Common use of Std Perf & Acc Clause in Contracts

Std Perf & Acc. MATERIALS TESTING. All installation, wiring, and cabling requirements identified in the Purchase Order/ SOW must be satisfied. All materials must be tested, functional and certified, based on ANSI/TIA/EIA installation standards and best practices and be approved by the Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s on-site coordinator prior to acceptance for payment. Minimum testing of copper cable is to include Wire Map, continuity, NEXT and attenuation in accordance with the most current ANSI/TIA/EIA-568 standard. Minimum testing for fiber cable is to include testing the attenuation and Optical Return Loss of the installed cable plant to meet TIA standard loss levels. This will be accomplished by providing passing test results from the following test equipment an optical loss test set (OLTS)(Tier 1 test) and an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) (Tier 2 test). Complete test results whether they be for copper or fiber will be provided digitally for each terminated fiber strand and each copper pair at the end of the project. When performing a Tier 1 test on laser optimized multimode fiber (OM3, 4 or 5) the use of encircled flux reference cables shall be used for proper test results. When performing a Tier 2 test on fiber optic strands that have splices or that splice between two different cable manufacture’s glass, testing on an OTDR will be done in both directions and loss values will be averaged and recorded in the test results. When testing and certifying copper or fiber cables, all test equipment must have a calibration date not to exceed 1 year from the date of the test. MANDATORY Fully Meets 14.3
