 Communication Services
• The communication services usually
comprise of telephony systems, cable
TV service system and antenna mount
television service system, information
technology systems, and public address
systems. Provisions for the hearing
impaired persons may also be covered
in this section.
Telecommunication in Buildings
• 2 pair indoor cables is needed to get
telephone lines of the Wired Telephone
Companies inside rooms of a building.
• 10 pair/ 20 pair/ 50 pair telephone cables
are required to be brought in to the PABX
room(s).
• For the entry of 10 pair/ 20 pair/ 50 pair
cables, conduits through straight and easy
path (in most cases, through one side of
the vertical electrical duct) need to be
brought in.
Communication Cables
 Concealed Telecommunication Cable Wiring
• 2 pair PVC insulated PVC sheathed annealed copper
telecommunication cable shall be drawn through sufficient
number of pre‐laid 19mm/25mm/38mm PVC conduits to
establish Telecommunication Network inside a building.
• A clearance of at least 40% must be maintained inside the PVC
conduits.
• Sufficient number of 18 SWG GI sheet made pull boxes (with
Perspex sheet/ebonite sheet cover plates) at all suitable
places must be placed for the ease of pulling these cables.
• 2 pair PVC insulated PVC sheathed annealed copper cable
shall be used for wiring between a Telephone DP/Patch panel
and a Telecommunication outlet. The extra pair shall remain
for future maintenance.
• The minimum size of the copper wire of this cable shall be
0.5mm. The copper shall be preferably tinned.
Telephone Cables
Surface Telecommunication Cable Wiring
• If the building is already constructed or under
compulsory conditions or for extension of an
existing network one may go for surface
wiring.
• The same 2 pair PVC insulated PVC sheathed
annealed copper telecommunication cable
shall be used for this purpose. Wiring shall be
done either by using channels or by using PVC
conduits following the power line surface
wiring methods mentions earlier.
 Telecommunications Outlets
• Wall mounted Telecommunication outlets
shall contain RJ11 or RJ45 connectors/ jacks
(shuttered).
• For simple telephone connection RJ11
shuttered jacks are sufficient.
• The outlet box shall have a back‐box which
may be made of the same polymer material
as the front panel or shall be made using 18
SWG GI sheet or 18 SWG MS sheet but
painted with two coats of synthetic enamel
paint.
Communications Outlets and Connectors
 Telephone DP room, Patch Panel
Room and Digital PABX room
• Telephone DP room, Patch Panel Room and PABX
room should be located near the vertical riser duct
of the building so that the incoming 50 pair or 100
pair underground Telephone cable can be terminated
in the DP/MDF or Patch Panel for distribution among
the Flats of a Multistoried Residential Building or
among the offices of a Multistoried Commercial/
Office building.
• If a Digital Telephone PABX is to be installed then this
can be installed in the same room.
• A separate Earth Electrode with earth lead wire will
be required for the PABX.
 Public Address System
• 2-way PA system with speakers in
separate rooms or greater spaces,
offices, circulation areas and general
purpose rooms should be taken into
consideration.
• The public address system control unit
should be located in a central place. The
speakers should be positioned on the
corridor wall 1.6 m above the finished
floor level.
 Public Address System (contd..)
• The system shall consist of the following:
– Desk mounted console, containing amplifier, room
selector switches with one master switch, input
socket: for microphone lead and other external
source lead.
– One gooseneck microphone
– Wall mounted speakers
– Automatic time announce system (edu) operating
through a 24 hour master clock system.
– Reproduction facilities for recordings and
broadcasts.
PA System for Announcement
PA System for Announcement
PA System for View Exchange
PA System for Auditorium/Drama Stage
 Public Address System (contd..)
• Wiring of the signal lines required for the
installation of PA system will be done
using the methods described in the
telephony system wiring section.
• Wiring of the power lines required for
the installation of PA system will be done
using the concealed wiring and the
surface wiring methods described in the
power line wiring section.
Sample Conference Room
Television Antennas/Cable Television
System
• In a multistoried residential/office
building, television antennas shall be
placed at one suitably sited antenna
location on roof top and connect
these to individual flats/ residences/
offices in the same building by
coaxial cables through concealed
conduits.
 Cable Work for Television Antennas/Cable
Television System
• Vertical duct and easy entry to each flats/offices must
be provided as sharp bending of these cables is
difficult and harmful to the cables.
• These cables must not be placed in the same conduit
with power cables. A distance of at least 350mm must
be maintained if a portion runs in parallel with the
power cable conduits.
• RF and Video cables shall be PVC sheathed Co‐axial
Cables; shall be made with solid Copper center
conductor, foamed polythene insulated and further
sealed Aluminum foil taped and Copper wire braided.
 Television Antenna Outlets/Cable Television
System Outlets

• Wall mounted Television coaxial cable

outlets shall contain high quality coaxial
connectors/ jacks.
• The outlet box shall have a back‐box
which may be made of the same
polymer material as the front panel or 18
SWG GI sheet or 18 SWG MS sheet made
but painted with two coats of synthetic
enamel paint.
 Data Communication Network for LAN
and Internet Services inside a Building
• Data Communication Network for LAN and
Internet Services inside a Building may be
installed using Cat 6 Unshielded Twisted Pair
(UTP) cables in a concealed manner following
the concealed wiring power cables installation
procedure mentioned in the wiring methods
section of this document.
• Each of the cables will be terminated at one
end at the 8P8C (RJ45) connector based data
socket outlet board in the required rooms at
the power socket level.
Data Communication Network for LAN and
Internet Services inside a Building (contd..)
• On the other end, the cable will be terminated
in the patch panel. From the patch panel up to
the data socket outlet the cable shall be in one
piece i.e., no joints will be allowed. As a result
the concealed conduit work needs to be done
carefully to have a straight line path and
without any bend in the roof slab.
• Sufficient pull boxes will be required in the
roof slab. Pull box will also be needed close to
the vertical bend near the bend and ceiling at
any downward drop of the conduit.
Data Communication Network for LAN and
Internet Services inside a Building (contd..)
• The conduits must have 20 SWG GI pull wires
during laying for pulling the cables later.
• Because of the nature of these cables more
clearances are needed inside the PVC conduits
compared to the power cables.
• If the conduits are running parallel to the
power cables then there should be at least a
distance of 410mm between these two.
• Recently Cat. 7 cables are emerging as a
better choice in place of Cat. 6 cables.
