FOREWORD
(This foreword is not part of this Standard)
Approval of Standard
These Standards were approved by the JPMorgan Chase & Co. Global WTS (Workplace Technology
Services) Cable Design and Engineering and the Remote Site Operations (RSO) teams. The teams
review and update these Standards on an as-needed basis in order to create a consistent technology
framework in JPMC properties. Suggested updates to be considered for the next revision should be sent
to any member of the WTS Cable Design and Engineering and/or the Remote Site Operations team.
Background
The Global WTS organization is comprised of many groups that encompass the JPMC technology
delivery from a Design / Build / Operate perspective. The varied perspectives provide enrichment to this
Standard. The Design group focuses on the engineering and design of structured cabling and support
infrastructure for all of our Technology Spaces (e.g., Main Equipment Rooms, Telecommunications
Rooms, Co-Lo facilities, etc.). The Build group provides the Project Management services for our Global
Technology Infrastructure (GTI) Global Real Estate (GRE) and various Line of Business (LOB) projects.
The Operate group provides the day-to-day control and operations for all Technology Spaces.
This document must be used as the Standard for; designing the structured cabling infrastructure, and
planning Critical Technology Spaces (CTS). Its purpose is to define the Standard baseline design and
utilization criteria for; structured cabling infrastructure designs, and three types of Critical Technology
Spaces (CTS) in order to make them easier to specify, utilize, and manage. To promote wide
understanding it is built upon a foundation of recognized industry Standards and best practices. This
document is not intended to replace the specific needs of those planning equipment for CTS areas or
design coordination. It shall be used in conjunction with those needs and proper design coordination.
If an element of this Standard cannot be met during the design and planning phases; the group
accountable to meet the requirement shall submit a request for exception approval prior to proceeding
with a deviation from this Standard. The request must be submitted via EURC (the End User Request
Center is an internal JPMC application) using the service titled 'Exception Approval - GTI-WTS Global
Standard for Critical Technology Space Builds'. The EURC request will be routed to the exception
approvers who will review the request, approve or deny, and document any exceptions for historical
record of the sites configuration. Due to varying business requirements and Business Continuity Plans
(BCP) affecting uptime needs, LOB's must be consulted for their uptime requirement to determine if the
level of resiliency needed is greater than the base requirement. A need for enhanced resiliency may also
inform other components of the design (i.e. risers, utility feeds, etc.). All appendices are normative and
are considered to be a mandatory part of this Standard.

SECTION 01 00 00 – GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
This document is intended to provide the information necessary to allow the construction team to plan
and implement telecommunications cabling infrastructures and to ensure that all new installations and
renovations are uniform and consistent with company-wide Standards. This document identifies the
telecommunications infrastructure requirements for Corporate MER, TR, and Co-Lo facilities.
It is envisioned that not all buildings will require the complete range of services and telecommunications
infrastructure described in this document. The exact solution that suits each particular building will be
defined at the commencement of each project by the project team.
CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY SPACES
PART 1 – GENERAL
1.1 PURPOSE
A. This Standard for Critical Technology Spaces and Infrastructure Cabling Design document is
intended as a standard. Its purpose is to define the baseline design and utilization criteria for three
types of Critical Technology Spaces (CTS) in order to make them easier to specify, utilize, and
manage, and to state the cabling infrastructure standards associated with these spaces. To
promote wide understanding it is built upon a foundation of recognized industry standards and best
practices.
This document must be used as a tool to plan Critical Technology Spaces based on WTS
operational standards. This document is not intended to replace the specific needs of those
planning equipment for CTS areas or associated design coordination. It must be used in
conjunction with needs assessment and proper design coordination.
If a standard cannot be met during the planning and design phases, the group accountable to meet
the requirements must submit a request for exception approval prior to proceeding with a deviation
from the standard. The request must be submitted via EURC (the End User Request Center is an
internal JPMC application) using the service titled “Exception Approval – GTI – WTS Global
Standard for Critical Technology Space Builds” (See Appendix K). The EURC request will be routed
to the exception approvers who will review the request, approve or deny, and document any
exceptions for historical record of the site’s configuration.
Due to varying business requirements and Business Continuity Plans (BCP) affecting uptime
needs, Lines of Business (LOB) must be consulted for their uptime requirement to determine if
the level of resiliency needed is greater than the base requirement. A need for enhanced
resiliency may also inform other components of power and cooling systems (i.e. risers, utility
feeds, etc.).
The three types of critical technology spaces, Main Equipment Room, Telecommunications Room, and Co-
location Space are defined below. Note that while the Main Equipment Room and Co-location Space are
not data centers, they may exhibit some characteristics of a data center, either through defined functional
requirements or through requirements set forth in this document.

SECTION 01 00 00 – CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY SPACES
MER provides access to internal and external services and applications via WAN and PSTN.
Associated functions within the MER include:
• Aggregation point for backbone cabling to TRs
• Network Core access and connectivity to Data Centers
• Telecommunications equipment location for WAN vendors
• Local building/campus PBX, in-building cellular, Wi-Fi, etc.
• Limited amount of server/computing equipment – only equipment with technical adjacency
requirements. Limited amount of server/computing equipment – only equipment with
technical adjacency requirements that have an approved RSO location waiver via the
Prime process.
• Vendor equipment specific to that floor, building or campus (e.g. analog/digital video
recording, etc.).
• Horizontal cable distribution from access switches to user locations when the MER is in
proximity to user space.
• Pre-connectorized cables
• Patch panels
• Racks
• Cabinets

F. Authority Having Jurisdiction (“AHJ”) is as defined by Article 100 of the National Electrical Code
(NFPA 70), including the associated Fine Print (Informational) Note.
H. Access Provider is an entity, such as a Carrier, that provides physical connectivity into a building
for the delivery of ICT services. The services may be offered by an Access Provider itself or by
third parties using an Access Provider’s facilities.
A. All aspects of construction and installation must meet applicable local, state, and federal laws, as
well as any regulations specific to a site. Legally binding requirements must prevail if there are any
conflicts with requirements stated or implied in this document. The AHJ will be the arbiter in
situations where interpretation is necessary to clarify information, or to resolve conflicts involving
legally binding requirements.
B. Work safety must be in compliance with Public Law 91-596, Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA). As applicable, requirements of the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code must be followed.

listed in SECTION 01 00 00, but they are not exhaustive. Even when not explicitly cited within this
document, there is an implied requirement of compliance with industry norms reflected in
recognized standards and practices, as well as requirements based in law.
D. Codes, regulations, standards, and industry practices documents change over time. Current
governing Codes and regulations at a site location, and the most recent edition of standards and
practices documents (including errata, annexes, and amendments) must be used at the time
facilities are designed and when they are utilized.
E. Although a number of standards and practices are cited in this document, ANSI/TIA-569
“Commercial Building Standard for Telecommunications Pathways” has both explicit and implicit
threads throughout.
F. Additionally influencing this standard are accepted industry practices documents such as those in
the NECA/BICSI-568 “Standard for Installing Commercial Building Communications Cabling”, and
the BICSI “Telecommunications Distribution Methods Manual (TDMM)”.

logging method is not required.
3.3 ELECTRICAL
A. ELECTRICAL POWER
1. UTILITY FEED
Applicability: See below
a) For MER and Co-location: These spaces require N+1 utility feeds, where N denotes the
number of feeds needed to satisfy the base requirements. Feeds must have diverse
routing into the facility.
b) For TR: Only a single utility feed is required.
2. GENERATOR
Applicability: See below
a) For MER and Co-location: The spaces which have been determined to need generators
will require generator backup in the event of utility feed failure. Only “N” generators are
required, where “N” denotes the minimum number needed to meet the base requirement.
Generators must activate automatically in response to a power failure, and the startup
delay must be well within the hold time of shorter duration uninterruptible power sources
(UPS) that respond to the initial failure.
b) For TR: UPS, generation, static transfer switches (STS), etc. should be provisioned when
required by the specific LOB’s resiliency, redundancy, and disaster recovery plans
(recommended groups typically requiring UPS, generation, and STS’s are trading floors,
call centers, and any other groups deemed critical requiring this additional resiliency).
15
SECTION 01 00 00 – CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY SPACES
iii. The power capacity of the uninterruptible power supply system must be sized to handle

uninterruptible backup power in the same manner as required for MER and Co-location
spaces. UPS, generation, static transfer switches (STS), etc. should be provisioned when
required by the specific LOB’s resiliency, redundancy, and disaster recovery plans
(recommended groups typically requiring UPS, generation, and STS’s are trading floors,
call centers, and any other groups deemed critical requiring this additional resiliency).

protected with Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) devices. These must be effective
at the breaker panel level (branch circuit distribution), but should also be present at each level
of electrical distribution.

b) Branch circuit distribution must be redundant:
i. For MER and Co-location: Circuits must be redundant and diversely fed.
ii. For TR: The lowest acceptable level of redundancy is two separately wired circuits
derived from a common breaker panel (panel board). However, advantage must be
16

taken of whatever redundancy in the electrical system is available at a site beyond the
minimum required, and what is practical to upgrade at a site to provide greater
redundancy and diversity.
c) Isolated (Insulated) Ground (IG) electrical circuits and receptacles (IGR) must not be
specified unless required by a manufacturer for a specific piece of equipment or system.

SUBCONTRACTORS
JPMC infrastructure projects as defined by this Standard shall only be implemented by contractors on the
Preferred Cabling Contractor Master List. The installation contractors on this list shall not subcontract
work to others without prior written OPR approval. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in
removal from consideration for future JPMC projects. Contractor shall evaluate staffing requirements for
contemplated JPMC projects, and submit request for said OPR approval at the time that they tender their
initial proposal.
LEGACY INFRASTRUCTURES
In cases where the cabling infrastructure is being installed in a building not currently occupied by JPMC,
or where the new infrastructure is part of a strategic refresh of the entire existing (Legacy) infrastructure,
31
SECTION 01 00 00 – CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY SPACES
the infrastructure design and installation (including architecture and hardware components) shall follow
the current prevailing version of this Standard. In cases where the new infrastructure is being installed in
a building currently occupied by JPMC, and is not part of a strategic refresh of the entire existing (Legacy)
infrastructure, Contractor shall furnish to OPR a detailed written report describing deviations from the
prevailing Standard, and OPR will furnish direction regarding which elements of the project shall follow
the Legacy Standard, and which elements of the project shall follow the prevailing Standard. In no case
shall JPMC Standard architectures be waived.
In cases where JPMC is acquiring new space that has existing infrastructure, JPMC may consider the
retention of the existing infrastructure (not dependent on manufacturer). The determination of whether or
not JPMC retains the existing infrastructure or not will be based on sample testing, warranty transfer, etc.,
and may result in full testing and re-labeling. A new wireless heat map will be done which may require
some re-cabling to accommodate JPMC’s needs.
CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL
Access to JPMC facilities is controlled, and Contractor personnel must undergo security screening before
facility access may be permitted. Access to our Technology Rooms is provided on an escort basis.
CONTRACTOR COMMUNICATION
While Contractor is expected to communicate with site users to ensure their needs are met, a successful
project outcome is determined in the sole discretion of JPMC technical project personnel. Accordingly,
Contractor shall minimally furnish to OPR and other designated personnel progress reports, including, but
not limited to, installation details on a daily basis or as otherwise approved in writing by OPR. OPR may
further define other reasonable reports and communication deliverables that Contractor shall substantially
provide. Misrepresentation of progress, which might result in project delay, may result in a probation
event.
The Contractor shall immediately advise JPMC of; any changes made to your firm’s escalation points of
contact, associations, organization, or certifications.
CONTRACTOR ADVERTISING
Contractor shall not solicit written or verbal testimonials from JPMC personnel at any time. Contractor
shall not install or post in JPMC properties any form of signage that contains Contractor name, address,
telephone number, or logo. Photographs within JPMC buildings including technology spaces are strictly
prohibited without prior approval of JPMC IT Risk Management and the local JPMC Site Manager. All
requests shall be submitted to the OPR for routing.
CONTRACTOR BADGING
When working in JPMC properties, contractors should wear either badges or clothing that displays their
employer’s name. Where badges are employed, they should be worn in a conspicuous location on the
contractor’s shirt, and on outerwear if it is worn over the shirt.
OMISSIONS
Contractor omission of any requirement described in Project Documents shall not be construed as to
relieve Contractor of any responsibility or obligation required to affect the complete and satisfactory
delivery, operation, and support of any and all materials or services.
32
SECTION 01 00 00 – CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY SPACES
INTERPRETATION
Contractor is solely responsible for developing a structured cabling bill of materials from design
documents provided. In all cases where Contractor identifies unclear or imprecise drawings or
Specifications during the bidding or quotation process, Contractor shall contact OPR, who shall furnish
appropriate interpretation. Upon award, Contractor assumes responsibility for correcting any and all
inconsistencies at no additional cost to Owner.
Where the requirements of certain sections of the Specifications are more stringent than applicable
codes, rules, regulations, and ordinances, the Specifications shall apply.
If the contractor should note items in the drawings or the Specifications, construction of which would
result in code violations, the contractor shall promptly call them to the attention of the OPR in writing.
EQUIVALENTS
It is the sole responsibility of Contractor to ensure that all products installed at this facility are compatible
with the application. Owner makes no representation regarding the accuracy of the part numbers listed.
SUBSTITUTIONS
Materials shall be as listed or shall be equivalent products of other manufacturers meeting the intent and
quality level of this specification. Materials must be compatible with the end-to-end solution being
proposed. Proposals for equivalent products must be presented to the OPR via RFI’s, Submittals, and/or
Shop Drawings. OPR written approval is required before any substitutions are made.

- IEC 754 part 2
- IEC 1034 part 2: smoke emission
- IEC 60332-1: Flammability and fire retardant
- NES 713: Toxicity index.
CABLE PROTECTION
All cabling runs that remain within JPMC areas shall be properly supported in accordance with all JPMC
Standards. All cabling that is run in common building areas and other tenant spaces must be in conduit
for the full run outside of JPMC areas such that no JPMC cabling is accessible to anyone other than
JPMC personnel. Junction and pull boxes and other access points required in common areas shall be
provided with locks so that the cabling is inaccessible to anyone other than JPMC personnel.
33
SECTION 01 00 00 – CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY SPACES
QUALITY CONTROL
Initial Cable Inspection: Contractor shall inspect all cable prior to installation to verify that it is identified
properly on the reel identification label, that it is of proper gauge, containing the correct number of pairs,
etc. Note any buckling of the jacket, which would indicate possible problems. Damaged cable, and/or
any other components failing to meet Specifications shall not be used in the installation.
CHANGE CONTROLS
Work within operational JPMC technology spaces including TRs, MERs, and Co-Lo’s should be preceded
via implementation of the Enterprise Change Management (ECM) process, which results in issuance of a
change control number. The ECM record may limit work to specific categories, locations, dates and times.
This process is administered by JPMC, and provides a consistent method of tracking work that may have
an impact on technology production. It is Contractor's responsibility to request and retain change control
numbers before performing work in these technology spaces. If Contractor is informed by JPMC
personnel that an ECM is not necessary, it is in Contractor's best interest to solicit written confirmation to
avoid impact to Contractor standing. Other Contractor actions may be required In addition to ECM as
part of access to, and conduct of work within technology spaces, and Contractor is encouraged to ask
about such requirements during initial engagement on each project.
SITE SAFETY
Contractor shall provide safety cones, barricades, caution tape, or other safety equipment or devices to
direct personnel around the work area in order to protect personnel and property. All aspects of
construction and installation must meet applicable local, state, and federal laws, as well as any
regulations specific to a site. Legally binding requirements must prevail if there are any conflicts with
requirements stated or implied in this Standard document. The AHJ will be the arbiter in situations where
interpretation is necessary to clarify information, or to resolve conflicts involving legally binding
requirements.
Work safety must be in compliance with Public Law 91-596, Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
As applicable, requirements of the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code must be followed.
MATERIAL INTERPRETATION
Contractor should not assume that materials listed in this specification must be installed merely because
they are listed in this specification. Project-specific detail on required materials is further defined in the
accompanying project specific drawings.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
Provision of a quotation for a project indicates that Contractor understands its scope, and has included in
their quote sufficient monies to provide the labor and materials necessary to install a top-quality, fully-
functional system while meeting all scheduled deadlines.
34
SECTION 01 00 00 – CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY SPACES

both functionally, and wherever possible, aesthetically. All cables shall be dressed in accordance with
manufacturer’s Standards to insure that performance characteristics of the cable are supported. All
hardware should be mounted plumb and level, and where multiple hardware units are installed, spacing
should be uniform from unit to unit so as to ensure a visually pleasing appearance. Contractor shall take
care to prepare cable lengths that are neither too shortresulting in kinks and out-of-specification bends
nor too long resulting in difficult cable management and sloppy appearance. Manufacturer’s
Standard pulling tension and minimum bend radii shall be complied with at all times.
Cable Lubricants: Lubricants specifically designed for installing communications cable may be used to
reduce pulling tension as necessary when pulling cable into conduit. After installation, exposed cable and
other surfaces shall be cleaned free of lubricant residue. See Sections 01 45 23 and 33 82 53 for further
detail.
TESTING
The OPR shall be furnished a minimum of 24 hours’ notice prior to any and all cable testing. The OPR
may attend and/or participate in some or all testing.

tension that can be applied to the cable without degradation of the cable transmission
properties. The pull tension limit is based on the strength of the conduit (including sidewall
pressure), the strength of the pull line, the geometry of the conduit system, and the strength
of the cable. The position of the bends and length of the conduit system will affect the pull
tension that will be imposed on a cable. For instance, pulling cable in one direction may
cause a cable pull tension of 2700 N (600 lbf) whereas pulling from the opposite direction
may cause a tension of 1350 N (300 lbf). The pull tension of the planned cable to be installed
shall be calculated in both directions. The greater of the calculated pull forces shall not
exceed the pull force requirements of the planned cable to be installed. To reduce friction
during pulls, see Section 33 82 53.

INNERDUCT
PART 1 – GENERAL
To allow for future communication upgrades, including transitioning from multi-pair copper cables to
optical fiber media, a specific number of conduits shall be dedicated for that purpose. And to further that
effort and achieve maximum conduit utilization, those conduits shall contain innerduct.
A. Innerduct is a nonmetallic raceway placed within a larger raceway. For the purposes of this
Section, it may be hard-sided (hereinafter referred to as “innerduct”), or soft-sided flexible
textile raceway (hereinafter referred to as “Soft Duct”). If multiple cables are to be pulled
through a single innerduct or Soft Duct cell, they should be pulled at the same time. Soft
Duct provides multiple sleeves within conduits and empty cells should be provided for future
growth.
B. Innerduct is employed when fiber optic cables are routed in unprotected areas.
E. Contractor should coordinate a site visit from the Soft Duct manufacturer to oversee the
installation when 1) the contractor has never utilized this product in the past; or 2) when the
aggregate length of the installation exceeds 1,500 m (5,000 ft).
PART 2 - PRODUCTS
A. Innerduct shall be rated for the purpose. Innerduct listed in this section is not plenum rated.
Contractor shall exercise diligence in ensuring that the innerduct installed meets the
requirements of authorities having jurisdiction.
B. Local or national codes may or may not require plenum or Low Smoke Zero Halogen in some
applications. It is Contractor’s responsibility to install materials that are appropriate to the
environment. If Contractor installs innerduct or Soft Duct that is inappropriate to the
environment (e.g. plenum-rated in spaces that do not require plenum, or non-plenum-rated in
spaces that require plenum), Contractor shall be expected to remove the inappropriate
innerduct or Soft Duct and install appropriate innerduct or Soft Duct at their sole expense.
2.2 SIZING
A. Consistent use of innerduct can result in rapid exhaustion of cable pathways. Accordingly,
contractor shall always employ the smallest diameter innerduct for the purpose of the project.
B. Contractor shall seek OPR approval before employing 50 mm (2 in) diameter innerduct.
C. Except as noted herein, conduit that is 50 mm (2 in) in diameter should be equipped with 2”
3-cell Soft Duct quantity 1. Conduit that is 75 mm (3 in) should be equipped with 3” 3-cell
58
SECTION 27 05 28.34 INNERDUCT
Soft Duct, maximum quantity 2; and 100 mm (4 in) in diameter should be equipped with 3” 3-
cell Soft Duct, maximum quantity 3.
D. When 3” 3-cell Soft Duct is too small to accommodate large diameter cables and large O.D.
factory terminated pulling grips, conduit that is 75 mm (3 in) should be equipped with 4” 3-cell
Soft Duct, maximum quantity 1; and 100 mm (4 in) in diameter should be equipped with 4” 3-
cell Soft Duct, maximum quantity 2.
E. The outside diameter of pulling grips associated with factory terminated fiber trunk cables will
affect the selection of Soft Duct. See Table 1 for detail,

2.3 In regions where the specified aerosol lubricant is not available, See OPR for suitable water-
based lubricant substitute.
PART 3 – EXECUTION
3.1 INSTALLATION
A. For normal cable pulls, prelubricate the conduit by spraying five to ten squirts of pulling
lubricant into the conduit before pulling. Saturate a wipe by spraying with lubricant and lightly
wipe lubricant on jacket to fully coat the cable as it enters the conduit.
B. For more difficult cable pulls, completely prelubricate the conduit. Squirt appropriate amount
of lubricant into the conduit and pull through a sponge or lubricant spreader to coat the
interior of the entire length. Wipe lubricant on cables as they enter the conduit as described
in above.
C. High efficiency spray pulling lubricants are effective with very thin coats in the range of 1 to 5
mg/cm2 of jacket surface. Estimate lubricant volume for a job using the following formula:
Q=4XnXD
Where:
Q = Quantity of lubricant in fluid ounces per 100 feet
87
n = Number of cables in conduit
D = Average cable diameter in inches
Note: A high volume trigger sprayer injects one fluid ounce per 20 sprays.
D. The appropriate quantity for use on any given pull can vary from this recommendation by
50%, depending on the complexity of the pull. Adjust the volume of pulling lubricant in
accordance with the following modifying factors:
1) Cable weight and jacket hardness – Increase quantities for stiff, heavy cable (e.g.
armored).
2) Conduit Type and Condition – Increase quantities for old, dirty, or rough conduits.
3) Conduit Fill – Increase quantities for conduit fills greater than 40%. Increase quantities
for large bundles of cable and be sure all cables are coated.
4) Number of Bends – Increase quantities for pulls with more than one bend
5) Temperature – Increase quantities for high ambient temperatures (above 27°C/80°F).

WTS Cable Design and Engineering
TABLE OF CONTENTS
List of Figures
1. Background
JP Morgan Chase (JPMC) has standardized on Cisco Aironet 2700 and 3800 series wireless access
points. For proper signal coverage, APs shall be placed per the PRE survey report. APs are typically
mounted to the drop ceiling grid. The Cisco 2700 and 3800 series APs are plenum-rated devices suitable
for such locations.
The initial Planner Report shall only be used in the initial Structured Cabling Design package in
order to obtain pricing from the bidders.
Once the PRE Survey Report is available, the Structured Cabling Design package shall be updated
to reflect the AP Numbering and specific location information for the installation of the APs.
The Cable vendor shall identify the MAC addresses of the installed APs matching the PRE Survey
AP Numbering.
The Cable vendor patches WAPs in the Technology Space and verifies LED on AP is lit.
The WiFi Services engineer configures the wireless LAN controllers (if required).
The Network Engineer programs the APs and points them to wireless LAN controller using the
MAC to AP spreadsheet.
The LOB performs the UAT testing to verify WiFi network is operational.
The Professional Services vendor conducts the POST Survey which will reflect the actual required
mounting points required to achieve optimal coverage.
Per the POST Survey some AP locations may require repositioning by the Cable vendor.
2. Power
This product shall be connected to a power-over-Ethernet (PoE) IEEE 802.3at 30W compliant power
source. Each access point requires one dedicated full-duplex 1000 Mb/s switch port.
Verify cable.
3. Cabling
APs use a single cable for both signal and power (POE); the JPMC Global Structured Cabling Standard
specifies two Cat6A white cable runs from the Telecommunication Room (TR) to each access point. The
first cable is used to extend the device’s console connection in order to provide out of band access in case
of a configuration error or outage. This first cable terminates to the patch panel and is not connected to the
LAN switch. The second Cat6A white cable is used for both signal and power. The second cable
terminates to the patch panel and is connected to the LAN switch.
This junction box is the termination point for the cables run back to the TRs and their connectors are also
color-coded. The white cables correspond to the console and Ethernet connectors on the access points.
This helps prevent improper connections during installation. The following figure shows the cabling
arrangement for the access points in detail. See Figure 1 for a typical cabling schematic.
Note All work shall be performed in accordance with the prevailing version of
the JP Morgan Chase Global Structured Cabling Standard.
4. Access Points
The 2702E model access point has external antenna connectors and the LED indictor on the top of the
model, as shown in Figure 2. The 2702I model access point has integrated antennas and does not have
external connectors on the top of the unit; however, it does have the LED indicator on top of the unit, as
shown in Figure 3.
1 LED indicator
The ports and connections on the bottom of the access point are shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 - Access Point Ports and Connections (bottom)-AIR2702E and 2702I Models
Note The Auxiliary Ethernet port is disabled. Do not connect this port to a PoE switch. Connecting the
primary and auxiliary ports to a PoE switch will not provide additional power.
AP Module connector if Figure 8 is a special purpose port, currently not used but may be utilized in future
deployments.

5. Mounting
5.1. Introduction
The mounting instructions describe the steps for mounting Cisco Aironet 3800, and 2700 series APs in
several configurations, including on a suspended ceiling, on a hard ceiling or wall, on an electrical or
network box.
Note: The normal and preferred AP mounting method is to a dropped ceiling grid. This mounting practice
will better accommodate the weight of the AP. Drop Ceiling mounting, APs with integrated antennas are
designed to be mounted horizontally from the ceiling below lighting fixtures and HVAC ducting. Typical
install is 8’ to 10’ from the floor. If there is a requirement to mount the AP in any other manner, advance
approval and direction from the Wi-Fi team is required.
Mounting hardware for access points consists of brackets, which connect to the bottom of the access point,
and ceiling grid clips, which connect the bracket to a suspended ceiling. The bracket that you need
depends on the mounting location for the access point. The ceiling grid clip that you need depends on the
type of suspended ceiling where you need to install the access point. You don't need ceiling grid clips if you
are mounting the access point to a hard-surface ceiling or a wall.
The JPMC standard mounting bracket, AIR-AP-BRACKET-2, is deployed for new builds, with AIR-AP-
BRACKET-1 deployed only on an exception basis:
• The universal bracket (AIR-AP-BRACKET-2) , the JPMC standard bracket, is versatile (it works with
electrical boxes, can be used for wall mounting, and adapts to ceiling installations), increases compatibility
with future access point models, and allows for installation of the expansion module on the back of the
access point. Figure10 shows the universal bracket installed on an access point.
• The low-profile bracket (AIR-AP-BRACKET-1), which provides a tight fit between the access point and
the ceiling but does not accommodate network/electrical box or wall mounting. Figure11 shows the low-
profile bracket installed on an access point.
Ceiling grid clips are used to mount the access point to a suspended ceiling grid. The ceiling grid clip
needed depends on the ceiling tile installed at the site.
There are two types of ceiling grid clips:
• Ceiling Grid Clip, Recessed (AIR-AP-T-RAIL-R)—If the ceiling tile hangs below the ceiling grid, the
recessed clip provides the best fit between the AP and the ceiling.
• Ceiling Grid Clip, Flush (AIR-AP-T-RAIL-F)—If the ceiling tiles are flush with the ceiling grid, this clip
provides a snug fit between the AP and the ceiling.
Figure 12 shows a ceiling grid clip.
The most common type of ceiling rail (the supports for the ceiling tiles) is the T-rail. You can attach a ceiling
grid clip directly to a T-rail ceiling rail. However, other types of ceiling rails, such as channel rails and beam
rails require an additional adapter clip (AIR-CHNL-ADAPTER). You need two adapter clips for each access
point. Set screws on the clips hold them securely on the ceiling rail.
Figure 13 shows the three types of ceiling rails: T-rail, channel, and beam. Figure 14 shows an access
point installed with mounting bracket, ceiling grid clip, and adapter clips.
Follow these steps to mount the access point below a standard or recessed suspended ceiling. Figure 15
shows an access point mounted on a T-rail ceiling rail using a ceiling grid clip.
Follow these steps to mount the access point below a suspended ceiling.
Step 1 Decide where you want to mount the access point on your suspended ceiling.
Step 2 Open the ceiling grid clip completely.
Step 3 Place the ceiling grid clip over the T-rail and close it to the appropriate detent (A, B, or C).
Step 4 Use a screwdriver to tighten the two ceiling grid clip locking screws to prevent the clip from sliding
along the T-rail.
Step 5 Observe the ceiling grid clip width detent letter (A, B, or C) that corresponds to the T-rail width.
Step 6 Align the corresponding holes (A, B, or C) on the mounting bracket over the mounting holes on the
ceiling grid clip.
Step 7 Hold the mounting bracket and insert a 6-32 x 1/4 in. screw into each of the four corresponding
holes (A, B, or C) and tighten.
Step 8 If necessary, drill or cut a cable access hole in the ceiling tile large enough for the Ethernet and
power cables. Pull the cables through the access hole until you have about 1 foot of cable
protruding from the hole.
Step 9 (Optional) Use the ground screw to ground the access point to a suitable building ground. See
Section 5.9 for general grounding instructions.
Step 10 Connect the Ethernet and power cables to the access point.
Step 11 Align the access point feet over the keyhole mounting slots on the mounting bracket. If you
created a hole for the cables make sure the access point is positioned so that the cables reach
their respective ports.
Step 12 Gently slide the access point onto the mounting bracket until it clicks into place.
This procedure describes the steps required to mount the access point on a ceiling constructed of 3/4-in
(19.05-mm) or thicker plywood using #8 fasteners using the universal mounting bracket (AIR-AP-
BRACKET-2).
Follow these steps to mount the access point on a solid ceiling or wall.
Step 1 Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark the locations of the mounting holes on the
bracket. Figure 16 shows details of the mounting bracket.
Caution Be sure to mark all four locations. To ensure a safe and secure installation, make sure you are
using adequate fasteners and mount the access point using no less than four fasteners.
Caution Do not use plastic wall anchors or the keyhole slots on the mounting bracket for ceiling
installations. When mounting the access point on a hard ceiling, use four fasteners capable of maintaining
a minimum pullout force of 20 lbs (9 kg).

Step 2 Use a #29 drill (0.1360-in. [3.4772 mm]) bit to drill a pilot hole at the mounting hole locations you
marked.
Note The pilot hole size varies according to the material and thickness you are fastening. Cisco
recommends that you test the material to determine the ideal hole size for your mounting application.
Step 3 (Optional) Drill or cut a cable access hole near and below the location of the mounting bracket
cable access cover large enough for the Ethernet cable, building ground wire, and power cables.
Step 4 Pull approximately 9 inches of cable through the hole. Route the Ethernet and power cables
through the bracket before you attach the bracket to the ceiling or wall. Route the cables through
the main cable access hole and then through the smaller access hole as shown in Figure 17.
Step 5 (Optional) Use the ground screw to attach the building ground wire to the mounting bracket. See
Section 5.9 for general grounding instructions.
Step 6 Position the mounting bracket mounting holes (with indents down) over the pilot holes.
Step 7 Insert a fastener into each mounting hole and tighten.
Step 8 Connect the Ethernet and power cables to the access point.
Step 9 Align the access point feet with the large part of the keyhole mounting slots on the mounting plate.
When positioned correctly, the cable access cover will fit inside the access point connector bay.
Step 10 Gently slide the access point onto the mounting bracket keyhole slots until it clicks into place.
Follow these steps to mount an access point to a network box or an electrical box.
Step 1 Position the universal mounting bracket (AIR-AP-BRACKET-2) over the existing network or
electrical box and align the bracket mounting holes with the box holes.
Step 2 Hold the mounting bracket in place and insert a 6 x 32 x 1/4-in pan head screw into each of the
mounting holes and tighten.
Step 3 Pull approximately 9 inches of Ethernet and power cable through the hole. Route the cables
through the bracket before you attach the bracket to the ceiling. Route the cables through the main
cable access hole and then through the smaller access hole as shown in Figure 17.
Step 4 (Optional) Use the ground screw to attach the building ground wire to the mounting bracket. See
Section 5.9 for general grounding instructions.
Step 5 Connect the Ethernet and power cables to the access point.
Step 6 Align the access point feet over the keyhole mounting slots on the optional mounting bracket.
Step 7 Slide the access point onto the optional mounting bracket until it clicks into place.
Grounding is not always required for indoor installations because Cisco Aironet access points are classified
as low-voltage devices and do not contain internal power supplies. However, Cisco recommends that you
check your local and national electrical codes to see if grounding is a requirement. If grounding is required
in your area or you wish to ground your access point, follow these steps.
Step 1 Find a suitable building grounding point as close to the access point as possible.
Step 2 Connect a user-supplied ground wire to the building grounding point. The wire should be a
minimum of #14AWG assuming a circuit length of 25 ft (30.5 cm). Consult your local electrical
codes for additional information.
Step 3 Route the ground wire to the access point.
Step 4 Attach the wire to a suitable grounding O-ring lug.
Step 5 Crimp or solder the wire to the lug.
Step 6 Insert the grounding post screw into the O-ring lug and install it on the mounting bracket as shown
in Figure 18.
Step 7 Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the ground screw.

1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Standard was created to promote an appropriate level of diligence during
fiber and copper patching, including planning and validation.
1.2 Scope
This Standard is broken into the following categories:
Summary – Key points associated with fiber and copper patching, in a 1-
page “cheat sheet” form.
Copper patching Standard – Description of planning, preparation,
patching, and validation associated with copper patching.
Fiber patching Standard – Description of planning, patching, and
validation associated with fiber patching.
Optical fiber cleaning Standard – Created by consensus with Infrastructure
and Design Engineering team and structured cabling manufacturers.
Fiber cleaning products – Specified by JPMC structured cabling
manufacturers.
This Standard is applicable regardless of the presence or absence of intelligent
patching (e.g. iPatch). Accordingly, it is silent on the subject.
2.2 History
In a 2009 post mortem of a failed data center SAN deployment, it was
determined that there had been a significant volume of connectivity failures that
could have been avoided if support personnel had been familiar with proper
patching practice. This document was created to address that shortfall.
2.7 Assumptions
Fiber optic patching can only be effective if appropriate cleaning materials are at
hand. The fiber cleaning products list found in Appendix C is a sampling of
suitable products that are available in the marketplace, and a supply of cleaning
products must always be readily available.
This Standard is most effective when it is uniformly adopted in technology spaces
including, but not limited to Main Equipment Rooms (MERs),
Telecommunications Rooms (TRs), and Co-Locations (Co-Los).
2.8 Risks/Issues
Failure to follow guidance in this Best Practice will increase risk.
When direction in this document is
consistently followed, overall risk
to JPMC technology spaces is
reduced.
All personnel working in JPMC
technology spaces are expected to
consistently follow processes and
procedures defined in this
Standard.
5.2 Preparation
To minimize disconnect time, do as much preparation as possible before performing patching
activities.
Study Administrative Records
Locate the ports that must be connected or reconnected. Ensure you have all the information you
need.
Inspect Cords
It is essential to ensure cords are of the right type and quality, and that they are clean and in good
condition, especially when re-using patch cords.
Patch Cords shall be inspected for physical damage including:
stress marks from bending on the sheath
pullout of conductors from the plug
pin contamination on the plug end
bent or missing pins on the plug end
damaged or missing retention clip (the retention clip is the plastic clip that locks the patch
cord in the jack)
5.3 Patching
Use best practices at each stage:
Cord Handling
Kinks, snags, pinches and poor contacts can dramatically reduce the performance of a patch
cord. The following factors are important in avoiding these problems.
Bend Radius
The minimum bend radius specified by standards is four times the cable diameter under no-
load for Category 5e and Category 6 cable. Anything less may change the relative position of
conductors to the point where transmission performance is affected.
Cord Pulling and Stress
Be careful not to use excessive force during the patching process. This can stress cords and
connectors, reducing their performance. If you need to use force when placing a cord,
something is wrong. Find the problem and fix it before proceeding.
Bundling
Bundling and tying cords gives the panel a neat appearance, but tight bundling increases the
risk of crosstalk and can slow the process of tracing a patch cord. If you decide to bundle,
take care not to tighten bundles to the point where individual cords cannot rotate freely at the
bundling point. Use only products manufactured for this purpose, with preference to use of
Velcro® and equivalent re-usable cable ties. Do not use plastic cable ties because they can
easily be over-tightened… an over-tightened plastic cable tie can damage the cable and
affect the performance of the connection.
Where PoE is deployed utilize a maximum of 25 cables to a bundle.
Routing Cords through Cable Pathways
If the existing cord is the right length, it may be possible to re-use it. If this is the case,
remove the cord completely and re-run it through the cable pathways. This is the only way to
ensure there are no tangles, kinks or strains in the cord.
5.4 Validation
Inspect the Connection
Patching must be right the first time since mistakes can cause costly disruption and re-work. The
time taken to make a final visual check of connections is a good investment. When patch panels
are located in cabinets, ensure they are securely latched, making sure that cord slack is not
snagged or pinched by the door.
Update Documentation
The final step is to update the documentation to the reflect changes and close the work order
associated with the completed change request.
6.1 Planning
Search the Records
Once a request for connectivity is received, search the records to identify the circuit path.
Diagrams provided by the system designer will help you understand cable types, sizes, location,
routing, and layout. Any changes or additions made since your cabling infrastructure was installed
must also be documented.
Check Design Guidelines and Match Cords
Make sure you know the specifications and design of your fiber cabling. Ensure you use patch
cords that are matched to the installed cabling – optical fiber cords of different types must never
be mixed. See Table 1 for guidance in matching the patch cord to the structured cabling. To
ensure optimum performance and warranty coverage, the manufacturer of the patch panel and
the manufacturer of the patch cord should always be the same.

Efficient Routing
To establish the correct cord length, first find the best route between the ports to be connected.
This is usually the shortest route through horizontal and vertical cable guides that does not
obstruct or interfere with other cords and connectors in the panel. See Appendix C (in this
document) for a patching diagram.
Avoid routing cords through cable pathways that are already congested.
Examples of cable pathways include:
horizontal patch cord management channels
vertical cable management channels
cable trays and basket trays
Vertical and Horizontal Sizing
Having established the best route for the cord, find the minimum required length by adding the
horizontal and vertical distances.
Minimizing Slack
Use correctly sized patch cords every time. Patch cord length must not be excessive, and
requires planning for no more than 0.305 m (1 ft) of slack on either end. When selecting a cord,
avoid excessive slack and provide a neat appearance. Tight cords will pull on connectors, and too
6.2 Patching
Use best practice at each stage:
6.3 Validation
Final Visual Inspection and Panel Closure
Cleanliness of fiber optic connections is critical to the performance of optical communication networks. Contamination on
a connector end face, even if only at the microscopic level, can create severe problems. Single-mode fiber optic core
diameters are approximately 9 microns (0.00035 inches). By comparison, a human hair is 50 microns or larger in
diameter. Contamination that blocks the fiber core generates strong back reflections (Return Loss), and may effect
attenuation (Insertion Loss). Loose contamination on the connector end face that does not block the core may move
during de-mating, or may prevent physical glass-to-glass contact required for proper signal transmission. Rigid
contamination trapped between connector end faces may permanently damage the fiber core(s). Dry contaminants are
relatively simple to remove compared to oils and films which naturally occur with human contact, vapor condensation, and
solvent evaporation. If you clean only the connector and not the adapter, pre-existing contaminants on the adapter will be
transferred to the connector, spreading the problem instead of reducing it.
DO NOT ASSUME THAT THE FIBER PATCH CORD IS CLEAN. Though patch cords in factory packaging should be
clean, it is essential that each and every patch cord be cleaned before making every connection, every time. Making a
habit of cleaning fiber patch cords before connecting results in a reliable, successful outcome.
JP Morgan Chase identifies fiber structured cabling products manufactured by Corning and CommScope, who sell the
fiber cleaning products listed below. Fiber cleaning products from other manufacturers may be as effective and less
costly, only products listed below are supported by the manufacturer of the fiber should be used. These products are
available through many distribution channels.

3.1. Scope/Exceptions
Local regulations or data protection legislation may dictate deviations to this Standard, which must
be incorporated into the design. Any exceptions will be clearly defined and documented within the
JPMC Controls Framework.
5. Technology Standards
GSI integrates various technologies and people with processes to form the depth and layered
approach to security, which monitors, records and deters potential malicious activity. The
technology that is used will vary depending on the space protected, variations include:
a. Access Control:
JPMC Regional Access Control Systems provide employees and contingent workers the
ability to access JPMC premises across the globe. Controlling and managing this access
ensures a safe and secure work environment and guards against potential risks to the
company's people, facilities, information and assets. An Information Custodian or
designee must authorize access. A record of the authorization must be maintained for at
least thirty-six (36) months,
b. CCTV:
The JPMC CCTV systems are in place to assist security personnel in detecting safety
and/or security violations, investigate and verify alarms.
c. Intrusion Devices:
Door contacts are used to monitor all emergency exits, roof hatches and appropriate
access panels.
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE – GLOBAL SECURITY & INVESTIGATIONS, TECHNICAL SECURITY
d. Biometric Readers:
These readers must be used in card plus fingerprint mode. This creates a dual
authentication using the hardware.
b. Card Reader entry door lock should be fail secure in case of power outage or fire alarm
system activation unless dictated by local code.
c. Cameras covering the entrance door and any other secondary exits from inside and
outside.
d. Any secondary doors that lead into the room must be treated as emergency exits and
must have a door contact (remotely monitored) and local alarm sounder.
e. All doors leading into the MER should be monitored for immediate forced open and door
