A. Each cable shall be tested for continuity and wire-map on all pairs and/or conductors. Voice back-bone twisted-pair voice cables shall be tested for continuity, pair reversals, shorts, and opens using a “green light” type test set. Twisted-pair data cables shall be tested for the all of the above requirements, plus tests that indicate installed cable performance. These data cables shall be tested using a Level III cable scanner.

a. Continuity/Wire Map Each pair of each installed cable shall be tested using a “green light” test set that shows opens, shorts, polarity and pair-reversals and splits. Shielded/screened cables shall be tested with a device that verifies shield continuity in addition to the above stated tests. The test shall be recorded as pass/fail as indicated by the test set in accordance with the manufacturers recommended procedures, and referenced to the appropriate cable identification number and circuit or pair number. Any faults in the wiring shall be corrected and the cable re-tested prior to final acceptance. As an alternate, each wire shall be tested as part of an autotest procedure to comply with ANSI/TIA/EIA/568-B standard with the Level III tester/scanner.

b. Length Each installed cable shall be tested for installed length using a TDR type device. The cables shall be tested from patch panel work area outlet as appropriate. The cable length shall conform to the maximum distances set forth in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B Standard. Cable lengths shall be recorded, referencing the cable identification number and circuit or pair number. For multi-pair cables, the longest pair length shall be recorded as the length for the cable.

5. Power Sum Near End Crosstalk (PSNEXT

6. Equal Level Far End Crosstalk (ELFEXT)

7. Power Sum Equal Level Far End Crosstalk (PSELFEXT)

8. Return Loss (RL)

9. Propagation Delay

10. Delay Skew

2. Category 6 data cable shall be performance verified using an automated test set. Test results shall be automatically evaluated by the equipment, using the most up-to-date criteria from the ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2.1 Standard, and the result shown as pass/fail.

The printed test results shall include all tests performed, the expected test result and the actual test result achieved.

2. Fiber

1. Attention:

a. The backbone optical fiber cabling link segment shall be tested in at least one direction at both operating wavelengths to account for attenuation deltas associated with wavelength. Singlemode backbone links shall be tested at 1310 nm and 1550 nm in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-526-7, Method A.1, One Reference Jumper. Multimode backbone links shall be tested at 850 nm and 1300 nm in accordance with ANSI/EIA/TIA-526-14A, Method B, One Reference Jumper. Because backbone length and the potential number of splices vary depending upon site conditions, the link attenuation equation shall be used to determine acceptance values based upon this Standard's component requirement at each of the applicable wavelengths.

Link attenuation is calculated as: Link Attenuation = Cable Attenuation + Connector Insertion loss + Splice Insertion loss where: Cable Attenuation (dB) = Attenuation Coefficient (dB/km) X Length (km)

Attenuation Coefficients are: 3.5 dB/km @ 850 nm for multimode 1.5 dB/km @ 1300 nm for multimode 0.5 dB/km @ 1310 nm for singlemode outside plant cable 0.5 dB/km @ 1550 nm for singlemode outside plant cable 1.0 dB/km @ 1310 nm for singlemode inside plant cable 1.0 dB/km @ 1550 nm for singlemode inside plant cable

Connector Insertion loss (dB) = number of connector pairs X connector loss (dB)

Example: = 2 X 0.75 dB = 1.5 dB

Splice Insertion loss (dB) = number of splices (S) X splice loss (dB) Example: = 2 X 0.3 dB = 0.6dB



2. Distance and Footprint

a. OTDR testing will be for length verification only and be conducted in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-526-7
