Expectations 1.1. This set of standards outlines the requirements for new building construction and building remodel projects for the City of Fort Collins, as it pertains to the City Network and its related components. 1.2. The City’s IT department will be providing all telecommunication and networking services to new construction and remodeling projects. The Network Administration Manager or his/her designate will serve as the IT Project Engineer for this work. It is expected that all decisions pertaining to telecommunications and networking for new and existing facilities will be addressed through the IT Project Engineer. The IT Project Engineer will be a member of the project design team for any project involving the City network and telecommunications. The IT Project Engineer will be kept informed of all timeline changes as they occur. 1.3. It is understood that remodel projects may have construction constraints not found in new construction. Such things as pre-existing walls, conduits and wiring and other constraints may make exact adherence to these Standards difficult. All exceptions to these Standards will be addressed through the IT Project Engineer. 1.4. All quotes, scope of work (SOW) and invoices associated with network cabling installations, professional services and equipment will be sent by the service provider/vendor to IT for review and processed for payment through IT. 1.5. IT utilizes specific vendors and contractors designated/selected for IT equipment purchases and professional services in accordance with City IT Standards and cabling bid specifications. 1.6 The IT Project Engineer’s communication with the building design team and/or the construction contractor, and his subcontractors, will be through the Facilities Project Manager or the designated City construction representative. The IT Project Engineer will not communicate decisions directly with the end-user, design consultants, general contractor and/or his subcontractors, independently without the Facilities Project Manager/designated City construction representative’s knowledge. 2. Definitions 2.1. Network – Includes systems that are used to transmit and/or receive voice, data and video. 2.2. Station Outlet – The jack or outlet that is used to connect/integrate a printer, server, desktop computer or other end-user device to the City IT supported network. 3. Contractor Requirements 3.1. Contractors responsible for the design, construction and/or installation of telecommunications systems, cabling and network infrastructure shall be fully conversant and capable in the cabling of low voltage applications such as, but not limited to, data, voice and video network systems. The Contractor shall, at a minimum, possess the following qualifications and abilities. 3.1.1. Registered Communications Distribution Design (RCDD) certified. G-3 3.1.2. The network distribution design, architecture and rooms will follow the latest  Building Industry Consulting Service International (BICSI Standards)  American National Standards Institute/Telecommunications Industry  Association/Electronics Industry Association (ANSI/TIA/EIA – 526, 568A, 569, 606, 607, 758). See www.bicsi.org for more information about BICSI and related standards. 3.1.3. Certifications (Project Specific)  Siemon trained, authorized and certified installers and technicians.  CommScope Uniprise trained, authorized and certified installers and technicians. 3.1.4. The designer(s) and installer(s) shall submit proof of current certifications as part of an RFP proposal response package. Should the RCDD, Siemon and CommScope Uniprise certified installers assigned to a project change during the course of the project, the new designer(s) and installer(s) are required to submit their appropriate certifications. 3.1.5. Contractor shall be the “awarded service provider” according to “The City of Fort Collins’ Requirements for Fiber Optic & Category 5e or Better Copper Cabling” RFP bid process and utilize materials as specified in “The City of Fort Collins’ Requirements for Fiber Optic and Category 5E or Better Copper Cabling” bid specifications. 3.1.6. Personnel industry trained and certified in fiber optic cabling, splicing, termination and testing techniques will be used, if such work is required on a project. Personnel must have experience and competency using a light meter and Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR). 4. Design Elements There are two major aspects of a good network/ telecommunications design: spaces and pathways. Each of these two aspects consists of multiple components as defined below. 4.1. Spaces The term “spaces” refers to the specific rooms dedicated to network and telecommunication services and/or equipment. These spaces are the Building Service Entrance, Network Closets (MDF/IDF) and Data Centers. Each has a specific function; however all are very inter-dependent. 4.1.1. Building Service Entrance 4.1.1.1. This is the room in which voice, data and video distribution media systems enter the building. These include internal sources such as inter-building connections as well as external sources such as PRPA, CenturyLink and Comcast. The room is dedicated solely for network infrastructure and associated equipment. This room often serves the dual purpose of being a Building Service Entrance Room and a Network Closet (MDF). G-4 4.1.1.2. The Building Service Entrance is a room utilized to terminate and interconnect outside cable/fiber with the backbone (data and/or voice) cable and/or fiber used throughout the building. It provides facilities for large splice containers, cable termination mounting, and possibly electrical protectors. All cabling is to be terminated on a patch panel. This space is in addition to any space required for network switching equipment or active system components. 4.1.1.3. This space should be located on the lower level. Design and location of the room should also take into consideration the route and placement of the City’s fiber and copper backbone to and from connecting buildings. The room should be within 50’ of an exterior wall. 4.1.1.4. The minimum floor space requirements, for a broad range of projects is typically 10 feet x 10 feet. Additional space may need to be provided if this room is expected to double as a Building Service Entrance and a Network Closet. The IT Project Engineer in conjunction with the designated Facilities Project Manager, along with the integrated design team, will determine if additional or less space is needed during the design phase of the project. Comment: the network space should be designed appropriately for the building just like all the other spaces. 4.1.1.5. The door to the Building Service Entrance room (network closet) needs to open outwards and be controlled by a door access system (electronic locking/fobbed). 4.1.2. Network Closet 4.1.2.1. The network closet is used to house network and telecommunications equipment intended to service users throughout the building. This type of equipment commonly includes phone systems, network equipment, video distribution systems, racks, patch panels and cabinets. The network closet is the space that also supports the cable, fiber, and the equipment necessary for transmission between the building’s backbone system and the station outlets. 4.1.2.2. Although this space may incorporate the space requirements of the Building Service Entrance by increasing the size of the room, it must be designed as a true network equipment room in terms of its support environment. The optimum effective cooling air temperature of this space is 80 degrees F with a relative humidity range of 10% to 85% non-condensing when only housing network equipment. *Note: You may wish to consider how this change may affect any future placement of servers in this space. It is important to note that some of the telecommunications equipment (e.g. servers), which may be placed in this space can only function in an environment that is between 68 degrees F and 72 degrees F effective cooling air temperature with a relative humidity range of 10% to 40%, noncondensing. Anything outside of these ranges will cause damage to those units. It is important to work with the IT Project Engineer to G-5 determine the exact specification required for this space as equipment can vary from one closet to another. *Please keep in mind that changing the optimum temperature needs to take into account a person’s suitable working environment. 4.1.2.3. The air handling system for equipment rooms must be designed to provide positive air flow and cooling 24/7 including times when the building air system is shut down or turned down during non- business hours. This may require separate air and/or cooling systems. If this room is to be used as a central communications hub, then the air handling system should be connected to the buildings backup power generation system. 4.1.2.4. The size of this room can vary depending on the communication requirements of the building but are typically 10’ x 10’. The actual dimensions will be determined by the IT Project Engineer in conjunction with the Facilities Project Manager. 4.1.2.5. The network closet should be located near the center of the building, but no farther than 290 feet (horizontal cable pathway distance) from the farthest station outlet. The average distance should be in the 100 to 200 foot range. There may be a need for more than one network closet per floor based on the design of the building. 4.1.2.6. The network closets should, if possible, be located directly above one another in a multiple story building. If the entire space cannot be located in-line, space will need to be provided for the in-line placement of backbone (riser) conduits. If a multi-story building requires two or more rooms on every floor, each series of rooms should, if possible, be stacked one above the other. Multiple rooms located on the same floor must be interconnected with conduits or cable tray. 4.1.3. General Requirements – Building Service Entrance and Network Closets 4.1.3.1. The room should be equipped with ceiling space that does not contain water pipes, air conditioning ducts, drainage pipes or other utilities crossing through. The exception to the water pipes are those pipes installed in conjunction with a fire suppression system. 4.1.3.2. Limit the possibility of flooding by configuring the surrounding floor area to drain accidental leaks before the network closet becomes involved. 4.1.3.3. Locate the equipment room away from potential sources of interference such as electrical power supply transformers, motors, generators, elevator equipment or other such devices that has the potential for creating electromagnetic fields. 4.1.3.4. Equipment rooms must be dedicated rooms and are not to be shared with other functions such as a janitorial closet, electrical closet or storage room. Fire and other alarm equipment should be located in a separate room. Placement of any non-network equipment or colocation in these rooms must be approved by the IT Project Engineer in conjunction with the integrated design team. See Section G-6 4.3 for specifics for the use of network spaces and pathways by third parties regarding placement and installation of equipment, cables and systems. 4.1.3.5. One wall, to the extent necessary, must be covered with 3/4” A-C plywood, painted and mounted vertically starting 2” above the finished floor and secured to the walls. Multiple plywood panels must be mounted in contact with one another leaving no gaps between the sheets. The IT Project Engineer will designate the location of these panels. 4.1.3.6. The lighting design shall provide sufficient overhead lights installed to provide a minimum of 540 lux (50 foot candles) illumination measured 3’ above the finished floor. These lights must be separately switched within the room and must be mounted a minimum of 8.5’ above the finished floor. Needs to accommodate 8’ tall cabinets. 4.1.3.7. The door to the room must be a minimum of 36” wide by 6’8” high and at a minimum, use a key lock that is keyed to the IT Telecom Primus Grand Master (GM3). Electronic locks are to be included in the design and utilized when a facility is remodeled or a new facility is wired and equipped to support electronic door locks. The door should open outward. 4.1.3.8. An electrical ground as defined by building codes must be provided on a 6” bar mounted 6” above the finished floor. This grounding bar should be connected to building steel (main building ground electrode), a separate concrete-encased electrode, or a buried ring ground with 00 copper wire using a short feed to the actual ground. It should be noted that NEC stipulates that communications cable shields be grounded as close as possible to the entrance into the building (NEC Article 800-4). 4.1.3.9. A minimum of two dedicated 20 Amp, 110 volt AC quad electrical outlets, each on separate circuits, shall be installed in each room. At least one of these dedicated circuits will feed power that is located in the network cabinets . Circuits providing power to the racks will need to be suspended from the ceiling above the racks or installed into the rack or cabinet as designated by the IT project engineer. Additional power outlets will be placed in the wall and/or in racks or cabinets in quantities and locations designated by the IT Project Engineer. The IT Project Engineer will determine current loads and determine how many circuits and receptacles are needed. 4.1.3.10. All conduits entering the building from outside shall be plugged with reusable stoppers to eliminate the entrance of water or gases into the entrance room. All conduits leaving the entrance room for other portions of the building will be fire-stopped after the installation of cable. 4.1.3.11. The room shall be equipped with a constant positive air flow sufficient to provide a minimum of two air changes per hour. If a room serves as both the building Service Entrance and a network closet, it may need to be equipped with a separately controlled HVAC. Once the design of the building is known and customer requirements have been fully developed, the IT Project Engineer can determine whether additional HVAC equipment will be recommended. 4.1.3.12. Rooms will need to have an anti-static floor. A sealed concrete floor is acceptable. At no time is carpeting to be installed. G-7 4.1.3.13. Do not install a suspended acoustical tile or other false ceiling. 4.1.3.14. The permanent walls of the room need to extend to the rafters of the hard ceiling in order to prohibit access to the room by climbing over walls from an adjoining room. 4.1.3.15 A cabinet or Cube-IT is required to house cable terminations and network equipment. The use of a cabinet or Cube-IT is at the discretion of the IT Project Engineer based on project requirements. Interconnections between multiple cabinets are to be terminated on patch panels housed in the respective cabinet. 4.1.4. Data Center 4.1.4.1. Data Centers will house various computer systems including servers, storage and other devices in addition to network, voice and video related equipment and systems. Their HVAC systems are sealed and separate from the rest of the building. Data Centers will also have independent power service to the room along with room-based UPS systems. Multistage pre-action fire suppression systems utilizing gas and water are used, as required, based on function and customer need. 4.1.4.2. There will be situations where a department may house computer systems in rooms in their work areas. These rooms do not constitute data centers and are not to be considered as such. 4.1.4.3. General Requirements 4.1.4.3.1. The data center room should not have any windows on exterior walls. 4.1.4.3.2. Designers and installers of the data center are to be certified as being skilled and knowledgeable with data center design and construction. All data center designs and requirements are subject to the approval of the IT project engineer. 4.1.4.4. Security Requirements 4.1.4.4.1. Access to the data center is done via key and electronic lock. The key is not to be a part of the building master key system rather a separate IT Telecom Primus Grand Master (GM3) key. 4.1.4.4.2. An electronic lock using an access control device shall be used on all doors leading into the data center. 4.1.4.4.3. The data center is to be considered a restricted access facility. As such, the master key needs to be strictly controlled. Access to the master key needs to be maintained in coordination with the IT Project Engineer during the course of the project and with the designated person within City IT once the project is completed, as required. A separate key must be placed in a knox box secured by a combination code. 4.1.4.4.4. The access control list for the electronic lock including additions, deletions, and logging needs to be maintained in collaboration with City IT. G-8 4.1.4.5. Floor & Ceiling Requirements shall be determined by special conditions per project. 4.1.4.6. Fire Suppression must meet applicable codes and standards. 4.1.4.7. Electrical Requirements 4.1.4.7.1. The power supplying the data center is fed through an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that provides continuous power in the event of a general power failure. The UPS should have the capability for sub-metering electrical usage for utility billing purposes (as determined necessary). 4.1.4.7.2. The UPS is also configured to filter and stabilize the power from the primary source. 4.1.4.7.3. The UPS is also supplemented by an independent power generator. This is to be determined per project. 4.1.4.7.4. The battery racks for the UPS do not have to be in the data center. The battery racks should be located in a room where the floor is at grade, if possible. The batteries can be of very significant weight, in the range of several tons. The building structure where the battery racks are to be housed needs to take into consideration the initial battery capacity plus the potential for expansion (modular). This is to be determined per project. 4.1.4.8. HVAC Requirement 4.1.4.8.1. The data center has to be kept to an effective cooling air temperature of 68oF with the average effective cooling air temperature in the 68 degrees F to 72 degrees F range. The size of the room, the equipment that will occupy the room and anticipated growth, will determine the HVAC capacity required. 4.1.4.8.2. Relative humidity needs to be maintained between 10% and 40% non-condensing at all times. 4.1.4.8.3. The data center HVAC system is a system that is independent from the rest of the building, but the main building HVAC system may be the back-up for redundancy. The HVAC system shall be sub- metered for utility billing purposes (as required). 4.1.4.8.4. HVAC systems are to be designed and configured to include alerting capabilities for temperature, humidity and system failure events. The alert systems need to be able to send pager and e-mail notifications as well as audible alerts within the data center. 4.1.4.8.5. The design and layout of the data center including the HVAC unit will need to take into consideration the location of equipment cabinets. The cabinets will be arranged within reason to create hot and cold alleys. The HVAC unit and ducting will need to be located in such a way as to optimize airflow and the cooling of equipment. G-9 4.2. Pathways Pathways refer to the facilities and supporting structures used to transport network media from one location to another. It is important to think in terms of pathways as more than simply conduit and to properly design these portions of the distribution system. 4.2.1. Inter-Building Distribution System 4.2.1.1. This distribution system includes the conduit, tunnel system and related support structures between buildings. 4.2.1.2. The designer must consider where the distribution system originates and determine what is required to make it meet the needs of the new construction. 4.2.1.3. Although most design projects for individual City buildings do not specifically address communications outside the building, care must be taken in developing plans for making these connections. In some cases, a separate construction and/or installation contract might be required to provide adequate pathways up to the point at which the building project can be interconnected. In general, the following points should be observed when developing plans for communication feeder facilities: 4.2.1.3.1. Anywhere from four to nine conduits ranging in size from 1.5” to 4” are required to feed an average building. These conduits will be used for City fiber optic and copper cabling as well as third party cables such as Comcast and CenturyLink. This is to be determined by the building design, per project. 4.2.1.3.2. The numbers, size and location of conduits will be determined by the IT Project Engineer, Utilities Telecommunications Systems Administrator and the cabling needs of third parties such as Comcast and CenturyLink in conjunction with the Facilities Project Manager. 4.2.1.3.3. All conduits entering the building will terminate outside the building in one or more vaults. The number, placement, and type of vaults will be determined by the IT Project Engineer and Utilities Telecommunications Systems Administrator in conjunction with the Facilities Project Manager and will depend upon which utilities are involved, the total number of conduits entering the building, the landscaping or hardscaping around the building, and other factors specific to a given site. Ideally, the vault will be located in a grass or landscaped area. By example, a typical fiber optics vault would be 30"x48"x18" deep constructed of polymer concrete and mounted flush with the ground. The bottom area of the vault would be bare ground covered with pea gravel or a similar covering. All conduits would enter from under the bottom of the vault and extend approximately 4"- 6" above the gravel ground cover. All conduits will contain mule tape and will be capped to prevent debris or animals from entering the conduits. The vault cover will be made of polymer concrete, traffic rated to 20,000 pounds, non-skid surface, with corner bolts or some other type of locking mechanism. Other vault types or configurations may be substituted at the discretion of the IT Project Engineer. The area around any vault will be filled and tamped to prevent erosion, sinking, or washout, and will then be landscaped to blend in with the surrounding area. If the vault is located in a vehicle traffic area, a 6"- 12" space surrounding the vault G-10 will be filled with concrete to a depth of 18" to further stabilize the vault. If the vault is located in a pedestrian area, care must be taken to avoid any trip hazards (raised edges). Specific utilities such as telephone or cable TV may have their own vault requirements. 4.2.1.3.4. The entrance conduits must be designed to allow the placement of various types of cables including large copper cables, fiber optic cable (within inner duct), and coaxial cables. 4.2.1.3.5. Conduits will have no more than two 90 degree bends with a minimum bend radius of 2 feet. Fiber optic cabling may require a larger radius, typically ten times the outside diameter of the fiber cable. 4.2.1.3.6. The entrance conduits should enter the service entrance spaces either directly from outside, perpendicular to the outer wall at a level above 8’ or through the floor parallel with the outer wall keeping the conduit bend radius greater than 48”. Variances from the 8’ requirement will need to be approved by the IT project engineer. The entrance conduits must be protected from potential water damage and from vehicles running into them. Below grade building entrances with sufficient conduits are much preferred as that avoids the poly-to-steel conduit transition at the side of the building, a box on the building and conduit exposed to view and possible vandalism. 4.2.2. Building Backbone Raceway (Riser and Tie) 4.2.2.1. The risers are pathways which connect all network closets and space throughout an individual building. They may consist of conduit, cable trays, or sleeves to allow for cabling to enter and exit the network closets. 4.2.2.2. The term “backbone raceway” replaces both the term “riser” and “tie” conduit to reflect the need for both vertical and horizontal pathways in a building distribution system. In general, this is the path used for placement of network media between the Service Building Entrance room, the network closets, and the station outlets. These pathways must typically support copper, fiber optic, and coaxial cables serving equipment and should be cross-connected to station outlets located on each floor of the building. “J-hooks” may be permissible with the approval of the IT Project Engineer. 4.2.2.3. All backbone conduits and sleeves must be 4” in diameter or as agreed to by the IT project engineer in conjunction with the Facilities Project Manager. Conduits must be designed with no more than two 90 degree bends. The minimum number of vertical backbone (riser) conduits is 5. However, the number can change as the building customer requirements become known. Again, this should be based upon actual needs. 4.2.2.4. General Requirements: 4.2.2.4.1. Pathways shall be designed and installed to meet applicable building and electrical codes or regulations including the applicable TIA/EIA Network standards. (See 3.1.2 above.) 4.2.2.4.2. Grounding and bonding of pathways shall comply with applicable codes and regulations. G-11 4.2.2.4.3. Pathways shall not have exposed sharp edges that may come into contact with network cables. 4.2.2.4.4. The number of cables placed in a pathway shall not exceed manufacturer specifications nor will the geometric shape of a cable be affected. 4.2.2.4.5. Pathways shall not be located in elevator shafts. 4.2.2.4.6. Sleeves are to be used in backbone vertical pathways. Sleeves should extend a minimum of 2” above the floor space. If the room is equipped with a raised floor then the 2” shall be above the base floor and not the raised floor. The sleeves are also to be 4” below the true ceiling deck in rooms where conduit is running from a room on the floor above. All sleeves are placed to provide short and straight pathways between floors. 4.2.2.4.7. Conduits used to interconnect the Building Service Entrance and/or network closets should be placed above the ceiling with no more than a total of two 90 degree bends. Do not angle these conduits down into the termination space. Fix the conduit 4” to 6” inside the room at a right angle to the wall. All metal conduits must be fitted with a collar or end bushing to eliminate damage to the cables during pulling. 4.2.2.4.8. Pull boxes shall be placed in conduit runs which exceed 100’ or in situations which require more than two 90 degree bends (IT Project Engineer approval). Such pull boxes must be located so as to provide free and easy access in straight sections of conduit only and must be installed to allow cable to pass-through from one conduit to another. 4.2.2.4.9. Two 2” conduits must be dedicated from a sealed junction box on the roof of the building in a direct line to a specified network closet for use as an antenna access point, as determined necessary. In addition, a separate earth ground must be provided at the roof junction box point and the antenna conduit must be grounded separately from the isolated ground in the network closet. A 1” conduit terminating in a weatherproof duplex box must be provided from the roof to the closest electrical panel for electrical power, as required. 4.2.2.4.10. All riser sleeves must be fire stopped and sealed following code and manufacturers’ instructions, as required. 4.2.3. Horizontal Cabling 4.2.3.1. The horizontal pathways between the network closet and the station outlet locations receive the heaviest usage and the most complaints of any component of a network distribution system. It is an area with a significant number of alternatives and one which frequently falls victim to budget cuts. When working on this issue the building designer should identify methods for placing and supporting both the initial station cable and future cable additions. 4.2.3.2. The designer should assume the City will install plenum rated station cables to satisfy code requirements for return-air plenums. G-12 4.2.3.3. Cables will be bundled using Velcro strapping and labeled at each end of the cable run plus every 15 feet along the length of the run. 4.2.3.4. The label must indicate the owner of the cable as well as the source and destination of the cable. 4.2.3.5. Cabling installed in the ceiling space/air plenum for future devices (e.g. security cameras) shall have a 25’ end loop and be terminated in a wall mount box (biscuit) in the ceiling space. 4.2.3.6 Every network closet must provide a minimum of twice the amount of horizontal pathway access as is required to support the initial installation, as required. 4.2.3.7. Any outlet separated from the main horizontal support system, such as a tray, by a fire or smoke partition, must be provided a rated pathway. 4.3. Shared Spaces 4.3.1.1. The Building Service Entrance, network closet and the Data Centers are for equipment owned and/or maintained by the City of Fort Collins. Equipment and systems from third parties should not to be housed in these facilities without the approval of the IT Project Engineer. 4.3.1.1.1. Exceptions include third party equipment and systems that are installed in support of City operations and systems. These may include but may not be limited to Comcast equipment to provide independent internet connectivity and cable television connections; CenturyLink equipment to provide telephone connectivity. The final placement of this equipment and related components are subject to the approval of the Network Administration Manager or IT Project Engineer in collaboration with the Facilities Project Manager and Service Area Director. 4.3.1.1.2. Examples of third party equipment and systems that cannot be housed in these rooms are commercial entities using City facilities in support of their infrastructure systems and where the City is not connecting to or utilizing the equipment to be installed. 4.3.1.2. The pathways and risers within City owned facilities can be used to provide needed copper and fiber cable runs needed by the third parties within reason and as approved by the IT Project Engineer. 4.3.1.2.1. Third party copper and fiber cables must be bundled separately from City cabling systems. 4.3.1.2.2. The bundled cable runs need to be labeled at each end of the cable run plus every 15 feet along the length of the run. Cables will be bundled using Velcro strapping. 4.3.1.2.3. The label must indicate the owner of the cable as well as the source and destination of the cable. 4.3.1.3. The Network Administration Manager or IT Project Engineer must be provided with written requests to house third party equipment, systems and cables and the installation of the items are subject to his/her approval. The written request must include: G-13 4.3.1.3.1. A schematic diagram of the systems; 4.3.1.3.2. All related drawings showing the installed equipment; 4.3.1.3.3. Who is authorized to access the equipment; 4.3.1.3.4. Who are the contact individuals for the installation and maintenance of the equipment. 5. Design Issues 5.1. This subsection provides an overview of the minimum network infrastructure requirements in the specific area of new construction. It is intended to be used during program planning. 5.2. Office Spaces 5.2.1. Office spaces range from the standard one-person space to multi-room office suites and all need to be suitably equipped to access various City network resources. All offices must be designed to support multiple voice and data outlets situated to allow changes in furniture layouts, depending on the use of the facility. 5.2.2. Newer buildings and installations may be using data lines for voice connectivity and this will alter the combination of outlets in office spaces. The IT Project Engineer will work with the customer and Facilities Project Manager to determine the number of station outlets required during the design of the facility. 5.2.3. All offices must be equipped with a minimum of 2 duplex communication outlets, preferably on opposite walls and near electrical outlets. Larger offices and open suite areas should have multiple communication outlets with an average of 2 per 75 square feet of floor space. There should be no less than one at every other electrical outlet. There may also be staff and office locations that will need to be provided with an additional video or coaxial outlet. Smaller offices or rooms may need fewer outlets. The IT Project Engineer will work with the customer and Facilities Project Manager to determine locations and the number of station outlets. 5.2.4. The furniture plan has to consider its location in reference to station outlet locations. Furniture should not be placed in such a way as to prevent access to station outlets and nearby electrical outlets. 5.3. Station Outlets 5.3.1. New construction or remodel projects where new walls are being installed will require that network station outlets be installed similar to electrical outlets with an outlet box mounted in the wall and vertical conduit going up the wall ending above the false ceiling space. In areas with a hard ceiling, the conduit should be extended to an appropriate pull box at the proximity of what would be considered a suspended ceiling location. The network cabling will then be installed through the conduit to the station outlet. An access panel for future additional outlets should be a primary consideration. G-14 5.3.2. New construction will require that wall outlets be installed at the same height as electrical outlets. Exceptions could include lab areas that may require outlets above work surfaces. Wall phone units may also need to be installed according to ADA regulations. 5.3.3. In remodeling projects that include the installation of new station cabling in existing walls without pre-existing conduit, an outlet box will be installed and the cable fished down the inside of the wall as appropriate if the wall has an accessible space. 5.3.4. Installation of vertical drops and exterior cable raceways visibly placed on interior walls will not be used in new construction unless deemed necessary and approved by the Facilities Project Manager and the IT Project Engineer. Remodel projects may require exterior cable raceways due to problems with existing construction and these will need to be approved by the Facilities Project Manager and the IT Project Engineer. 5.3.5. Locations where the station outlets are to be installed in office furniture or cubicles need to be identified. The IT Project Engineer, cabling installer and the Facilities Project Manager will need to ensure that proper outlets, furniture interfaces, and cable length are provided for proper termination in the furniture. 5.3.6. Sometimes it is not possible to reach station outlet locations via the wall or ceiling and may need to be installed via the floor. This is especially common in cubicle areas. In these cases, appropriate size and quantity of conduit will need to be installed in the floor and in the case of the ground floor, installed before the slab is poured. An alternative to conduit in the floor is a raised floor office area. 5.4. Conference Rooms 5.4.1. Conference rooms should be equipped with a minimum of 1 duplex voice/data outlet per wall, with two video outlets on opposite walls, as appropriate per project requirements. 5.4.2. The IT Project Engineer and the Facilities Project Manager will work with the customer to determine the optimal number of station outlets and where they will be located. These locations may include the wall, floor or terminated in furniture such as conference room tables. 5.5 Security Considerations 5.5.1. All network closets will be electronically locked (fobbed). 5.5.2 Security cameras should be installed to monitor access to the network closet and data centers. 114 KITCHEN 115 DINING SCBA 133 127 APP.
