A finer definition and exacting operation criteria are provided below for spaces used to terminate cable, cross connect telecommunications circuits and install various active electronic components. A. TELECOMMUNICATIONS ROOMS A Telecommunication Room (TR) is a dedicated, secure, and environmentally controlled space used to terminate telecommunications cabling and house connecting hardware and networking equipment. There are several types of Telecommunications Rooms, specifically: April 211 Page 8
Main Distribution Frame (MDF) - There will be one (1) MDF at each PCC campus or center. The MDF serves as the demarcation point for service providers and PCC. All external telecommunications service providers (voice, video and data) will hand off their services to PCC at the demarcation point established in the MDF. The MDF also serves as the central point that connects inter-building cables. The MDF houses the core telephone and network equipment used to communicate between buildings, campuses or centers, and the public switched network. The MDF will serve as an IDF for all voice, data, and video connections with-in 9 meters of the MDF. Building Distribution Frame (BDF) - There will be one (1) BDF for each building at a campus or center. The BDF serves at the point of entry for inter-building cables. The BDF will have intra-building connections of fiber, copper, between itself and all IDF(s) in a building. The BDF will serve as an IDF for all voice, data, and video connections within 9 meters of the BDF. The BDF houses the network and video equipment used to support voice, data and video in the building. Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF) - A building will have one or more IDF s if the building has more than one floor or if the distance between the BDF and longest horizontal (station) cable run from the BDF exceeds 9 meters. An IDF provides the voice connection and the data and video connection(s) to an office, classroom, lab, common area, or work space in a building. The IDF houses the equipment used to support voice, data and video in a section of a building. B. MDF At a minimum every College educational or administrative facility shall have a MDF. Where the size of the facility dictates, IDFs shall be provided. The MDF will serve as the connection point to the College s Wide Area Network ( WAN ) and the service entrance facility and demarcation point for Telco and alternate service providers. The MDF will also house the voice system, security, access control and video distribution head ends. It is imperative that the MDF be sized adequately to accommodate each of these systems. The minimum recommended MDF size in new construction projects shall never be smaller than 2' x 3' (6 square feet). The MDF will be located on the first floor. C.

Equipment not related to the support of the telecommunications room (e.g., piping, ductwork, pneumatic tubing, etc.) shall not be installed in, pass through, or enter the Telecommunications Rooms. D. IDF In cases where horizontal cabling lengths exceed 9 meters, an Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF) is required. The IDF shall meet all of the environmental conditions specified for a BDF in regard to HVAC and power. The IDF shall provide cross connect and interconnect facilities between horizontal cabling serving a portion of the facility and the backbone cabling to the BDF. April 211 Page 9

April 211 Page 34
APPENDIX C OUTSIDE CONDUIT SYSTEM AND VAULT INSTALLATION GUIDELINES Outside plant conduit and vault systems installed at facilities require unique and careful planning prior to placement. In most installations, the conduit duct bank is designed to include electrical, security, pneumatic control systems, video distribution, and telecommunications. The duct bank typically runs parallel to or at right angles from the major structures. Duct banks may be encased at bends or for their entire runs in concrete. As such, it is imperative to allocate pathway for the immediate needs, but to include a one hundred percent growth factor for future systems that will be required over the life span of the institution. A. Vault Placement and Security Vaults are in almost all cases; shared among low voltage applications, i.e., telecommunications, alarm, security, video, HVAC control systems, etc. Sizing and placement of the vaults requires consideration of the likelihood of re-entry and the physical security required for protection against unauthorized access. B. Drainage Installation of vaults should be such that water drainage will continue after the installation. In some instances the soil grading will be sufficient, while in other instances gravel may have to be placed at specified depths. The vault may be located below grade, in which case locator stakes or location devices should be employed. The location of the vault should be away from traffic conditions that could cause injury to personnel, yet it should be easily accessible for maintenance. C. Vault Racking and Space Allocations Approved vaults range in size from 4 x 4 x 6 up to 8 x 8.x 12. Conduits enter and exit these vaults in a variety of sizes and configurations. Allocation of space needs to be coordinated with all systems that will transverse the vault. For telecommunications systems, the following guidelines apply: o Splicing of fiber and copper cabling is not allowed. o Fiber optic cable will be completely encased in innerduct. The innerduct will be labeled as it passes through the vault. o Copper tie and supply cables passing though vaults and be likewise labeled. D. Conduit Allocation and Fill Procedures. All conduits shall be numbered and documented on site plan as-built drawings. All conduits that are not in use shall be plugged with a watertight duct plug designed specifically for such purpose. Separate conduits shall be allocated for fiber and high pair count copper cables. In the case of four-inch conduits allocated for fiber, five (5) oneinch innerducts shall be installed as a part of the initial activation. One, or more, of the innerducts shall be used for the initial fiber allocation with the remaining being allocated as spares. Innerduct shall be labeled at each end and where is passed through a vault as ccc - iii, where ccc = the conduit number from the site as-built drawings and iii = the innerduct number, 1 5, within the conduit.
