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.).

1.2 CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY SPACE DEFINITIONS

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.

A. MAIN EQUIPMENT ROOM (MER):


An MER is a critical technology space of a building serving as a common network distribution point
for the Telecommunications Rooms within that building (see “TR” definition below). The

5
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.

• Information outlet faceplates

• Pre-connectorized cables

• Patch panels

• Racks

• Cabinets

B. TELECOMMUNICATIONS ROOM (TR):


A TR is a critical technology space of a building serving a floor - or portion of a floor – that provides
an access point for end user connectivity. A TR is for the exclusive use of JPMC, with an exception
in some cases for use by its business partners. A TR shall only serve end user connectivity outlets
on the same floor that the TR is located on, not multiple floors.
(NOTE: A Common Telecommunications Room is a shared space in a multi-tenant building and
must not be used for JPMC equipment or connections.)
Associated functions include:
• Horizontal cable distribution from access switches to user devices.
• Backbone connectivity to the MER for network core access and to telecommunications
equipment.
• Connectivity for multimedia equipment specific to the floor or area the TR serves.

C. CO-LOCATION SPACE (CO-LOCATION FACILITY):


A Co-location space is a dedicated information technology space in a shared facility. The space
supports servers providing business application access to a user population. The Co-location
space may be used for the following:
• Provide connection to a Core Data Center
• Provide primary business critical services for a specific country or region.
• Act as a ‘Specialty’ or ‘Hub’ Data Center providing non-primary, niche business critical,
proximity or peripheral services.

mandatory.

B. The following terms identify an optional item: can, may, should, preferably, prefers, desired,
desirable.

C. Code refers to requirements that are legally binding.

D. Regulation(s), Regulatory refer to requirements that may be legally binding, or that may be
imposed by a non-governmental authority.

E. NEC and NFPA 70 are used interchangeably to identify the National Electrical Code.

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.

G. “ICT” stands for “Information and Communication Technology”.

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.

1.4 CODES, REGULATIONS, STANDARDS, AND PRACTICES

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.

C. Codes, regulations, standards, and industry practices documents explicit to this Standard are
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)”.

a) Avoid locations that are restricted by building components, such as elevators, core, outside
walls, or other fixed building walls that limit expansion.
b) Avoid locations with large trunk ductwork, piping, or other items that cannot be relocated.
c) For the delivery of large equipment, location decisions should factor in the need for
accessibility.
d) Close proximity to backbone cabling pathways is desirable.

e) Never locate a room below grade, in flood zones, or near spaces that may present a threat
of water infiltration unless preventive measures against water infiltration are employed.
f) Components not related to the support of the room and its equipment (e.g. water supply
pipes, drain pipes, miscellaneous piping, ductwork, pneumatic tubing, etc.) must not be
installed in, pass through, or enter the room.
g) Rooms must be located away from sources of electromagnetic interference. Special
attention should be given to electrical power supply transformers, motors and generators,
x-ray equipment, radio or radar transmitters, and induction sealing devices.
h) Rooms must not be a pass through to other rooms, and rooms must not be located behind
other rooms that act as a pass through (e.g., MEP trades should not use rooms as a pass
through to other rooms, etc.).
i) Areas susceptible to heat gain from sunlight require mitigation to counter potentially
undesirable effects.
j) Rooms must not have any windows.

Applicability: MER, TR, Co-location
a) A structural engineer must be consulted during the design to specify the floor loading limit.
The minimum distributed floor loading capacity must be 150 lb/ft2 (7.2 kPA), although it is
recommended that it be at least 250 lb/ft2 (12 kPA). Sections of floor must be appropriately
reinforced if equipment loading exceeding these limits is anticipated initially or at later time
(e.g. due to equipment relocation). If extensive reconfiguration – including equipment
relocation - is anticipated, the entire floor must be appropriately reinforced.
b) The floor must have a minimum of 1.2 kPA (25 lb/ft2) capacity for supporting loads that are
suspended from the bottom of the floor (for example, cable ladders suspended from the
ceiling of the floor below). The recommended minimum hanging capacity of the floor is 2.4
kPA (50 lb/ft2). Access floor support elements must have similar load carrying capabilities.

D. CEILING
Applicability: MER, TR, Co-location

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).

3. UNINTERRUPTIBLE ELECTRICAL POWER


Applicability: See below
Uninterruptible power sources, when included to avoid disruption during a power outage or
abnormal supply condition, must be provided to critical technology spaces at the room level,
not at the rack or cabinet level [central or building UPS or rack mounted UPS is not part of the
requirement] See Appendix E for a list of power strips).

i. Critical loads in MER and Co-location spaces must be backed up by an uninterruptible
power source (UPS) serving these rooms. UPS must be in an N+1 configuration where
N denotes the minimum number necessary to satisfy the base requirement. The
required duration of backup is a design decision for these spaces.
ii. Uninterruptible power must automatically come online after a primary electrical supply
failure - and switch back after restoration - rapidly enough so that equipment operation
is not disturbed.

15
SECTION 01 00 00 – CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY SPACES

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.
IG circuits must conform to NEC requirements (also as a reference for usage, IEEE

upgrades without replacing power cables
b) Bulk DC power feeds (100A – 600A) must terminate on JPMC BDCBB(s).

8. EMERGENCY POWER FOR HVAC


Applicability: See below
a) For MER and Co-location: Air conditioning and other critical environmental services may
be briefly interrupted after an initial power failure, but must automatically come back online
from emergency power before environmental conditions in a room deteriorate below
acceptable levels.
b) For TR:
Emergency power backup for air conditioning and other critical environmental services:
i. Is not required if equipment in the TR is not provided with backup power

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 NOTICE TO PROCEED


Contractor notice to proceed may be in the form of a properly executed agreement or valid purchase
order. Contractor shall not proceed with any work until they are in receipt of a valid PO or notice to
proceed. JPMC Preferred Contractor status will not be affected by Contractor’s refusal to begin a project
when they have not received a valid notice to proceed.

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

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.

3.2 PULL TENSION

A. Conduit sizing is directly related to the planned diameter of the cable and the maximum pull
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.

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.

C. Copper cables do not require the use of innerduct.

D. The only permissible application for Soft Duct is within conduit.

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).

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.

case shall Category 6 cable runs exceed 90m (295 ft) in length.

B. T.1 demarcation extensions shall be accomplished via installation of appropriately sized


Category 6 patch panels at the near and far ends, which are interconnected by Category 6
cables in accordance with requirements set forth in this section 27 15 00.19.

C. In all new construction environments, all Category 6 horizontal cable shall be installed in
accordance with this Section 27 15 00.19. Where new horizontal cable is being added to an
existing (Legacy) infrastructure that follows an earlier version JPMC cabling Standard,
Contractor shall furnish to OPR a detailed description of deviations from this Standard, and
upon OPR written approval, follow instead the Legacy Standard. In the case of Legacy
facilities that are served by cable that performs at Category 5e level or less, category 5e
cable shall be installed.

PART 2 – PRODUCTS

2.1 CABLE RATING

A. Appendix E includes part numbers for CMP, CMR, and LSZH cable. Local or national codes
may require specific cable grading in specific applications. It is Contractor’s responsibility to
install cable that is appropriate to the environment. If Contractor installs cable that is
inappropriate to the environment (e.g. plenum-rated cable in spaces that do not require
plenum cable or riser-rated cable in spaces that require plenum cable), Contractor shall be
expected to tear out the inappropriate cable and install appropriate cable at their sole
expense.

B. Only factory terminated patch cords may be utilized in JPMC facilities. UTP patch cords that
are pre-terminated (e.g., created by personnel not directly employed by the manufacturer) are
not permissible, unless previously approved in writing by OPR.

2.2 PATCH CORDS

A. All patch cords for workstations shall be of length necessary to connect devices.

B. All patch cords for printers, facsimile machines, etc. shall be of length necessary to connect

SECTION 33 82 00 – COMMUNICATION TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION

SECTION 33 82 53

CABLE PULLING LUBRICANTS

PART 1 – GENERAL

1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

A. To avoid damage to cables during their installation within conduit, cable pulling lubricants
should be employed. In all cases, this activity shall be closely coordinated with OPR.

B. Another approach that facilitates cable installation in conduit is the pre-installation of


groupings of properly sized innerduct equipped with pull strings within the conduit. See
27 05 28.34 for innerduct requirements.

PART 2 – PRODUCTS

2.1 See Appendix E for product listings.

2.2 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.

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

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.

Note: The installation process consists of several steps, consisting of;

 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 Network Engineer provides switch port assignments.

 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 WiFi Services engineer validates logical/physical installation of the APs.

 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.

Note: If no LED indicator is present on the AP

 Verify cable connection to the AP.

 Verify network switch and patch panel connections.

 Verify cable.

WTS Cable Design and Engineering

Cisco 3800 Series AP LED Indicator Status

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.

5 of 22 Revision Date: July 1, 2018 Version: 6.0.1


WTS Cable Design and Engineering

Contractor should pay particular attention to the following requirements:


 Wherever practical, access points should not be located near metal objects such as air ducts and
structural steel that may obstruct the wireless signal.
 Unless otherwise directed in writing, Contractor shall install all wireless access points below the
suspended ceiling at the specified height and location per the PRE Survey report.
 AP mounting can deviate 2 to 3’ from the survey to allow for unforeseen obstacles such as fire
suppression and lighting fixtures.
 Patch cords at the wireless access point shall be Category 6A with a preferred length of 1 m or 2 m
(3ft. or 6 ft.) where possible, with slake (service) loops managed in the horizontal cable. Should
conduit be required to the WAP outlet, Category 6A patch cords may be used up to 5 m (16 ft.) in
length to allow for potential repositioning of the WAPs.

4. Access Points

4.1. 2700 Series Access Point

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.

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.

13 of 22 Revision Date: July 1, 2018 Version: 6.0.1


WTS Cable Design and Engineering

5.2. Mounting Hardware

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.

5.3. Mounting Brackets

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.

5.4. Ceiling Grid Clips

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.

5.5. Additional Adapters for Channel and Beam Ceiling Rails

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

16 of 22 Revision Date: July 1, 2018 Version: 6.0.1


WTS Cable Design and Engineering

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.

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.

5.7. Mounting an Access Point on a Hard Ceiling or a Wall

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.

Figure 17 - Routing the Ethernet and Power Cables

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.

5.8. Mounting an Access Point to a Network or Electrical Box

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.

5.9. Grounding an Access Point

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.

  STD: Patching Standard 
 

1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY  
This Standard was created to promote an appropriate level of diligence during
fiber and copper patching, including planning and validation.

1.1 Purpose and Audience


Support personnel who perform patching-related changes in JPMC technology
spaces are the focus of this Standard.

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.

1.3 Principles and Methodologies


Key to effective and successful implementation of initiatives in JPMC technology
space is the simple task of patching. It is not uncommon for technology support
personnel to learn through trial and error, with no available method for avoiding a
lessons-learned exercise. When this standard is followed and enforced, patching
will be successfully implemented, and the trial-and-error cycle can be avoided.

1.4 Compliance, Requirements, and Dates


By mandating proper patching practices, the frequency of failed changes will be
reduced. This standard is the product of guidance found in ANSI/TIA 568-C.0,
and the accumulated experience of WTS Cable Design and Engineering and
those manufacturers who support JPMC with structured cabling connectivity
products.

  STD: Patching Standard 
 
2 STANDARD OVERVIEW 
2.1 General Information
The WTS team created this document as a product of several lessons learned. If
guidance in this document is followed, cost and risk will be reduced.

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.

2.3 Current State


To date, this document has been circulated as a best practice. Because of the
historically informative nature of the document, adoption of the outlined practices
has been inconsistent, and benefits have been constrained.

2.4 Future State


By mandating proper patching practices, technology changes will be less
disruptive and the frequency of failed changes will be reduced.

2.5 Regional Variations


No regional variations apply.

2.6 Architecture Guidelines


Patching is a necessary part of most if not all new technology implementations.
Cabling topologies supported through the use of patching are defined in
ANSI/TIA-568-C.0.

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.

4 PATCHING STANDARD SUMMARY 

All Patch Cords


Use the correct patch cord length. Longer than necessary patch cords will always
meet your needs, but they can quickly lead to patch cord congestion. Patch cord length
must not be excessive, and requires planning for no more than 0.305 m (1 ft) of slack on either
end.
If you bundle patch cords, be careful. Bundling patch cords can make isolation of
troubles more difficult. Do not over tighten the bundle, since a tight bundle can affect the
ability of the patch cord to carry data at the speeds for which it is designed.
Inspect the patch cord. If the cable jacket is damaged, if the cord is kinked, or if the
plugs at either end of the patch cord are damaged in any way, discard it. Installing a
damaged patch could have a significant impact on customer service.
When you re-use a patch cord, remove it first. When you leave the patch cord in
place and simply change ports, you are probably contributing to a tangled and disorderly
environment. Always fully remove the patch cord before you begin your new connection.
Update documentation. If you maintain cable records for your facility, update the
documentation after each patching session so that the records can be relied upon when
you need them.
Copper Patch Cords
Match the patch cord with the environment. 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. Use only patch cords matching like
infrastructure types.
Fiber Patch Cords
Match the patch cord with the environment. 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. Depending on the age and nature of the fiber
infrastructure, there are several different types of fiber that is found in JPMC facilities. If
you install an improperly matched fiber patch cord, the application will either work poorly
or fail completely. Cable jacket color provides an indication of compatibility (see Table 1
on page 10). When in doubt, refer to this standard or ask any member of the WTS
Cable Design and Engineering team for clarification.
Clean the patch cord. Clean connectors and adapters every time before making a
connection. If you are using a new patch cord in manufacturer packaging, do not
assume that the patch cord is clean – clean each end before making the connection. If
you disconnect the patch cord for a moment to adjust routing, clean before re-
connecting. Cleaning the patch cord must be the last step you take immediately before
making your connection. See Appendix F for detailed fiber cleaning procedures.

5 COPPER PATCHING STANDARD 
5.1 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 cabling infrastructure, since the use of
lower performing patch cords will have the effect of limiting system performance. Maximum end-
to-end channel performance is only possible when the cord is matched to the cabling. When
making an Ethernet connection, remember that the cable distance limitation of 90 meters (290 ft)
is reduced as the quantity of cross-connects is increased. 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.
Routing, Patch Cord Lengths and Density
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
much slack contributes to congestion in the cable pathway. While the congestion associated with
one too-long patch cord is not significant, it can quickly become unmanageable when many patch
cords are in place.
Efficient Management
Where applicable, patch into the front of the patch panel so that cables do not cross an imaginary
vertical line that bisects the panel. This serves to prevent overloading one side of the panel.
Always take care to avoid routing patch cords in a fashion that may block maintenance access to
technology equipment and components. See Appendix C (in this document) for the patching
diagram.
Maintaining Old with New
Take care not to mix cords of different cabling categories. Patch cords may be mechanically
compatible across old and new cabling but, in any circuit, the component with the lowest
specifications will determine end-to-end performance. For instance, when a Category 5e cord is

7 Revision Date: July 1, 2018 Version: 6.0.2


  STD: Patching Standard 
 
used to connect Category 6 cabling, the channel will only deliver Category 5e performance in
accordance with TIA/EIA and ISO/IEC standards.

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.

8 Revision Date: July 1, 2018 Version: 6.0.2


  STD: Patching Standard 
 
Unused Cords
Any unused cords must always be promptly and carefully removed from patch panels.
Removing and Adding Cords
Removing a patch cord
1. locate the existing circuit on both fields of the connection
2. trace the patch cord along its entire route to ensure you are removing the right cord
3. unplug the patch cord at one end
4. gently lift the cord straight up, taking up slack until its movement is detected
5. follow the cord routing, gently removing it from the cable pathways along its length
6. find the other end and unplug it
7. fully remove the cord
8. In the event a patch cord must be cut to facilitate removal, it must be unplugged from the
switch port prior to cutting.
Adding a patch cord
1. identify the location of the new circuit
2. plug in one end of the patch cord to the outlet or patch panel port
3. route the patch cord through cable pathways to the switch or patch panel port
4. plug in the other end of the patch cord
In cases where a patch cord can be re-used because the length and grade is correct, one end of
the cord may remain plugged into the same port. Although it may not be necessary to unplug that
end, it is important to remove the cord along its length from the cable pathways, to minimize the
chance of snags and/or tangles that will make future administration difficult.

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.

Fiber Safety Precautions and Responsibilities
The lasers that carry information through fiber cables can cause irreparable damage
to the retina. Never look directly into an energized optical fiber, and never attach a
microscope or other magnifying device to an energized optical fiber. Always wear
appropriate eye protection and ensure that unused ports are covered. 

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.

obstruct or interfere with other cords and connectors in the panel. See Appendix C (in this
document) for a patching diagram.

much slack contributes to congestion in the cable pathway. While the congestion associated with
one too-long patch cord is not significant, it can quickly become unmanageable when many patch
cords are installed.
Clean the Connection Every Time
When you are ready to connect the patch cord, remove dust covers and clean the connector and
adapter (see Appendix A & B [in this document] for detailed cleaning procedure). If you must
unplug the connection – even for a moment – clean the connector and adapter again before re-
seating. By developing this good habit, you will be eliminating the primary cause of most cable-
related failures.
Efficient Management
Where applicable, patch into the front of the patch panel so that cables do not cross an imaginary
vertical line that bisects the panel. This serves to prevent overloading one side of the panel.
Always take care to avoid routing patch cords in a fashion that may block maintenance access to
technology equipment and components.
Maintaining Old with New
Take care not to mix cords of different core diameters, multimode grades or color. To ensure
proper use, Industry standards specify unique color coding for various portions of the fiber
cabling. See Table 1 on page 10 for fiber color designations.
Core Diameter
Fiber patch cords must have the same core diameter and grade as the patch panel. For example,
a large attenuation penalty will occur when connecting a 62.5μm patch cord with structured
cabling that uses 50μm fiber. The application will probably fail if a multimode fiber patch cord is
connected to single-mode fiber structured cabling or vice versa. See Table 1 for detail.
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 clear information on
what you need to do.
Cord Inspection
It is essential that cords are of the right type and quality, and that they are clean and in good
condition, especially when re-using patch cords.
Fiber patch cords shall be inspected for physical damage including:
 stress marks from bending on the sheath
 pullout of fibers from the connector
 cracks or scratches on fiber end in connector using a fiber examination microscope
Cleanliness is vital in fiber optic connections, so special care is needed with:
 connector ends on patch cords — see Appendix A & B (in this document) for detailed
cleaning procedure
 connector ends on panels — see Appendix A & B (in this document) for detailed cleaning
procedure
 connector ends on network equipment — see Appendix A & B (in this document) for
detailed cleaning procedure

6.2 Patching
Use best practice at each stage:

11 Revision Date: July 1, 2018 Version: 6.0.2


  STD: Patching Standard 
 
Cord Handling
Kinks, snags, pinches and poor contact can dramatically reduce the performance of a fiber patch
cord. The following factors are important in avoiding these problems.
Bend Radius
The minimum bend radius for optical fiber patch cords varies with cord diameter. For cords
typically used at JP Morgan Chase, assume a minimum bend radius of 1 in (3 cm), the
minimum bend radius is ten times the cord diameter. Exceeding the bend radius can result in
significant performance impact.
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 in pulling 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 can contribute
to degradation of patch cord performance 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 bread ties
or plastic cable ties because they can easily be over-tightened… an over-tightened cable tie
can break the fiber or affect the performance of the connection.
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 in through the cable pathways. This is the only sure
way to ensure there are no tangles, kinks or strains in the cord.
Unused Cords
Any unused cords must always be promptly and carefully removed from patch panels.
Removing and Adding Cords
Removing a patch cord
1. locate the existing circuit on both ends of the connection
2. trace the patch cord along its entire route to ensure you are removing the right cord
3. unplug the patch cord at one end
4. install dust covers on the end of the patch cord
5. gently lift the cord straight up, taking up slack until its movement is detected
6. follow the cord routing, gently removing it from the cable pathways along its length
7. find the other end and unplug it
8. install dust covers on the end of the patch cord
9. fully remove the cord
Adding a patch cord
1. identify the end points of the new circuit
2. remove the dust covers on one end of the patch cord and clean the connector and
adapter — see Appendix B (in this document) for detailed cleaning procedure.
3. plug one end of the patch cord into the fiber coupling

  STD: Patching Standard 
 
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 mounted in enclosures, ensure these are securely closed, making sure that cord slack is not
snagged or pinched by the doors.
Update Documentation
The final step is to update the documentation to the as-built configuration and close the work
order associated with the completed change request.

7 APPENDIX A – OPTICAL FIBER CLEANING STANDARD 

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.

Cleaning ST Connector, Coupling and Attenuator


Clean connector ferrule with a lint-free wipe moistened with minimum 90% isopropyl alcohol and blow-dry with canned
air, holding the nozzle 75 mm (3 inches) from the ferrule. Clean end and sides of the ferrule.
Caution: Signal strength will be affected if the ferrule is not thoroughly cleaned.
Clean coupling by placing a cleaning stick (moistened with minimum 90% isopropyl alcohol) inside the coupling and
gently rotating. Blow-dry the coupling using canned air, holding the nozzle 75 mm (3 inches) from the coupling.
Caution: Do not try to clean the coupling with a cleaning stick if a connector is mounted in one side.
Clean attenuator by holding the canned air nozzle 75 mm (3 inches) from the attenuator end.
Caution: Do not use a cleaning stick to clean the attenuator.
Inspect: If you have problems after your patching is complete, first check the cleanliness of the patch cord by inspecting
the connector end faces with a fiber inspection microscope to verify that it is free of dirt, smudges and/or scratches.
NOTE: Though they are less effective than the method described above, tools that utilize non-reusable film instead of
alcohol can be of assistance when cleaning large quantities of fiber connectors. If this type of tool is selected, it is crucial
that the user advance the film after each connector is cleaned. Failure to advance the film after each cleaning will result
in re-contamination of the fiber. See Appendix B (in this document) for a listing of fiber cleaning products.

Cleaning SC Connector, Coupling and Attenuator


Clean connector ferrule with a lint-free wipe moistened with minimum 90% isopropyl alcohol and blow-dry with canned
air, holding the nozzle 75 mm (3 inches) from the ferrule. Clean the end and sides of the ferrule.
Caution: Signal strength will be affected if the ferrule is not thoroughly cleaned.
Clean sides of ferrule
Clean tip of ferrule
Clean coupling by placing a cleaning stick (moistened with minimum 90% isopropyl alcohol) inside the coupling and
gently rotating. Blow-dry the coupling using canned air, holding the nozzle 75 mm (3 inches) from the coupling.
Caution: Do not try to clean the coupling with cleaning stick if a connector is mounted in one side.
Clean attenuator by holding the canned air nozzle 75 mm (3 inches) from the attenuator end.
Caution: Do not use a cleaning stick to clean the attenuator.
Inspect: If you have problems after your patching is complete, first check the cleanliness of the patch cord by inspecting
the connector end faces with a fiber inspection microscope to verify that it is free of dirt, smudges and/or scratches.
NOTE: Though they are less effective than the method described above, tools that utilize non-reusable film instead of
alcohol can be of assistance when cleaning large quantities of fiber connectors. If this type of tool is selected, it is crucial
that the user advance the film after each connector is cleaned. Failure to advance the film after each cleaning will result
in re-contamination of the fiber. See Appendix B (in this document) for a listing of fiber cleaning products.

  STD: Patching Standard 
 
Cleaning LC Connector, Coupler and Attenuator
Clean connector ferrule with a lint-free wipe moistened with minimum 90% isopropyl alcohol and blow-dry with canned
air. Hold the canned air nozzle 75 mm (3 inches) from the ferrule. Clean the end and sides of the ferrule.
Clean tip of ferrule
Clean coupling by placing a cleaning stick (moistened with minimum 90% isopropyl alcohol) inside the coupling and
gently rotating. Blow-dry the coupling using canned air, holding the nozzle 75 mm (3 inches) from the coupling.
Warning: Do not try to clean the adapter with a standard cleaning stick because the LC’s sleeve inner diameter is too
small.
Clean attenuator by holding the canned air nozzle 75 mm (3 inches) from end of the attenuator. Blow air into each side of
the attenuator.
Caution: Do not use a cleaning stick to clean the attenuator.
Inspect: If you have problems after your patching is complete, first check the cleanliness of the patch cord by inspecting
the connector end faces with a fiber inspection microscope to verify that it is free of dirt, smudges and/or scratches.
NOTE: Though they are less effective than the method described above, tools that utilize non-reusable film instead of
alcohol can be of assistance when cleaning large quantities of fiber connectors. If this type of tool is selected, it is crucial
that the user advance the film after each connector is cleaned. Failure to advance the film after each cleaning will result
in re-contamination of the fiber. See Appendix B (in this document) for a listing of fiber cleaning products.

Cleaning the MPO Connector and MPO Adapter


Clean female or male MPO connector ferrule with a lint free wipe moistened with minimum 90% isopropyl alcohol and
blow dry with canned air, holding the nozzle 75 mm (3 inches) from the connector. Clean end and sides of ferrule.
Caution: Signal strength will be affected if ferrule is not thoroughly cleaned.
Warning: To prevent scratching the end face, always clean the MPO connectors with a cleaning motion from top to
bottom. Never clean the MPO connector by rubbing across it from side to side.
Clean adapter by wiping the inside surface with a stick cleaner (moistened with minimum 90% isopropyl alcohol). Blow
dry adapter using canned air, holding the nozzle 75 mm (3 inches) from the adapter.
If access to the adapter is only available from one side, use canned air to blow the inside of the adapter.
Inspect: If you have problems after your patching is complete, first check the cleanliness of the patch cord by inspecting
the connector end face with a fiber inspection microscope to verify that it is free of dirt, smudges and/or scratches.
NOTE: Though they are less effective than the method described above, tools that utilize non-reusable film instead of
alcohol can be of assistance when cleaning large quantities of fiber connectors. If this type of tool is selected, it is crucial
