1. System Description
1.1 Introduction
The purpose of this Operation and Maintenance manual is to enable the Passive
Infrastructure (Cabling) to be maintained in a safe and efficient manner. To provide a
structured cabling system architecture used in conjunction with a modular cabling
solution to provide connectivity, facilitates a flexible and manageable infrastructure.
Structured Cabling is the design, documentation, and management of the lowest layer of
the OSI Network model-the physical layer. The physical layer is the foundation of any
network whether it is Data, voice, video or alarms, and defines the physical media upon
which signals or data is transmitted through the network.
Approximately 90% of the network is composed of passive devices such as cable, cross-
connect Blocks, and patch panels. Documenting these network components is critical to
keeping a network finely tuned. The physical medium is copper cable Cat 6A.
Key components of the Structured Cabling design include the backbone / horizontal
pathway, Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF), Main Distribution Frame (MDF) and
horizontal / Vertical Distribution system.
1.2 Purpose
The structured cabling system is designed to provide the flexibility to change the
telephone outlets to data outlets and vice versa, by suitable changes in the wiring
closets. The structured cabling system interconnects telecommunication equipment (for
Data or Voice) in a multi vendor environment and is based on modular sub-systems that
are independent yet complimentary. This approach facilitates easy growth, since changes
in one sub-system do not affect others. The system uses hierarchy of nodes laid out in a
star topology, thus facilitating moves, changes and additions without having had to again
lay the cables.
In all the areas covered under this package, both the voice and data outlets are installed
with RJ-45 sockets, into which the client will be able to plug in the cables (line cords)
connecting to Telephone or Computers with suitable cross-connections at patch panel.
The voice outlets are meant not only for telephone connections but also for fax machines,
ISDN connections, modem connections, Internet connections, etc. The outlets are
designated as Data or Voice as per the requirement. All voice or data outlets are fully
interchangeable.
The Workers Hospital & Integrated Health Center under this package comprises of
Workers Hospital (Basement + Ground Floor + 2 Level Floor), Integrated Health Center
(Ground Floor), Documentation Area (Ground Floor), Mosque (Ground Floor), CUP (Ground
Floor) and the following rooms are available for the ICT equipment.

1.2.1 MDF System:
The Fiber Optic Backbone cables are terminated onto the respective Fiber patch panels
with adaptors, splice trays & pigtails housed inside the 42U Floor Standing Cabinet and
Cat 6A backbone copper cables are terminated onto the Main Distribution Frame.
1.2.2 IDF System:
Theres a 42U Floor Standing Cabinet, 15U & 12U Wall Mount cabinet inside the IDF Room
shall serve as the IDF for all the data/voice connectivity to each designated work area
outlets of Cat 6A RJ-45 module. One end of the Cat 6A horizontal cable shall be
6 of 91
terminated onto the 24 Port Cat 6A UTP Patch Panel inside the Cabinet and the other end
is terminated onto the work area outlet. The other end of the Fiber Optic Backbone cable
from the MDF shall be terminated onto the Fiber patch panel and the other end of the Cat
6A Backbone copper cables are terminated Voice Patch panel which are both housed
inside the Cabinet.
1.2.3 Horizontal Cabling System:
The entire horizontal network points are of Siemon 10G Cat 6A F/FTP LS0H cables used to
connect the work area outlet to the IDF. These Cat 6A shielded outlets are connected to
respective Cat 6A shielded patch panels housed inside the IDF cabinet.
Each workstation outlet has:
All the workstation outlets are terminated with Cat 6A shielded sockets, dust
protected with Faceplate.
The Cat 6A 8-positions connector is wired as per EIA/TIA configuration.
The above category 6A cables, leading from all all data, voice and ELV
requirements outlets on the wall or floor sockets are terminated on to a Cat 6A RJ-
45 connector on a UTP patch panel.
The cable between Workstation outlet and the Patch panel is called Horizontal
Cable.
The Panels, where the data cables are terminated is fitted in a 19 cabinet. In this
project, the IDF have 42U Floor Standing cabinet where the patch panels are fitted.
The cross-connections of the data/voice outlets to the hubs/switches in the
cabinets is done by plugging the Cat 6A RJ45-RJ45 patch cords in to the selected
sockets on patch panel and any port of the hub/switch.
Horizontal Cabling: As mentioned earlier, the horizontal cabling is that portion of the
system which links the telecommunications closet to the work area, with a 4 Pair Cat 6A
F/FTTP cable. The maximum length allowed for horizontal cable is 90 meters.
7 of 91
Work Area: The work area is that building space where the occupants interact with
telecommunications Terminal Equipment. The work area sub-system includes a variety of
hardware (not in present scope) such as a terminal, PC, or workstation or a server or a
telephone instrument. This hardware is plugged in to the telecom outlet through a
modular line cord.
Measured Data: The measured data for each horizontal cable link is that which is
measured from the modular connector at the faceplate up to the patch panel. The cables
for the Data transmission are terminated on a PCB patch panel and those for Voice
transmission are also terminated on a PCB patch panel.
The measured data comprises of the following:

- Wire map: The correct wire map ensures that there is no cross connection or
mismatch of pairs between the terminations at the two ends of the cable. The
terminations at MDVO connectors are made to EIA/TIA 568A configuration.
- Length of the cable: The length of the cable from faceplate to the patch panel
should be within 90 meters, for compliance with EIA/TIA standards.
- Propagation delay
- Impedance of the cable in ohms
- Resistance of the cable in ohms.
- Capacitance in Farads.
- Attenuation in Decibels.
- Return loss of signal at scanner end, in decibels.
- Return loss of signal at injector end, in decibels.
- NEXT (Near End Cross Talk) in decibels.
- ACR (Attenuation to Cross Talk Ratio)
The test results are automatically recorded in the testing equipment and are saved for
future reference/print outs.
8 of 91
Measurement Points: The above mentioned test data results are measured from each
end of each cable connection between:
- Modular connector at the faceplate of the data/voice outlet.

- Corresponding PCB patch panel port in the hub room.
1.2.4 Backbone Cabling System
The backbone cabling system provides interconnections between telecommunications

rooms, equipment rooms, main terminal space, and entrance facilities. It includes
backbone cables, intermediate and main cross-connects, mechanical terminations, and
patch cords or jumpers used for backbone-to-backbone cross-connections.
Below is a detailed analysis of the fiber optic and multi-pair telephone cable connectivity
that has been implemented on the project.

3. Operation Instructions
3.1 Cross-connection:
The Operation of the structured cabling system mainly involves in cross-connections to

activate any chosen outlet socket for data service or voice service and to effect moves
and changes.
The cross-connections of the data/voice outlets to the hubs/switches in the cabinets is

done by plugging the RJ45-RJ45 patch cords in to the selected sockets on patch panel and
any port of the hub/switch.
11 of 91
3.2 Calibration and testing:
The Voice and Data Cabling system, as installed, does not need any further testing, after
the testing 100% done at the time of installation.
3.3 Adjustments:
The adjustments in Structured Cabling System for Data and Voice system relate to
Moves,
Additions and Changes. The system administrators major concern is for the above three
aspects, where people and / or equipment is relocated within the organization. The
Structured Cabling system allows these operations to be completed generally with
minimum or no interruption to existing network users.
In most cases, cross connections between the equipment and distribution fields can be
accomplished without compromising system integrity. However, prior to performing
changes involving connections between equipment fields of telecommunications closets,
please consult the installers. This will ensure that changes performed will conform to
system specifications.
Moves, additions and changes involve appropriate cross connections at the

telecommunications closet. In order to implement these, it is imperative to maintain
accurate records of the communications facilities. It is suggested that trained personnel
who are conversant with the installation should be permitted to effect any changes.
3.4 Moves:
Depending upon the location of the work stations/terminals, use the following steps:
a. Disconnect the workstation/terminal at the old outlet. Note the Identification number
on the faceplate at the old location and the new location where the workstation is to be
moved.
b. For Patch panel system (for Data / Voice cabling):
Find the ports having the above identification numbers on the patch panel in the telecom
closet. Remove the patch cord from the old position and plug into the new position.
In the system where all the cables form both data and voice outlets are terminated in
patch Panel, following method can affect the Moves. Simply unplug the RJ45 connector
of the patch cord from old position (identified by number on the faceplate) and plug it in
to the new position on the patch panel.
c. Reconnect the workstation /terminal at new outlet.
d. Update the records.
12 of 91
If both old and new locations are served by different IDFs follow these steps:
a. Disconnect the workstation/terminal at old outlet.
b. Identify port (pairs) at the distribution fields in IDF, if required by referring to the
records.
Identify port (pairs) of the circuit on the distribution & equipment fields in the new IDF (if
required by the referring to records.)
For patch panel system: Reconnect distribution and equipment field at new position with
a patch cord at the new IDF (if required). The patch cord can be considered same for the
purpose of effecting changes and moves. However, it may be noted that trained person
using the punching tool should do the changes at punched ends.
c. Reconnect the workstation /terminal at new outlet
d. Update the records
3.5 Addition of a service:
The Structured Cabling System allows for substantial growth of the communications
facilities, consequently, there may be a few communications outlets on each floor of the
building where there are no work stations/terminals connected. Cables from these
additional outlets are already terminated in the hub rooms and numbered. But these are
not cross- connected to the distribution field, at the time of installation.
The following steps shall be used to add a new workstation / terminal.
a. At the Work station:
- For data and LAN services connect the device (with appropriate adapters) to an unused
data outlet.
- For voice or voice and data services, connect the phone or modem to an unused voice
outlet, with proper adapter.
- Record the outlet used.
b. At the Hub rooms:
For Patch panel system (for Data / Voice cabling):
13 of 91
Identify the port, corresponding to above outlet (having the above identification
numbers) on the patch panel in the IDF. Connect one end of the patch cord to this port
and plug the other end of patch cord to the any free port of the equipment (like hub,
switch etc.).
For patch panel system, use Data patch cord of appropriate length. Route the patch cords
NEATLY through distribution rings located adjacent to the mount and plug the patch cord
into the desired post.
- Add the new workstation
- Update your records.
While using the patch cords always use shortest possible (leaving necessary slack). This
practice facilities easy administration and also promotes a NEATER appearance of the
cross-connect system, which is essential.
3.6 Removal of service
For Patch panel system:
a. Identify workstation to be removed and disconnect.
b. Identity required port on the patch panel at distribution field and equipment in the IDF
(if necessary) by referring to the records.
c. Un-plug the patch cord at both ends (distribution as well as equipment fields) and
removes the patch cord.
3.7 Change of service:
Depending upon the location of the work stations /terminals, use the following steps:
a. Disconnect the workstation/terminal at the old outlet. Note the identification number
on the faceplate at the old location and the new location where the workstations is to be
moved.
b. For Patch panel system:
Find the ports having the above identification numbers on the patch panel in the telecom
closet. Remove the patch cord from the old position and plug into the new position.
c. Reconnect the workstation/terminal at new outlet.

4.1.3 Record Keeping:

A wide variety of services such all data, voice and ELV systems are used by means of the
structured cabling system.
Effective management and proper recording of communications facilities reduces down
time of network and cuts down material and labor costs. Hence every move, addition and
change at IDFs, MDF and the telecom closet must be recorded either manually or
electronically, for operational, administrative and maintenance reasons.
Generally, the maintenance of the cabling system involves the following elements to be
recorded.
a. Termination Hardware
Communication outlets
Patch Panels

These elements of the network can be managed either manually or through

use of CABLE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE (not in the scope of the present
job).
The manual records should have:
-Details of Terminals, recording where the cables are terminated in the

building
-Cable record sheet showing type of cable used for backbone or horizontal
also showing where the cable is coming from and at which location it is
terminated.
-The equipment records showing where the equipment is located, type of

equipment, number of ports, and location of equipment termination.
e. Exchange of components and assemblies:
The RJ 45 Modular Data/Voice outlet connectors and the face plates can be
exchanged between different outlets provided they are of same type and
color and model number.
4.1.4 Special tools, test equipment:
No special tools are needed for effecting changes, moves, additions of the workstations in
this project, since patch cords with RJ45 plug-able connectors are supplied in this project.
These patch cords can be easily inserted in the RJ45 ports of the patch panel as well as
the active equipment.
4.2 Maintenance Schedule
4.2.1 Preventive maintenance tasks:

The basic preventive maintenance tasks are given below:
a. Periodic maintenance involving the general cleaning (vacuum suction cleaning

and inspection of the system should be carried out by in house personnel.
18 of 91
b. Checks for damage that may be caused by improper plugging of line cords
/patch cords can be done whenever any difficulty in use of the workstation
equipment is reported (e.g. Telephone connection sometimes on and
sometimes off etc.). Check the physical condition of the patch cord or line cord
especially at the connector end. Replace if found defective.
c. Ensure that the patching is done correctly to same outlet and corresponding
connector in patch panel.
Other than above, the system is maintenance free unless a fault situation occurs due to
external reasons in which case the installer should be called to rectify the fault.
For effective and efficient operation and maintenance of the structured system, it is
highly recommended that all the concerned personnel should be properly trained.
4.2.2 Maintenance Summary:

It is recommended to follow the below given schedule for maintenance of the Data /Voice
structured cabling system:
a. Quarterly General cleaning by vacuum method. The period may be

changed depending upon dust and environment
conditions
b. Yearly Cross-connections after any changes are done
c. Once in 2 years System inspection by inhouse trained personnel.

Verifying that the records are made update.
5. Emergency Procedures and Troubleshooting

general fire prevention measures will be taken as per instructions.
Communication: Communication from work areas to Site Office via mobile
phones issued to senior foremen.
d. Risk and Controls
Relevant Risk Assessments & Hazard Analysis.

Environmental Considerations: After the finalization of the works the
working area should be cleared of any scrap materials in a daily basis
related to the performed work
Emergency Maintenance:
The list of emergency states includes:

a. Breaks or faults of cables in horizontal or backbone structure cabling system
b. Breaking of work area telecommunications connectors
c. Faults of termination hardware elements in mounting racks or
telecommunication closets
d. Undetected errors or cable system failures
Troubleshooting is required as soon as possible in emergencies. The troubleshooting
can be carried out by instruments or visually. In cases when the maintenance
personnel cannot perform troubleshooting by available instruments and tools, it is
necessary to contact the company that installed the structure cabling system or its
local authorized partner for consultation or to submit a request for service or warranty
repair. For quick recovery it is necessary to make reconnections to a reserve
transmission channel, or if such a channel is not available, to provide temporary
communications.
5.1 Troubleshooting
20 of 91
5.1.1 Faults in Cable Systems Based on Twisted Pairs

The following failures may occur in the electrical parts of various structure cabling
systems during their implementation and day to day operation.
Cable breaks or destroyed by accident

Breaks or short circuiting of single conductors
Electrical contact loss between cable conductors and jacks of patch panels or
termination positions.
Wrong wiring
Disturbances of electrical performance in lines
Increased noised levels from external electromagnetic sources.
Cable scanners are used for trouble shooting (Equipment used is Fluke DTX 1800). The
functional possibilities of cable scanners enable users to accurately find the locations and
the reason for failures of the cabling system. In some cases failures can be visual
detected (broken RJ 45 module, un-patching of pairs form the module etc). Trouble
shooting methods, elimination of some failure and their reasons are listed below:
5.1.2 Length
Troubleshooting Recommendations
If you are not careful and use the pre-set cable type, it may not match the NVP of the
cable under test. In this case, you can have an NVP difference of 10% or more, which
translates directly into a length error. In the event, the length is only slightly too long,
check the NVP and cable type.
Assuming the NVP is correct, another cause of excess length is extra cabling looped in
the ceiling or walls. Does the link in question meet the anticipated plan?
Sometimes, for example in the case of an airline hanger or warehouse, a remote station
may be forced to be over 100 meters from the wiring closet.
If this has been planned for, and the intended application supports the excess length,
then the link may fail structured wiring standards but still be approved for the
application.
Some field testers allow customized auto tests to be configured that permit variances
from Standard TIA and ISO/CENELEC requirements. Such auto tests are useful in that they
verify the installation meets requirements, allow for planned variances and still give the
customer a "PASS" result.
5.1.3 Wiremap
In the case of a wire map failure, a careful examination of the installation (IDC block or
Connector) will usually show that one or more wires have been transposed. Inspect and
re-terminate as necessary. If conductors are missing, it could be because they are
21 of 91
unnecessary for the intended application. For example, 10BASE-T and token ring each
require only four conductors. Some wiring designs purposely use one four pair cable to
supply two RJ45 connections each with two pairs. The important issue is to ensure the
installed cabling meets the required design criteria.
If an open conductor is found, use the length measurement capability of your Field Tester
to determine whether the open is at the near or far end to speed fault isolation and
repair.
5.1.4 DC Loop Resistance

In case of unexpected high DC resistance, compare the failed pair against other pairs in
the cable. This will determine whether the issue is specific to the one failed pair or due to
a problem affecting the entire cable. If a single pair is at fault, inspect termination points
for a poorly made or oxidised connection.
5.1.5 Propagation Delay

Excessive propagation delay can have only one cause: the cable is too long. If you fail
propagation delay, check to ensure that the pass/fail criteria match the design
specifications.
In many cases, a cable up to 25% too long (125m for Cat. 5) will still support most LAN
applications. However, the installation will fail most structured wiring standards, such as
those published by CENELEC, ISO/IEC and the TIA.
In some cases, if the customer insists on the location of the terminal equipment, and an
excessive length cannot be avoided, you can verify other cable parameters. If they pass,
you can provide information that indicates the cable meets frequency-dependent
parameters but is non-compliant with overall standards due to excessive length. This
provides professional results to the user while placing on them the responsibility for non-
compliant cabling.
5.1.6 Propagation Delay Skew

If the Delay Skew is high, provided the intended application is a 2-pair application such as
10Base-T or token ring, the application should still perform. If one pair is much higher or
lower in delay than the others, very high Delay Skew may result.
Examine the results for each pair; if one pair exhibits uncharacteristically high or low
delay, re-examine the installation.
5.1.7 Attenuation/Insertion Loss

22 of 91
The most common reason for excess Attenuation is excessive Length. Therefore,
Attenuation troubleshooting often relates to Length troubleshooting.
Another possible reason for excessive Attenuation is poorly terminated connections. A

poor connection can add significant Attenuation. A clue to this is to compare the
Attenuation on all four pairs; if only one or two pairs have high Attenuation, this suggests
an installation issue. If all pairs have high Attenuation, check for excess length.
Temperature also affects Attenuation in some cables. The dielectric materials, which form
the conductor insulation and cable jacket, absorb some of the transmitted signal as it
propagates along the wire. This is especially true of cables containing PVC. PVC material
contains a chlorine atom that is electrically active and forms dipoles in the insulating
materials. These dipoles oscillate in response to the electromagnetic fields surrounding
the wires, and the more they vibrate, the more energy is lost from the signal.
Temperature increases exacerbate the problem, because they make it easier for the
dipoles to vibrate in the insulation. This results in increasing loss with temperature.
This is why standards bodies tend to specify Attenuation requirements adjusted for 20C.
Cables operating in temperature extremes can be subject to additional attenuation.
5.1.8 Near End Crosstalk (NEXT)

In many cases, excessive Crosstalk is due to poorly twisted terminations at connection

points. All connections should be twisted to within 13 mm of the point of termination. The
first thing to do in the event of a NEXT failure is to use the field tester to determine at
which end the NEXT failure occurred. Once this is known, check the connections at that
end, and replace or re-terminate as appropriate.
If this does not appear to be the problem, check for the presence of lower Category patch
cords (such as voice grade cable in a Class E installation). Making up Patch cords on site
using crimped RJ45 plugs and normal horizontal cable causes many problems. This
procedure should be avoided; crimped connectors are notoriously poor and cannot be
uniformly made on site.
Another possible cause of NEXT failure is split pairs, discussed earlier. This should be
identified automatically with the wire map function of your field tester. Female couplers
are another high source of crosstalk and should not be used in a data installation. If a
cable is not long enough, replace it with a cable of the required length rather than adding
another cable.
Sometimes a NEXT failure is caused when an inappropriate test has being selected. For
example, you cannot expect a Cat. 5 installations to meet Cat. 6 performance
requirements.
In event you have eliminated all of the above NEXT sources are still experiencing NEXT
failures it could be caused by faulty or bad connectors, contact the system designer for
further assistance.
5.1.9 Power-sum NEXT (PSNEXT)

Since PSNEXT is a calculation based on NEXT measurements, troubleshooting for PSNEXT

failures reduces to troubleshooting for NEXT problems. Once you have isolated and
repaired the NEXT problem, PSNEXT will automatically improve.
5.1.10 Attenuation to Crosstalk Ratio (ACR)

ACR is derived from NEXT and Attenuation data. Any steps taken to improve either NEXT
or Attenuation performance will improve ACR performance.
In practice, this usually means troubleshooting for NEXT, because the only way to
significantly improve Attenuation is to shorten the length of the cable.
5.1.11 Power-sum Attenuation to Crosstalk Ratio (PSACR)

Since PSACR is a calculation based on ACR measurements, troubleshooting for PSACR

failures reduces to troubleshooting for ACR problems. As mentioned earlier,
troubleshooting for ACR reduces in turn to troubleshooting NEXT and attenuation. Once
you have isolated and repaired the ACR problem, PSACR will automatically improve.
5.1.12 Equal Level Far End Crosstalk (ELFEXT)

The same factors that contribute to NEXT problems contribute to FEXT problems. So
troubleshooting for ELFEXT reduces to troubleshooting for NEXT and attenuation
problems, just as you would for ACR problems.
5.1.13 Power-sum Equal Level Crosstalk (PSELFEXT)
There are many possible causes for return loss failures. These include variable patch cord
impedance, patch cord impedance changes due to handling effects, installation practices
and lack of link margin in Standards models, non-compliant cable and non-compliant
connecting hardware. The Standards Committees are working to specify patch cord
return loss requirements, as well as improve the link model. The current model allows
worse case compliant components to fail the link limits, which is clearly unacceptable.
Patch cord effects should not be a problem when testing the basic link with the Fluke DTX
1800 because their test cords are pre-qualified for return loss and NEXT performance.
This may not be true for other field testers.

Installation practices are more important on Cat 5e and 6 than they were for Cat 5.
Additional unnecessary untwist in terminations can add several dB of return loss in some
cases. Be sure to apply a high level of care when installing cabling that requires return
loss qualification.
TDR techniques may be able to indicate gross impedance changes, but are generally
insufficient for pinpointing the source of a Cat 5e or 6 return loss failure.
5.1.14 Cable breaks

When a cable is broken, it must immediately replace with a new one. Cable splicing
(manual joint of the cable) is made in case when:
Cable routing is complicated due to some architectural or other features

There is a lack of reserve transmission channels
Interruptions of communications line results in the shutdown of important
equipment
Two plugs plug & jack and two jacks are installed on its ends. The plugs are
connected by means of an I-adaptor, the plug & jack simply fit to each other and
the jacks are connected by a common patch cord. It is possible to use connection
modules.
Any repairs are made taking into consideration the presence of appropriate accessory
hardware as well as the length allowance and extension of damaged parts to be cut off
prior to splicing. Spliced or temporary cables must be replaced at the first opportunity.
5.1.15 Increased Noise Levels from External Electromagnetic Sources

When noise occurs from external sources, it is necessary to increase the efficiency of the
screening and/or physically separate the noise sources and cable runs or equipment
locations as much as possible. Such noises are usually specific to industrial buildings.
5.1.16 Failures in Fiber Optic Cable System

The following failures may occur in the optical parts of various structure cabling
subsystems during their implementation and day to day operation.
Cable faults or breaks
Attenuation increases in connectors
Faults in patch cords
Improper connections of patch and equipment cords.
5.1.17 Cable Faults or breaks

When the mechanical damage appears as a result of overly high pulling, cutting or
pressing stresses, the easiest troubleshooting method is by optical reflectometer or
locator. In cases when the cable run consists of several cable segments that are patched
between each other at optical cross-connects, or when it is difficult to analyze the
25 of 91
reflectograms due to numerous reflections, it is recommended to verify the problem

section by section.
5.1.18 Improper Patching of Equipment and Patch Cords

The improper patching of equipment and patch cords implies the wrong order of patching
the plugs into patch panels. This is specific to systems that are equipped with ST and FC
connectors, whose constructions do not use duplex plugs with mechanical blocking
elements to prevent wrong connections. This kind of fault is not a real fault as it can
usually be tested and detected even during construction.
