The University of KansasDesign & Construction StandardsTelecommunications Systems2727 00 00 - CommunicationsPART 1 - GENERALThe University of Kansas, Information Technology (KU IT) is the responsible unit for low-voltagetelecommunications design, design oversight, and installation at the University of Kansas (KU). Thisresponsibility includes but is not limited to any and all KU property and structures including hand-holes,maintenance holes, pull-boxes, pedestals, and enclosures as well as both inside and outside plantinstallations (ISP & OSP).The University of Kansas Division 27 Standard is intended to communicate the design and installationrequirements for the Telecommunications Systems at KU. It has been written for Architects, Engineersand Designers who are responsible for the design of new or remodeled facilities for KU wheretelecommunications infrastructure currently exists or will be installed. It is also intended for low voltageTelecommunications Contractors (TC or Contractors) installing telecommunications infrastructure at KU.Architects, Engineers and Designers shall verify that all applicable portions of these standards areincorporated into each project’s design drawings, specifications and final construction. Contractors shallverify that all applicable portions of these standards are incorporated into the project’s finalconstruction.1.1SUMMARYA. Division 27 governs the infrastructure for the low-voltage information transport systems(ITS), which include voice, data, and CATV systems and their pathways.B. Life of Standard1. This standard represents the minimum acceptable requirements for voice, data, video,and other general information transport systems at The University of Kansas. Thisstandard is a living document. The criteria in this standard are subject to revisions andupdating as warranted by advances in building construction techniques andtelecommunications technology.2. This standard is NOT to be used as the final specification or bid document for anyproject. This standard is a starting point in a process of collaboration betweenarchitect/design engineer, the occupant and KU IT. It also serves as a minimum or bestpractice for installation.C. Description of Work:1. Contractor shall furnish and install materials for the communications infrastructure asspecified herein and as shown on the drawings. Upon completion, the systems shall befunctioning systems in compliance with performance requirements specified.2. The cabling specified and shown on the drawings is for complete, performance based,workable systems. Deviations from the cabling shown due to a particularmanufacturer’s requirements shall be made only with the written approval of theArchitect, Designer, and KU IT, and at no additional cost to KU.Revision Date: January 1, 2021SECTION 27 00 00Page 5 of 195
