Contractor shall notify the Owner prior to commencement of any installation not meeting the 295 -foot maximum distance limitation. 2. UTP cabling must conform to a 6 -foot separation requirement from main power panels, switch gear and/or starter motors and transformers. 3. All power feeds crossing the path of the UTP cables at right angles must be a minimum of 12 inches in distance from the UTP cables. A minimum of 36" for power line greater than 5 WA. 4. UTP cables shall be installed a minimum of 12 inches from fluorescent lighting. 5. The cables shall be placed at a minimum of 18 inches above the ceiling. 6. The cables are to be as accessible as possible. 7. All conduit installation must meet all local and state building codes. 8. Debris, boxes, leftover cables, and trash must be removed from construction sites daily. Area must be left broom clean at the end of each day. No debris or work material may be left in areas that have student access unless the affected area is marked with cones, tape, or temporary fencing. 9. Pull conductors together where more than one is being installed in a raceway. Cable bundles supported by J -hooks, cable trays, in suspension systems, or on wallboards must be strapped together every 4 feet. Strapping to any other wires (e.g. lighting ceiling grid, etc.) will not be permitted. Station wire cannot be attached to electrical conduit, gas or sprinkler piping, or other code -restricted items. 10. Use pulling compound when necessary; pulling compound must be a water -base pulling lubricant that will not deteriorate cable or conduit. 11. No cabling is allowed to rest on any ceiling the or suspension system unless specifically authorized by the Owner. 12. All cable/cabling shall be kept 30 inches away from any heat source; i.e., steam valves, etc. 13. Cables shall be pulled free of sharp bends, kinks, twists, or impact damage to the sheath. 14.

Cable mountings on backboards will be installed efficiently, to minimize the backboard space consumed. All cables will be routed at right angles, in accordance with the bend radius specifications for the type of cable being routed. 22. Conduit runs installed by the Contractor shall not exceed 100 feet or contain more than two 90 -degree bends without utilizing appropriately sized pull -boxes. All conduits shall be left with and installed pull -rope to enable future cable installation. 23. The Contractor shall provide a #3/0 AWG stranded copper wire cable between ground bars located in each TC, and the main building service ground point. Horizontal cables and equipment shall be grounded in compliance with 2013 CEC. 3.4 CABLING ON EXISTING OR SOLID WALL: A.
