The objective the this portion of the project is to install additional Category 6 cabling throughout the building with compliant category 6 accessories used. All old CAT5 cabling in classrooms will be kept in place and reused in addition to new cabling. Two drops per classroom will be added. Office network drops may either be replaced or supplemented at the District’s discretion. There are currently 34 Wireless Access Points that may need new cable runs at the District’s discretion. The district was originally wired with Category 5 (not Cat5e) ethernet cable in 1995. Two network drops per

classroom were ran but only a single drop was patched into a switch. Offices have one drop installed. Over time the classroom secondary drops have been used in many rooms often times reallocated for Access Points above hallway ceilings. MDF/IDFs have basic aluminum two post racks with threaded round holes and minimal cable management system. Current racks and placement will be reused for the project but sufficient cable management after new switches are installed is required as part of the structured cabling project. The scope of cable management includes removing all patch cables and replacing with correct length, termination and secured Category 6 patch cables. Any drops not terminated into patch panels must be properly routed, secured, terminated and labeled on patch panels. Accessories including but not limited to patch panels, patch cables, hooks, hangers, trays, raceway, RJ45 connectors, jacks, keystone jacks, wall plates/boxes, conduit, and cable ties must be included. Classrooms have spare keystone placeholders for additional jacks. All terminated jacks and wires must be labeled appropriately for room number, termination MDF/IDF and category specification. All new cabling must be installed according to current industry standards. Vendor shall test each new drop to insure that they meet industry standards for network data transfer and provide the District with the results of those tests. Statistics: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
