ensuring there is no conflict with the operation and maintenance of other systems. The
Tender shall give ftill details of the type of cables to be used including the type of
termination, identification method, method of installation and limitations (if any).
Termination of cables in the FD shall be on racks, frames or wall-mount assemblies to
suit the selected modules and/or patch panels. Cable installed underground either direct
buried or buried in conduit shall be of gel-filled Loose Tube constmction that meets the
requirements of the 'Water Penetration' test specified in lEC 60794-1-2 Clause 25,
Method -F5B. In addition, such cable shall not allow fluids to penetrate through the
sheath. To comply with the identification requirements of AS/ACIF S009, cable shall not
be painted. Occasional overspray from Acrylic water-based painting can be acceptable
provided the overspray coverage does not exceed lm length on the cables. All metal
pathways should be bonded to the building earth system thereby providing a bonding
conductor facility to minimize the effects of noise coupling.
B. Copper Cable:
1. Cat 6 cables shall be grouped together in bundles not exceeding 24 cables per bundle. Cat
5 cables shall be grouped together in bundles not exceeding 32 cables per bundle. Cat 6A
permanent links should be at least 15 m long to minimize low NEXT or RL issues like
•^Pass. Do not mix Cat 6 and Augmented Cat 6 cables in the same bundle. CopperTen
Augmented Cat 6 cables should have 25mm separation from Cat 6 cables to minimize
alien crosstalk. Do not arrange any Cat 6 cables within bundles or in a tray in straight
lines. Leave them in a random lay to help minimize extemal alien crosstalk between the
cables. This is the TYCO 'Random Lay In Bundle And Tray for Cat 6 cable and Cat 6A'
principle. Cat 6 cables shall be secured with Velcro™ at least 10 mm wide or approved
elastic ties. Use Velcro^"^ or approved elastic ties applied at random spacings up to
300mm apart on catenary wires. Provide adequate support for all cabling that is vertically
installed, ensuring that the weight of the cables is sufficiently supported. Use Velcroi""^ or
approved elastic ties at approx 300mm vertical spacing. Bend control accessories (eg
'water-falls') shall be used to restrict cable bending during and after installation so that
minimum bend radius is not exceeded. This particularly applies to all locations where
cables change from horizontal to vertical. Cables shall be installed so as not to exceed the
minimum bending radius. Use a bending radius not less than 50 mm radius (100 mm dia)
during cable pulling, and not less than 25 mm radius (50 mm dia) for hand placement on
horizontal mns eg at the TO or in skirting ducts. For tighter bend radius applications,
obtain the manufacturer's approval before installation. For Cat 6 cable installations, the
provision of spare cable should be avoided by good design and careful selection of
termination locations. However, if specified on the drawings, allow for approx 2-3
metres of spare in the cable mns at the FD (by J-bends or U-bends in the cabinet/rack)
and possibly at the entry to the service pole or skirting duct containing the TO. Place this
spare cable in such a manner that it is fully supported and that the minimum bending
radius is maintained. Spare cable shall not be stored inside service poles or skirting ducts.
If spare cable is contained in loops, there shall be mo more than 4 loops in a coil at any
one location and each loop shall be of different diameter with minimum diameter of 300
mm. Cables shall be installed so as not to exceed the maximum hauling tension of 11kg
for Cat 6 cables and CopperTen Augmented Cat 6 cables. Consolidation Points, if
installed, shall be at least 15 metres away from the FD. There is no minimum requirement
between FD and TO, or CP and TO. Red sheathed horizontal fixed copper cabling shall
be reserved for fire detection/alarm services. Cables that penetrate fire barriers shall have
the penetrations suitably fire-stopped by qualified operators as required by local building
code regulations/laws. The amount of un-twist in a pair at any termination shall be no

more than 13mm for Cat 5 and 10mm for Cat 6 and Augmented Cat 6. The amount of
cable sheath stripped back at any termination shall such that the sheath terminates
approximately 10 mm or less from module or socket housing for C5, C6 and Augmented
C6 cables.
C. Optical Fibre Cable
1. Bend control accessories shall be used to restrict cable bending during installation so that
minimum bend radius is not exceeded as specified in the relevant cable technical data
sheet. Cables shall not be installed at a tension that exceeds their specified limited as per
in the relevant cable technical data sheet. Cable enclosures (eg. pull boxes) shall be
capable of accommodating the specified minimum bend radius of all installed cable as a
bundle. Cable direct buried shall be in suitably prepared ground such as in well tamped
surrounding sand or soft soil. Cables used in a building shall be of Tight-Buffered low
smoke zero halogen constmction and shall be resistant to UV radiation where the cable is
exposed to direct sunlight. Optical fibre cables occupying the same conduits as LV power
cables should be installed in sub-ducts to maintain the integrity of the optical fibre cable
during installation and fiiture maintenance. Consideration must be given to minimizing
the risk of damage to underground cable through vehicle and stmctural loading or soil
movement or severe bending radius or above-ground impact. Underground cable will be
exposure to UV radiation where it enters and exits the ground and it must be suitably
protected at these locations.
D. Pathways - Continuous
1. Continuous pathways are Tray (flat, slotted, ladder). Ducts (in-floor, perimeter, skirting).
Conduits, Power Poles or Blades or similar. The recommendations in AS/NZS 3084
Pathways and Spaces should be followed. All cable trays, catenaries and ductwork
required to complete the installation will be the responsibility of the Tenderer to supply
and install. The installer is to liaise with end-user, and/or main conttactor when strip-out
of existing floors commences to evaluate if any existing cable tray or ducts can be re-
used. The preferred depth of surface/skirting ducts is 50mm to accommodate the
minimum bending radius of Cat 5, Cat 6 and Augmented Cat 6 cables.
a. For 3-compartment communications ducts:
1) 'A 50H X 50D mm duct shall contain no more than 18 x CopperTen cables,
or 24 X Cat 6 cables, or 32 x Cat 5 cables (ie the maximum Cat 6 and Cat 5
bundle sizes).
2) 'A 40H X 50D mm duct shall contain no more than 12 x CopperTen cables,
or 24 X Cat 6 and Cat 5 cables.
3) 'A 35H X 40D mm duct shall contain no more than 6 x CopperTen cables,
or 12 X Cat 6 and Cat 5 cables.
2. All necessary pathway penetrations and access between floors is the responsibility of the
Tenderer to provide, and to ensure all penetrations and access holes at the completion of
the installation are fiilly sealed to local authority requirements and fire regulations by
qualified personnel. Support all cabling within the false ceiling space or under indoor
raised flooring by steel cable tray, tmnking, ducting, or catenary wires, fixed by
manufacturer approved hangers and methods onto stmctural building or flooring
elements. AU conductive pathways should be earthed to protective earth from the
electrical distribution board on the floor where such cable tray is installed. A licensed
electrical contractor must make the connection to the electrical distribution board
protective earth. Before cable is installed and after installation, ensure that conduit,
tmnking and tray is thoroughly clean of any extraneous material such as cable scraps,

dust, dirt, constmction debris and moisture. Any cable that has been subjected to
immersion in fluid shall have the pathway dried and cleaned and the cable shall be
completely replaced with new clean dry cable. Co-ordinate all tmnking, ducting, conduit
and ttay work with other services on site as necessary. Where cables exit a tray, provide
adequate protection from sharp ttay edges during the installation process and after
completion. Where cables are installed in partitions or false walls through sharp-edged
metal studs, ensure bushings are secured in these penetrations to protect cables. Restrict
conduh rans to no more than 30m of continuous run inside a building between hauling
points. Restrict any single pull to no more than two (2) x 90-degree bends, in conduits or
ducts. The pathway system shall otherwise be installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's instmctions.
E. Pathways - Non-continuous
1. Non-continuous pathways are Wireways (mesh, ribs). Catenaries, Hooks or Bags. Where
non-continuous- pathways are used to cable support systems, the following minimum
requirements shall be followed. The recommendations in AS/NZS 3084 Pathways and
Spaces should be followed. Catenary wires shall be anchored to stmctural elements ofthe
building and not to any service or support accessory. The maximum number of cables on
one catenary shall be 2 x bundles of 32 for Cat 5 or 2 x bundles of 24 for Cat 6. The
maximum sag of a pathway when fiiUy-loaded with cables shall not exceed 150 mm
between any two supports. Mesh trays for general use shall have metallic or non-metallic
crossbars at 100 mm spacing or less. Around extemal comers, the maximum unsupported
cable span shall be 150mm. Otherwise use a flat durable sheet in the bottom of the
pathway to support the cables. Curved bend control accessories that support the cables
shall be used to fiilly support the cables over the bend surface and maintain a minimum
bend radius of 50 mm in all situations where the cable or the tray/mesh drops down at an
angle of 45 degrees or greater. The maximum height of the mass of cables on a pathway
shall be 90mm. The height is reduced to 75mm if the cross bar spacing is up to 120mm in
special use trays. This ensures there is not too much weight on the bottom cables that rest
on the crossbars. The clearance above the sides of the tray/mesh shall be at least 1/2 the
width of the tray with 100mm as the minimum clearance. Supports for non-metallic mesh
shall be at 1 m spacing or less. The maximum sag should be less that 200 mm when fully
loaded. J-Hooks, bags or saddles shall be positioned at 800 mm spacing or less. The
surface of the hook or saddle that supports the cable shall be smooth and at least 34 mm
wide with rounded-off edges under the cables. The fixings of any cable support system
shall be onto the building stmcture by solid mechanical means, not adhesive means. Non-
continuous support pathways should be ran in straight lines following the building lines,
not a diagonal or zig-zag fashion. The pathway system shall otherwise be installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's instmctions.
F. Separation
1. The minimum separation between the fixed telecommunications cabling and parallel mns
greater than 3 m in length of LV fixed electrical cabling shall be at least 300 mm for
performance and noise reduction reasons. Separation from other electrically noisy
environments like power distribution mains and sub mains and fiuorescent light fittings
or halogen down light transformers shall be 300 mm. For non-warranted sites where
performance is not the primary requirement, the following safety requirements shall be
maintained. A minimum of 50 mm separation between the fixed telecommunications
cabling and parallel mns of LV electtical cabling. If the mn parallel to LV electrical
cables is less than 50mm, separate the two with a solid durable barrier (if metallic it

should be protectively earthed) for the entire length of mn less than 50 mm separation.
Where fixed telecommunications cables cross electrical cables, the crossing shall be at
right angles with 50mm separation (or a protective conduit/barrier extending 50 mm both
sides of the crossing) with both sets of cabling securely fixed in position to prevent any
relative movement or change in the separation. These safety separation/segregation are
set down in AS/ACIF S009 - Wiring Rules. Where fixed cabling is installed inside
modular fumiture partitions and similar enclosures or in service poles, maintain the 50
mm safety separation or have a solid durable separation barrier as per AS/ACIF S009.
Wherever possible, maintain a performance separation of up to 300 mm from LV power
cables to minimize noise induction. Install cables in partition ducts/trays, free from
protmsion of screws and similar sharp fasteners that may damage the cabling. Remove or
cover all sharp edges on the cabling pathway. Where patch cords are installed behind
removable panels in modular fiimiture or in under-desk pathways, maintain a separation
from LV power of 10 mm if possible. The preferred length of patch cords mnning
continuously in parallel with LV power under desks plus in 'umbilicals' is 5 m
maximum. In 'umbilical' pathways associated with modular office partition systems, the
LV power and the telecommunications cables shall use separate compartments. No
additional separation or barriers are required within the umbilical pathway. The end
fittings for umbilical pathways shall be such that the minimum bending radius of the
communications cables is not exceeded at either end.
3.8 DOCUMENTATION
