Scope
This document exists to assist design teams in planning for a where a new or refurbished
communications room, fibre or copper infrastructure may be required whether as part of a new
building or a refurbishment. It also contains specification elements for where additions to an existing
communications room are required.
This document is a specification and not a design, the design team(s) for the project must translate
these specifications into a final design for approval by ISS.
This document must be read in conjunction with the latest ISS Cabling Specification and
commissioning specification.
Document Location
The most recent version of this document can always be found at
http://www.lancs.ac.uk/iss/network/physinfstandards/
Change Control
Upon each revision of this document, it will be issued to those named on page one. It is the
responsibility of each design team to ensure that they are using the most recent revision of the
document. If a new revision is released prior to tender stage then it is expected that the design shall
be modified to take account of the most recent specification. Any changes post-tender stage shall
only be required following a change control request from ISS.
Decision Points & Exceptions
This document is a guidance note on the minimum requirements from ISS; all key design decision
points should be discussed and accepted by ISS; as a minimum these should include.
Location & Size of Communications Room(s)
Fibre & Duct Routes
Position of Wireless Access Point Locations
Any deviations from this document should be agreed in writing by ISS.
Should the Contractor identify any discrepancies between this specification and any design package,
this shall immediately be drawn to the attention of ISS. For the purpose of any pricing, the
Contractor shall allow for the most onerous services installation to meet the requirements.
Recommended Models
Where a recommended model is specified within the text of this document it is made either on the
basis of a technical evaluation or procurement exercise. Where available, datasheets for
recommended items are reproduced in appendix A. Any substitutions for the recommended models
should be requested in writing and approved by ISS.

Norms
ISS do not mandate the number of lines to be installed within a building, this should come from
discussions between the building users and design team and captured in room data sheets, however
a useful recommendation is two datalines per occupant of an office or open-plan area. There will
also be datalines required in public areas to accommodate printers, ad-hoc use, wireless, AV installs,
expansion etc. ISS will advise on a case-by-case basis.
Installation Standards
All components installed must be installed, as a minimum, to the manufacturers recommended
standards. Where the ISS Specification(s) have a more stringent installation standard then they will
take precedence over those of the manufacturer.
Communications (Comms) Room(s)
It is acknowledged that the positioning and size of a comms room is complex, in that an indicative
size and location is required in early-stage design however the firm parameters required to fix the
comms room are generally then not defined until later design stages.
Communications Room
Specifications v2f
6 | P a g e

Location
The comms room must be located so that the maximum electrical length of datalines emanating
from it do not exceed 90.0 metres. It is strongly preferred that the number of comms rooms within a
building is minimised. Where more than one comms room is required, one room will be designated
a primary comms and the others secondary.
All comms rooms within a building must be located so that they are accessed from a corridor or
public space. It must not be necessary to access another space such as an office, meeting room or
plant room in order to access the comms room, equally, access to other spaces must not be via the
comms room.
Use
The comms room must only be used for the housing of ISS Networking equipment used to support
the delivery of network services to the building. For the avoidance of doubt this excludes anything
not in the list below unless approved in writing from ISS;
Data Cabinets CAT6 Cabling CAT6 Patch Panels
Fibre Cabling Fibre Patch Panels UPS
Data Switches CW1308 Cabling Voice Panels

Security
The comms room must be fitted with a Grovsenor/Janus IDCe access control system (please refer to
the ISS Access Control Specifications for full details).
The comms room should be fitted with an Abloy EL560 lock mechanism configured to fail secure, no
fire alarm interlink is required. A lock barrel from the ISS Comms room suite (suite 689) should be
fitted within the EL560, four keys should be supplied with each lock. No vision panel should be fitted
to the door. The room should be fitted with at least one heat/smoke detector connected to the main
building fire alarm system.
Size
The size of the comms room is a function of the number of lines that will be fed back to the room in
the finished building. Each cabinet can house a maximum of 384 datalines, plus one additional
cabinet footprint is required for expansion. The cabinets in use are 800mm wide x 1000mm deep so
by knowing the number of datalines to be installed, the minimum size of the comms room can be
calculated

The clearances in the drawing above should be clear space within the room; any protrusions into the
room such as boxed in girders should be deducted from the available space. The door opening and
delivery route to the room should be sized to allow the delivery of an 800 mm wide x 2.2 metre high
cabinet without tilting.
Finishes
Walls must be painted white or cream.
Floors should be low dust, anti-static. Carpets will not be accepted. Where a raised floor is in use,
pre-finished vinyl tiles should be installed.
Lighting
The room should be provided with high-temperature fluorescent lighting to provide 500lux at floor
level. Fittings should be positioned parallel to the front and rear of the rack so as to provide good
working illumination front and rear of the rack.
All light fittings must be installed below any high-level containment, ductwork or other installations.
If the lights are controlled by motion sensors the number and position should be such that full room
coverage is provided for a single person working at any position or elevation within the room.
Manual light switches must be located adjacent to the entry door; they must not be located to the
hinge side of the door opening. Emergency lighting must be provided within the room.
Environmental
The room will house UPSs containing sealed lead-acid batteries which require controlled
environmental conditions and so must be controlled to a minimum temperature of 18C and a
maximum of 24.0C with a humidity range of 15% - 95.0% non-condensing. The anticipated heat load
Communications Room
Specifications v2f

per cabinet is estimated to be 2kW. Where air-conditioning is provided, duty-only is required and
units must be installed so as to deliver cooled air to the front face of the cabinet(s).
Power
Each cabinet must be provided with 2no 16A commando socket to BSEN 60309 on a dedicated
circuit, to be protected by 2no 16A Type C MCB. Each pair of sockets feeding a single cabinet must
be fed by a readily accessible 4-pole rotary isolator switch providing simultaneous isolation to both
sockets. The isolator switch is to be located on the wall immediately behind each cabinet.
It is preferred that sockets are located at high-level above the rear of each cabinet and not
obstructed by basket, tray work or other services.
In addition to the commando sockets, 4no general sockets should be provided to the perimeter of
the room to provide general power; these should be provisioned from the building general ring.
Earthing
Adjacent to each pair of power sockets outlet a copper earth bonding bar with a minimum of 4
unused M8 hex-headed bolt attachment points must be provided. Each earth bar must be
individually bonded back to the mains distribution point that feeds the 16 amp sockets.
Acoustics
The room will house equipment which will emit noise, coordination is required between the design
team to mitigate the transference of this noise to surrounding areas, as a guide each cabinet to be
installed in the room will contain the following equipment.
Equipment Qty Noise Output (each)
Edge Switch 8 53.5 dBA,
Aggregation Switch 2 55dBA
UPS 1 53dBA
Cabinets
Cabinets installed must be Rittal IT Cabinet, 800mm wide x 1000mm deep x 42U high with 78%
perforated wardrobe doors front and rear. The cabinet must be supplied with the internal earth
bonding kit and bar. Cabinets must be installed in a line and bayed together with a divider panel
between each cabinet. Side panels at the end of the row must be fitted. All components of the
cabinet including doors, rails and side panels must be bonded to the earth bar.

UPS
Each cabinet must be supplied with a UPS; the performance specification of the UPS should be;
Capacity of 3000VA
On-line, double conversion
At least 30 mins runtime at 1000W load
8 C13, 2 C19 Outlets
Fitted with a SNMP Management card providing temperature and humidity monitoring.
3U high, rack mounted.
The batteries, as supplied must be less than 6 months from date of manufacture.
The UPS should be fitted with a 16A commando input plug. The UPS should be installed into the
cabinet and connected to one of the provided 16A sockets.
The current model recommended by ISS is an APC SURTD3000RMXLI fitted with an AP9631.
Power Distribution
Each cabinet must be provided with a power distribution unit (PDU). This should provide 20 C13 and
4 C19 outlets, be fed via a C20 input plug and provide an IP-enabled power meter. The PDU should
be zero-U vertically mounting.
The current model recommended by ISS is an Eaton PW104MI0UB97
Fibre
Depending on the size, location and purpose of the building, the building may require to be
connected to the Campus Halo, a network of fibre duct running around the perimeter road.
Alternatively, the building may connect to an adjacent building that is connected to the Halo. This
decision needs to be taken in early stage discussions with ISS so that appropriate designs can be
taken for duct routes into the building.
Option 1 Halo Fibre
The building will need to connect to the Halo ductwork (see duct & subduct sections below). Into
this ductwork the building needs to connect to the following locations.
Faraday Building LA31
ISS Building B18
The fibre installed should be a hybrid, 96 core OS1 G.652, 24 core OM2 loose tube, 12f per tube
internal/external grade cable. The current cable recommended by ISS is Brand Rex
HF(96x008+24x050)S120WLU.
One cable will use a clockwise direction around the Halo to get to its destination location; the other
will use an anti-clockwise direction. Routes and subduct allocations will be advised by ISS.
Communications Room
Specifications v2f
11 | P a g e

Termination
Termination of the fibre must be performed by fusion splicing onto factory-manufactured pigtails.
In the Faraday and ISS building locations, the fibre will be terminated into pre-existing Optical
Distribution frames (ODF). The contractor should supply an appropriate number of SpliceUK 24f LC
splicing cassettes to install into the ODF, (note: cassettes are ordered in right and left-handed
orientation. The space allocated for the project in the ODF must be confirmed with ISS so that the
correct cassettes can be specified)
In the comms room, a SpliceUK 6U chassis should be installed to terminate the fibre along with an
appropriate quantity of 24f LC cassettes.
Please see the testing section below for details of testing required on all fibres installed.
Option 2 Link to Adjacent Building
The building will connect to an adjacent building specified by ISS (note: this option will only be used
for very small buildings where a Halo connection is not appropriate).
Between the new comms room and an existing comms room identified by ISS, SpliceUK 7-tube, f-
tube microduct should be installed. This should then be populated with 24f OM3 and 24f OS1. In
the new comms a 3U SpliceUK chassis with an appropriate number of 24f LC cassettes should be
installed. In the existing comms, it may be possible to utilise an existing SpliceUK chassis only
requiring to provide an appropriate number of 24f LC cassettes, or if insufficient space is available
then a new 3U SpliceUK chassis will be required.
Please see the testing section below for details of testing required on all fibres installed.
Internal Building Fibres
Where there is more than one comms room within a building, one shall be designated by ISS as
primary and the others secondary. The primary comms will be connected to the Halo using option 1
above, then the secondary comms will connect to the primary comms using option 2 above.
Fire Alarm Fibres
A SpliceUK 4-tube f-tube microduct should be installed from the Comms room to the main Gent
Vigilon fire alarm panel to allow it to be linked to the fibre network. This should be populated with 8f
OM2 fibres.
In the comms room, there may be capacity in the newly installed chassis to accommodate a 24f LC
tray to terminate the fibre onto; otherwise a new SpliceUK chassis will be required. At the fire alarm
end, an appropriate proprietary housing should be used to then allow patch leads of a length no
longer than 3 metres to be routed to the fire alarm panel. This item will require close coordination
with the architect so as to meet aesthetic requirements of the building entrance whilst maintaining
easy access for future maintainability. The current recommended panel to be used adjacent to the
Fire Alarm panel is the Optibox4 by Huber & Suhner.
Labelling
Where the fibre or F-Tube passes through a barrier, riser opening and immediately prior to entry
into the ODF the fibre/sub-duct should be clearly labelled with the A and B end of the fibre with an
Communications Room
Specifications v2f
12 | P a g e

engraved traffolyte label, black text on yellow background and comply with regulations BS EN60079-
25 for all labels.

The splice cassettes in both comms room chassis and Datacentre ODF should be labelled with the
source of the fibre and the fibre numbers contained within they tray, fibre numbers should always
count-up starting at the rear of the tray.

Testing
Newly installed and spliced optical fibre cable must be tested and the tabulated results supplied to
ISS prior to witness testing. Test results must be emailed to networking-testresults@lancaster.ac.uk.
A copy of the in date calibration certificates for each piece of test equipment used must also be
supplied. Each individual fibre must be tested with both an OTDR and calibrated light source/power
meter (ILM). Testing of each individual fibre must be carried out from both ends of the fibre. For
OTDR testing where the fibre length is less than 3km in length the pulse width used for testing must
be 3ns or less.
High quality fibre patch leads of the correct modal type must be used for all testing, the connectors
of which must be cleaned before each insertion with a Cletop-s or similar proprietary device. During
OTDR testing high quality launch and receive leads of the correct modal type must be used at the
appropriate ends of the fibre under test, the connectors these leads must be cleaned prior to each
insertion with a Cletop-s or similar proprietary device.
Multi mode fibre must be tested at both of 850nm 1300nm.
Single mode fibre must be tested at both 1310nm 1550nm.
Current calibration certificates for each piece of equipment used must be supplied. The calibration
must have been performed by a manufacturer-approved calibration centre.
The tabulated results must be presented in a common spreadsheet format and must include as a
minimum:
Serial number of testers used.
Fibre type.
Number of connectors. (Normally 2)
Number of splices. (Normally 2)
Fibre length km (from OTDR measurement).
Manufacturers quoted loss figures for each of the test wavelengths as detailed above,
dB/km.

For each wavelength, loss budget for fibre under test (total allowed connector loss + total
allowed splice loss+ (measured length in km * manufacturers quoted loss figures for each of
the test wavelengths as detailed above, dB/km))
For each fibre and each wavelength.
Fibre identification (fibre number and type (sm or mm)).

Additionally, the OTDR traces should be provided.
Test Limits
At all times the maximum individual splice loss must be less than or equal to 0.250dB.
At all times individual connector loss must be less than or equal to 0.50dB and must be
repeatable across multiple remove insert cycles.
Return loss for single mode connections must be greater than or equal to 26.0dB with a
mean average value of 50.0dB.
Return loss for multi-mode connections must be greater than or equal to 20.0dB with an
mean average value of 30.0dB
Return loss per splice must be greater than or equal to 40.0dB.
Example Test Spreadsheet
An example sheet of test results is available at
http://www.lancs.ac.uk/iss/network/physinfstandards/fibre-testing-example.xlsx
Ductwork
Where the building is required to connect to the Halo infrastructure, then new ductwork will be
required, this will comprise of main duct and associated subduct.
Main Duct
The Halo infrastructure runs around the perimeter road and down selected avenues on Campus. ISS
will identify an appropriate interconnection point on the Halo for the building to link to. A new
section consisting of 2no main ducts will be required from the building to the nominated connection
point, this should include any required turning or pulling chambers. The duct provided must be
suitable for subducting so care must be taken at any point of change of direction to ensure that the
minimum bend radius of the subduct can be satisfied.
The main duct used in the Halo is Emtelle Solidwall uPVC duct 96.5 outside diameter, 90mm inside
diameter, colour green.
Communications Room
Specifications v2f
14 | P a g e

The bends used on this ductwork must be suitable for 4-way subducting, the sharpest bends used
must be 22.5 over a length of 700mm, such that the minimum bend radius for the subduct is not
exceeded. Only full lengths proprietary bends suitable for use as part of the ductwork system will be
acceptable i.e. used as supplied and not cut or modified.
Any ductwork installed should be brushed, and then tested with a dumbbell mandrel with a
diameter of 7% less than the duct immediately following installation and prior to subducting. This
process must be made available for witness testing by ISS.
Any main duct not subducted should be provided with a draw rope.
The Halo duct systems, either existing or installed as part of a project are only to be used to carry ISS
fibre infrastructure.
Subduct
One of the two main ducts installed to the building must be subducted with 4-way subduct. The
subduct used in the Halo is Emtelle 32mm outside diameter, 27mm inside diameter in colours;
orange, green, blue, black. Each subduct should be provided with a draw rope. Once installed, all
subduct sections should be coupled-through with aluminium screw-on couplers. Unused subducts
must be capped.
It may be necessary for the project to subduct a section of the main Halo; this requirement should
be discussed and agreed with ISS early in project design.
Chambers
Any chambers used for pulling or turning should be standard BT F6, F10 or their carriageway
equivalent. Chambers must be constructed of in-situ poured concrete. Pre-cast or plastic chambers
are not acceptable. Chamber frames and lids appropriate to the expected traffic loading must be
fitted. Diagrams of common chambers can be found in the appendices.
All ducts entries into chambers should either be cast or core-drilled in. A 25mm space both
horizontally and vertically should exist around each duct entering a chamber. Ducts should enter
chambers at right angles to the wall. Care should be taken when selecting entry and exit points to a
chamber to ensure the minimum bend radius of the subduct within the chamber can be satisfied.
When it is necessary to drop a chamber onto an existing section of the Halo Infrastructure, it must
only be done when that route is agreed with ISS and the works to create that chamber must be
coordinated with, and performed by a contractor approved by ISS to ensure minimal risk to the live
services contained within the existing chamber.
CW1308 Copper
A suitably-rated 100 pair cable to either BT specification CW1308 or CW1308b as appropriate should
be installed to the comms room from the nearest main metallic distribution point (DP) advised by
ISS. The cable must be installed as a single continuous run, with no joints. The conductor in the
cable must be solid 0.5mm copper, jelly-filled cables must not be used, the earth continuity
conductor must be connected to the common earth block at both the originating and supplied DP.
Communications Room
Specifications v2f
15 | P a g e

Within the comms room this should be installed onto an Austin Taylor 108A double vertical frame
(AT-108A) with Krone 237A disconnect terminal strips.
At the MDF location, the cable should be terminated onto Krone 237A disconnect terminal strips to
be installed into an existing frame or housing, or a new 108A vertical frame or other appropriate
housing as advised by ISS may be required. One Krone 237A disconnect strip with screw terminals
(7004 2 001-01) should be provided on the frame installed at the bottom position of the cabinet-
bound circuits vertical to facilitate connection of circuits not suitable for IDC termination.
From the vertical frame in the comms room, 2no 25 pair cables should be taken to each cabinet,
both in the primary and secondary comms rooms. One vertical on the frame should be designated
to inbound circuits, and the other designated to the cabinet-bound circuits, modules should be
installed beginning at the base of each vertical, pair 1 is bottom-left. These should be terminated
onto Krone 237A terminal strips on the frame and onto 1u, 24 port voice panels in each of the
cabinets layout as per the drawing above.
Note, only original Krone parts will be accepted.
The pair-layout and colour coding used must conform to CW1308 specifications (see datasheets).
Labelling
Where the telephone cable passes through a barrier, riser opening and immediately prior to entry
into the DP the cable should be clearly labelled with an engraved traffolyte label, white text on red
background and comply with regulations BS EN60079-25 for all labels, text of label will be advised by
ISS.

Each Krone disconnection module must be fitted with a label holder and labelled, labels must be
printed, black text on white background and not handwritten, text for labels to be advised by ISS.
Testing
The Contractor should provide a certificate of compliance to BS6701 Parts 1 and 2 upon completion
of the cabling scheme
The Contractor should undertake a 100% test of all cable pairs. The results must be supplied as a
spread sheet or .csv file. Cable pair tests shall be made to ascertain the following:
Loop resistance < 200/km
Correct Labelling;
CAT6 Cabling
Category 6 cabling is now the standard to be used on all installations. Designers and installers
should refer to the ISS cabling specification for details.
Communications Room
Specifications v2f
16 | P a g e

Wireless
Wireless networking must be provided in any new building or refurbishment. Close coordination is
required with ISS to arrange positions of wireless access points dependent on ceiling, wall and floor
treatments but for early-stage design, one wireless point should be allowed for every 90M
2
of open
floor area.
ISS aim to make the wireless network installation as unobtrusive as possible, however the wireless
access points incorporate an antenna and any attempt to cover this will degrade the signal strength.
For each wireless access point location, a single CAT6 dataline should be terminated in a 50mm deep
single pattress box (surface or flush mounted). The pattress should be 150mm from the soffit and
have 150mm clear on all other sides, 75mm clearance should be available to the front with no
metallic materials in front. ISS then mount the wireless access point over the pattress, covering it.
The only equipment in view is then the wireless access point.

Cable entry via conduit coupler to ensure that
fixing is by male bush exiting the patress box

Cable entry to be offset from fixing screw
position to prevent subsequent damage to cable

Cabling Systems - Solutions for Data Centres
How do you meet the ever expanding demands
placed upon your physical network? Simple, f-tube
offers a complete future proof solution. By simply installing
a tube network within your data centre not only can meet
your current demands but you also create an environment
where expansion, upgrades and replacements are effortless.
The installation of a tubing infrastructure will ensure the
network can accommodate any future demands placed
upon it.
is for future
www.f-tube.com
How do you manage the huge connectivity
demands of a modern SAN environment?
Simple, f-tube offers a complete range of innovative
fibre management solutions that easily facilitate
the high connectivity demands of fibre growth
within your data centre.
is for fibre management
How can you ensure your network is flexible?
Simple, f-tube allows you to create and maintain
connective flexibility in an expending and
dynamic data centre environment.
is for flexibilty
How can you quickly expand your network with
minimum risk and disruption? Simple. F-tube by
its very nature allows you to rapidly deploy addition
connectivity without effecting the existing fibres as
they are accommodated within separate tubes
therefore negating any risk. Not only is it easy to add
new connectivity its also just as easy to remove
redundant fibres.
is for fast expansion
The solution for data centres
is for f-tube
Its the Complete Solution,
but how does f-tube work?
CABLI NG SYSTEMS
Ease of installation
The tube infrastructure is as simple to install as
any conventional cable network. The tube can be
installed on standard cable tray or cable basket,
this means you can adopt this solution to either
greenfield sites or when adding to an existing
infrastructure.
Point of presence
The presentation at the servers can be adapted
dependant on the density and layout, but by
deploying the f-tube solution you minimise
channel loss, reduce points of failure and maintain
the full flexibility of the solution.
www.f-tube.com
Central Patching Frame
The heart of the solution is the Central Patching Frame
(CPF). This solution has been designed to accommodate
high fibre counts with a dedicated area for routing
and managing patchcords. This makes the system both
effortless to work on and very serviceable.
The innovating high density design allows you to
replace multiple conventional racks with a single frame.
Modular by Design
The modular design allows you to quickly action
moves, adds and changes ensuring ease of access
to any connection and also helps you adopt a Pay
as You Grow strategy. The scalability of the
system means you can install additional frames
whilst maintaining complete flexibility allowing
you to connect any service to the SAN.
The modular cassette system allows passive optical
devices such as: splitters, taps and filters to be
easily integrated into the system.
The CPF allows you to connect anything to
anything:
Server/equipment distribution
Panel design/management
PreTerminated Solution
or Cabling the SAN switch
The Pre-terminated cables provides the high density
fibre count required whilst the management bay
situated directly below the switch offers complete
accessibility allowing you to load and re-load your
infrastructure with minimum disruption to the
existing network. This method of growth means
its much easier remove the old cabling, thus no
redundant fibres are left in place.
CABLI NG SYSTEMS
The solution is designed to maximise accessibility and
manageability, even when a blade or chassis is fully
populated. Consequently, the removal of an entire blade
is as quick and simple as the removal of a single
connector.
Each pre-terminated fibre can be installed or removed
independently to the rest of the network, reducing risk
and network disruption. This will minimise channel loss
and possible points of failure.
The pre-terminated solution offers the quality and
durability of a factory terminated connection whilst the
compact design delivers unprecedented fibre density at
the network equipment location.
f-tube in action!
Ease of accessibility
Modular by design
High density
www.f-tube.com
The Splice Cassette system offers a completely modular
solution. This makes changing fibre specifications or
adding additional connectivity as simple as sliding in a
cassette. These same cassettes will also accommodate
passive optical devices that can be slotted directly into
the frame.
The Central Patching Frame design allows complete
access to all connections. A standard length patchcord
will connect any circuit to any circuit, making the
installation of addition connectivity effortless.
With complete fibre management the Central Patching
Frame can accommodate thousands of connections
within a single cabinet. The design of the CPF means
you only need to access the front of the cabinet creating
more location options whilst maintaining complete
scalability with both back to back and side by side
configurations available.
Ease of accessibility
Modular by design
High density
The F-Tube cabling system installed by Splice has to be
some of the best I have ever seen. As far as best practice
goes, we recommend this solution to our customers
whenever they ask about cabling issues.

Customer Comments
I decided I had to see how easy it was to install the micro ducts
and fibre bundles in our network. I visited an installation test
site and asked if I was able to pull some of the fibres into the
micro duct. I removed my jacket, took a grip of the cord and
started to pull the fibre bundles through the tubing. I was
surprised at just how easy it was to installwe were so confident
with the simplicity of the whole pulled fibre solution that we
decided to implement the splice micro duct
pulledfibre system throughout our entire network.

SDR is the standard dimension ratio (OD / wall). Lower SDRs indicate heavy-duty sizes.

4 PERFORMANCE
4.1 TENSILE: The duct shall withstand the stated axial load when applied at 100mm/min to a 500mm
gauge length. The elongation due to this load shall not exceed 5%.
NB: The expected tensile yield load causes total failure of the duct. Yield load is not a safe working
load. At this load, the duct has normally elongated by around 10%, and then continues to elongate to
failure.

4.2 a) INSTALLATION of DUCT: We recommend that installation tension does not exceed that specified
in the previous table, and that correct installation procedures are followed. Pulling duct causes
temporary elongation, which reduces when unloaded. After pulling and before cutting or connecting
the duct, allow suitable relaxation time, ideally 24 hours or more.
b) INSTALLATION of Cable into DUCT: Use emtelle recommended methods. Do not exceed blow
pressure listed below, or the duct may suffer deformation.

4.3 STIFFNESS of each duct at 5% deflection shall exceed that stated below. (Test to ASTM 2412)

4.4 COMPRESSION: The load expected to give 15% deflection on a 200mm length is given. (to EN
50086-2-4)

4.5 IMPACT: All duct shall withstand (ie no cracks) a 15J impact at -5C when tested to EN 50086-2-4.

4.6 COIL SET: When 50m of duct is laid out and allowed to relax, the central part, excluding ends, shall lie
substantially straight.

www.emtelle.com

4.7 FRICTION: The frictional force (horizontal) on a standard pull-rope shall be no greater than 390N
when lifting a 25kg mass (vertical) at a speed of 0.5m/min. The duct sample containing the rope shall
be 5m long, and include a 450 loop of diameter 0.75m. .

4.8 BENDING: Minimum recommended bend radius is as stated. If temp is below 5C, MBR is greater, as
stated. Do not go tighter than the MBR. Remember that the greater the installed bend radius, the less
stress will be induced in the duct, and the easier that cables will blow or pull around the curve.
**Barrel diameters for supply may be slightly tighter than this.
