IT Telecommunications Cabling System 1) IT/Telecommunications Cabling System, IMDS 2010 -L, defines the design. 2) Above all, cable installation and management standards and practices must be strictly adhered to in all building environments. A conservative approach should be taken to all specifications. Refer to 2001 General IT requirements for Design and Installation requirements. 3) Environmental considerations: Special consideration must be given to communications equipment that can be either a source of or subject to the effects of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). While UTP is a cost effective data communications medium, this cable is not immune from electromagnetic disturbances. 4) Other Company A References: a. 27_05_00_00(16126) – Common Work Results for Communications b. 27_05_28_36(16136) – Cable Trays for Communications Systems c. 27_05_43_37(16137) - Communications Handholes and Manholes d. 27_11_16_00(16138) - Communications Cabinets, Racks, Frames and Enclosures e. 27_13_02_00(16702) – Campus Distribution Subsystem f. 27_13_03_00(16703) – Vertical Distribution Subsystem g. 27_15_00_00(16704) - Communications Horizontal Cabling h. 27_16_19_00(16156) - Communications Patch Cords, Station Cords and Cross Connect Wires Page 20 of 24 Office Design Criteria E.
