Standard, Version 2.0 Page 5 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Communications Infrastructure Standard, Version 2.0 Page 6 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Communications Infrastructure Standard, Version 2.0 Page 7 General General: Version This document is Version 2.0 of the Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) Communications Infrastructure Standard, and supersedes all previous versions. General: Purpose This document is the CLT Communications infrastructure standard, providing Architects, Engineers, Project Managers, and Construction/Electrical/Communications Contractors with requirements for the Communications infrastructure within the Airport Campus. This Standard describes an infrastructure that offers high performance while meeting the needs of the Airports’ overall Communications demands, including maximum flexibility and longevity while minimizing the cost and scope of future adds, moves and changes. General: Scope This Standard is applicable to all new construction and renovation projects within CLT. General: Standard Products All products specified in this document reflect the standard products currently in use by CLT. Deviations from the specified products are not allowed without prior written approval from the CLT Technology Services Office. General: Common Terms The following common terms are utilized in this specification: TSO Charlotte Douglas International Airport Technology Services Office MDC Main Data Center TR Telecommunications Room WAO Work Area Outlet CATV Closed Circuit TV / Cable TV DSS Digital Surveillance System UTP Unshielded twisted pair RJ-45 8 pin modular jack MM Multimode Fiber Optic Cable SM SM Fiber Optic Cable General: Referenced Standards The following standards should be considered a part of this standard. In case of conflict between references, the more stringent requirements shall apply, unless specifically noted otherwise in the project Construction Documents. In the event any of the listed standards are superseded or updated, the most current version shall apply. Charlotte Douglas International Airport Communications Infrastructure Standard, Version 2.0 Page 8 TIA/EIA-568-C, Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard The standard is comprised of four documents: 1. TIA 568-C.0 Generic Telecommunications Cabling (targeted to users/designers/installers). This document houses most information common to structured cabling in one place and becomes the foundation for future standards. This is where the minimum requirements for generic telecommunications cabling are specified such as cabling architecture, what applications the cabling is intended to support and over what distances, and other general requirements. The document thus serves two purposes - as a "default" standard for structured cabling in locations that are not office-oriented or covered by another standard, and as a foundation for future standards that can now focus on exceptions and allowances for that location rather than having to reconstruct all the generic information. 2. TIA 586-C.1 Commercial Building (Targeted to users/designers/installers). This document specifies the requirements for telecommunications cabling within and between commercial (office-oriented) buildings. This document builds on 568-C.0 and focuses on the requirements and guidance for office-oriented buildings. There are some technical changes to the information in 568-B.1 that are reflected in this document. These include the addition of: Category 6 balanced twisted-pair cabling Augmented category 6 twisted-pair cabling 850 nm laser-optimized 50/125 μm MM fiber Telecommunications enclosures (TEs) Centralized cabling A recommendation to select 850 nm laser-optimized 50/125 μm as the multimode fiber for commercial buildings Some information was also removed: 150-Ohm STP cabling Category 5 cabling 50-ohm and 75-ohm coaxial cabling Balanced twisted-pair cabling performance and test requirements (these are in the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 document) 3. 568-C.2 Copper Cabling Components (Targeted to manufacturers). This standard includes component and cabling specifications for copper cabling, including testing requirements. The document incorporates Cat 3, Cat 5e, Cat 6 and Cat 6A. 4. TIA-568-C.3 Optical Cabling Components (Targeted to manufacturers). This document addresses component and cabling specifications for fiber optic cabling. The standard now includes all three types of multimode fiber (62.5-micron, 50-micron and 850nm laser-optimized 50-micron).

The maximum horizontal distance from any room to any WAO (cable distance via the horizontal pathway system) must be less than 90 meters (295 feet). Additional rooms shall be placed as appropriate to support this distance limitation. The TR rooms in a multistory building should be stacked vertically directly above one another to the maximum extent feasible. The TRs and MDC shall be placed such that no more than two walls are adjacent to non-movable building structures such as rest rooms, exterior walls, elevator shafts, elevator equipment rooms, etc. The TRs and MDC shall not have duct work, piping, etc. that is overhead or through the room, except as required for direct support of the room itself. No building structure or services shall block access to the room. Telecommunication Rooms: Size Telecommunication Rooms: MDC The MDC space should be sized to support all telecommunications related systems for the building served, including: backbone data, voice, DSS, paging and CATV cabling; horizontal data, voice, DSS, paging and CATV cabling; CATV and paging distribution equipment; Network electronics and Servers. The room sizes shown in Figure 1 are typical and minimum sizes for rooms that support all system types identified above. These room sizes assume the door opens outward. Larger rooms are required if the door opens inward due to clearance requirements. All wall or floor mounted equipment sizes and footprints anticipated to be installed in the room must be identified during the schematic phase of the design, and room sizes must be adjusted accordingly. Floor plans with proposed equipment layouts, including required clear space footprints, must be reviewed by CLT Technology Services Office (TSO) during the schematic design phase to confirm rooms are sized adequately. Refer to Figure 1. Charlotte Douglas International Airport Communications Infrastructure Standard, Version 2.0 Page 12 Telecommunication Rooms: TR The TR rooms should be sized to support all telecommunications systems for the area served. The room sizes shown in Figure 2 are typical and minimum sizes for rooms that support horizontal cabling for data, voice, DSS and CATV services only, and do not include other special equipment (i.e., servers). These room sizes assume the door opens outward. Larger rooms are required if the door opens inward due to clearance requirements. All wall or floor mounted equipment sizes and footprints anticipated to be installed in the room must be identified during the schematic phase of the design, and room sizes must be adjusted accordingly. Rooms that include CATV Distribution systems, paging equipment or Network Servers, or any other equipment requiring 36” deep cabinets shall be sized per the MDC sizing requirements above. These room sizes assume the door opens outward. Larger rooms are required if the door opens inward due to clearance requirements. All wall or floor mounted equipment sizes and footprints anticipated to be installed in the room must be identified during the schematic phase of the design. Floor plans with proposed equipment layouts, including required clear space footprints, must be reviewed by CLT Technology Services Office (TSO) during the schematic design phase to confirm rooms are sized adequately.
