- INFORMATION OUTLETS
- General planning assumptions call for a information outlet every 100
square feet. In general any room should have a minimum of two information
outlets, one each on opposing walls.
- Information outlets shall be connected to their assigned FDF through
an approved raceway system as described by section VII.
- The exact location of information outlets and equipment shall be
determined by the user, UIC Telecommunications Engineering & Design,
the project architect / engineer, and governed by structural conditions
and obstructions. All station outlets are to be mounted to permit the
vertical placement of the face plates.
- Information outlets may be moved no more than six feet prior to
installation, as directed by the UIC project engineer, with no additional
cost to UIC.
- The final location of all outlets shall be verified with UIC
Telecommunications Engineering & Design.
- Information outlets shall be zinc-coated and cadmium plated sheet
steel outlet boxes measuring 4" x 4" x 2 1/8" minimum depth. Boxes shall
be one piece stamped steel.
- Unless otherwise noted, locate the information outlets above the
finished floor to center line of boxes as follows:
- Standard desk height outlets shall be 12 inches or the same height as
the adjacent electrical duplex outlet.
- Standard wall height outlets shall be 54 inches to center of
box.
- Special applications for ADA requirements require that wall mounted
telephones shall have the highest operating part of the telephone (this
being the switchook and handle) not more than forty eight inches high when
wheelchairs approach head on, and fifty four inches high when wheelchairs
approach from the side.
- Outlets are to be serviced individually by a given conduit drop.
Looping or "daisy chaining" of outlets is not acceptable.
- Back to back outlets in the same wall, or "thru-wall" type boxes are
not permitted. Offset all outlets shown on opposite sides of a common
wall. This includes back-to-back with a box used for some other
purpose.
- Outlet boxes in finished wall shall be fitted with appropriate covers,
set vertically and flush with the finished surface.
- Outlets to be placed above counters must be installed eight inches
above the back splash. Mounting heights and plaster ring fittings required
for these outlets shall be coordinated by the UIC project engineer. Verify
both mounting height and plaster ring size (single gang or double gang)
before roughing in.
- All conduit runs for information outlets shall meet the requirements
of VII RACEWAYS.
- The minimal combination of one voice and one data jack will be
provided for each telecommunication information outlet indicated on the
drawings.
- Elevator ETU's, public coin, and other security locations are the
exceptions. These locations will not require the conventional jacks but
will require the correct horizontal cables. These cables shall be tagged
with the jack numbers and terminated on D-mark blocks specified by the UIC
Telecommunications Engineering & Design.
- Face plates configured with "snap-in" jack modules designed for voice
and data wiring systems shall be used. The Hubbell part number is
BR770WF2VD. No substitutions will be permitted without UIC
Telecommunications Engineering & Design approval (See diagram 4a
below).
Contact UIC ACCC TED for the current part numbers of the
outlet and jacks to be used.
- Two different colored jacks are required at each information outlet:
One Ivory colored category 3 jack for voice service (Hubbell part number
BRWPJ8B-Ivory) and one Black colored category 5 jack for data service
(Hubbell part number 5110815K-Black). Contact UIC ACCC TED for the
current part numbers of the outlet and jacks to be used.
- Wall mounted information outlets require a special backboard made by
the Hubbell Company part number BR630DWP-Ivory (See diagram 4b
below).
- All cable above suspended ceiling shall be in an approved raceway
system (see VII RACEWAYS). In no
circumstances will the cables be
laid on suspended ceiling.
- All information outlets will be labeled using a printer with a medium
24 point letter size. Desk type outlets will be marked in the upper or
left clear plastic window of the faceplate and wall type outlets will be
marked on the upper right side of the backboard.
- All fiber cables shall be properly and clearly labeled at each end.
The labels shall be created with a printing device suitable for cable
labeling. The labels shall be placed on each end of each fiber, as well as
on the appropriate port on the patch panel.
- Information outlets that include a fiber optic outlet shall use the
Ortronic Fib-Or-Cop as shown in diagram 4d below.
Contact UIC ACCC
TED for the current part numbers of the outlet and jacks to be
used.
- Information outlets located directly on the floor shall use the walker
enclosure shown on diagram 4c below.

current part numbers of the outlet and jacks to be used.
