UCDSB Wireless AP Cabling Specs – Roxmore PS
1.1
Systems Description
A. Horizontal copper cabling system consists of Category 6 cables with four unshielded twisted pairs of
solid annealed copper wrapped in plenum rated insulation with an overall plenum rated jacket with a
wire thickness of 23 AWG. Each four pair cable is terminated onto 8 position 8 conductor Category 6
connectors using 110 style IDCs. Connectors are placed into NEMA rated faceplates at the work
area and placed into rack mounted patching panels in the equipment / networking rooms.
B. Horizontal cable and its connecting hardware provide the means of transporting signals between the
telecommunications outlet/connector and the horizontal cross-connect located in the communications
equipment room. This cabling and its connecting hardware are called "permanent link," a term that is
used in the testing protocols.
1) TIA-568-C.0 requires that one telecommunications outlet/connectors be installed to each
predetermined location.
2) Horizontal cabling will contain no more than one transition point or consolidation point between
the horizontal cross-connect and the telecommunications outlet/connector.
3) Bridged taps and splices will not be installed in the horizontal cabling.
C. The maximum allowable horizontal cable length is 295 feet (90 m). This maximum allowable length
does not include an allowance for the length of 16 feet (4.9 m) to the workstation equipment. The
maximum allowable length does not include an allowance for the length of 16 feet (4.9 m) in the
horizontal cross-connect.
