1. Architect will specify each dedicated telecom room fully lined on all walls from floor to 8'
AFF (+96") with 0.75" fire retardant 3/4" AC plywood (A side visible after installation),
painted with three coats of fire retardant bright white paint. Each sheet of plywood shall
have one fire rating stamp masked off such that after painting this stamp is visible to the
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). The Division 27 Contractor shall review the
architectural drawings and be prepared to mount ladder rack and other equipment to
masonry, gypsum, or other wall types if the plywood was omitted from the architectural
design.
2. Electrical Contractor will provide field device back boxes and conduit paths for use by the
Telecom or other division 27 Contractor.
3. The project painter may not be aware that ANY paint overspray (or direct application) of
paint of any type (latex, oil based and ALL other paint types) to the UTP (unshielded
twisted pair, generally called data cabling) voids the manufacturer's warranty and violates
this specification. Paint may not be chemically or physically removed in any way once
applied to the data cabling. Any cabling with paint overspray shall be fully replaced (no
splicing therefore the entire run).
1.05 FIRESTOPPING
A. Contractor shall be responsible for fire stopping all conduit sleeves (internally only) and cable tray
where required to maintain integrity of fire and/or smoke walls. The Contractor shall review
architectural drawings to determine which walls have a fire and/or smoke rating. Any rating other
than “non-rated” shall constitute a wall that requires fire stopping in all penetrations/openings.

B. The table above is design basis information. Once the Contractor has selected a product line to
bid from 2.01, COPPER UTP CABLE AND CONNECTIVITY PRODUCTS, paragraph B, and if the
connectivity manufacturer listed in that selection also manufacturers their own hardware equal to
the CPI products listed, then the Contractor may use those products in place of the CPI products
listed. If what is allowed in this paragraph is pursued, the Contractor assumes full liability for
submitting and installing products which fully meet the criteria established by the CPI product,
and also understands that if the engineer does not agree that the product meets the CPI design
basis, the product line will revert back to mandatory installation of the CPI products listed, with
any possible cost differences being fully the Contractors responsibility (including replacing
installed hardware if this determination is made post-installation). Lastly, to be eligible to pursue
this, the connectivity manufacturer shall offer an equivalent for each CPI part listed, and they all
shall be used (no mixing manufacturers).
C. Please see the table below for power equipment selection:
POWER EQUIPMENT PART #

2.04 WIRE BASKET HORIZONTAL CABLE MANAGEMENT
A. Wire basket shall be provided and installed (generally outside of telecom rooms only) as shown
on the plans.
B. Acceptable Manufacturers are:
1. Cablofil EZ Tray
2. GS Metals Flextray
3. Chatsworth (CPI)
C. Additional Wire Basket Requirements:
1. All wire basket and hardware shall be galvanized (no other coatings). This is to ensure a
product that is made of an electrically conductive material for grounding purposes.
2. Whenever possible the Contractor shall continue the basket around corners and changes
in elevation by applying the factory instructions for cutting and bending the material rather
than stopping the material, forcing the cable to jump from one installation to the other.
3. The Contractor shall only cut the material with manufacturer approved cutters which
leave a square edge, rather than bolt cutters which leave a sharp edge that can damage
cables and severely injure installers and the Owner in the future.
4. Wire basket is shown in part diagrammatically on the plans. Conduit sleeves are shown
passing through walls often with a stub symbol on each end (so the Electrical Contractor
knows what to install) looking like they are 3’ or 4’ long, but in the field that sleeve will
often not be any longer than the wall is thick (which is acceptable as long as it has
bushings). The Contractor shall install the wire basket to the intended target shown on
the plans (the destination of the cable that is, possibly the area below a floor box, wall
sleeves, or other longer conduit pathway, etc.). The maximum air gap between wire
basket and the cable destination horizontally shall be one foot (12”). The maximum air
gap between wire basket and the cable destination vertically shall be two feet (24”).
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01 UTP NO-PAINT WRITTEN NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENT
A. Many painters do not know that paint overspray of any quantity on voice/data UTP cabling (called
UTP from here on) voids the manufacturer's extended warranty required by the specification.
The Telecom Contractor shall notify the General Contractor in writing that the UTP cannot be
painted (not even the slightest bit of overspray) and inform him or her that mechanical or
chemical removal of paint is not allowed but rather full replacement of any cable that has received
any amount of paint or paint overspray shall be fully replaced (no splicing allowed). This
notification shall occur at least 30 days prior to any UTP being installed in the facility or brought
on-site for storage.

3.02 INSTALLATION AND LABELING
B. Install telecommunication systems cables and auxiliary materials as indicated in accordance with
manufacturer's written instructions, and recognized industry practices.
1. In general, all interior cables are installed in conduit.
2. D rings are allowed in telecommunications room as needed.
3. Contractor shall use hook and loop type fasteners on all UTP telecommunications cable.
Tie wraps may be temporarily used loosely for dressing UTP cables during installation if
they are removed before final inspection. Any tie wrap found in place around UTP cable
tight enough that a 0.5” wooden dowel cannot be inserted into the bundle at the tie wrap
location shall therefore obligate the Contractor to replace those potentially damaged UTP
cables at the Design Professionals discretion, whether they pass electronic testing or not.
4. Tie wraps may be used carefully on OSP and armored cabling at light tension levels
which do not result in any visible cable jacket deformation.
5. If unarmored fiber is specified without innerduct for any reason, tie wraps are forbidden
on that cabling.
6. Any and all tie wraps used in the project shall be trimmed flush at the locking device
using a fully flush cutter tool for safety. Any tie wrap found with a sharp point shall be
removed by the Contractor and replaced without additional compensation.
C. Identify all fiber, copper, and coaxial cables that terminate in the telecommunication room as to
field location.
1. Provide manufacturer’s standard vinyl-cloth self-adhesive cable/conductor markers of
wrap-around type; either pre-numbered plastic coated type, or write-on type with clear
plastic self-adhesive cover flap; numbered to show cable identification. Install within 6" of
cable end.
2. Contractor shall not distinguish between UTP that is initially intended for voice or data
use. The structured cabling plant is designed to be flexible and shall be numbered
sequentially throughout the building. Room numbers shall not be used in the numbering
scheme. For buildings with multiple Telecom Rooms (and/or per floor), an alphanumeric
identifier shall identify the telecom room, followed by the sequentially numbered jack. For
example, a jack labeled 2A-97 would terminate in the “A” Telecom Room on the second
floor, and be connected to jack #97 on the patch panels.
3. All field device labeling shall match the telecom room labeling for the corresponding
cable.
4. Jacks shall be numbered sequentially on the patch panel field, beginning at the top left,
working across the row to the right, then down to the next row, etc. This will require
Contractor to plan the installation and terminate sequentially on both ends through the
building rather than terminate randomly which results in confusion for Owner.
5. When transitioning from one floor to another on a multi-floor installation served out of one
telecom room (or a multi-floor section of a larger building), the patch panel at the end of
the installation for a particular floor shall have at least 12 open jacks/slots for future
growth on that floor. Also, a new patch panel shall always be started for each new floor.
This means if a particular floor has 25 jacks (using 24 port patch panels), the Contractor
shall leave the second patch panel with 23 openings and start a fresh patch panel for the
next floor.
D. After completion, all cables shall be thoroughly tested in accordance with the division 27 Testing
and Documentation section.
1. Contractor shall provide all instruments for testing the cables.
2. Contractor shall demonstrate in the presence of Owner's representative that the
telecommunications system is complete and operational.
3. Contractor shall complete and submit the Certificate of System Demonstration.

E. After completion, comprehensive As-Builts will be created and posted in each Telecom Room
within 3 days.
1. Two hard copies shall be created for each Telecom Room detailing the entire structured
cabling plant and labeling scheme after installation. One hard copy shall consist of (at a
minimum) the Telecom plans marked with permanent ink to show the labeling used at
each field location, and a table or spreadsheet (for example, an 8 ½” x 11” printed Excel
file) that lists all the patch panel jacks in a column sequentially, followed by a cross
reference column identifying the room name/number that the corresponding jack is in.
This is the only part of the labeling process in which room name/numbers are acceptable.
The second hard copy shall be identical to the first one. One copy shall be posted in
each corresponding Telecom Room, and the other copy shall be submitted to the Design
Professional for review according to the submittal process identified in the shop drawing
paragraph of Specification Section 27 0010. This second copy will then be forwarded to
Owner.
