7IPa�,e Definitions As -Built Drawings: As -built drawings are revised drawing sets submitted by a contractor upon completion of a job. They serve to document all changes made during the construction process and allow contractors to track changes as work is performed. Any logical diagrams, schematics, or line diagrams produced during the installation of the project are included. Inspection report: Inspection reports outline the inspection of a project, ensuring that its installation process, products, and methods meet a specific set of standards. These standards may be codes, industry -established standards, construction details, client preferences, or internal standards. The inspection report also cites project status and outstanding areas of improvement along with specific correction recommendations. Upon correction, a secondary inspection is issued to verify compliance to stated requirements. Test Results: VectorUSA will provide the client with all test results including cable tests for continuity and performance. Certified "Pass" or "Fail" results are generated using a certified and calibrated test unit which determines whether a link is compliant with a category (TIA) or class (ISO); for example, category 6 or class E. Permanent Link Certification: Permanent link certification tests the permanent portion of the channel which is the cable and terminations that exist between the patch panel and user outlet. It does not test the patch cables since these are not permanent and can be moved. The maximum permitted length of the permanent link is 90 meters. Permanent link testing is preferred over channel testing since permanent links are considered the true foundation of the network. While this may not seem intuitive since proper data transmission relies on the performance of the entire channel, industry standards offer more headroom in the channel due to patch cords being the weakest link. This means that when channel testing with quality patch cords, the channel can pass even if the permanent link has failed. Channel Certification: Channel certification tests the connection from one active device to another (think switch to server or switch to laptop), and it includes any patch cords and equipment cords. In the data center, the channel would include any cable between two switches or between a switch and server and any patch cords used for cross -connects or interconnects. In the LAN, this would include any cable between the switch in the telecom room and the end device, including any patch cords from the switch to a patch panel and any equipment cords from the outlet to end device. The maximum permitted length of the channel is 100 meters. Butterfly Diagrams: Butterfly diagrams are flat, two-dimensional depictions of a manhole or handhole showing the wall positions of ducts/conduits, duct types, and identifiers for each duct in the duct bank. These diagrams can also depict Cable ID and routing information, splice housings, service loops, vault dimensions and any other active or inert equipment. Fiber Line Diagram: Fiber line diagrams are flat, two-dimensional depictions of vertical fiber cables, representing start and end points, pathway variations, and all applicable splice/termination points. Splicing Worksheet: Splicing worksheets are spreadsheets or matrices containing fiber optic cable and strand counts, fiber types, and building locations. Manufacturer Cable Warranty: Manufacturer cable warranties financially cover specific components that break down due to flaws and defects within the product itself. These are typically offered as a Standard option providing 1-Year coverage, or an Extended option that may cover up to twenty-five (25) years of coverage if properly tested and certified — receiving a "Pass" on all standard parameters.
