Hall Planner
Three answers in: rows, racks per row, where the MMR is. Out comes a scaled hall drawing with the tray routes, every trunk length to order, the cable list, TIA-606 labels, the materials and the test plan. Demo data, no prices.
Rack F12 and the MMR rack it lands on
Panels from the top down: fibre first, then copper with a manager under each panel. Showing the longest run.
Cable list
Every cable: where it starts, where it ends, what to order. Lengths follow the tray.

Order length = route + 10% + 2 × 1.5 m, rounded up. Copper over 90 m is marked.
Labels
Agree the IDs before the first drum arrives. Then the schedule, the labels and the test results use the same names.
TIA-606-C style: floor space, rack, rack unit, port. Rows skip I and O so they never read as 1 and 0.
Rack, front and rear

Test plan
How many results the handover pack must hold, counted before anyone starts.
| Test | Method | Scope | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|
| End-face inspection | IEC 61300-3-35, before every mating | 576 MPO + 6,912 LC | 7,488 |
| Polarity | TIA-568.3-D Method B, per trunk | 288 trunks | 288 |
| Tier 1 loss (OLTS) | Each fibre, two wavelengths | 3,456 fibres | 6,912 |
| OTDR (Tier 2) | Both wavelengths, both directions | 1,728 fibres | 6,912 |
| Cat6A permanent link | Cat 6A PL or Class EA PL, as your spec names | 1,728 links | 1,728 |
Set the tester before the first link
- OS21310 / 1550 nm · worst link 25.2 m · limit 3.01 / 3.01 dB
- OM4850 / 1300 nm · worst link 25.2 m · limit 3.09 / 3.04 dB
- Cat6APermanent link limit, not channel. 90 m maximum.
Planning limit: 4 mated pairs at 0.75 dB plus cable loss (3.5 / 1.5 dB per km multimode, 0.4 dB per km OS2). Use the limit your spec names; the wrong limit is the most common reason a whole floor is retested.
