General
High Grade Coaxial Cable should be used at all times. The primary purpose of the installation is for the delivery of video/television/cable services. Coaxial Installations should be capable of handling digital cable services. On horizontal runs the use of UTP for delivery of services is preferred.
Capacity
While these specifications are designed to accomodate future expansion, we expect the average life of a new installation to be 25 years and over that time the need for additional facilities may become apparent. Building headroom into cabling installations when doing a new construction project has proven to be far more cost effective than retrofitting.
Supplies
Based on our experience of the past quality of service and products received, EIS has chosen Anixter International as the telecommunications parts and cabling supplier. Anixter is the world's leading Communications Products and Wire & Cable distribution company and provides comprehensive sales and customer support services.
Testing
All cabling must be end-to-end tested to meet specifications provided for the project by EIS. Detailed test results for each cabling run must be provided both in print and on diskette/CDROM to EIS.
