1 Introduction

1.1 Purpose
This document provides guidelines for Consultants, Builders, Electrical Contractors,
and Developers of Mulli Dwelling Units (MDU) on the provision of cable pathways
and equipment room requirements in preparation for the installation of an Opticomm
Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) network. This document does not cover Commercial,
Retail, and other high density vertical high-rise developments however the principles
outlined in this document may be applied, in most cases, to these types of
developments

1.2 Scope
This document describes in general terms the requirements and responsibilities for
the provision of cable pathways and equipment rooms for the installation of an
Opticomm Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) network. This document does not override
any requirements defined in relevant Australian Standards and Building Codes that
must be followed by builders and subcontractors.

1.3 Project specific requirements

Opticomm recognise each development project can have its own bespoke
requirements that may not fit within these guidelines. The dedicated Opticomm
Project Manager for the project will always work with the developer and builder to
achieve the best possible outcomes for the project within the requirements set by the
appropriate standards and codes.

1.4 Definitions and Interpretations

Definitions as per Opticomm Ltd standards related to MDU passive network design,
are outlined in the Definitions and Interpretations section of this document. Should

3 Telecommunications Pathways
Telecommunications pathways are the conduits and cable tray used to establish a
physical pathway between the apartments and the point of building entry. A pathway
must be provided to every endpoint location within the building.
Telecommunication pathways are the fundamental piece of infrastructure that makes
a building "Fibre-ready" so Opticomm can enable the delivery of services.

Figure 1 - High Level overview of Telecommunications Pathways

OPT-006-GDE-08 MDU Developer Guidelines – New Developments
Figure 2 - Horizontal cable pathways design sample

Figure 3 - Entrance Pathway concept

10
OPT-006-GDE-08 MDU Developer Guidelines – New Developments
 3.1 Telecommunications Entrance Pathway
The telecommunications entrance pathway (or Lead in Conduit) links the Equipment
Room with the external telecommunication infrastructure located at the property
boundary. Wherever possible the Lead-in Conduits should terminate at a
Telecommunications pit at the property boundary. In some cases, this will not be
practical and Opticomm will extend the Lead-in conduits from the property boundary
to the nearest Telecommunications infrastructure.

> 1000 units 3 100 P8

Figure 4 - Example of Lead-in conduit building entry

3.2 Vertical Pathway

Vertical pathway(s) is a facility for the installation of the backbone
telecommunications cable running the vertical length of the building. It is used to
interconnect the equipment room to the riser cupboards located on each floor and
typically consist of penetrations and cable tray rising vertically through the building.

11
OPT-006-GDE-08 MDU Developer Guidelines – New Developments
At the top floor or plant room, 2 x 32mm conduits must be provided from the vertical
cable tray to the roof top area allocated to Opticomm.
Additionally, 2 x 32mm conduits must be provided from the Plant Room/Antenna
Room to the vertical cable tray.

Vertical pathways are required for cable support fixing using either:
• Continuous accessible perforated cable tray with a minimum width of 100mm;
or
• A shared cable tray with a minimum of 100mm allocated for Opticomm.
Where the riser(s) are not a single continuous shaft, additional pathways using
cable tray or conduit (min 2 x 50mm) will be required to link the shafts with
appropriate access at least every 15 metres and at every change of direction.
Figure 5 - Examples of Vertical Telecommunications Pathways

3.3 Horizontal Pathways

Horizontal pathways are conduits connecting each of the Apartments to the Riser
Cupboards.

When installing a Horizontal conduit pathway:

12
OPT-006-GDE-08 MDU Developer Guidelines – New Developments
 • Use a continuous Telecommunication P20 conduit (23mm Inner diameter),
between the Riser Cupboard and the individual Apartments, for exclusive use
by Opticomm
• Use sweeping bends with a diameter of at least 300mm
o The conduit may sweep at a large radius of greater than 2m and not be
counted as a bend
• Conduits are to be tested with a mandrel of at least 80% of the conduit
nominal inside diameter
• Keep bends to a maximum of three from riser to apartment if there is no
access opening for hauling
• Fit each conduit with a drawstring
• Label each conduit with the Apartment number at the riser cupboard
• Conduits can be surface mounted below the soffit or cast 'in slab'

Figure 6 - Examples of Horizontal Telecommunications Pathways

3.4 Firestopping of cable pathways

Firestopping of the cable pathways are the responsibility of the builder and can only
be completed after Opticomm has installed all fibre optic cables. The dedicated
Opticomm Project Manager will coordinate with the builder’s program to ensure the
cables are installed before firestopping is scheduled to be completed.

OPT-006-GDE-08 MDU Developer Guidelines – New Developments
4 Equipment Room (Communications
Room)

The Telecommunication Equipment Room (commonly called the Main Comms Room
(MCR) or Main Distribution Frame (MDF) Room) is located within the base building.
Where no Equipment Room is available, or the MDU is adjacent to an existing
Opticomm network, the MDU may be serviced from a Roadside Cabinet, either
within the MDU property boundary or in a road reserve or Public Open Space. This
option must be agreed with Opticomm prior to execution of a Telecommunication
Utility Agreement between Opticomm and the Developer as it will incur extra costs.
This option also has limitations on the network supporting BAS services.
Where an Equipment Room is provided within the building it must meet the below
minimum requirements.

4.1 Size
In an MDU development, the Developer will provide Opticomm a secure room with a
floor area of at least 4m x 4m in an appropriate location in the MDU for Opticomm to
install its equipment. Opticomm may install up to 5 equipment racks within the
Equipment Room.

4.2 Finishings
The Developer and Builder must ensure that the room is painted and finished, with
linoleum flooring, no surface in the room shall be bare concrete or unpainted
plasterboard.

4.3 Earthing
A Communications Earth Terminal (6mm2) must be provided from the Mains
Distribution Board to a position adjacent to the Rack location. The Communications
Earth Terminal (CET) is a link from the Main Distribution Board Earth and a Terminal
in the communications room labelled as “CET”. This is fully described in AS/CA S009
and AS/NZS 3000, see section 1.5 Reference Documents

captive sockets provided to the power rack location. The GPO circuits must be non-
RCD protected.

4.5 Lighting
Adequate lighting is to be provided in the Equipment room to meet appropriate
Australian Standards and building codes.

4.6 UPS and Fire protection

Opticomm may install a UPS system in the equipment room. Typical battery
capacities and voltages for different sized MDU’s are listed below. It is the developer
and builders responsibility to ensure fire protection is suitable to meet all Australian
standards and building codes to accommodate this equipment. Wherever possible
under the appropriate standards and codes there should not be a water sprinkler
installed in the Equipment Room.

At Opticomm’s request, the Developer must provide Opticomm with exclusive use of
a 4m x 4m area on the MDU’s roof that meets Opticomm’s requirements for the
installation, maintenance and operation of telecommunications facilities including
antennas. It is the Developers responsibility to ensure Opticomm has safe access to
the MDU roof to install and maintain facilities.

There must be a minimum 2 x 32mm ID conduit pathways from this reserved rooftop
location to the Plant Room/Antenna Room and the vertical cable pathways.
Opticomm may require access to the plant room depending on the size of the MDU,
to install equipment to provide FTA TV. Opticomm will require access to a single
phase 10A double GPO in the Plant Room/Antenna Room where equipment is
installed.

Opticomm copies of the following documents:
• Address List (Opticomm document supplied to Developer to be completed &
returned)
• Electrical/cable tray reticulation design of every floor
• Riser layout design & dimensions
• Apartment end point location and dimensions
• Equipment Room design & dimensions

25
OPT-006-GDE-08 MDU Developer Guidelines – New Developments
9 Optional add-on services
Opticomm may offer to the developer additional add on services utilising some of the
Telecommunications infrastructure to support a parallel network transporting
Ethernet based Building Automation Services (BAS). The options for these services
are based on either Opticomm providing Dark fibre only for use by other BAS
contractors or providing the active ethernet network.

The two options are Smart Trunk (Dark fibre only) and Community Connect
(Complete ethernet network).

The Dark Fibre or Ethernet connections must only be used to support building
services and are not available for use by other Telecommunications carriers.
Opticomm maintains ownership of any Dark fibre provided for Smart Trunk or
Community Connect services.

9.1 Smart Trunk concept

The following diagram summarises the topology of the Opticomm Smart Trunk
Product. In essence the Smart Trunk Product utilises the Opticomm
Telecommunications fibre network to transport Optical traffic from the BAS
contractor’s equipment. At each location where the BAS contractor requires single
mode dark fibre, Opticomm provides a pair of dark fibres which connects back to the
Equipment Room. The dark fibre is handed off as a duplex pair SC/APC fibre to the
BAS contractor.

Additionally, Opticomm install an unterminated Cat6 cable between the riser and the
apartment for use by the BAS contractor to support in room services such as security
and intercom. The BAS contractor is responsible to terminate the cable at the riser
and apartment end.

27
OPT-006-GDE-08 MDU Developer Guidelines – New Developments
 9.2 Community Connect concept

The following diagram summarises the topology of the Opticomm Community

Connect Product. In essence the Community Connect Product utilises the Opticomm
Telecommunications fibre network to transport Optical traffic from the BAS
equipment supplied and installed by Opticomm. At each location where the BAS
equipment is installed by Opticomm a single mode dark fibre transports data back to
the BAS core provided by Opticomm Equipment Room. The BAS services are
handed off at the equipment room by a “Top of Rack Switch” supplied and installed
by Opticomm in the BAS rack.

Additionally, Opticomm install an unterminated Cat6 cable between the riser and the
apartment for use by the security contractor to support in room services such as
security and intercom. The security contractor is responsible to terminate the cable
at the riser and apartment end.
