3.03 LONWORKS LON DISTRIBUTION CABLE INSTALLATION - NOT USED
3.04 WIRELESS ACCESS POINT (AP) CABLE INSTALLATION
A-
The cable allocated for the wireless AP shall be home
run from the floor's LDF or MDF to the room receiving
the AP. The cable shall be terminated using a AMP/TYCO
Premise Wiring Cat 6 yellow data jack P/N 1375055-8 or
Hubbell Premise Wiring Cat 6 yellow data jack P/N
HXJ5EY.
Existing
wireless

3.05 GROUNDING - NOT USED
3.06 LABELING OF CABLES AND JACKS
A.
Cables are to be tagged at both station and closet ends
with an alpha and four-digit number beginning with D001
and increasing in increment of I. It shall be a sticky
tag, wrapped and secured to the cable behind both the
jack faceplate and patch panel.
All
cable
and
termination
labels
are
unique
identifiers, which shall be permanent and comply with
TIA/EIA 606 labeling standards. At the closet end, the
patch panel termination is labeled at the corresponding
panel port with two points of information concerning
the far end and each separated by a dash:
(1) Room number at the other end of the cable
(2) Cable number (four digits)
At the station side, the jack faceplate is labeled with
two points of information pertinent to the cable far
end and each separated by a dash:
(1) Room number from the LDF or MDF
(2) Cable number on the jack faceplate (four digits)
The cable numbers shall be in sequence for each closet.
For example, if there are 50 data cables originating
from LDF-1, then the cable numbers shall be D001 thru
D050. Each closet would start over from D001.
3.07 TESTING
A.
All tests are to be performed after installation of the
complete system.
E.
The equipment indicated below represents test equipment
utilized
to
develop
this
test
specification.
Substitute test
equipment may be used only upon
approval by the Authority's Engineer provided the same
