workstation must be channel tested (patch cord to patch cord) from the PATCHMAX
connection to the workstation (one patch cord for each connection at a cabled
location). As testing is completed at each workstation, leave the patch cable in port
#1 at faceplate and enclosure for each workstation.
SF MAC Install Specs 2c/ws. Revised 01-28-2009 Page 8

If any cable fails the Autotest, examine the test results for possible causes of failure
and correct as necessary.

Demarc Extension (Data and Telephone System)

The data demarc extension moves the telephone company connections for dial
backup line (DBU) and T-1 circuit from the legal demarc into the enclosure where
the equipment will be housed. The locations of the data circuit and the DBU circuit
may be in different locations within or outside of the building. Often times the Data
Circuit (Smart Jack) will be extended into the building and the DBU will be left at the
phone company legal demarcation point.

Multiple pair house cables (25pr, 50pr, etc) shall not be used within the demarc
extension unless authorized by your State Farm Install Coordination contact.

The data demarc extension will consist of three (3) category 5e 4-pair cables that
will route from the Agent’s legal Point of Demarcation to where the Agent’s new
enclosure is located. The three category 5e cables of the Demarc extension are
going to be for a Dedicated T-1 Data Circuit, a dial backup circuit and the third will
be for future growth. The third cable shall be terminated at the Data Circuit
location for future use.

Choose appropriate cabling for the demarc extension.


Cable Type Use
UV rated If cable is exposed on the outside of the building. (>3’, South
side, etc.)
Filled cable If the cable needs protection from water in un-exposed conduit
installation.
Plenum cable If the cable pathway is labeled Plenum airspace by definition or
local code.
PVC cable When ever possible where above issues do not impede its use.

At the Agents Equipment end, the Installer shall terminate the three cables with
MPS modules mounted in a surface mounted M104 housing, or a triplex faceplate
inside the enclosure. Cable #1 (data circuit) will be the dedicated data circuit,
Cable #2 (DBU) will be the analog circuit and #3 (Spare) will be for future use.
Plug a 3’ patch cable into Cable #1.

At the circuit demarc location, install cables # 1 and #3 to the smart jack location
and terminate them with MPS modules mounted in either the surface mounted M104
housing or a triplex faceplate. Install a D8CM-10 patch cord from cable #1 data
circuit and test the channel between the enclosure and smart jack. Install patchcord
into Smart Jack (if Smart Jack installed, if not leave patch cord). Cable #2 (DBU),
shall be routed to the legal demarc (this may be in a totally different location than
where the circuit cables are terminated), and cross-connected to the Dial Backup
SF MAC Install Specs 2c/ws. Revised 01-28-2009 Page 9

circuit (if DBU installed, if not leave 6 foot of slack). Terminate pair #1 (White/Blue)
of Cable #2 onto the DBU circuit and verify connectivity by checking for dial tone at
the enclosure.

The telephone system demarc extension (NEW AGENT and ESP offices only) will
consist of two (2) Category 5e 4-pair cables routed from the future phone system
location to the legal demarc location where the dial backup line, described above,
was pulled. These cables do not need to be terminated at either end. Leave six (6’)
of cable at both ends and label both ends of the cables with “Phone Demarc #1 and
Phone Demarc #2.

If the circuit and/or dial backup lines are not yet installed or cannot be located, the
technician must note this and immediately notify Install Coordination 1-888-443-
6208. All demarc extension cabling must be installed and tested per State Farm
provided Specifications.

Equipment and Patch Cord Appearance


If an existing enclosure is worked in or added to, all cabling and patch cords shall be
neat in appearance, using Velcro to bundle them when work is complete. See
Figure 4

Before leaving, the Technician shall make a final check of the premises to ensure all
project specifications have been met.

Figure 5: 66 Block to Modular T-1 Interface


If the LEC hands off the T-1 on a punchdown block, the below diagrams should be used for the
termination to modular connection. Make the following assumptions from this picture.

1. Red/Blue pair is Tx of T-1 coming from LEC/Smartjack


2. Red/Orange pair is Rx of T-1 coming from LEC/Smartjack
3. Cat 5e cable should be as long as needed to reach existing demarc extension modular
connection so patchcord can connect from this module to existing extension.
4. Notice flip on Cat5e side of 66block in the white/orange pair.

Jumper wire color is for


illustration only! Pairs from
LEC should be labeled Tx
and Rx. Bridging clips
would need to be between the
two jumpers. Pairs may be
separated on the 66 block if
block is nearly full.

Terminate all four pairs on


module for future changes.

This is how the termination


should look to specifications.
If the tech does not see the
Carrier Detect Light (CD)?
The LEC may have a flip in
one or both of the pairs
before the Smartjack? SF
technician will need to flip
the individual circuit pairs to
get the Carrier Detect (CD)
light on. Be careful to flip
one pair at a time and check
for CD light at smartjack or
router, returning pairs to
original scheme and flipping
other pair. Finally flip both
pairs if needed.

State Farm Agent Office


Abandoned Cable Terminations and Labeling
1-18-2008

To comply with NEC Article 800 regulations regarding abandoned cabling, State
Farm is making a change to the procedures during the moving or closing agent
office MAC process.

The change in process will require the cables terminated onto the PatchMax panel to
remain terminated and labeled for “future Use”. This will require installing a 19”
Hinged Wall bracket to mount the existing panels onto. The ground wire and
attachment device will need to be moved from the existing rack to the new panel and
bracket.

Steps:
1. Remove Enclosure/Cover from the rack by lifting up on the enclosure to remove
from the keyed holes at each corner. Be careful, lifting too high will prevent removal
as the key is in the middle to allow the enclosure to be used upside down.

2. Remove Patchpanels and the ground conductor from the rack and leave
terminated for re-use. Do not remove cables from the panel as done in past.

3. Loosen the 4 Lag-bolts holding the Rack to the wall and remove the rack from the
wall.

4. Install Hinged Wall bracket (Middle Atlantic HPM-2) to wall using two of the four
Lag-bolts from the rack, tighten bolts. Remove the two bolts not being used for the
new wall bracket.

5. Install Panels and Ground Wire to Wall Bracket. Screws for the Hinged Wall
Bracket come in the box. The screws have a plastic washer attached so be sure the
ground conductor bracket is touching metal by scraping the paint from the panel
around the screw hole. If mounting two 24 port or one 48 port panels offset them as
needed to fit on the 2U panel. Only two screws need to be used for each panel in
this instance.

6. Label the panel(s) with the State Farm supplied “future use” labels. Label each
panel if more than one is present. Be sure to fill in today’s date as the “Abandoned
Date” on the label (Sharpie or like will suffice).

If 36 port panels are being left behind at this office place sticker directly over the
ports of the panel.

7. Take enclosure off the wall and prepare cabinet for shipping to new office or returning to State
Farm with rack as required.

Tracking Requirement:
State Farm is requesting the VENDOR to provide the following information when terminating all 48
port patch panels. VENDOR must physically remove and dispose of the entire bar code from the
48 port patch panel. State Farm will provide an Excel Spreadsheet electronically for easy transfer
of below tracking information. VENDOR must electronically submit the Excel spreadsheet each
week on Monday containing the previous week's activity.

Demarc Extension

The demarc extension moves the telephone company connections for T-1 circuits, DSL
connections or dial backup line (DBU) from the legal demarc into the office area of the State Farm
Tele-worker location. The locations of the T-1 circuit and the DSL and DBU circuit may be in
different locations within or outside of the building. Often times the T-1 (Smart Jack) will be
extended into the building and the DBU will be left at the phone company legal demarcation point.

The State Farm Tele-Worker Demarc Extension will consist of two scenarios.

1. 384kb Fractured or Full T-1 Circuit and Dial Back Up (DBU) capabilities.
• Two-Cat5e cables routed between the office desk location and the two possibly
separate demarc locations. (Labeled at both ends T-1 cable #1 and DBU cable
#2)
• The DBU cable shall be ran directly to the “legal demarc” location (usually on the
outside of the house or common area of an apartment building or Condominium,
often referred to as “N.I.J – Network Interface Jack).
• The T-1 cable shall route to the “Smart Jack” location, which may be at the same
location as the DBU demarc or cabled to a protective area within the house or
weatherproof box.
• Both cables terminated with MPS modules, housed in an M104 surface mount
box at the desk location. Box to be labeled with correct circuit ID and DBU# if
applicable.
SF MAC Install Specs 2c/ws. Revised 01-28-2009 Page 24

• T-1 cable shall be terminated with single MPS module, housed in an M104
surface mount box at the “Smart Jack” location to allow patchcord connection to
the smart jack as well as loopback testing.
• If location has a DBU? Terminate the white/blue pair directly onto labeled
connection at the demarc and test for dial tone at the desk location. If location
does not have a DBU? Cable can be left with slack for future termination and
labeled within the legal demarc box or location.

2. DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) and DBU capabilities


• Two-Cat5e cables routed between the office desk location and the legal demarc
location. (Labeled DSL – cable #1 and DBU- cable #2)
• Both cables terminated with MPS modules, housed in an M104 surface mount
box at the desk location. Box to be labeled with DSL circuit ID and DBU# if
applicable.
• Terminate white/blue pair of DSL cable #1 directly onto labeled connection at the
demarc, use DSL filter to check for dial tone at work area.
• If location has a DBU? Terminate the white/blue pair directly onto labeled
connection at the demarc and test for dial tone at the desk location. If location
does not have a DBU? Cable can be left with slack for future termination and
labeled within the legal demarc box or location.

The T-1 cables that are terminated modular at both ends need to be tested to be
sure the connections are correct and the cable can pass the data as needed.

Either a Fluke DSP-2000, or technical equivalent cable tester will be used to test the
system. Using patch cords at both ends of the cable, the installer shall perform a
CHANNEL test for the T-1 cables installed. Leave patch cables attached after test
and install into the “Smart Jack” and router at their respective ends.

If any cable fails the Autotest, examine the test results for possible causes of failure
and correct as necessary.

Before leaving, the Technician shall make a final check of the premises to ensure all
project specifications have been met.

Figure 6: 66 Block to Modular T-1 Interface


If the LEC hands off the T-1 on a punchdown block, the below diagrams should be used for the
termination to modular connection. Make the following assumptions from this picture.

5. Red/Blue pair is Tx of T-1 coming from LEC/Smartjack


6. Red/Orange pair is Rx of T-1 coming from LEC/Smartjack
7. Cat 5e cable should be as long as needed to reach existing demarc extension modular
connection so patchcord can connect from this module to existing extension.
8. Notice flip on Cat5e side of 66block in the white/orange pair.

Jumper wire color is for


illustration only! Pairs from
LEC should be labeled Tx
and Rx. Bridging clips
would need to be between the
two jumpers. Pairs may be
separated on the 66 block if
block is nearly full.

Terminate all four pairs on


module for future changes.

This is how the termination


should look to specifications.
If you do not get the Carrier
Detect Light (CD) the LEC
may have a flip in one of the
pairs that installer will not
know about causing SF
technician to flip pairs again
to get the Carrier Detect
(CD) light on. Be careful to
flip one pair at a time and
check for CD light at
smartjack or router, returning
pairs to original scheme and
flipping other pair if no light.
Finally flipping both pairs if
needed.
