Introduction
Telecommunication is now an integral part of social, economic and political issues of the world. Networks of the future will be digital and intelligent and will offer high transmission capacity and flexible bandwidth; in addition, they will be easily accessed and connected while its services will be personal and tailored to individual needs. These will allow us to interact in ways previously not possible - available at any time and any place. In addition to providing entertainment and business services, networks of the future will provide education, health and other public services. Major advances in communications technology have substantially widened the range of services carried by the network. Satellites, microwave radio, optical cable links, digital switching and transmission, offer a potential for the improvement of quality and for the extension of access to the most remote areas. The pace of technological change is increasing while the magnitude of demands the future will make on our creativity and capacity to adapt is great. Customers will demand more than just state of-the-art technology; they will want convenience and increased control in their lives that affordable information access can provide. While businesses will look for total telecommunications solutions that will not only enable them to remain productive and compete globally but will also give them a competitive edge. Etisalat can be well-placed to meet these challenges ahead and meet the varied needs of our local and international customers and pave the way for the regions new dynamism in the telecommunications industry well into the 21st century. As technology and mode of transport are changing fast, a broad approach to suit all future type of services will have to be borne in mind, while designing the infrastructures for buildings. A properly designed building with clear Access Path supports the triple play services, viz telephony, data and video services. Also, supports future advanced services, warranting higher speeds and higher bandwidth, planned to be available in near future, for faster provision of services. The present booklet is to provide guidelines for consultants, contractors and the details on the inbuilding facilities required to be considered at the design stage. The details provided are a general insight and the minimum requirements of Etisalat for the new buildings, primarily to develop and deploy FTTH (Fibre to the Home), based on GPON technology.

General telecom requirements

The FTTH requirements in new buildings, established in this Design Guide, represent only Etisalats technical requirements for connection/access to Etisalats Network. These technical specification should not be assumed to establish requirements for other telecommunications operators networks as well. To provide telecom services, the internal concealed pipe and other associated requirements vary for the different building types. The various types of buildings are grouped as commercial buildings, residential towers, ware houses, medium high-rise buildings, shopping complexes, retail houses, row houses, independent villas, campus villas, labour camps, mosques, petrol pumps, etc. The building owners, builders, property developers, consultants and contractors are advised to provide the various inbuilding requirements, as applicable, to ensure timely provision of services.

Structured Cabling System (SCS)

To deliver the services from the ONU, an SCS System on star topology is required. The minimum requirement is EIA/TIA standard CAT 6 cable with RJ45 connectivity. An SCS design being project specific, a discussion with complete details is recommended with system designers and Etisalat. However, the following are the general minimum requirements of structured cabling systems for provision of service.

Cabling & termination

Telecommunication cabling
The cables used for these wiring must comply with minimum CAT 6 standards. The planned SCS cable should meet the designed service requirements within the particular flat level and should have built-in flexibility, to meet growing needs of the tenants. All SCS cables are to be properly labeled and terminated, in the RJ45 sockets and in patch panel or in CAT 6 compliant Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) modules by the owners/building contractor. Building owner is responsible for replacement of in-building cables and other fixtures, if these become faulty. Cable diagrams must be submitted to Etisalat for approval at the design stage and as-built is required on completion. Cables and other accessories required for block wiring may be purchased from any reputable source provided that the material meets standards. The name and contact telephone numbers of the SCS installer should be labeled at appropriate location. Completed SCS should be subject to acceptance by Etisalat. However, the design and performance of the SCS system should be the responsibility of the installer/owner. Any upgrading required in the inbuilding facility, telecommunication cables, due to either enhanced demand, change in building status or damage should be provided by building owner. The supply and termination of UTP cables on patch panel or IDC modules and sockets locations should be the responsibility of the installers/owners.

Telecommunication socket
All outlets should be Category 6 performance, outlets mounted in shutters, typically in dual, triple or quad formation in a single or double gang white faceplate. All RJ45 outlets should be fitted with spring loaded sliding shutters to prevent the ingress of dirt and dust. Provision for at least one dual socket for telecommunication services should be made in every room including kitchen. Conduit with not less than 25mm should be connected between the socket locations and indoor
15

equipment cabinet. Every socket must be connected with a minimum of four pair SCS CAT 6 cable, following star topology. In case of hotel buildings, the provision of telecommunication socket should also be extended to the bathrooms. Telecommunication sockets, cables and associated facilities within the various rooms and premises are to be provided by the building owner.

Accessories
All accessory plates should be dual or quad white PVC plated. The use of any special faceplate, which may be specific to any other manufacturers product range, such as brass finish, etc. should be reviewed. The choice of outlets distribution, location and type, either it is single, dual, or quad, the optimum requirements in each area, ultimate number of outlets in every locations, flexibility and maximum usage, should be the responsibility of consultants.

Horizontal subsystem (UTP Cables)

All horizontal cables should be based on EIA/TIA Category 6 performance compliant. All conductors in each cable should be connected to a single RJ45 socket at the work area outlets and patch panel. Each cable should be terminated to maintain the twists in each pair within 5mm of the termination. Proper strain relief should be provided for the cable at the outlets and patch panel, avoiding strain on the conductors. Colour coding for the termination should conform with EIA/TIA 568B standard and as per the following table. Pair 1 2 3 4 Tip White White White White Ring Blue Orange Green Brown

16

Horizontal cabling
The physical topology of the horizontal cabling should be configured as a star with each outlet connected directly to a flat/apartment distribution box inside the flat or apartment. No looping of cables from outlet to outlet is permitted The horizontal cabling is to be provided to single, dual, triple and quad outlets throughout The length of cable between the farthest telecommunications outlet and the indoor equipment cabinet should not exceed 90m (295ft.). Etisalat must be notified in case the cable will exceed allowable length for further advice A minimum of two telecommunications outlets should be provided for each individual work area. The outlets may be located with one or more faceplates in the work area.

Horizontal pathways
Horizontal pathways (conduits, sleeves, cable trays, etc.) are used for taking the cables from the floor telecommunications room to the telecommunications outlets in the same floor A variety of methods are available and the choice of selection of method should depend on the purpose of the floor area to be served (i.e. general office spaces, apartment dwellings, etc.)

Conduits
The use of conduits as a horizontal raceway system should only be considered when the outlet locations are permanent, the device densities are low and flexibility is not required The minimum size of a conduit pipe used as a horizontal pathway from the distribution box to the telecommunications outlet should be 25mm (1 inch) For the conduits, the inside bending radius should always be at least 10 times the internal diameter Minimum of one nylon draw wire must be installed in a conduit Pull boxes should be located such that they are readily accessible at all times. Pull boxes to be spaced at a maximum of 15m apart to minimize cable stress during installation and to provide serviceability in the future Conduits must be free from sharp edges, to prevent cable damage during and subsequent to pulling Conduits protruding through a floor should be terminated; a minimum of 50mm from the floor to prevent water or other liquids from flowing into the conduits

17

Conduit cable capacities

Spare conduit capacity is important for the removal and replacement of cables if became faulty. The maximum number of UTP cables inside a conduit recommended for the installation of a Structured Cabling System is shown below. However, the number of cables may be adjusted if cable pulling difficulties may be encountered Conduit trade size Conduit Internal diameter (mm) 1 1 1 2 25.40 34.04 39.88 51.31 No. of CAT6 Cables 7 13 18 30

Tray and trunking cable capacities

When the internal cable trays, risers and ladders, etc. are designed, supplied and installed by others, the maximum number of UTP cables, recommended to be installed on a tray as shown; however this need to be reduced in the case of bends and crossovers. The formula applied is that for every 25mm x 25mm cross-section, 8 cables can be accommodated. No trunking or cable tray should be more than 75% full on installation. Cable Tray Size (mm) 50x50 75x50 100x50 150x50 200x50 300x50 450x50 900x50 Trunking Size (mm) 50x50 50x75 50x100 75x75 75x100 100x100 150x150 No. of CAT6 Cables 30 45 60 67 90 120 180 270 540

Where an FO cable block wiring is considered, a very careful consideration must be taken, while designing the system. The owner should be responsible for the design, supply and maintenance of all related items.

18

Patching
The design of patch frame layouts is critical to create a high level of manageability within a compact cabinet, while maintaining effective operations when used by the customer. We recommend all horizontal UTP cabling should be terminated in a 12 or 24 port patch panel, placed inside indoor equipment cabinet. Alternatively, CAT6 compliant IDC modules can also be used. Voice services can be fed from the services patch panel directly to the user outlet using standard 1 pair patch cords.

Labeling Label elements

All fibre optic and SCS infrastructure including floor outlets, patch frames and horizontal cables should be labeled. A typewritten standard labeling system is recommended. The labeling scheme shall be agreed on with the clients telecom team. Labeling guide for fiber optic infrastructure is provided in Annexure 7.

Horizontal cable labels

Label all horizontal cables at both ends using a self- laminating, wrap around label.

User outlet labels

Each RJ45 user outlet should be labeled with a unique identifier, typically using the agreed scheme.

Under-floor systems
For general office spaces, an under-floor raceway system should be used for maximum flexibility In multi-channel layouts, separate raceways must be used for telecommunications and electrical power to reduce electromagnetic interference. The dividers for separation of compartments in the raceway should be bonded to ground Main elements of under-floor raceway systems

Main elements of under-floor raceway systems

Distribution raceway Distribution raceway provides a pathway for the cables from the feeder raceway to the work areas. The minimum size of the distribution raceway should be 30mm (H) X 60mm (W) of cross-sectional area. The same size must be used for every (multi-channel) layout

19

Feeder raceway
Feeder raceway provides a pathway for the cables from the distribution box in the floor telecommunications room to the distribution raceways. The minimum size of the feeder raceway should be 40mm (H) X 200mm (W) of cross-sectional area. The same size must be used for every (multi-channel) layout The feeder raceways starting point in the floor telecommunications room must be adjacent to the distribution box. The Feeder raceway should end at the last distribution raceway it is serving.

Access unit
The access unit provides access at the point of intersection of the feeder and the distribution raceways

Cable trays
Cable trays are mostly used for floors with raised tiles or floorings As a general guideline, cable trays that intersect must be provided with a transitional bend radius of 150mm in all directions. Exposed sheet metal edges must be provided with bushings or other means of protection such that cables will not be damaged during or after installation. Since cable trays are usually metallic, all sharp edges, burrs and screw tips that may come into contact with cabling should be removed. The minimum access space between the sub-floor and the underside of the floor tile should be minimum 150mm (6 in). Etisalat should be consulted in the initial design stage to decide on the requirements if the building is designed for office use.

Protection from electromagnetic interference

The following requirements apply to UTP cabling, as pathways and spaces used to carry or house telecommunications cabling. The proximity of cabling to electrical facilities and equipment that generate high levels of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) should be taken into account for metallic cabling. Sources of EMI include: power cables, photocopy equipment, electric motors, transformers, fluorescent lighting, arc welders and induction heaters, etc.

20

To avoid EMI, the telecommunications pathways, spaces and metallic cables should be installed with the following clearances: 1200mm from large motors or transformers 300mm from conduit and cables used for electrical power distribution 120mm from fluorescent lighting Pathways and metallic cables should cross perpendicular to fluorescent lighting and electrical power cables or conduits.

Separation distance from power source

During the design stages, separation of power and the Structured Cabling Systems (SCS) must be considered. Unshielded data cables should not be installed near sources of electromagnetism.

Typical building environment

Minimum separation distance from power source <480V Condition Unshielded power lines or electrical equipment in proximity to open or non-metal pathways Unshielded power lines or electrical equipment in proximity to a grounded metal conduit pathway Power lines enclosed in a grounded metal conduit (or equivalent shielding) in proximity to grounded metal conduit pathway Electric motors and Transformers Fluorescent lighting <2KVA 130mm 2-5KVA 300mm >5KVA 600mm

Private Branch Exchange (PBX)

In case where communication systems with more than 64 extensions (i.e. PBX system) are required, special facilities need to be provided as follows:

21

Equipment room
A room for exclusive use of Etisalat is needed for the telephone equipment. The room should be accessed by the underground cables, fibre optic cables, patch panel and the distribution to the floor cables. The main telecom room can be considered for PABX installation in case of commercial single owner building.

Room size
For up to 100 extensions, the minimum floor space required is 2m X 3m For up to 400 extensions, the floor space required is 4m X 4m For large systems Etisalat must be consulted at the planning stage The room should have a minimum height of 3m, be air-conditioned, clean, and dry and free from dust

Room general requirements

The room should be far away from high voltage plant. Other services/utility ducts should not run through this room and it should not be directly under a toilet or bathroom, kitchen and electrical rooms The room should provide ready access to Etisalat personnel or Etisalats authorized personnel and equipment but must be secured from unauthorized entry The room must be properly protected from the risk of flooding if provided in the basement In multi-PBX user building, each PBX to have its own room Raised flooring should be provided when required depending on the PBX type For large PBX installations, air-conditioned battery room adjacent to the equipment room will be required. Etisalat will supply details at the design stage. The battery room should be provided with an exhaust fan. Conduit or tray is required between the equipment room and the battery room Direct sunlight should not fall in the PBX room. Curtains/screens are to be provided for the windows if any Power conduit and telecom cable conduit must be separate

Electrical requirements
A minimum of two 13 amp 240 v A/C main outlets (via) UPS system should be provided. The actual mains power requirements will depend on the size and type of the PBX The room should be provided with an earth not more than 5 ohms Anti-static flooring should be provided, including the battery room The rooms must be provided with an emergency light, a smoke detector and a fire alarm PABX can be installed in the main telecom room in the case of a single owner.
