FORT PIERCE ENGINEERING, INC. IRC Maintenance <br /> C. Install cables using techniques, practices, and methods that are consistent with Category 5 <br /> rating of components and that ensure Category 5 performance of completed and linked signal <br /> paths, end to end. <br /> D. Install cables without damaging conductors, shield, or jacket. <br /> E. Do not bend cables, in handling or in installing, to smaller radii than minimums recommended <br /> by manufacturer. <br /> F. Pull cables without exceeding cable manufacturer's recommended pulling tensions. <br /> 1 . Pull cables simultaneously if more than one is being installed in same raceway. <br /> 2. Use pulling compound or lubricant if necessary. Use compounds that will not damage <br /> conductor or insulation. <br /> 3 . Use pulling means, including fish tape, cable, rope, and basket-weave wire or cable grips, <br /> that will not damage media or raceway. <br /> G. Install exposed cables parallel and perpendicular to surfaces or exposed structural members and <br /> follow surface contours where possible. <br /> H. Secure and support cables at intervals not exceeding 30 inches (760 mm) and not more than 6 <br /> inches (150 mm) from cabinets, boxes, fittings, outlets, racks, frames, and terminals. <br /> I. Wiring within Wiring Closets and Enclosures: Provide conductors of adequate length. Train <br /> conductors to terminal points with no excess. Use lacing bars to restrain cables, to prevent <br /> straining connections, and to prevent bending cables to smaller radii than minimums <br /> recommended by manufacturer. <br /> J. Separation of Wires: Comply with TIA/EIA-569-A rules for separating unshielded copper <br /> voice and data communication cabling from potential EMI sources, including electrical power <br /> lines and equipment. <br /> K. Make splices, taps, and terminations only at indicated outlets, terminals, and cross-connect and <br /> patch panels. <br /> L. Use splice and tap connectors compatible with media types. <br /> 3 .3 GROUNDING <br /> A. Comply with Division 16 Section "Grounding and Bonding. " <br /> B . Ground cable shields, drain conductors, and equipment to eliminate shock hazard and to <br /> minimize ground loops, common-mode returns, noise pickup, cross talk, and other impairments. <br /> C. Bond shields and drain conductors to ground at only one point in each circuit <br /> D. Signal Ground Terminal : Locate in each equipment room and wiring closet; isolate from power <br /> system and equipment grounding. <br /> E. Signal Ground Bus: Mount on wall of main equipment room with standoff insulators. <br /> 16750 VOICE AND DATA COMMUNICATION CABLING Page 5 OF 7 <br />
