Crescent Ridge Corporate Center Telecommunication Rules

RULES FOR INSTALLATION

1. Any installation of, or changes to, wire and/or cabling which are located in or otherwise affect the Base Building's equipment closet, inter-floor risers or any other common areas must be submitted to Landlord in blueprint form for approval prior to installation or change.
2. Plenum-rated wire or conduit must be used in all areas of the Project.
3. Any wire or conduit placed above the ceiling must not rest on the ceiling or ceiling grid system. It must be tied in bundles or be enclosed in a conduit, and then be suspended from beams and not from the ceiling supports, existing conduit, sprinkler system or sheet metal work.
4. All wiring or cabling must be a minimum of 5 inches from any mechanical, HVAC or electrical equipment placed in ceiling air plenum.
5. Tenant must provide a space for telephone or data equipment (wall or floor space) within its leased space. No tenant equipment may be located in the building's riser closet.
6. Tenant's vendor must provide any cable(s) necessary from the tenant's space to the assigned cross-connection panel. The riser shaft is a vertical riser, which has one riser closet per floor. Access from floor to floor is via an "egg crate" type opening containing several "cells” depending on the specific floor.
   • Tenant's vendor must provide cable to run from the telephone or data equipment using 66M1-50 terminating blocks in the riser closet
   • Any vertical cable distribution through the riser closet" will require removal or penetration of a fire-stopped access space. It is the vendor's responsibility to restore, at its own cost, any firestop removed or displaced during cable installation and to get approval from Landlord for the "cell" being utilized.
7. The vendor may access the riser closet by obtaining access from the Security Desk on Level -1.
8. The vendor may use the riser closet only while work is being completed and may not allow access by any other person, unless such person is the vendor's direct subcontractor. Doors must be locked when not in direct use.
9. The vendor must coordinate with Landlord for installation of any blocks in the riser closet.
10. All debris from installation must be removed from the plenum and riser closet when work is complete. The vendor must keep the work area neat and clean while performing work.
11. Installation of wire or cabling may be performed only by providers and/or vendors approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld after receipt of acceptable installation blueprints and a completed Phone Service Riser Access Request. Landlord must receive the attached request form at least seven working days in advance of any required cross-connections.

There are three steps in this process:

1. The tenant’s phone service provider (e.g. ETI; U S WEST, AT&T, etc.) brings service into the building via the main phone room located in the Lower Level.
2. The tenant's phone equipment is ordered through a traditional phone vendor (e.g. U S WEST, Cypress Communications, etc.). The tenant's provider and vendor may or may not be the same. This vendor provides the cabling and phone installation in the tenant space. The vendor runs cable horizontally from tenant's phone equipment to the assigned cross-connection point within the riser closets located on each floor.
3. Once these three steps have been completed, the phone line circuit will be complete and phone service will begin for the tenant.
