Electrical conductors installed under this contract, except where otherwise specified, will be soft drawn
annealed stranded copper having a conductivity of not less than 98% of pure copper.
Video Connectors: All primary video equipment will use crimp-on style BNC connectors. If consumer grade
equipment is furnished with RCA connectors, the cable will be terminated in a crimp-on style RCA
connector. It will not be acceptable to use BNC to RCA adapters for consumer grade connections.
Audio Connectors: Employ XLR connectors wherever possible. Wire nut "Scotchlock" connectors are not
acceptable. Do not wire any cables with a polarity reversal between connectors, end of end.
Connectors: All cable-mounted connectors will be covered by a connector hood or will have crimp ferrules,
which securely grasp the cable outer jacket. All connectors will have incorporated a mechanical means of
attaching the connector to its mate. Only connectors with tarnish resistant contact surfaces will be used.
The Contractor will verify all connector details required for installation of equipment, including: make, model,
connector sex, attachment configuration, pin-outs, and cable clamp accessories.
