• <br /> 9-29.3(2) H Three-Conductor Shielded Cable <br /> Section 9-29.3(2)H is deleted in its entirely and replaced with the following: <br /> Three conductor shielded cable (3CS) for the detector circuit for optical fire preemption receivers shall be Model <br /> 138 Opticom cable. <br /> 9-29.3(2) I Twisted Pair Communications Cable <br /> Section 9-29.3(2)1 is supplemented with the following: <br /> Twisted-Pair (TWP) Copper Cable Testing <br /> The Contractor shall perform a Field Acceptance Test on the installed cable. Each pair shall be tested for <br /> frequency attenuation between the communication hub and each ITS device.The Contracting Agency will provide <br /> a witness during the tests and the test results shall be documented as prescribed elsewhere in this specification. <br /> Any pairs showing attenuation greater than 2 dB per mile at 1 kHz shall be cause for rejection of the cable. The <br /> Contractor shall replace any cable failing this test at no additional expense to the Contracting Agency.The <br /> Contractor shall provide all test equipment necessary to perform the tests. <br /> All pairs of each underground cable shall be tested for continuity,polarity, shorts,grounds,longitudinal balance, <br /> and both resistive and impedance losses consistent with the manufacturer's specifications and standard <br /> telecommunication industry requirements. <br /> Each TWP copper cable intended primarily for data communication applications shall be tested end-to-end from <br /> the controlled environment vault cable termination point to the interface at the traffic control device. The <br /> transmission test procedure shall include the continuity testing of each pair within each TWP cable from the outlet <br /> in the termination panel in the vault to the termination outlet at each device location. <br /> The Contractor shall ensure that all individual wires in all TWP cables have been terminated consistent with the <br /> wire insulation color to termination pin requirements set forth in this Special Provision. <br /> The Contractor shall document the transmission quality test results for 50% of the pairs in each cable of the <br /> installed TWP cable and provide documentation for each cable that the cable meets or exceeds the manufacturer's <br /> published specifications and otherwise complies with the requirements set forth in this specification for <br /> characteristic impedance,longitudinal balance,resistive and impedance losses, and near-end crosstalk. <br /> The Contractor shall provide the Engineer with the manufacturer and model number of the test equipment and <br /> the equipment calibration procedures to be used prior to conducting all tests. <br /> The Contractor shall test each underground cable end-to-end from the controlled environment vault-termination <br /> block to the terminal block at each cable pedestal or other outside plant terminal equipment. The Contractor shall <br /> provide actual test readings for each of the following items to verify the required transmission criteria: <br /> DC Resistance -The resistance of any conductor in any cable shall not exceed 20 52 ohms per 1000 feet. <br /> DC Resistance Unbalance-The resistance unbalance between the two conductors 3 of any pair shall not exceed <br /> 5%. <br /> Ambient Noise Measurements -The Contractor shall measure the ambient noise 6 level in dBmO to determine the <br /> level of noise on each cable being tested. The distant end of the pair being tested should be terminated with a 600- <br /> 34 <br /> Swift II BRT Boeing to Canyon Park Station—Traffic Signal 90%Special Provisions—12/1/2016 <br />
