A. Purpose:

1. The general purpose of each Facilities Standard is to provide minimal criteria for construction materials at University facilities regarding code compliance, warranty, approved products, execution and uniformity.

2. To protect the health and safety of patients, visitors, students, faculty and staff, in addition to protecting non-project UAB property, all construction must be in accordance with: NFPA 241 safeguarding construction, alteration and demolition operations; Standard Building Code, Chapter 33, regarding site work, demolition and construction; NFPA 101 Life Safety Code.

3. Construction safety is the responsibility of the contractor in accordance with the regulations and codes of the agency having jurisdiction, and according to the guidelines adapted by OSHA.

4. The Communications Raceway/Cabling System Facilities Standard establishes a series of guidelines for specifying this particular item on any construction project at the University. This Facilities Standard is not to be regarded as a specification.

B. General: 1. Communications Raceway System consisting of conduit, raceways, outlet boxes, pull

boxes, riser conduits, cable tray, terminal backboards, and service entrance conduit from the property line shall be specified as follows for all hospital buildings and non-hospital buildings classified as follows: High Rise Occupancy, Business Occupancy not Class B, and Institutional Occupancy with fire/smoke rated walls. For other smaller buildings without fire/smoke rated walls, the Architect or Engineer shall review the Building Code and the NEC Article 725 before eliminating the raceway to determine the wiring method.

2. When Fiber Risers and/or Copper Riser/Ties Cabling Facilities are required, UAB IT/

Telecommunications shall furnish and install the Riser Cabling Systems as required under a separate contract. (UAB Master Contract.)

3. All projects will require data station cabling/ station wiring. The Contractor shall install, test continuity for opens and shorts of all station cables/conductors in compliance with the attached UAB_CAT6A/DATA document. (Dated 06/06/2019.)

4. The Contractor shall provide the labor and material of the cable placement only, UAB IT/

Telecommunications shall furnish and install the Jack Modules, end terminations, testing and labeling/identifying- stenciling as required under a separate contract. (UAB Master Contract.)

5. The Contractor shall test all cables to ensure end-to-end continuity of all conductors in

each cable. After cables are terminated, UAB Communications shall test for conductor opens, tip and ring reversal and shorts, grounds and cable transposition, and test results shall be included with the closeout documents.




6. In general UAB IT/Telecommunications designates the use of CAT6A wiring for all areas

and projects. The Contractor shall also provide conduit and station outlet boxes.

7. Fire/Smoke wall and floor penetration seals shall be specified and the Contractor shall obtain UAB Penetration Permits as required to ensure all codes and standards. Penetrations are not to be left open after the workday is completed.

8. Cables shall not be installed in existing signaling raceways unless investigated and found with the same noise susceptibility level as recommended by IEEE Standard 518-1982, have spare capacity, and are approved by the Engineer.

9. The Engineer shall specify a Data/Outlet- D2 Station at each Chiller and HVAC equipment

locations that will be controlled from the Central Automation Monitoring System.

10. The Engineer shall specify a Data/Outlet- D2 Station at each Fire Alarm equipment locations that will be controlled from the Central Automation Monitoring System.

11. The Engineer shall specify a Data/Outlet- D2 Station at each Area of Rescue equipment

locations that will be controlled from the Central Automation Monitoring System.
