Common use of County of Orange Cabling Standards General Requirements Clause in Contracts

County of Orange Cabling Standards General Requirements. Installation practices are to meet all applicable building and NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC). Cabling installations shall be performed according to ANSI/BICSI N1-2019 and ANSI/TIA 568.1D. All copper cable shall meet or exceed the minimum transmission specifications for balanced twisted pair cable as defined in ANSI/TIA 568.2-D. Fiber optic cable shall meet or exceed the minimum transmission specifications and testing requirements as defined in ANSI/TIA-455-78B, ANSI/TIA-526-7-A, and ANSI/TIA-526-14-C. Pathways shall meet the requirements of ANSI/TIA 569-D. All Backbone Cables, Patch Panels, Terminal Outlets, Punch Blocks and Fiber Termination enclosures shall be labeled (P-touch or equivalent) on both ends per ANSI/TIA 606-C. The County of Orange is currently replacing all of the existing network and voice equipment with a converged VoIP/Data Network. Existing legacy systems will retain the cabling infrastructure with separate voice and data cables to the work areas. Facilities that have been ‘transformed’ to the new converged network environment will have a new single cable configuration for both voice and data services. Please see Exhibits referenced below for the County’s cable standards for both environments. Exhibit I – Structured Cabling and Installation Services. General Requirements for Legacy Facilities Exhibit II – Structured Cabling and Installation Services. Standards for Converged VoIP and Data Facilities Exhibit III – Preferred Product List Exhibit IV- County of Orange Change Management Process Under no circumstances shall the requirements of this document supersede any Federal, State or Local building or safety codes. The AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) shall be the final arbiter of anyand all code interpretations and implementations. Attachment B
