Cable Installation Requirements:
The following requirements are the minimal standards for any installation of the GOLIATH
System within the Walgreens Environment. Please review the “Best Practice Do’s and
Don’ts” which are found in the
Appendix B- Support Documents. The mandatory
standards are:
 All cables must be run through the roof girders.
 The label on both ends of the cable must match the correct antenna location and
the correct port on the MEU.
 If the roof girders are too high, they must be routed through existing bridal rings or
suspended from roof girders using wire hangers.
 Exception ceiling where roof girders are not available, like a concrete ceiling, will
be handled on an exception basis. For clarification, contact the Help Desk prior to
installation.
 Cables may never be attached to wires supporting the ceiling grid.
 Cables may never touch any water or gas pipes. At a minimum, the cables need
to be 1 inch from the pipe. Be sure to allow for sag.
 Cables may never touch any threaded support rods.
 Cables cannot be supported by HVAC equipment.
 Cables are not allowed to be lying directly on top of ceiling tiles.
 Receivers must be secured to the ceiling tile in the store or attached to the roof
girder in the stock room.
 MEU’s must either be secured to a center post or be suspended from the roof
girders.
 A minimum service loop will be fixed at the MEU to facilitate the installation. All
additional excess cable will be in a service loop at the antenna location.
 All service loops must be self supporting and secured by a minimum of two cable
ties. The service loop is not allowed to rest on the ceiling tile.
 The service loop should be no less than 10 inches diameter “About the size of a
volley ball”.
 Use only clear or white cable ties. The only exception to clear or white ties is the
36” cable tie provided for the mounting of the MEU.
 Cable ties must be trimmed.
Any deviation from the above is a violation and will require correction by the CIT in
a follow up visit.
Uncoil/unroll the cable prior to pulling the cable
to ensure that you do not have any
kinks. If there are kinks in the cable you may damage the cable when pulling it. When
pulling the cable, be careful not to pull too hard or force the cable when pulling it. This
could easily damage the internal cable or the connectors at the end of cable.
The cable run with the power for the MEU should be the first pull.
The cable run for stock room should be your second pull.
