Network Infrastructure Design StandardsUniversity of Houston2.0 INTRODUCTION , PURPOSE AND RELATED DOCUMENTS2.0.1 INTRODUCTIONThis document contains information to guide the creation of structured wiring systems atUniversity of Houston. University Information Technology Network Services (UITNS) updates thisdocument periodically as functional needs and technology evolve. Each updated edition includesits effective date on the cover and in the page footers. The current version and several earliereditions are available on the UIT website orks/network-infra-standards/The project designer is responsible for retrieving the current version of this document beforebeginning a design or making substantial changes to one.In addition, the Contractor is responsible to know and follow detailed requirements forinstallation, including approved manufacturers and part numbers, which are available in Division27 of the University of Houston Master Specification -specs/To ensure that all current installation standards are followed, all contractors and outsideInformation Technology (IT) consultants must receive approval of their design documentsfrom University IT Network Services (UITNS) before submitting them for execution. TheContractor must meet with the assigned UITNS Project Manager before beginning aninstallation.Proposal submittals for capital projects and major renovations must include a turnkeysolution for the installation of all network equipment.2.0.2 PURPOSEThe purpose of this document is to ensure that designers and contractors create high qualityproject documents that adhere to accepted industry standards and specifications and conformto systems requirements of the University of Houston.The Network Infrastructure Design Standards provide these benefits for the University: Version 1.27iSupport for best practicesProvision of multi-vendor equipment and servicesImproved management of building space resourcesReduced costs for network wiring installation, support and managementReduced training requirements for support personnel2Rev. 3/23/2020

Division 27 is organized by topic: 27 050027 052627 052827 054327 055327 110027 130027 150027 161927 200027 3000Communications General ProvisionsGrounding and Bonding for Communications SystemsPathways for Communications SystemsUnderground Duct and RacewaysIdentification for Communications SystemsNetwork Facility FittingsCommunications Backbone CablingCommunications Horizontal CablingPatch Cords, Station Cords and Cross-contact WireData Communications EquipmentVoice Communications EquipmentThe Master Specification is where to find information about approved products (includingmanufacturers and parts) and detailed installation requirements. While Network InfrastructureDesign Standards covers details that are important in the design phase of construction,renovation and improvement projects, the Master Specification presents essential informationfor execution and installation. Designers and contractors are expected to be familiar with both,to the extent that they affect their work and decisions.Version 1.27i3Rev. 3/23/2020
