(FTTX) network standards. To ensure this compliance du requires building developers to go through
a No Objection Certificate (NOC) process, to submit to sites inspections and to provide material
samples for testing. Please contact du for more details about the NOC process.
The guidance in this document is based on international standards and dus extensive experience in
offering telecommunications services. du always advises its clients to use qualified and certified
professionals in all aspects of telecommunication infrastructure design, installation and
commissioning.
It is recommended to engage with du at an early stage in any development so that process and
design issues can be explained. du welcomes questions from developers so that it can always offer
the best advice and information.
It is important to note that if a building developer or tenant has special needs or enhanced
requirements that may require modifications to these guidelines du must be consulted at the design
stage. In exceptional cases du may need to increase the requirements specified in this document to
be able to offer service.
This document covers the following building types:

and pathways. This could involve the installation of covers to cable trays; if this is the case these
covers must be removable to allow for the installation of additional cables.
General specifications
The walls, floor, and ceiling of telecom rooms must be finished so as to minimize dust and static
electricity. Walls and ceilings shall receive primer and finish coat of light colour paint.
A number of telecom rooms will be required in a building depending on the characteristics of the
building. The following room types are required and the details of these rooms are included in the
text below and summarised in Appendix 1.
In order to move equipment into and out of telecom rooms no access from outside of the building to
these rooms should be less than 900mm x 2100mm (WxH)
A telephone socket must be provided in each area of the telecom rooms wired to the building
telephone system.
The height measurements specified are the minimum finished clearance after taking into account
allowances for raised floors, overhead cable trays and any other obstructions. In the case that
overhead trays are used a minimum headroom access of 300mm is required above the tray.
All telecom rooms must comply with all municipality and national authority standards and
regulations; such as those issued by civil defence and utility companies. Notwithstanding this, it is
expected that following will be provided:
In multi-story buildings the telecom rooms should be vertical aligned and linked by a shared
containment system. This containment system must not reduce the minimum requested space.
All telecom spaces should be fitted with smoke detectors connected to the building
management system.
All telecom rooms must be dedicated to the use of du. The rooms must be easily accessible to du
personnel 24 hours a day and secured from unauthorised entry.
All telecom spaces should be fitted with normal and emergency lighting.
All containment openings to telecom spaces must be sealed with a regulation fire retardant
material.
All doors to telecom rooms must be of solid wood core or steel construction, fire retardant
with a minimum rating of 2 hours. All doors to telecom rooms must be outward opening with
an automatic door closer system fitted on the hinged edge.
All doors to telecom rooms must be labelled. Details of the labeling scheme are given in
Appendix 2.
The room must free from contaminants and pollutants as defined in Appendix 3.
All telecom rooms should have basic fire fighting provision of two handheld CO2 cylinder
type extinguishers.
Telecom rooms must not be in close proximity to any sources of the following:

Moisture
Corrosive atmospheric or environmental conditions
High voltages,
Radio frequency interference (RFI)
Electro-magnetic interference (EMI)
The rooms must not be directly beneath or next to wet areas such as:
Showers
Washrooms
Swimming pools
Garbage areas
If for any reason it is proposed that any part of a telecom room will be located below the water table
then this must be raised at the design stage. This situation will require a floor drain fitted with an
automatic submersible pump to counter any risk of water ingress.
The rooms should be clean and free from any items not directly related to the specifications in this
document such as:
To enable the building developer to design the air conditioning system the maximum heat
dissipation of the equipment in the various room types is given in Appendix 1
Whilst the detailed design of the air conditioning system is the responsibility of the building
developer the following design principles must be followed:
Equipment
Utility pipes
Cables
Sprinkler systems
Windows
Pests
All telecom spaces and pathways must be pest controlled using best available practices. In the case
of pests it should be noted that rodents often gnaw cables resulting in damage and the potential of
service disruption. Special attention should be given to preventing rodents entering telecom spaces
All the telecom rooms, with the exception of the floor telecom closets, must be provided with an air
conditioning system to main the temperature at 20C 3C and the relative humidity at 50% 10%.

The home consolidation cabinet is a space to house dus network termination equipment. It also
serves as the distribution point for all of the local wiring. A consolidation cabinet should be provided
in each home. This should be a telecom cabinet with the following minimum specifications:
In the case of a shell and core development one consolidation cabinet must be provided in each
floor telecom closet. The cabinet specifications are as follows:
When a tenant moves into a shell and core building it is expected that they will install consolidation
cabinets in each office or business area. The specifications of these consolidation cabinets are as
described in the previous section on office consolidation cabinets - commercial predefined rooms.
However these specifications may need to be increased to the meet tenants actual requirements.
The tenant may wish to provide their own telecom room space and extend the connectivity to the
cabinet in the floor telecom closet. Where UTP cables do need to terminate in the floor telecom
closet this must be on a wall mounted patch panel or termination block at a common point
accessible to du.
All installed cables must be properly routed inside the floor telecom closet to the desired destination
under a raised floor or in overhead cable trays. Additionally, an adequately sized cable tray system
must be installed to maintain connectivity between the cabinet and the wall mounted patch panel
where the UTP cables are terminated (see recommendations in Appendix 5).
In these types of cases the building tenants will need to discus the requirements with du at the time
of fit-out.

PATHWAYS
General Specifications
The horizontal containment for routing cables from the floor telecom closets to consolidation points
on the served floor can use a number of systems (conduits, cable trays, etc.). The solution will
depend on the characteristics of the building type; the specifications are given in Appendix 1.
Conduits must only be used when the consolidation point locations are permanent, the cable density
is low and the flexibility to modify the routing is not required. Specification for the size of this
containment is given in Appendix 5.
The containment system must be designed so that installed cables do not exceed the
minimum specified bend radius
All metal containment parts must be free from sharp edges and earth bonded
Telecom riser openings must be sealed with a suitable fire retardant material
Cable trays must be easily accessible in common areas to facilitate any future provision of
additional cables
Any cable trays that are in publically accessible areas less than 4.8m above the floor must
be covered
Containment systems must not run through areas exposed to excessive heat, moisture,
corrosive atmospheric or environmental conditions, high voltages, radio frequency
interference (RFI) or electro-magnetic interference (EMI)
For all containment systems a minimum separation must be maintained from sources of
electromagnetic interference. Further details are provided in Appendix 6.
The building developer may want to consider redundant containment systems, particularly in
commercial or prestigious developments. du must be contacted at the design stage to
discuss any such requirements.
It is recommended that the main telecom room and floor telecom closets should be designed so that
they are vertically aligned within the building.
Two cable trays, with the following minimum dimensions must be provided:
One of 500mm x 100mm (WxH) with Heavy Duty Return Flange (HDRF)
One of 300 mm x 100mm (WxH) with Heavy Duty Return Flange (HDRF)

ENTRY DUCTS
To deliver services from the consolidation points the building outlets unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
copper cables must be provided. The full design is the responsibly of the building developer,
however, the following minimum requirements must be followed for the efficient and effective
provision of services:
The building developer must provide lead-in ducts from the main telecom room to the plot boundary.
The exact connection points at the plot boundary will depend on whether du network already
reaches the plot.
Option 1 du duct network already exists
The cables must conform to a minimum of CAT6 specification (Category 6, 100 Ohm, 4 pair
24 AWG as specified in ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-B.2 Addendum 1)
The wiring must be in a star topology fanning out from the consolidation point.
Dual RJ45 outlets with spring load sliding shutters must be provided where ever service is
required (all outlets should comply with the performance specifications as detailed in
ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-B.2 Addendum 6.)
Each socket in the dual RJ45 outlet must be wired back to the consolidation point
Outlets must not be cascaded or looped and there must be no splitting of cable pairs
The maximum cable length from consolidation point to outlet must not exceed 90m
At the consolidation point the cables should be terminated on an RJ45 patch panel and
labelled with the socket and outlet served
In each outlet each cable must be terminated to maintain the twists in each pair up to within
5mm of the termination
Proper strain relief should be provided at the terminated ends of the cable
The components of the CAT6 system must be from the same supplier or at least compatible
to insure maximum performance
Design should incorporate built-in flexibility to meet the growing needs of the occupants.
The CAT6 cabling system must be tested using an appropriate field test instrument for
compliance with ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-B.2 Category 6 (or equivalent if a higher specification
has been used).
Numbering and colouring of the pairs should be as defined in EIA/TIA 568B, ISO 11801 /
EN50173 using the T568B option.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
The building developer will be responsible to connect to du ducting system. The operator will identify
the location and quantity of their lead-in ducts.
Option 2 du duct network is still to be built
The building developer will be responsible to extend the lead-in duct to 1m outside the plot
boundary. The building developer is responsible for locating and clearly identifying lead-in ducts.
In both cases the building developer will be responsible for the Maintenance and repair of lead-in
ducts.
The lead-in ducts will be for the exclusive use of du. The quantity and size of these ducts for
different kind of developments is detailed in Appendix 1.
The lead-in duct specifications are as follows:
Provision needs to be made for the connection of public phones, ATM machines and retail kiosks.
This must use the same design as that prescribed for commercial buildings; one fibre pair and a
CAT3 cable pair from the main telecom room to a business consolidation cabinet. The business
consolidation cabinet must be in a secure location. If CAT6 cable is extended to the location of the
public phone, ATM machine or retail kiosk it must not exceed 90m
It is the responsibility of the building developer / consultant to coordinate with du at the design stage
for any special or non-standard requirements.
In case of combined plots, two entry locations are still required for primary and secondary network
connections. (This will be advised by du at the design stage)

OCCUPANCY SENSORS
How does an occupancy sensor work?
The general answer is that occupancy sensors work by detecting human presence or
activity. The specific answer is that occupancy sensors use one or more of three
different technologies to detect or "sense" human presence and/or activity.
The most common technology is passive infrared (PIR). A PIR sensor works by
sending out invisible infrared beams that read or respond to temperature differences.
If there is no one in the range of the sensor the sensor does not respond. When a
warmer object, such as a human body, crosses two or more beams the sensor responds
to the difference in temperature between the person and the background. This is the
technology used in basic security sensors. In the case of a basic security sensor, there
will be typically 4 - 10 beams which mean each beam is fairly wide. This is why you
can sometimes walk directly towards a security sensor and nothing happens. It is
because you are moving within one beam and not crossing two beams. Only when
you cross at least two beams will the sensor activate.
In modern PIR occupancy sensors there can be over 1400 individual beams which
make them much more responsive to small movements such as sitting at a desk and
typing on a keyboard. PIR works very well in most commercial environments and can
detect at a long range, up to 40 meters, in warehouses and underground car parks. PIR
has several limitations, however; it requires line of sight and will not read through any
material including glass. In addition, PIR does not work well in extremely warm
environments as it cannot distinguish between the temperature of the human body and
the background.
The second common technology is microphonics. As the name implies, occupancy
sensors that incorporate microphonics work by picking up noise that is typical of
human occupancy or activity. Advanced microphonics sensors incorporate Automatic
Gain Control (AGC) and can "learn" background noises such as the steady hum of a
central air conditioner or the sound of a circulating fan. They are also sensitive
enough to pick up sounds typical of human activity such as typing on a keyboard,
talking on the phone, a phone ringing, tapping on a desk, a chair squeaking, walking
on a wood floor and numerous other sounds that are typically generated by human
presence or activity. Microphonics type sensors do not require line of sight and can
hear around corners. This type of sensor works very well in large open plan office and
commercial areas as they can cover a large area without having to "see" all of it. The
limitation of microphonics sensors is that they do not work in very noisy
envorinments such as a factory or where a recurring noise not necessarily related to
human activity such as a TV that stays on in the background or an individual, window
type air conditioner that comes on and off whether there is a person in the room or
not.
The third common tecnnology is high frequency (HF) ultrasound or ultrasonics
sensors. HF works exactly the same as a bat's "radar" or a submarine's "sonar." The
sensor sends out a high frequency sound wave that bounces around the space and
returns to the sensor. Any movement that disturbs the wave activates the sensor. HF
sensors can be very sensitive and can read through many materials including the
most commonly used interior construction materials and glass. From a human
occupancy standpoint, HF's big limitation is that it responds to any motion, not just
File: ELECSPEC16511.doc
Page 2 of 3
ELEC/SPEC.16511.
human presence. For example, an open window and rustling curtains or a moving
window shade or, in an office environment a piece of paper coming out of a printer,
can activate an HF sensor even if no one is there.
To enhance the strengths and minimize the limitations of each of the three
technologies, sensor manufacturers sometimes combine technologies in "dual
technology" sensors that typically include a combination of PIR and either
microphonics or HF.
The most important issue for a successful occupancy sensor installation is to
understand the strengths and limitations of each type of sensor and to choose the
appropriate sensor for the application. Occupancy sensors can save significant
amounts of energy and take the human factor out of remembering to turn off the
lights, the air conditioner and any other equipment that only needs to be on when
there is human presence.
