    Description

    Upgrade fiberoptic cabling to 10 GB Single Mode. Replace IDF Cabinets where cabinets will not accommodate new network switches. The composition of the fiberoptic cabling plants include tube cell air blown fiber at some schools, standard conduit fiber at others, and a combination of both types at some schools. Similarly, where standard conduit fiberoptic cabling is used, there may be existing empty conduit available for the new cabling, or existing fiberoptic cabling may need to be remove before the new cable can be installed.
