SERVICES AND SYSTEMS<br />

6.5 Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF)<br />

All cable shall be 4-pair enhanced category 5, unshielded twisted pair cable. All cabling shall<br />

be in a metal or PVC conduit, all conduits to be sized 20% larger than minimum recommended<br />

size for number of cable runs. Where conduit is not provided, cable shall be plenum rated<br />

where regulation require.<br />

a) Voice:<br />

b) Data<br />

All voice cables in meeting rooms, pre-function rooms and main Meeting room<br />

corridors shall terminate on a patch panel close to the meeting space or located in<br />

an A/V control room near the meeting space. This will permit the hotel to patch a<br />

variety of services to any meeting room.<br />

All guest room voice (telephone, fax, modem) wiring will terminate as practical<br />

on intermediate distribution frames supporting the voice cabling for the building.<br />

Guest room voice and modem/fax lines will run live to the telephone switch. All<br />

guest room modem wiring will terminate on a patch panel (unless otherwise<br />

specified) to be located in the PBX/PABX switch room to permit switching of<br />

ISDN to guest rooms. See later section describing the patch panel requirements.<br />

Administration and back of house voice (telephone, fax, modem) wiring will<br />

terminate as practical on intermediate distribution frames arranged to support the<br />

cabling on a given administration floor or area. It may be more practical to route<br />

such cabling direction to the telephone switch room; however, the intent is to<br />

design a cabling structure that minimizes the total amount of cable and conduit<br />

required to keep costs down while adhering to the operating requirements of the<br />

hotel.<br />

Voice riser cable or backbone cable (cable that links the intermediate distribution<br />

frames to the main distribution frame in the switch room) shall be run from each<br />

intermediate distribution frames to the main distribution frame in the telephone<br />

switch room utilizing 25,50, 100 or 200 pair bundles of category enhanced<br />

category 5 cable. If circumstances require (e.g. a large spread out resort with<br />

multiple buildings), this backbone cabling may be more efficiently run using<br />

Fiber optics (see section 7.1).<br />

Guest room data wiring will terminate on an enhanced category 5 patch panel in<br />

each floor’s intermediate distribution frames (or the intermediate distribution<br />

frames serving that floor). There must be sufficient space and electricity to power<br />

data concentrators/hubs in each location. (See section 7.2 & 7.3)<br />

Administration data wiring will be routed wherever possible to the hotel computer<br />

room and terminated on an enhanced category 5 patch panel located there. If it is<br />
