Telecommunications Cabling System Technical Specification – Data Center & Storage Area Network (SAN)

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE

The intent of this document is to provide assistance in completing a specification for an AMP NETCONNECT Data Center cabling system.

This document provides the minimum performance criteria for the components and sub-systems comprising a complete cabling system. When the complete telecommunication cabling system is installed by an authorized contractor in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, the cabling system shall be warranted per the Tyco Electronics 25-Year System warranty. The system warranty shall be facilitated by the Contractor and be established between the Customer and the cabling system Manufacturer.

Product part numbers, general design considerations, and installation guidelines are provided in this document.

This document also provides pertinent information to allow the Contractor to bid the labor, tooling, and miscellaneous mounting hardware and consumables to install a complete system. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to propose any and all items required for a complete system if not identified in this specification.

The Contractor shall maintain current status with the warranting manufacturer, including all training requirements, for the duration of the Cable Infrastructure Project. The Contractor shall staff each installation crew with the appropriate number of trained personnel, in accordance with their manufacturer/warranty contract agreement, to support the 25-Year System Warranty requirements. After installation, the Contractor shall submit all documentation to support the warranty in accordance with the manufacturer’s warranty requirements and to apply for said warranty on behalf of the customer. The system warranty will cover the components and labor associated with the repair/replacement of any failed link as a result of a defective product when a valid warranty claim is submitted within the warranty period.

[Text appearing in blue and within brackets requires a choice in options or features](Text in violet indicates amplifying information)

1.2 SCOPE

This document defines the cabling system and subsystem components to include cable assemblies, termination hardware, supporting hardware, and miscellany that Customer will furnish to install a complete telecommunications system. The intent of this document is to provide all pertinent information to allow the Vendor to bid the labor, tooling, and miscellaneous mounting hardware and consumables to install a complete system. However, it is the responsibility of the Vendor to propose any and all items required for a complete system if not identified in this specification.

Test results shall be printed directly from the test unit or from a download file using an application from the test equipment manufacturer. The printed test results shall include all tests performed, the expected test result and the actual test result achieved.

The Pass or Fail condition for the cabling run under test is determined by the results of the required individual tests. Any Fail or Fail* result yields a Fail for the cabling run under test. In order to achieve an overall Pass condition, the results for each individual test parameter must be a Pass or Pass*.

6.2 FIBER OPTIC TESTING

6.2.1 PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION

Horizontal distribution multimode optical fiber attenuation shall be measured in one direction at either 850 nanometers (nm) or 1300 nm using an LED light source and power meter. This measurement is consistent with the loss which network equipment will see under normal installation and use. Backbone multimode fiber shall be tested at both 850 nm and 1300 nm in one direction. Test set-up and performance shall be conducted in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-526-14 Standard, Method B. Test results evaluation for the panel to panel (backbone) or panel to outlet (horizontal) shall be based on the values set forth in ANSI/TIA-568-C.0.

Test results shall be automatically evaluated by the equipment, using the most up-to-date criteria from the ANSI/TIA-568.C Standard, and the result shown as pass/fail. Test results shall be printed directly from the test unit or from a download file using an application from the test equipment manufacturer. The printed test results shall include all tests performed, the expected test result and the actual test result achieved.

The Pass or Fail condition for the cabling run under test is determined by the results of the required individual tests. Any Fail or Fail* result yields a Fail for the cabling run under test. In order to achieve an overall Pass condition, the results for each individual test parameter must be a Pass or Pass*.

10.0 Project Management / General

The Contractor shall establish a single point of contact (POC) with the Customer who will be responsible for reporting progress and updating the Customer’s technical representative with issues that the Owner must address to facilitate the cabling system installation. The Contractor’s POC shall provide [daily, weekly] written reports to the Customer’s technical representative detailing progress. Requests for access to limited access or restricted areas shall be made [number of days] prior to the required access. Information critical to the completion of the task or project shall be communicated to the Customer’s technical representative as the requirement becomes known. Casual information shall be passed during the scheduled progress report.

The Contractor shall maintain the Customer’s facility in a neat and orderly manner during the installation of the communications cabling system. The Customer’s facilities shall be maintained in broom clean condition at the completion of work each day. At the completion of work in each area, the Contractor will perform a final cleaning of debris prior to moving the installation crew to the next work area.

11.0 CABLING SYSTEM ACCEPTANCE

The Customer’s technical representative will make periodic inspection of the project in progress. One inspection will be performed at the conclusion of cable pulling, prior to closing of the false ceiling, to inspect the method of cable routing and support, and the firestopping of penetrations. A second inspection will be performed at completion of cable termination to validate that cables were dressed and terminated in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568-C specifications for jacket removal and pair untwist, compliance with Manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, and that cable ends are dressed neatly and orderly.

11.1 FINAL INSPECTION

Upon completion of the project, the Customer’s technical representative will perform a final inspection of the installed cabling system with the Contractor’s project foreman. The final inspection will be performed to validate that all horizontal and backbone cables were installed as defined in the drawing package, and that the installation meets the aesthetic expectations of the Customer.

11.2 TEST VERIFICATIONAMP NETCONNECT, Tyco Electronics, AMPTRAC, MPO SECURE, MRJ21, and MT-RJ SECURE are trademarks. 22 of 24


Upon receipt of the test documentation, the Customer reserves the right to perform spot testing of a representative sample of the cabling system to validate test results provided in the test document. Customer testing will use the same method employed by the Contractor, and minor variations will be allowed to account for differences in test equipment and test variability. If significant discrepancies are found, the Contractor will be notified for resolution.

11.3 SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

During the three-week period between final inspection and delivery of the test and as-built documentation, the Customer will activate the cabling system. The Customer will validate operation of the cabling system during this period.

11.4 FINAL ACCEPTANCECompletion of the installation, in-progress and final inspections, receipt of the test, receipt of the as-built documentation, and successful performance of the system for a two-week period will constitute acceptance of the system.
