13 | P a g e
Program: Riyadh Township – KADEN Road

10.5.2 Verify that there is Fiber continuity while the cable is on the reel. In order to do so, the cable must be
ordered with access to both ends of the Fiber on the reel
10.5.3 Test the optical Fiber cable for continuity. This can be done by shining a light source (such as a
flashlight) into the Fiber cable or using a power meter and light source or optical time domain
reflecto-meter (OTDR). A Bare-Fiber adapter or mechanical reusable splice is necessary to connect
either the power meter and light source or OTDR to the un-terminated Fiber on the reel.
10.5.4 Install inner-duct for optical Fiber cable
10.5.5 Verify the application (plenum or non-plenum) and place the inner-duct(s), depending on the specific
location with the appropriate support. If secured with tie wraps in a plenum area, use plenum-rated tie
wraps.
10.5.6 Inner-duct can be ordered with or without a pull rope already placed inside. If ordered without a rope,
follow the procedure for installing a pull string in a conduit.
10.5.7 If the requirement is to place inner-ducts within a conduit, determine the size and number of inner-
ducts permitted. Inner-ducts are classified by outside diameter (OD). A total of four 25 mm (1 in)
inner-ducts to be placed inside a 100 mm (4 in) size conduit.
10.5.8 Attach the optical Fiber cable(s) to the pull rope for pulling of the optical Fiber cable through the
inner-duct.
10.5.9 A large cable rodder shall be used to pull the cable in duct bank or conduit. Insert the cable rodder
from one hand hole to the other and it shall be pushed in the opposite direction of the fiber optic cable
to be installed.
10.5.10 Once the cable rodder reaches to the other end, Tie the fiber optic cable to cable rodder securely. A
multi-weave, wire mesh grip of the appropriate size which has a swivel pulling eye shall be used.
10.5.11 In those instances where optical Fiber cable is installed without an inner-duct, care must be taken to
ensure that the run is as straight as possible
10.5.12 Do not exceed the recommended pull tension or the recommended bend radius of the optical Fiber
cable

10.6 Above Ground Installation

10.6.1 Cable Tree for Small Reels:
 Cable trees are used when there are multiple small spools of cable being pulled at the same time
 Select the spools of cable that will be needed for the job. Cable can be of with various put up lengths
and shall be selected based on required lengths
 Select a location near the cable feed point that is large enough for the cable tree
 Mount the spools on the cable tree
 Find the end of each cable reel and bring them together, through the guide hole on the pay-out end
of the cable tree
 Select one of the cables in the group as a guide cable
 Take the next two cables and tape them to the guide cable approximately 76 mm (3 in) behind the
guide cable. Continue attaching cable to the bundle in groups of two until all cables are attached
to the bundle
 Prepare the guide cable for attachment to the pull string
 Even smaller amounts of cable, set up a cable pay-out pack
 Knock a hole in the top of the pack or remove the plastic insert to expose the cable inside.
 The pay-out packs and the reel-in-a-box are convenient and require no rack to hold them. For
pulling multiple strands of cable, the packs can be stacked and numbered sequentially for proper
labelling later
 Find the end of the cable and thread it out through the hole in the top of the pack
 Keep the wire free from any obstruction that would crimp or bend it, causing damage
 Set up pull string or pull rope. If no pull string or pull rope exists, and it is required in the conduit
system, one must be installed

10.6.2 Horizontal Cable Run:

 Determine the distance of the complete cable run.
 Take note of the number and locations of bends and identify where to feed the cable around sharp
bends or turns. Pulley hangers may be used at some points as required.
 Divide the total cable run distance into segments as required
 Identify a pull point, where necessary, for accessing and handling the cable, where possible minimize
the number of pull points
 Estimate length of run by using a measuring wheel

15 | P a g e
Program: Riyadh Township – KADEN Road

 Find the area on the floor that is just below the location in the ceiling where the conduit run is
located
 Distance of the cable run shall take a note where the conduit bends and pull boxes are
 Ensure each cable dispenser has enough cable to reach the full length of the run
 Place an identification label on each cable end
 Label each cable dispenser and cable a few feet back from the cable’s bitter end. Do not put the
label too close to the end or the tape will cover the label
 Determine the length of fish tape required. After estimating the length of the run, add a few feet to
each end to be sure enough fish tape is available
 Feed the fish tape into the end of the nearest conduit
 Do not force the fish tape if the conduit contains existing cables
 If there is a metallic tab on the end of the fish tape, cover it with electrical tape to prevent
snagging other cable already in the conduit
 Never feed a fish tape into a conduit without knowing where it may go. It could accidentally be
fed into a live electrical junction box
 Push the fish tape through the conduit until it comes out the far end of the conduit
 Attach pull string to fish tape
 Go to the far end of the conduit where the end of the fish tape is now located
 The end of the fish tape will have a hook, a ring, or some type of attachment device
 Attach the end of the fish tape to the pull string to be pulled through the conduit securely to
prevent it from coming off during the pulling operation
 If the clip at the end of the tape has been removed, secure the attachment by wrapping a piece of
electrical tape around the pull string and the fish tape
 Pull the fish tape out of the conduit
 Go back to the other end of the conduit
 Slowly rewind the fish tape reel to retrieve the pull string from the far end of the conduit, storing
the fish tape in the holder as it is taken up
 Detach the fish tape from the pull string

16 | P a g e
Program: Riyadh Township – KADEN Road

 If there will be a delay prior to cable-pulling efforts, tie off the pull string at both ends. This will
prevent accidentally pulling the string back into the conduit and the need to re-fish the conduit
 Put the fish tape away
 Feed out a few meters (feet) of cable to prepare for entering the conduit
 Arrange the cable(s) to form a smooth transition from a single cable to a larger bundle. Tape
cables as necessary to hold them in place while the pull string
 Attach the pull string using a rolling hitch (three half hitches and a clove hitch). Each half-hitch
will bite into the cables and prevent them from slipping. The clove hitch is of little importance as
long as a tight knot is placed around the cables after each half-hitch. Place electrical tape over the
knots to prevent them from slipping or becoming caught during the pull.
 As the cable is being pulled through the conduit, keep slack available at the entrance so the cable
can flow freely into the conduit
 Guard against developing excessive bends or kinks as cable is led to the conduit
 Some conduits may require the use of pulling lubricant to prevent excessive pulling tension on the
cables
10.6.3 Vertical Backbone Cable Installation:
 Examine the vertical backbone pathway for the installation and check for a clear pathway
 Feed the cable off the reel and onto the pulleys mounted above the route to the pathway so as to
support the cable to the point of entry into the vertical pathway
 Watch and observe the functions of any pulley in use
 Maintain control of all pull strings or guide ropes in use
 Stay in position as a communicator with co-workers until the pull or drop is finished
 Be prepared to temporarily take up the cable should a problem develop in the placing operation
and prior to permanently securing the cable on each floor
 All cables must be secured at each floor level. Cables that are extremely heavy may fall if they are
not properly installed. Free hanging cables create a serious hazard
 Make a sweep of the cable toward the termination point
 Secure the cable in D-rings, with cable ties, straps, split, wire mesh grips, or clamps and place in
provided cable trays

17 | P a g e
Program: Riyadh Township – KADEN Road

 Mount the cable to the wall using D-rings, cable clamps, or special purpose cable ties, for cables
of 25-pair or less
 Identify cable.
 Place a unique identification number (from the installation drawings) at each end of the cable
showing the point of origin and destination. Also, place a label on the cable where it enters or
leaves closets on each floor
10.7 Termination Procedures:
10.7.1 Insulation Displacement Connection Termination:
 Sheath removal can be performed in three following ways:

a) Ringing tool
 The ringing tool contains a razor blade which is set to a depth that allows the sheath to be slit deep
enough to separate the sheath but not nick the inner pairs. To properly use this tool to the greatest
surety, insert approximately 13 mm to 19 mm (0.5 in to 0.75 in) of the cable into the tool. Turn
the tool and then remove the severed sheath with electrician snips.
b) Electrician snips
 Using the electrician snips carefully cut into the sheathing to a depth that exposes the rip-cord.
 Using the rip-cord, pull down the sheathing until the proper length of sheath is ready to be
removed. Then remove the severed sheath with the electrician snips.

c) Slitter Tool
 The slitter tool is carefully inserted between the cable sheath and the pairs. Slide the tool carefully
down the sheathing until the proper amount of sheathing has been prepared for removal. Remove
the severed sheath using the electrician snips
 Using a proper sheath removal tool, remove the cable sheath in accordance standards and the
termination equipment manufacturer’s specifications

 Remove only as much of the sheath as is necessary to terminate the cable pairs and ensure that the
twist of the pairs is maintained
 Sheath should be removed from the cable requirement can vary depending on the block, type, and
size of the cable and type of IDC termination hardware manufacturer
 Tie off binder groups to keep them identified until ready to terminate

18 | P a g e
Program: Riyadh Township – KADEN Road

 Wire pairs should be parallel with no tension at the point of connection, and equal tension on all
connections
10.7.2 110-Style Hardware termination:

 The 110-style IDC termination hardware is used in both voice and data cabling applications.
Backbone cabling is commonly terminated on wall- or rack mounted 110 termination blocks in
increments of 50, 100, or 300 pairs as well as on a 900-pair wall mount
 The majority of patch panels are wired in specific configurations) and are mainly constructed with
110-style connectors. In addition, work area outlet terminations are manufactured with 110-style
hardware
 Cables are routed through the middle pathway of the 110 wiring block from either the top or
bottom, and fanned into the wire way from alternate sides. The block wire way is designed such
that one row is terminated on the wiring block by punching down from the bottom up. The next
row is terminated from the top down. For the specific location of each termination refer to the
telecommunications designer’s layout
 It should be noted that the 110-style wiring block contains no IDC. The IDC for this type of
termination application is in the C-3 (3-pair), C-4 (4-pair), and C-5 (5-pair) connector block that is
punched down on top of the 110-wiring block to permit cross connection
 The connecting block pair count is determined by the application (i.e., 4-pair horizontal cabling is
terminated on a C-4 (4-pair) connecting block; trunk cables in 25-pair increments are terminated
on 5-pair connecting blocks)
 The designation strips are then placed in the holder which covers the terminated cables
10.7.3 Patch Panel Termination:
 Data and voice patch panels are available from various manufacturers and in many different styles
and wiring configurations
 Patch panels are available which feature 110, BIX, and LSA connections. Common configurations
are 24-, 48-, and 96-port
 To properly terminate a 4-pair horizontal cable onto a patch panel, keep sheath removal to the
minimum amount required. Category 5 cable pairs must remain twisted to within 13 mm (0.5 in)

19 | P a g e
Program: Riyadh Township – KADEN Road

of the point of termination

 Strain relief of the cables is accomplished by the use of tie wraps or hooks and loop straps
installed on a cable management bar which is installed at the rear of the patch panel
 Care should be taken prior to actual termination to verify that the work area outlet wiring scheme
(T568A or T568B) matches the patch panel wiring configuration (T568A or T568B), to ensure
proper functioning. Identify patch panel termination locations in the space allocated on the patch
panel. The manner of labelling patch panels will be provided by the telecommunications designer
10.7.4 Stripping of Fiber Cable:
 Mark the cable jacket where the jacket is to be removed by notching it with your cable knife
 Most cable jackets can be removed with a standard cable jacket removal tool
 Either remove the length of cable jacket in short sections of jacket at a time, using a series of
ring cuts, or make longer sections which will typically require splitting the cable jacket
lengthwise. Only cut the outside jacket. A cable knife or hook-type blade can be used for this
operation
 Cut the strength members to the correct length for securing to the splice hardware, using high
quality snips
 The armed yarn shall be secured in the splice hardware before continuing to strip the cable
 Remove a required length of subunit (multi-Fiber units for high Fiber count indoor cables)
jacket. For multi-Fiber units, the thin jacket is removed by either using the coax ring cutter or
by using a cable knife
 Secure the subunit to the splice tray and dress the Fibers into the tray. The subunit should be
secured to the splice tray per the manufacturer’s instruction. Commonly used methods are
either small cable ties or a metal tab in the splice tray. Ensure the subunit is not deformed or
crushed.
 The cabling designer’s splice plan must be fully understood and followed, (i.e., which Fibers
from which able are to be spliced together). The proper subunits must be routed to the correct
corresponding trays
 Continue securing the subunits to the splice trays and dressing the Fibers in the tray, until the
entire cable is stripped and loaded into the splice trays

10.8 Single-Fiber Automatic Fusion Splicers:

 Fusion Splicers shall be used for this purpose. Manufacturered for this purpshall be perfectly
understood prior to beginning the splicing
 Splicers have some degree of automation, this section on Single-Fiber automatic fusion
Splicers is dedicated to Splicers which automatically position the Fibers in the X-Y-Z axis and
also provide automatic splice loss measurements
 There are basically two distinct types of automatic fusion Splicers: the local injection detection
(LID) method and the profile alignment system (PAS) method
 Open the fusion splicer and connect it to an approved power source
 Some Splicers are equipped with either an internal or external battery supply normally capable
of eight hours of operation
 Turn on the fusion splicer per the manufacturer’s instructions. Most units will go through some
sort of internal diagnostics. Depending on the machine and the power supply, some machines
have an automatic cut-off function to conserve battery power
 Most machines will have some sort of parameter-setting capability
 Choose whether the splicer is to be set up for multimode or single mode operation. While a
number of parameters are available for changing, it is suggested that the cabling installer
initially try splicing with the manufacturer’s default settings
 Select fully automatic, semi-automatic, or manual operation. It is suggested that fully automatic
should be used unless some special circumstance exists
 Ensure that the proper V-groove is used, based on the type Fibers being spliced
 Wipe the filling compound from the Fibers with a lint-free tissue soaked in isopropyl alcohol
(99 percent pure)
 If using heat-shrink tubing for mechanical protection of the completed splice, slide the tubing
over one of the two Fibers to be spliced
 Strip the coating or buffer from the Fiber to the required length, using the cable manufacturer’s
recommended Fiber stripper. For 250 μm coated Fibers, the most commonly used tool is the
Miller tool. For 900 μm buffered Fiber either the Miller tool or a No-Nik® tool may be

21 | P a g e
Program: Riyadh Township – KADEN Road

required. The proper strip length is determined by the fusion splicer and the cleaver being used;
however, 25 to 50 mm (1 to 2 in) is typically all that is necessary
 Gently wipe the Fiber with a lint-free tissue soaked in isopropyl alcohol (99 percent pure). This
removes any fragments of dirt remaining on the Fiber. This is an important step because the
Fibers are aligned within the V-grooves of the fusion splicer in relation to the outside
dimension of the stripped Fiber
 Cleave the Fiber to the prescribed length for the splice, using the cleaving tool. A number of
different cleaving tools could be used for this operation. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. It is important that tools remain clean and in proper working order. Observe the
manufacturer’s length recommendations closely, because this ensures that the Fibers have
enough travel in the fusion splicer to select the proper Z-gap and to butt against each other
during splicing
 Discard the broken Fiber stub properly
 Open the flaps over the electrode and the Fiber-holding V-grooves
 Grasp the Fiber by the coating next to the bare Fiber; place the Fiber into the fusion splicer.
Some units may mark the V-grooves where the end of the coating or buffer should be placed.
Typically, the end of the Fiber is placed so that it stops between, but not past, the upper and
bottom electrodes
 Close the Fiber holding V-groove flap but not the electrode flap
11. INSPECTION AND TEST PROCED
11.1 Inspection Procedure:
 The material received at site shall be inspected by the consultant prior to commencement of work and
the same should be recorded in MIR.
 Once the cables and wires are installed, it shall be ensured that they are in compliance with the
approved material, approved Method Statement and it complies with all the Specifications Section
21 10 00, 21 20 00, 21 30 00 & 21 28 25
 The Cabinet shall be installed and grounded on firm surface
 The racks installed in cabinets shall be mounted firmly and shall not move

22 | P a g e
Program: Riyadh Township – KADEN Road

 Enough access shall be provided to cabinet on front and rear side as required
 The ventilation and humidity of Communication Room shall be as per the manufacturer
recommendation
 Labelling shall be provided for the racks as required
 The Tagging shall be done to each equipment as required
 The Cameras are installed at appropriate height as required and are fixed firmly
 There are no loose connections to any equipment
 The required programming has been done to all the equipment’s
 Are all the RJ 45 and Patch Panels are connected correctly
11.2 Test Procedure:
11.2.1 Induction Amplifier/ Tone Generator:
Also known as a toner or cable tracer, this field test equipment provides the ability to identify a specific
pair by generating a tone on one end of the pair, with an inductive amplifier identifying it at the opposite
end. Some induction amplifiers also provide the ability to trace the pair throughout its entire length by this
same method. This field test equipment is primarily used for cable identification and troubleshooting. Most
units are now a combination of tone generator and continuity tester, commonly known as a wand and toner
set
11.2.2 Wire Map Testers:
Wire map testers, also known as pair scanners, are low-cost cable testers that usually test for opens, shorts,
crossed pairs, and miss wires in either a 4-pair or 25-pair cable. Some testers in this category will also test
for split pairs. These units are good for quick, basic tests, but lack the sophisticated diagnostic capabilities
of more expensive testers.
11.2.3 Cable End Locator Kit:
This is a set of numbered 8-pin modular plugs which can be identified by the cable test equipment. The
standard practice is to insert the plugs into outlets in the work area, then search with the tester until it finds
the plug at the opposite end of the cable

23 | P a g e
Program: Riyadh Township – KADEN Road

11.2.4 Field Test:

 Field testers are used to verify that a cabling system meets the transmission performance requirements
as specified in TIA/EIA TSB-67. All of these units will test a cabling system up to at least 100 MHz,
and in the auto test mode, include length, attenuation, wire map, and near-end crosstalk (NEXT) tests.
 When the field tester is operated in auto test mode, it compares the actual measured values with required
values for Category 3, 4, or 5, and displays pass or fail for the entire battery of tests. The tester will also
display pass or fail and the actual tested values for each parameter. These testers are capable of other
measurements, including impedance, capacitance, resistance, delay, delay skew, equal level far -end
crosstalk (ELFEXT ), and attenuation-to-crosstalk ratio (ACR) calculations. In addition to the TIA/EIA
TSB-67 standard, they also include the classes of ISO/IEC and the pass/fail criteria in their database. Each
certification field tester is configured to test continuity and length of cable. Several have the ability, with
an add-on module, to perform the power meter test for attenuation of optical cable Fiber. Certification
testers can store test data and export it to a database or output it to a printer
11.2.5 Fiber Optic Cable:
 A preliminary test shall be conducted after completion of installation for end to end conductivity
test
 Each link shall be tested for zero transmission error performance at highest bit rate expected to be
carried out over the cable section using a transmission analyzer and as recommended by
Manufacturer
12. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS & HOT WORKS:
