Technology Upgrade Testing 28 7700-3
1224_01
a. Actual measured and maximum allowable attenuation (loss) at the specified
wavelengths per Part 2, Section 3 and the margin. An individual test that fails
the link criteria shall be marked as FAIL.
b. Reference method.
c. Number of mated connectors and number of splices (if any).
d. Actual length and maximum allowable length per Part 2, Section 3. Any
individual test that fails the link length criteria shall be marked as FAIL.
e. Group refractive index (GRI) for the type of fiber tested, if length was optically
measured.
f. Tester manufacturer, model, serial number, and software version.
g. Circuit ID number and project/job name.
h. Link criteria (autotest) used.
i. Overall pass/fail indication.
j. Date and time of test.
6. Contractor shall test all user fiber cables to the following limits:
a. Link attenuation shall be tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-526-14A.
Reference measurements shall be made in accordance with Method B or
equivalent
b. Multimode loss shall be no more than .6dB per mated connector and shall be
no more than 3dB/km at 850nm and 1dB/km at 1300 nm.
c. Singlemode loss shall be no more than .6dB per mated connector and shall be
no more than .5dB/km at 1310 nm and .4dB at 1550 nm.
d. If the measured loss is above the limits, the Contractor shall take action to fix
the cables and get the tests to be below the loss limits.
7. Contractor is responsible for ensuring that all cables pass the tests. Any cable found
not to pass shall be removed and replaced at the Contractor’s expense.
8. Testing shall be of the optical link. An optical fiber link is defined as the passive
cabling network between 2 optical cross connects (patch panels or outlets). This
includes cable, connectors, and splices but does not include active components. The
link test contains the representative connector loss at the patch panel associated with
the mating of patch cords but does not include the performance of the connector at
the equipment interface.
C. Multipair cables shall be tested for continuity, miswires, shorts, opens reversals, and split
pairs.
1. Provide the test results in the multiple pair cable Test Sheet
3.04 SECURITY SYSTEM COMMISSIONING
A. After all Work is completed, and prior to requesting the Acceptance test, Contractor shall
conduct a final inspection, and pre-test all equipment and system features. Contractor shall
correct any deficiencies discovered as the result of the inspection and pre-test.
B. Contractor shall submit a request for the Acceptance test in writing to the owner no less than
fourteen days prior to the requested test date. The request for Acceptance test shall be
accompanied by a certification from Contractor that all Work is complete and has been pre-
tested, and that all corrections have been made.
C. During Acceptance test, Contractor shall demonstrate all equipment and system features to
the owner. Contractor shall remove covers, open wiring connections, operate equipment,
and perform other reasonable work as requested by the owner.
D. If the contractor has submitted all necessary paperwork and the system seems to be in
working order according to the engineer then the system can be considered Substantially
Complete after the engineer puts that in writing.
E. Security System Substantial Completion.
1. The access control system shall be considered substantially complete as soon as:
a. All doors are connected, configured in the system and are working as
required.
b. All security devices are connected and have been tested and shown to be fully
functional. All cables are labeled at each end.
