1.3 DEFINITIONS Provide: Furnish, install, terminate, label, test and certify a complete operating cabling system. Contract Documents (CD): Design drawings, specifications, sketches and schedules provided by the Engineer as they directly relate to this scope of work and this project. Structured Cabling Systems (SCS) wiring is defined as all required equipment and cabling including hardware, termination blocks, cross connect wire or cordage, patch panels, patch cords, telecommunication outlets, work area cords, UTP and fiber cable installed and configured to provide computer data and voice connectivity. Point-of-Entry (POE): Unmarked Manholes/Vaults at property line NET-POP Rooms: The area where the outside plant media/carrier services appears in the facility. The NET-POP contains equipment used by owner or carrier to handoff/transition cable from outside plant into inside plant type. Network Center/Main Distribution Frame (MDF) Areas: This technology space houses Layer 2/3 network switching gear and other main network distribution equipment and acts as the mid-connection point between the Core/Network and the IDF/access zones for all connections. Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF): is the location for the termination of backbone cables and for termination of horizontal cables, and for the interconnection of each. The space also hosts access-layer switches and user network connections within each floor. Active Equipment: electronic equipment used to develop various WAN, LAN, and voice services, e.g., digital multiplexers, RS-232 controllers, Ethernet hubs, switches, routers, PBX, etc. Campus Backbone: cabling system consisting of media and termination hardware interconnecting POE, Net-Pop’s and Future onsite buildings. Building Backbone: cabling system consisting of media and termination hardware interconnecting MDFs to IDFs. Horizontal: cabling system consisting of media and termination hardware interconnecting the Telecommunication Outlets (TOs) and the IDFs. Bonding: permanent joining of metallic parts to form an electrically conductive path which will assure electrical continuity and the capacity to conduct safely any current likely to be imposed on it. Cable Tray: vertical or horizontal open supports, usually made of aluminum or steel, which are fastened to the building structure. Cables are laid in and fastened to the trays. Cabinet: free standing, floor-mounted or wall-mounted modular enclosure designed to house and protect rack-mounted electronic equipment and passive terminations.
