ABRADED AND/OR DAMAGED CABLES DURING THE PROOF OF PE 6.1.G. - Page 30
<br />TEST SHALL BE GROUNDS FOR DECLARING THE ENTIRE SYSTEM UNACCEPTABLE
<br />AND THE TERMINATION OF ITS PROOF OF PERFORMANCE TEST). Completely
<br />cover edges of wire or cable pass through holes in chassis, cabinets or racks,
<br />enclosures, pull orjunction fill boxes, conduit, etc., with plastic or nylon grommets.
<br />4. All cable junctions and taps shall be accessible. Do not install junction blocks, multi
<br />distribution connections, or other audiovisual equipment (active or passive) items
<br />inside signal ducts.
<br />F. System Signal Wires and Cables:
<br />1. Wires and cables shall be provided and installed in accordance with the
<br />construction practices that are identified and outlined in NFPA 70, National
<br />Electrical Code 2011. The wires and cables shall be able to withstand any adverse
<br />environmental conditions in their respective location without deterioration. Wires
<br />and cables shall enter each equipment enclosure, console, cabinet or rack in such
<br />a manner that all doors or access panels shall open and close without removing
<br />or disturbing the cables.
<br />G. Routing and Interconnection:
<br />1. Wires or cables between consoles, cabinets, racks, and other equipment shall be
<br />in approved conduit, signal duct, cable duct, or cable tray that are secured to solid
<br />building structures.
<br />2. Wires and cables shall be insulated to prevent contact with signal or current
<br />carrying conductors and 100% shielded. Wires or cables used in assembling
<br />consoles, panels, equipment cabinets, and racks shall be formed into harnesses
<br />that are bundled and tied. Harnessed wires or cables shall be combed straight,
<br />formed, and dressed in either a vertical or horizontal relationship to equipment,
<br />controls, components, or terminations.
<br />3. Harnesses with intertwined members are not acceptable. Each wire or cable that
<br />breaks out from a harness for connection or termination shall have be tied off at
<br />that harness or bundle point, and be provided with an ample neatly formed
<br />service loop.
<br />4. Wires and cables shall be grouped according to service and industry best practice
<br />(AC, grounds, signal, DC, control, etc.). Wires and cables shall be neatly formed
<br />and shall not change position in the group throughout the conduit run. Wires and
<br />cables in approved signal duct, conduit, cable ducts, or cable trays (open wire -
<br />ways or open cable ladders are not authorized and will not be approved), shall be
<br />neatly formed, bundled, and tied off in 24 to 36 inch lengths and shall not change
<br />position in the group throughout the run. Concealed splices are not allowed.
<br />5. Separate, organize, bundle, and route wires or cables to restrict channel cross -talk
<br />or feedback oscillation inside any enclosure. Looking at any enclosure from the
<br />rear (wall mounted enclosures, junction, pull or interface boxes from the front),
<br />locate AC power, DC power, loudspeaker, RF, relay and switching control wires or
<br />cables on the left; microphone level, line level audio, video, digital control, and
<br />time code wires or cables on the right. This installation shall be accomplished with
