September 30, Discussed Today FL4 “FUN” History Project Scope Schedule Cabling Media Issues

September 30, Foothills Lab 4 Building

September 30, History – The “FUN” Project Project Completed in 12/1999 Cable installed Two 4-pair Telephone cables Four Category 5 Cables Two Pair of 62.5um Fiber Infrastructure Outlets were installed with ¾” conduit single runs to the Telecom Room or Vert. Chase

September 30, Typical Siemon MMO Outlet

September 30, Siemon MMO Fiber Tray & Routing

September 30, Telecom Room FL4-1012

September 30, Re-cabling Project Scope Install cabling to meet GigE and beyond standards Reuse as much existing infrastructure as possible Have the cabling meet the networking need for at least the next 10 years Budgeted amount for project is $110,000 Individual group’s computer rooms are not in scope

September 30, Re-cabling Schedule Coordinates logical sections of the building Must be in sequence with other infrastructure work Works with occupants schedules Work Zones Would be different than 1999 project Consolidation locations require larger areas Even though areas are larger, same two week period could be used since no infrastructure work is needed

September 30, Second Floor

September 30, Third Floor

September 30, Telecom Room Preparation Larger cable, larger cable management Racks need to be moved New panels will have different density No need for telephone punch-down blocks

September 30, Proposed Construction Schedule 12/1-1/2 - Prepare FL Telecom Room - Total: 126 Outlets 1/5-1/30 - East First Floor = 46 Outlets 2/2-2/27 - East Second Floor = 34 Outlets 3/2-3/27 - East Third Floor = 46 Outlets 3/30-4/24 - Prepare FL Telecom Room - Total: 127 Outlets 4/27-5/22 - West First Floor = 41 Outlets 5/25-6/19 - West Second Floor = 43 Outlets 6/22-7/17 - West Third Floor = 43 Outlets

September 30, Network Cabling Selection Infrastructure Constraints Cabling Media No need for dedicated phone lines High performance optical fiber Highest performance copper media Standard Category copper media

September 30, Copper Cabling Choices Copper Limits Copper Evaluation Criteria: size, performance, termination ease, reusability Termination Hardware Criteria: compatibility with existing hardware, performance, termination ease Cable & Termination Hardware “Bake-Off” Planned Final cabling media test in FL4

September 30, Evaluation Schedule Selection by Oct. 31 Working with vendors for material delivery

September 30, Final Project Preparation Schedule discussion with FL4 NCAB – Network media installed 11/08 – Telecom Rooms preparation 11/08 – Infrastructure fixes
