOWN concealed conduit in such a manner
    as to avoid use of TIPS as much as is practicable. Consult with
    Sandia's PTS Site Manager for alternate installation methods, which
    may be used after approval by the SDR. Surface-mounted conduit from
    the user outlet to above the lay-in-ceiling is desirable if
    couplings are to be used.

> G. TIPS must be installed on connectors at conduit rough-in, and on
> concealed couplings for example, before conduit is made
> non-inspectable by installation of building finishes. A certified
> PTS/CDIN Inspector must be present when drywall is installed or
> removed if it conceals conduits. In addition, existing TIPS seals may
> only be removed by a certified PTS/CDIN inspector. Contact
> Telecommunication Operations Department for inspection 48 hours prior
> to the removal of drywall containing TIPS or CDIN.
>
> H. Conduit Removal: Prior to opening up or removing any wall that has
> telecommunications conduit, you must check both sides of the wall for
> the warning sticker. If a warning sticker is located, follow the
> instructions on the sticker to arrange for a PTS/CDIN Certified
> Inspector to be present when the telecommunications conduit is
> initially exposed. This must be done to verify that the conditions of
> the installation observed by the PTS/CDIN Certified Inspector during
> the construction inspection (before the walls were buttoned up) have
> not changed.

## 3.05 CABLE INSTALLATION

A. Horizontally and Vertically Installed Cable

1\. Do not use any cable lubricant.

2\. Plan cable pulls so that the maximum number of cables required in a
conduit are pulled simultaneously.

3\. Route cables via conduit and pullboxes for OF data communications.
Copper cable pathways for voice should be either plenum-rated cable or
in conduit as identified and shown on the drawings.

a\. Horizontal cable pathways for copper voice cabling may be exposed
within the ceiling space. Horizontal cabling bridging any inaccessible
area must be installed in conduit or as indicated on the drawings.
Wide-base cable support clips approved for such use by a nationally
recognized testing laboratory such as UL must support exposed cabling
above the ceiling space at intervals of no greater than four \~ five
feet on center. Exposed cabling must be routed in bundles of no more
than 50 cables with runs parallel or perpendicular to walls and
structural members. It must also be parallel to intersections of
vertical planes and ceilings and must remain as accessible as possible
after all building utilities have been installed.

b\. All copper cable must be routed in such a manner as to avoid
possible transmission interference or degradation from all EMI sources
present within the ceiling spaces, plenums, floors and walls where such
cabling is installed. (For example, electrical ballast in light fixtures
causes EMI and this can interfere with how the cable performs.)

4.  Individual voice copper cable lengths must not exceed 300 meters
    (984 feet) from an IDR termination frame to a Voice outlet. If a
    cable length exceeds this distance, notify the SDR. Do not place any
    cable at longer distances until directed to do so by the SDR.

5.  If deviations from drawings are required, the SDR must approve them
    before the affected cables are placed.

6.  Do not install more cables in conduit than 40 percent fill unless
    approved in writing by the SDR. All drawings must indicate conduit
    fill at the time of design.

7.  If indirect attachments are used, match the grip diameter and length
    to the cable diameter and characteristics. Reduce pulling forces to
    ensure that optical fibers or twisted pair copper conductors are not
    damaged from forces being transmitted to strength member.

8.  Do not exceed the maximum pulling tension specified by the cable
    manufacturer.

9.  Inspect the cable jacket carefully for defects as the cable is
    played off the reel.

10. Take precautions during installation to prevent the cable from being
    kinked, crushed, or being mishandled.

11. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable as recommended by
    the manufacturer. You are responsible for determining the minimum
    bend radii for cable being placed using the manufacturer's latest
    information. You are also required that the conduit system
    installation will not exceed the bend radii for cable being
    installed. The following minimum bend radius information is provided
    only as general guidance:

other cables.

2\. After combing and straightening cables, separate cables into bundles
according to routing requirements and termination points.

3\. Secure cable bundles with the hook-and-loop cable strap material
listed in Table 2. Do not use cable ties manufactured from hard polymer
material, such as plastic or nylon.

4\. Begin to comb, bundle and strap cables within 2 inches (51 mm) of
exit from conduit. Apply cable straps to bundles at intervals no greater
than 12 inches (305 mm) for the entire length of the vertical and
horizontal run.

E. Splices: Do not use splices in cabling.

1\. Splices are not allowed in user drop voice cable or user drop fiber
data cable. Splices are permitted in other cable types only as a last
resort, subject to the following conditions:

a\. Written approval is obtained from Sandia\'s Telecommunication
Operations Department before the cable is spliced. (Approval is issued
only on a case-by-case basis.)

b\. The location and type of the splice is documented as part of the
as-built and record drawings.

c\. Cable is retested after splicing. If the cable fails the test,
notify the SDR of the problem and provide proposed procedures to
eliminate the deficiency.

d\. You correct the deficiency and retest all cables that failed test
procedures.

F. Install rack-mounted termination panels, and frames as described in
contract documents. Fiber will be terminated on termination panels.
Termination panels will be install in equipment cabinets. Install
termination panels so that the front face of the panel is mounted eight
(8) inches back from the front door of the equipment cabinet. For
equipment cabinets containing electronics railing and power receptacles
need to be installed so that the rail will slide from front to back
without interference from the power outlets installed at the top of the
cabinet. Copper voice cables will be terminated on a frame secured to
the floor. The top of the termination frame will be secured to the back
wall with a minimum of six (6) inches from back of frame to wall.

BLACK side of room and drops in above termination frame to avoid the use
of cable tray.

K. Install RED and BLACK fiber conduit so that it first enters a RED
termination equipment cabinet and a BLACK termination equipment cabinet
in an IDR or MDR to avoid the use of a cable tray. If a cable tray is
needed, it must be installed per standard drawings. Copper cabling is
not allowed in fiber cabinets. See the details on standard drawing
T-9001STD, \"Backbone Raceway System Red and/or Black.\"

## 3.06 LABELING

successful termination.

a\. One meter (3 feet) slack at user outlets.

b.  One and one-half meters (5 feet) at LIUs and/or fiber termination
    shelf.

2\. Firmly attach Aramid yarn-strength members at both ends of the cable
to prevent pullback damage.

C. Copper Cables: Terminate both ends of cables.

1\. After termination, provide cables with enough cable slack for clean
dress and to prevent stress and sharp bends on cables.

2\. Provide extra cable slack for four-pair cables to allow replacement
of connectors. Provide cables greater than four-pair with a minimum of 3
meters (10 feet) slack after successful termination. Neatly store the
slack in a cable tray if used, or fasten to the wall adjacent to the
termination location.

3\. Install T568A eight-position, modular, four-pair copper connectors
at user outlets and wall plates, as listed in Table 2.

4\. For copper, terminate four-pair cables in the IDR on 110 blocks as
shown in Table 2.

unacceptable test results.

D. Daily Test Equipment Preparation: Properly configure cable test
equipment each day before testing and include the following:

1.  Verify that the test equipment is still within the manufacturer's
    calibration warranty period.

2.  Verify that the test equipment is set to "auto test" and that proper
    cable type and associated parameters are selected.

3.  Verify that the test equipment's selected nominal velocity of
    propagation matches the cable being tested.

4.  Perform a self-test of test equipment to confirm its proper ability
    to function.

5.  Connect test equipment to its matched "smart" terminator and perform
    an auto test to confirm that the test equipment and terminator are
    functioning properly.

E. Copper Cable Tests: Use an EIA/TIA TSB-67 Level-2 tester to
automatically perform the following tests.

1\. Line Mapping (End-to-End Connectivity). Check four-pair wiring for
proper wiring configuration, open conductors, shorted conductors,
crossed pairs, and reversed pairs.

2\. Loop Resistance (DC-Steady State). Connect an ohmmeter across one
end of the cable pair with the shorting terminator across the other end
of the cable pair.

a.  Measure steady-state DC resistance and compare it to the cable
    manufacturer's standard values.

b.  Values greater than allowed resistance are considered to have
    failed, and values smaller than allowed resistance are considered to
    have passed.

## 3.09 ACCEPTANCE

A. Optical fiber cable acceptance values are derived from approximately
seventy percent (mean plus or minus one standard deviation) of component
tolerances. Values shown below represent the worst-case acceptability.
Typical results should approach the manufacturer's published statistical
averages.

B. Worst-case test values, as shown in Appendix B, Optical Fiber Cable
Test Forms, are derived from the following formula:

1.  Worst-Case Acceptable Multi-Mode Optical Link Attenuations:

a\. 2 SC® connectors plus 300 ft. optical cable

> = (2 x 0.55 dB) + (0.09 km x 3.4 dB/km)
>
> = 1.1 dB + 0.31 dB
>
> = 1.41 dB
>
> 1.4 dB for 850 nm
>
> 1.2 dB for 1300 nm

b\. 2 LC® connectors plus 300 ft. optical cable

> = (2 x 0.2 dB) + (0.09 km x 3.4 dB/km)
>
> = 0.4 dB + 0.31 dB
>
> = 0.71 dB
>
> 0.7 dB for 850 nm
>
> 0.5 dB for 1300 nm
>
> The link attenuation is for multi-mode fiber cable lengths based on
> 300 ft. 62.5-micron fiber (used only in facilities that have existing
> 62.5 to the desktop) must not exceed 300 ft. 50-micron Lazerspeed 300
> (used in new facilities and major remodels) may be installed up to 984
> ft. Attenuation for 50-micron will differ from above in cables
> installed at greater than 300 ft. It is your responsibility to
> understand the manufacture's allowable attenuation of such cables.

2.  Worst-Case Acceptable Single-Mode Optical Link Attenuations:

a\. 2 ST® II connectors plus 300 ft. optical cable

> = (2 x 0.55 dB) + (0.09 km x 0.4 dB/km)
>
> = 1.1 dB + 0.04 dB
>
> = 1.14 dB
>
> 1.1 dB for both 1310 and 1550 nm

b\. 2 SC® connectors plus 300 ft. optical cable

> = (2 x 0.55 dB) + (0.09 km x 0.4 dB/km)
>
> = 1.1 dB + 0.04 dB
>
> = 1.14 dB for both 1310nm and 1550nm

c\. 2 LC® connectors plus 300 ft. optical cable

> = (2 x 0.2 dB) + (0.09 km x 0.4 dB/km)
>
> = 0.4 dB + 0.04 dB
>
> = 0.44 dB for both 1310nm and 1550nm

3\. Worst-Case Acceptable Optical Link Return Loss:

a\. 2 ST® II connectors plus 300 ft. optical cable

> =40 dB for both 1310 and 1550 nm

b\. 2 LC® connectors plus 300 ft. optical cable

> =45 dB for both 1310 and 1550 nm
>
> The link attenuation is for single-mode fiber cable lengths based on
> 300 ft. Single-mode fiber (used only in facilities that have existing
> single-mode to the desk top) must not exceed 300 ft. Attenuation for
> single-mode fiber used for campus-wide backbone will differ from the
> above. In cables installed at greater than 300 ft. It is your
> responsibility, to understand the manufacture's allowable attenuation
> of such cables.
