8-20.6(5) Cable Suspension Hardwnrc Cablc suspension hardware shall conform to standsrd plans S10A, 810B and 810C. The aerial cable shall be attached to the utility pole using one bolt clamp with one J-Hook. Attach J-Hook and clamp to pole with I-5/8" � diameter galvanized stecl bolt through pole with galvanized nut and washer. Messenger clamp and J-Hook shall he gllvanized steel or stainless steel and be designed to support figure "8" cable. J-Hook and clamps shall not Irequire stripping or splitting of the messenger from the cable for installa:ion. At dead-end instailation install 5/8" diameter galvanized stecl thimbleye bolt through pole to attach dead-end I strand vise type connectors at each end. Bolt shall be at least 3" longer than pole diameter and shall include a 2- I/2" squar•curved washer and nut at the threaded end. Strand vises shall be universal short-bail style sized to fit ,nessenger cable, corrosion resistant stainless steel. All I other hardware shall be made specificaliy for Tclecommuuications System installations and shall be approved by the Engineer prior to being used en this pruject. Clamps, bolts, washers and associated hardware made from aluminum shall not be allowed. IThe Cable Suspension Hardware shall be considered incidental to the interconnect cable pay items and no further compensation will be made. I8-20.6(6) Cable System Testing Contact the engineer prior to test set-up. � Test Procedure: The continuity and quality of the cable systems shall be demonstrated in the presence and to thc satisfacrion of the Gngincer. The Contractor shall give written notice of the testing date and time to the Engineer who in turn will notify thc utiliry personnel. This noticc shall be giren a minimum of 5 working days in advance Iof any testing. The tests shall be performed as follows: a) Installatiou quality: This test shall be for shorts, opens, crosse, and grounds both pair to pair and I conductors to ground: The resistance shall be measured across d�e pair a�id conductor to ground. The across the pair measurement shall be exactly the sum of th.r, conductor to growid measurements for eac1� conductor in ;.ach pav. The variance for resistance measrremenu shall br no more than 5% For equal path Iengths across all conductors and pairs. Insulation resistance measurements shall also be conducted, I pair to pair, wire to wire, and wires to ground. Use at least 500 V megger tester. No pairs connected tix equipment. I The Contracror siiall '.ceep an accuratc and dctaileil record o;all testing. This record shall include but not bc limited to the follow'ing: � Time,date,weather, personncl present, location and all quantitative and qualitative measurements. I These records shall have a clear, neat and readable farmat. A copy of the proposed record fortnat shall be submitted to the Engineer for approval prior to testing. Copies of these records shall be given to the Enginecr j upor. completion of this contract. I Work required to complete testing of the installed interconnect cable shall be considered incidental to other items of work. When the contract requires the Contractor to do the cable splicing, additional testing will be required to test each pair for statir, a�d cross-talk, pairvto-pair isolation, isolation of wnductors from ground ar.d overall cable resistance. � END OF BIVISION S p Wcxx008�Y1�500_yKc�Canipov dec David Evans end Associa�cs,Inc.
