1.0 Introduction

1.1 Objectives. The purpose of this document, Commercial Building Telecommunications Wiring Standard 902 (STANDARD 902), is to facilitate interoperability and transportability among telecommunications facilities and systems of the County of Los Angeles. By specifying generic standard characteristics for building telecommunications wiring, the County buildings will be able to support multiple products and multi-vendor telecommunications systems. The further purpose of STANDARD 902 is to enable the planning and installation of building wiring with little prior knowledge of the types of telecommunications products that subsequently will be installed. Installation of wiring systems during building construction or major renovation is significantly less expensive and less disruptive than after the building is occupied. STANDARD 902 also facilitates the design, implementation, and maintenance of County building telecommunications infrastructures.

1.2 The Standard. STANDARD 902 adopts and incorporates the latest published revisions and

amendments of the National Electrical Code, and wiring/cabling standards of the American National Standards Institute, the Telecommunications Industry Association and the Electronic Industries Alliance, including:

1.2.1 ANSI/TIA/EIA-568 Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard 1.2.2 ANSI/TIA/EIA-569 Telecommunications Pathways and Spaces 1.2.3 ANSI/TIA/EIA-862 Structured Cabling Systems 1.2.4 ANSI/TIA/EIA-606 Administration Standard for Telecommunications Infrastructure 1.2.5 ANSI/TIA/EIA-607 Generic Telecommunications Bonding and Grounding (Earthing)

for Customer Premises 1.2.6 ANSI/TIA/EIA-455 Generic Requirements for Standard Test Procedures for Optical

Fibers, Cables, Transducers, Sensors, Connecting and Terminating Devices, and other Fiber Optic Components

1.2.7 ANSI/TIA/EIA-492 Fiber Optic Detail Specifications 1.2.8 ANSI/TIA/EIA-526 Fiber Optic Test Procedures

The above standards specify minimum requirements for telecommunications wiring within a building and between buildings in a campus environment. They specify wiring systems with a recommended topology and specified distances, stipulate copper and optical fiber transmission media by parameters that determine performance, and specify connectors and their pin assignments. Related standards include local building codes and a series of companion detailed drawings that relate to STANDARD 902 and also STANDARD 101.

At the time of publication of STANDARD 902, the editions indicated above were valid. All publications are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on STANDARD 902 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent approved editions.

Within the above adopted industry standards, STANDARD 902 sets forth details and options beginning in Section 2, below.

1.3 Applicability. American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/TIA/EIA standards shall be used

along with STANDARD 902 by all Internal Services Department staff in the planning and design of all office building telecommunications infrastructure. This includes both the wiring of new buildings and the upgrading of existing cable plant. Building

STANDARD 902

Page 5 of 45

Revised: 1/28/2016

telecommunications wiring, defined by STANDARD 902, is intended to support a wide range of different County building sites. STANDARD 902 is not intended to hasten the obsolescence of building wiring currently existing in the County inventory.

1.4 Specification of Criteria. In accordance with EIA Engineering Publication, EP-7B, two

categories of criteria are specified, mandatory and advisory. The mandatory requirements are designated by the word "shall"; advisory requirements are designated by the words "should, "may", or "desirable" which are used interchangeably in STANDARD 902.

Mandatory criteria generally apply to protection, performance, administration, and compatibility; they specify the absolute minimum acceptable requirements. Advisory or desirable criteria are presented when their attainment will enhance the general performance of the cabling system in all its contemplated applications.

1.5 Waivers. Under certain circumstances, the ISD Telecommunications Branch Manager may

approve waivers to the ISD Commercial Building Telecommunications Wiring Standards, STANDARD 902. These circumstances would be such that compliance would:

1.5.1 Adversely affect the accomplishment of the mission of an operator of a

County computer system or related telecommunications system; or

1.5.2 Cause a major financial burden on the operator that is not offset by countywide savings.

The Telecommunications Branch Manager shall provide a written decision that explains the basis for the deviation from STANDARD 902. A copy of the waiver, any supporting documents, and the document approving the waiver, shall be retained in the official project file.

outlet receptacles, each on a separate branch circuit, shall be provided for equipment power. These receptacles (isolated ground with circuit breaker tagging/I.D.) shall consist of one rated at 20A and the other at 30A. The specific number, location, and amperage of receptacles shall be determined at the time of design.

7.24 Convenience duplex outlets shall be placed at intervals of six feet around the perimeter walls at

the required height above the floor. The convenience outlets shall be powered from electrical service panel connected to backup power i f available. Specific outlets for equipment and convenience along with their locations shall be coordinated with the telecommunications systems engineer.

7.25 Backbone and horizontal conduit specification shall be per the ANSI/TIA/EIA-569-A and STANDARD 902 specifications in addition to the building design specifications.

7.26 The air conditioning system shall be designed such that, during normal operation, a separate air

duct system that is supplied through the main building HVAC system shall provide COOL AIR ONLY at all times. However, if the main system fails to operate or maintain the required ambient temperature, a separate standby air conditioning system shall turn on automatically. Both systems shall be provided and installed with independently controlled thermostats. Neither air conditioning system shall be under the control or supervision of any building energy conservation or management system if such system is capable of adversely affecting the environmental conditions of the room.

7.27 HVAC requirements shall be to provide and maintain a stable temperature range operating on a 24 hour, 365 day-per-year basis. Temperature and humidity controlled range shall be 18C (64F) to 24C (75F). There shall be a thermostat located in the room.

7.28 Installation of an exhaust fan ventilation system is strongly recommended in each room for

cooling in case of HVAC failure.

7.29 Fire Protection. Smoke detectors should be in operation in the room and connected to the fire alarm system of the building. A fire extinguisher of the type recommended for use on electrical and electronic fires shall be installed on the wall just inside the door, where it can be reached without completely entering the room. Fire extinguisher shall be inspected and recharged by building management at least annually.

7.30 Sprinkler heads, if required by code, shall be of the type of highest temperature setting and

shall be provided with wire cages to prevent accidental operation. Consideration should be given to the installation of a dry pipe or pre-action system. To the extent feasible, clean agent

10.0 Grounding/Earthing

Telecommunications, as used in this standard, refers to the transmission of all forms of information (e.g., voice, data, security, audio, industrial, building control). Telecommunication equipment used to support these wide varieties of system that rely on the electronic transport of information requires an effective building infrastructure. This infrastructure encompasses spaces, pathways, cables, connecting hardware and a grounding and bonding system. Definitions

Bonding means permanent joining of metallic parts for the purpose of forming an electrically conductive path to ensure electrical continuity and capacity to safely conduct any current likely to be imposed.

Bonding Conductor for telecommunications is a conductor used to interconnect the telecommunications bonding infrastructure to the service equipment (power) ground of the building.

Effectively Grounded refers to an intentional connection to earth through a ground connection of sufficiently low impedance. It must have sufficient current-carrying capacity to be able to prevent the buildup of voltages that could potentially result in unnecessary hazard to connected equipment or persons.

Ground is an intentional or accidental conducting connection between an electrical circuit or equipment and earth or conducting body serving in place of earth.

a) Visually inspect all cables, cable reels, and shipping cartons to detect possible cable damage incurred during shipping and transport. Visible damaged goods are to be returned to the supplier and replaced at no additional cost to the ISD.

b) Prior to cutting a reel into sections and installing the various cable segments, an

OTDR reading shall be taken to provide clear proof of an optical fiber cable’s initial quality and integrity. Using a pigtail and mechanical splice such as the Corning Cable Systems CamSplice mechanical splice to access one cable end, an OTDR can quickly and easily verify the length and attenuation of each fiber. It can also detect point faults or discontinuities caused by shipping and handling.

17.2.3 Testing shall be carried out in accordance with this document. This includes testing the

attenuation and polarity of the installed cable plant with an optical loss test set (OLTS) and the installed condition of the cabling system and its components with an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR). The condition of the fiber end faces shall also be verified.

17.2.4 Testing shall be performed on each cabling link (connector to connector). 17.2.5 Testing shall be performed on each cabling channel (equipment to equipment) that is

identified by the owner. 17.2.6 Testing shall not include any active devices or passive devices within the link or channel

other than cable, connectors, and splices, i.e. link attenuation does not include such devices as optical bypass switches, couplers, repeaters, or optical amplifiers.

17.2.7 All tests shall be documented including OLTS dual wavelength attenuation measurements

and OTDR traces with event tables as well as OTDR maps. 17.2.8 Documentation shall also include optical length measurements and pictures of the

connector end face. 17.2.9 The County reserves the right to be present during any or all of testing. 17.2.10 Testing shall be of the optical link. An optical fiber link is defined as the passive cabling

network between two optical cross-connects (patch panels or outlets). This includes cable, connectors and splices but does not include active components. The link test contains the representative connector loss at the patch panel associated with the mating of patch cables but does not include the performance of the connector at the equipment interface.

17.2.11 All cabling not tested strictly in accordance with these procedures shall be retested at no

additional cost to the Owner. 17.2.12 100% of the installed cabling must be tested. All tests must pass acceptance criteria defined

in this test specification. 17.2.13 Either the test equipment shall be fully charged prior to each day’s testing or a fresh set of

batteries shall be brought to the job site.

17.4.13 Optical Power Meter

Use ANSI/TIA/EIA-526-14A Method B to measure the end-to-end fiber and patch panel attenuation of the optical fiber system. The following equipment is needed to perform the test: OTS Optical Meter (with connector adapter to match system) Optical Source (stabilized, to multimode and single mode frequencies)

STANDARD 902

Page 41 of 45

Revised: 1/28/2016

3 test jumpers (with fiber type and connectors to match system) 1 interconnect coupler/adapter (to match system)

Note: Dual function main and remote test units performing bi-directional testing can be set-up using the same test method below by doubling the required test jumpers and couplers. Step 1: Reference Set the optical meter and optical source to the same test wavelength and connect a short test jumper J1 (with the same fiber and connector type as the system) between the optical source and the optical meter. The OTS meter will display the coupled output power of the source in dBm (absolute power, typically around –20dBm for LEDs and -10dBm for lasers). Reference the power meter so that it indicated 0.0dBr (relative loss). Repeat this step for each wavelength to be tested, ensuring that both the optical source and meter are set to the proper wavelength.

Step 2: Check Test Jumpers Leaving jumper J1 attached to the source, disconnect it from the optical meter and insert a second test jumper J2 using a coupler adapter. If the loss displayed is 0.5dB, both test jumpers are good and will provide a valid test. Otherwise, clean the connectors and repeat step 2 until 0.5dB is achieved. If necessary, replace the test jumper(s) as appropriate and repeat the above steps. Now reference the power meter so that it indicated 0.0dBr (relative loss) for each wavelength. Note: Never disconnect the test jumper end connected to the source, after referencing. The coupled output level of the source may change when the jumper is reconnected.

Step 3: Loss Test Disconnect the jumpers J1 from the adapter and connect it to the respective patch panels. At the opposite end of the same fiber as shown in diagram below connect a third test jumper J3 to the adapter and test meter. Set up a new OTS file section. Enter the loss in

STANDARD 902

Page 42 of 45

Revised: 1/28/2016

dBr for each fiber and wavelength to be tested. Note: For bi-directional attenuation testing, swap ends with the optical meter and optical source. Repeat the above steps, creating a new file for the second direction. The Method B adaptation lets you use hybrid patch cables to connect test equipment to the link under test. Adaptation test jumper should be a short certified test jumper.

TIA/EIA-526-14 Method B

17.4.14 Test Documentation

a) Test reports shall be submitted in hardcopy and electronic format. Hand-written test reports are not acceptable.

b) Hardcopy reports are to be submitted in labeled 3 ring binders. c) OTDR Signature Trace for each link and fiber strand. d) Electronic reports are to be submitted on 3.5-inch diskettes or CD format. Disk or
