This is an estimate. The building may require a larger size. • Plumbing and un-related telecommunications piping and cabling should not “pass through” or terminate in the VEF. This includes gas lines, water pipes, drain pipes, air conditioning pipes and heat exchangers unless they are directly servicing the VEF. • The VEF should not be used as a pathway for any electric cabling, besides that which is servicing the MDF. • This space should be adjacent to the MDF. • If installed within MDF room, 100 pair copper tie cable between Verizon facilities and riser cable wall field must be installed by contractor. • A minimum of 2, 4” conduit required from manhole for facilities. • If adjacent to the MDF, a minimum of 2, 4” conduit required between rooms. • Card Swipe on the door. Power Requirements • All power needs to be isolated ground, dedicated circuits on emergency power. • This room typically needs two (2) 220v 30 amp circuits with Hubble twist lock plugs, typically NEMA L6-30. This can change with individual engineering design provided by Verizon for each building. • Room should have some un-conditioned “dirty” 120 volt 20 amp circuit for convenience. • Isolated ground bar, terminated on building steel.
