Koehler Cabling installed 5 miles of single-mode fiber from Davenport City Hall to the new Public Works facility. Only 2 splices were needed to accomplish this backbone. Routing and handholes were strategically placed in the city for future connection to other municipal buildings; such as, fire stations, museums and libraries. Typical loss on the fiber strands was less than 4 dB & the switch & data hubs required "sunglasses" (i.e. attenuators) to dim the signal. Connecting a City Koehler Cabling turn-keyed the project, which included concrete removal & restoration as well as difficult downtown excavation. Tamper-proof handholes & fiber signs were placed every 500 feet on the fiber route. For interior cabling, Koehler Cabling installed over 20 miles of Lucent enhanced Category 5 cable, which was used for voice, data, video, time clocks, carbon-monoxide detection & climate control. Only the paging system required a non-Category 5 cable. Cable TV was required at the new building for weather-reporting purposes. The local cable company did not have CATV available to this newly developed area. CATV was brought to the building from City Hall over the single-mode fiber. From there, the City implemented video over Category 5 technology using Lucent impedance-matching video adapter cables. These video adapters allow any Category 5 outlet to become a CATV connection within minutes! This 235,000 square-foot building consolidated 17 remote locations under a single roof and also provides indoor storage of City vehicles. The Public Works facility is served by a single wiring closet, which contains 7 data racks & raised flooring. All but the new site was directionally bored to minimize disturbance to neighborhoods & businesses.
