IntroductionTelecommunication is now an integral part of socialeconomic and political issues of the world. Networks othe future will be digital and intelligent and will offer

high transmission capacity and exible bandwidth; inaddition, they will be easily accessed and connectedwhile its services will be personal and tailored toindividual needs. These will allow us to interact in waypreviously not possible - available at any time andany place. In addition to providing entertainment andbusiness services, networks of the future will provideeducation, health and other public services.

Major advances in communications technology havesubstantially widened the range of services carriedby the network. Satellites, microwave radio, opticacable links, digital switching and transmission, offer apotential for the improvement of quality and for theextension of access to the most remote areas. Thepace of technological change is increasing while themagnitude of demands the future will make on ourcreativity and capacity to adapt is great. Customers willdemand more than just state of-the-art technology;they will want convenience and increased controlin their lives that affordable information accesscan provide. While businesses will look for totatelecommunications solutions that will not only enablethem to remain productive and compete globally butwill also give them a competitive edge.

General telecom requirementsThe FTTH requirements in new buildings, established in this Design Guide, represent only Etisalats technicalrequirements for connection/access to Etisalats Network. These technical specication should not be assumedto establish requirements for other telecommunications operators networks as well.

To provide telecom services, the internal concealed pipe and other associated requirements vary for the differentbuilding types. The various types of buildings are grouped as commercial buildings, residential towers, warehouses, medium high-rise buildings, shopping complexes, retail houses, row houses, independent villas, campusvillas, labour camps, mosques, petrol pumps, etc.

The building owners, builders, property developers, consultants and contractors are advised to provide the variousinbuilding requirements, as applicable, to ensure timely provision of services.

Civil requirements applicable for all types of buildingsEntry boxEntry box is an underground joint box built, exclusively to allow installation of Etisalat underground cable networkto the customers premises. The entry box is a reinforced concrete structure, with a heavy duty Ductile Iron Frame and Cover of rating

grade A and size is 600mm X 600mm X 800mm. The cover shall have marking as Telephones

Structured Cabling System (SCS)To deliver the services from the ONU, an SCS System on star topology is required. The minimum requirementis EIA/TIA standard CAT 6 cable with RJ45 connectivity. An SCS design being project speci c, a discussion withcomplete details is recommended with system designers and Etisalat.

However, the following are the general minimum requirements of structured cabling systems for provision of service.

Cabling & terminationTelecommunication cabling The cables used for these wiring must comply with minimum CAT 6 standards. The planned SCS cable should meet the designed service requiremen ts within the particular at level and

should have built-in exibility, to meet growing needs of the tenants. All SCS cables are to be properly labeled and terminated, in the RJ45 sockets and in patch panel or in CAT 6

compliant Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) modules by the owners/building contractor. Building owner is responsible for replacement of in-building cables and other xtures, if these become faulty. Cable diagrams must be submitted to Etisalat for approval at the design stage and as-built is required

on completion. Cables and other accessories required for block wiring may be purchased from any reputable source provided

that the material meets standards. The name and contact telephone numbers of the SCS installer should be labeled at appropriate location. Completed SCS should be subject to acceptance by Etisalat. However, the design and performance of the SCS

system should be the responsibility of the installer/owner. Any upgrading required in the inbuilding facility, telecommunication cables, due to either enhanced demand,

change in building s tatus or damage should be provided by building owner. The supply and termination of UTP cables on patch panel or IDC modules and sockets locations should be the

responsibility of the installers/owners.

Telecommunication socketAll outlets should be Category 6 performance, outlets mounted in shutters, typically in dual, triple or quadformation in a single or double gang white faceplate. All RJ45 outlets should be tted with spring loaded slidingshutters to prevent the ingress of dirt and dust. Provision for at least one dual socket for telecommunication services should be made in every room including

kitchen. Conduit with not less than 25mm should be connected between the socket locations and indoor

equipment cabinet. Every socket must be connected with a minimum of fou

of hotel buildings, the provision of telecommunication Telecommunication sockets, cables and associated fac

Conduit cable capacitiesSpare conduit capacity is important for the removal and rnumber of UTP cables inside a conduit recommended for tbelow. However, the number of cables may be adjusted i

Horizontal cabling The physical topology of the horizontal cabling should be con gured as a star with each outlet connected

directly to a at/apartment distribution box inside the at or apartment. No looping of cables from outlet tooutlet is permitted

The horizontal cabling is to be provided to single, dual, triple and quad outlets throughout The length of cable between the farthest telecommunications outlet and the indoor equipment cabinet should

not exceed 90m (295ft.). Etisalat must be notied in case the cable will exceed allowable length for further advice A minimum of two telecommunications outlets should be provided for each individual work area. The outlets

may be located with one or more faceplates in the work area.

Horizontal pathways Horizontal pathways (conduits, sleeves, cable trays, etc.) are used for taking the cables from the oor

telecommunications room to the telecommunications outlets in the same oor A variety of methods are available and the choice of selection of method should depend on the purpose of the

oor area to be served (i.e. general ofce spaces, apartment dwellings, etc.)

Conduits The use of conduits as a horizontal raceway system should only be considered when the outlet locations are

permanent, the device densities are low and exibility is not required The minimum size of a conduit pipe used as a horizontal pathway from the distributi on box to the

telecommunications outlet should be 25mm (1 inch) For the conduits, the inside bending radius should always be at least 10 times the internal diameter Minimum of one nylon draw wire must be installed in a conduit Pull boxes should be located such that they are readily accessible at all times. Pull boxes to be spaced at a

maximum of 15m apart to minimize cable stress during installation and to provide serviceability in the future Conduits must be free from sharp edges, to prevent cable damage during and subsequen t to pulling Conduits protruding through a oor should be terminated; a minimum of 50mm from the oor to

prevent water or other liquids from owing into the conduits

PatchingThe design of patch frame layouts is critical to create a high level of manageability within a compact cabinet,while maintaining effective operations when used by the customer.

We recommend all horizontal UTP cabling should be terminated in a 12 or 24 port patch panel, placed insideindoor equipment cabinet. Alternatively, CAT6 compliant IDC modules can also be used. Voice services can befed from the services patch panel directly to the user outlet using standard 1 pair patch cords.

Labeling

Label elementsAll bre optic and SCS infrastructure including oor outlets, patch frames and horizontal cables should belabeled. A typewritten standard labeling system is recommended. The labeling scheme shall be agreed on with theclients telecom team. Labeling guide for ber optic infrastructure is provided in Annexure 7.

Horizontal cable labelsLabel all horizontal cables at both ends using a self- laminating, wrap around label.

User outlet labelsEach RJ45 user outlet should be labeled with a unique identi er, typically using the agreed scheme.

Under- oor systems For general of ce spaces, an under- oor raceway system should be used for maximum exibility In multi-channel layouts, separate raceways must be used for telecommunications and electrical power to

reduce electromagnetic interference. The dividers for separation of compartments in the raceway should bebonded to ground Main elements of under-oor raceway systems

To avoid EMI, the telecommunications pathways, spaces and metallic cables should be installed with the followingclearances: 1200mm from large motors or transformers 300mm from conduit and cables used for electrical power distribution 120mm from uorescent lighting Pathways and metallic cables should cross perpendicular to uorescent lighting and electrical power cables

or conduits.

Separation distance from power source

During the design stages, separation of power and the Structured Cabling Systems (SCS) must be considered.Unshielded data cables should not be installed near sources of electromagnetism.
