Puyenpa as a Prime Contractor provided design-build services for the Horizontal Voice and Data Cabling project located at
Raven Rock Mountain Complex (RRMC). The existing telecommunications networks and infrastructure was beyond its serviceable life; therefore, RRMC required new and upgraded horizontal and backbone cable distribution infrastructure and
the subsequent replacement of all IT networks, telephone, CATV/CCTV and all other telecommunication system-cabling (all Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Layer 1) present within the facility. Puyenpa provided a design to upgrade the backbone support structure, cable and cable management from the existing telecommunications rooms (TRs) to the equipment rooms (ERs). The project also included the design of all horizontal cabling and cable support structures (cable tray, j-hooks etc.) from all work area outlets (WAOs) to the IT services through the TRs to the ERs, inclusive of all patch panels, horizontal cables, connectors, faceplates, support structure, and management, fiber and copper jumpers, to existing switches in the TRs. This project ensured the provisioning of a comprehensive and integrated design using recently constructed TRs within the facility. Puyenpa also included distribution support for a variety of network systems and technologies while also ensuring the proper application of cabling and termination support for multiple technologies.
