Addendum No. 01
May 28, 2010
Coordinate telecommunications outlet/connector locations with location of power receptacles
at each work area with General Contractor/Owner. The telecommunications outlet/connector
shall be close proximity to the power receptacles in each work area.
INSTALLATION OF CABLES
A.
General Requirements for Cabling:
1. MUTOA shall not be used.
2. Terminate conductors; no cable shall contain un-terminated elements. Make terminations only at indicated outlets, terminals, cross-connects, and patch panels.
3. Cables may not be spliced. Secure and support cables at intervals not exceeding 5 ft. and
not more than 6 inches from cabinets, boxes, fittings, outlets, racks, frames, and terminals.
4. Install lacing bars to restrain cables, to prevent straining connections consistently, and to prevent bending cables to smaller radii than minimums recommended by manufacturer.
5. Bundle, lace, and train conductors to terminal points without exceeding manufacturer's limitations on bending radii.
6. Use Velcro tie wraps.
7. Do not install bruised, kinked, scored, deformed, or abraded cable. Do not splice cable between termination, tap, or junction points. Remove and discard cable if damaged during
installation and replace it with new cable.
8. Cold-Weather Installation: Follow manufacturer specifications for installation and storage
temperatures. Heat lamps shall not be used for heating.
9. Outlet boxes shall be assembled as follows:
a. Depth: 3.26 inches.
b. Height: 4.16 inches.
c.
B.
Width: 3.51 inches.
UTP / F/UTP Cable Installation:
1. Do not untwist UTP / F/UTP cables more than 1/2 inch from the point of termination to maintain cable geometry.
C.
Optical Fiber Cable Installation:
1. Cable may be terminated on connecting hardware that is rack or cabinet mounted.
D.
Open-Cable Installation:
1. Install cabling with horizontal and vertical cable guides in telecommunications spaces with
terminating hardware and interconnection equipment.

2. Suspend UTP cable independently from “Other Trades” and not in a wire way or pathway a
minimum of 8 inches above ceilings by cable supports not more than 60 inches apart.
3. Cable shall not be run through or supported from structural members or in contact with pipes,
ducts, or other potentially damaging items.
E.
