Section 4 Telecommunications Breadth Work 71
4.1 Telecommunications System Addition In order for Thomas R. Proctor High School to be considered an emergency data recovery site, emergency power cannot be the only feature that is available to incoming personnel in times of crisis. In addition, telephone and computer data service must be easily accessible. 4.1.1 Design Layout Under the current emergency electrical design, all of the servers in the school, which are fed by clean power panels, are backed in the new emergency system. However, the auxiliary gymnasiums also need to be to be integrated into the existing telecommunications system. As a result, the new telecommunications design accounts for the addition of telephone and data outlets in the auxiliary gymnasiums. Since a maximum of 6 people can be operating from each electrical outlet station in each gym, the telecommunications design has to account for the same 6 people using a telephone and/or data jack at the same time. Therefore phone/data outlets need to be Typical Phone/Data Outlet Box run to the same locations as the electrical outlets in each auxiliary gymnasium. Each phone/data combination box will be comprised of 12 RJ 45 jacks (6 for phone and 6 for data). Each phone and data jack will be fed by Category 6 cable. The 12 port outlet box will be fed by 1 conduit in a similar arrangement to the new emergency electrical system. The outlet stations will be located directly next to each electrical outlet station, approximately 14 feet apart. 72

4.1.2 Telecommunications Closets There are several main locations of vertically stacked telecommunications closets in the high school (generally located adjacent to an electrical closet). These closets serve the entire existing phone and data system of the school. To serve the new auxiliary gymnasiums, room GG28B and G105 will also serve as telecommunications closets. Each closet will be fed from the new main telephone room MDF in sector K with two 12 strand multi mode fiber cables and one 6 strand single fiber cables to match the existing telecommunications closets. Each closet will be fed with four 2 conduits (3 for the fiber cables and 1 spare).

The personnel can use the school network phone and computer system to communicate to each other internally in the school, however, if telephone service is lost from the outside feed to the school then communication via internet or non network 74
phone will not be possible. A remedy for this situation would be to have a satellite link telecommunications system and/or the addition of a redundant input to the school. 4.1.3 Telecommunications Addition Riser Diagram The following is a riser diagram of the new telecommunications closets that were added to the existing system. A riser diagram of the full system can be found in Appendix C. 75
