Installation Steps
• Cable Pulling
o Pull Fiber and CAT6A Cables as per the approved shop drawings and in line with the approved
method statement.
o Make sure while pulling the cables that the pathways are free from sharp bends and turns.
o Make sure that the manufacturers recommended pulling tension and minimum bend radius shall
not be exceeded.
o Use of cable lubricants as when deemed necessary will significantly reduce friction and speed us
cable installation especially within conduits.
o Use temporary labelling for identification while pulling.
o Raise WIR for the Cable Pulling for Consultant approval.
• Cable Termination
o Cable termination involves the organizing of cables by destination, forming and dressing cables,
and labelling, as well as actually creating a connection with a copper or fibre conductor.
o Cable termination preparation not only improves the quality of the job but also decreases the
amount of time required for termination.
o The performance of pre-termination functions involves organizing the cable by destination. Cable
to be terminated should be placed at the point of termination and must also be identified to
ensure it is terminated in the designated position. Cable connection is not complete until all
terminations are identified and labelled.

• Field Side Cable Termination

o Label the Cables as per approved labelling scheme which is to be approved / provided by
Consultant/Client.
 o Height shall be maintained from finish floor level of conduits and enclosure as per approved shop
drawings.
o Make sure that the Back Boxes and Face Plate are available as per project requirement and
approved shop drawings (to be provided by MEP).
o Remove only as much cable jacket as is required for termination and trimming.
o Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for mounting, termination, and cable management.
o Minimize the amount of untwisting in a pair as a result of termination to connecting hardware.
For untwisting cabling, maintain pair twists as close as possible to the termination point.
• IDF / MDF Room Cable Termination
o Clean all wires using dry piece of cloth and air blower.
o Main Contractor to ensure that rooms are dust free and all the construction works are concluded.
o Install Rack and passive accessories required from termination and cable arrangement such patch
panels and cable manager in the IDF room as per AFC IDF and MDF Room Drawings and make
sure the Cable Trays and Stand/Raised Floor for the rack are available.
o Termination of the cables into the patch panels.
o Testing the cable for continuity using Wire Map Tester.
o Testing the cables with Fluke Machine.
o Label the Cables as per approved labelling scheme which is to be approved / provided by
Consultant/Client.
o Raise WIR for IDF/MDF Room Termination.
• Camera Installation
o Thoroughly review the information provided in Safety Guidelines and Warnings of the products.
o The drawings for the CCTV Systems are to be submitted and need to have taken the approval
before the installation.
o Video Signal quality has to be confirmed at every camera.
o The installation of the cameras, camera enclosures, camera domes with pan/tilt are to be in
accordance with approved schematic diagram and approved equipment submission.
o Make sure that the cameras are clean and there are no signs of damage and tampering.
o The camera mounting bracket is to be properly fixed on the wall or under the ceiling.
o The cameras are to be fixed, aligned and focused according to the eventual shop drawings.
o All the dome cameras are to be mounted on the ceiling or on wall or pendent in accordance with
the approved shop drawings.
o All the bullet cameras are to be mounted on the walls or on poles in accordance with the approved
shop drawings.
o All work at height should be carried out using a proper scaffolding work platform, erected by
competent scaffold inspectors.
• Active Component Installation
o Main Contractor to ensure that rooms are dust free and all the construction works are concluded.
o Main contractor shall ensure that the final paint is concluded and the rooms are to be handed
over confirming all the MEP related works are concluded.
o Make sure that equipment racks are connected to the building ground.
o Take necessary precautions to avoid Electrostatic Discharge.
o Install the active components inside the racks as per the AFC IDF and MDF Room Rack Layout
Drawings including Switches, Servers, Storage.
o Do cable patching from Patch Panels to the Active components and between the Active
Components using Fibre and Copper Patch Leads.
o Install Control room Workstation and monitors including video wall screens.
o Video Management Software is to be installed and configured on the Server.
o End user training and handing over of the system.
 o Label the Active Components and Patch Leads as per approved labelling scheme which is to be
approved / provided by Consultant/Client.

Manufacturer Recommendation
• Respect the installation bend radius of the cable. Never exceed the recommended maximum pulling
load of the cables.
• Cables must be selected and installed following the environmental classification of operation of the
product with appropriate containment and installation technique.
• Provide proper earth bonding for the Equipment Racks.
• If the installation is a mixture of copper and fibre optic cabling install the copper cabling first.
• Plan the occupation of cabling in the containment and along the route so that crossovers are
eliminated and entry points into and exits from the containment are not congested.
• Protect the edges of the basket or tray before starting to install the cable to ensure no damage is
caused.
• Ensure that the edges of the tray or basket have a bend radius that exceeds the installation Bend
Radius of the cable concerned.
• Over tightening of the screws should be avoided when installation the equipment.
• Use protective caps on unplugged optical ports to prevent dust from contaminating them. Missing
this can cause them to get accidentally damaged.
• Ensure that the optimal temperature and humidity levels are maintained in the installation and
storage areas of the installation sites. In addition, see the installation guides that support specific data
networking equipment for the minimum and maximum allowed values for temperature and humidity.
