If J-hooks are not used it will be cable tray or conduit unless otherwise indicated by Outagamie County. Innerduct or conduit shall be used the entire distance from the TC to the TC or the TC to the workstation to protect the fiber. The minimum bend radius for fiber will be based upon the manufacturer s minimum bend radius for that specific cable. Pulling tension for all fibers shall be as per manufacturer s specification. All station cable runs going to work stations in moveable partitions shall be protected the entire distance using flexible conduit (Sealtite or equivalent), power poles, or communication poles. If power poles are not integrated, then flexible conduit shall run from the power pole to the furniture. All vertical cable runs not placed inside walls or ceilings shall be enclosed within a vertical raceway. No cable shall be visible. All cables and cable bundles passing through walls that are smoke partitions and/or fire rated walls shall be sleeved with EMT conduit and shall be fire stopped per National Electrical Code (NEC).

There shall be no service cable left at the station end, unless other wise noted in the overview. All vertical cable runs placed in a plant or production area shall be placed inside metal conduit with a steel back box. This conduit run will be a vertical 1 stub from the jack location to the ceiling area or the height of the main cable bundle in that area. The steel back box should be a 4-11/16 x 4-11/16 x 2½ back box with a flush single gang opening. All station locations will be terminated with 6 to 12 of cable left out of the wall. This excess cable will be managed in a circular motion back into the box F:\Courts\Technology UG 2016\Wire Bid\Attachment B Cabling Standards.doc 09/15/16 7
when placing the faceplate. The faceplate will be placed prior to the cable being qualified. Proper pulling techniques shall be used for both copper and fiber cable runs. All conduit runs, pull boxes and junction boxes shall be installed per the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes. As stated in the NEC, all conduit shall be supported every 10 and there shall be a junction box every 100. Minimum size for junction box shall be 12 x12 x6. COPPER CABLE TERMINATIONS All terminations shall be done per Category 5e, or 6 Standards as indicated in this standard, the written overview, or discussed at the physical walk through. All cables shall be terminated in numeric order on the patch panels and the 110 blocks. The pre-numbered patch panels will NOT be re-numbered. The 110 blocks (when used for voice terminations) will be numbered in numeric sequence. Port 1 being the first position on the 110 block and port 24 being the last position, using a 100 pair block. The letter designation and floor number will be added to the numbering sequence only. All terminations shall be made with the proper punch down tools. All terminations shall be made per the written pinouts provided with the installation package. There shall be no split pairs at termination points. Split pairs may only be done with an external adapter. There shall be no splice points in any cable runs for Category 5e, 6. There shall be no under-carpet cable runs allowed.
