configuration must be provided in lieu of the direct
wired. If the facility will not be under local
jurisdiction, the direct wired configuration could
be provided per User request; however, it is
preferred that the Government design be consistent
with local practice. If top entry service poles are
used for power interfacing, the junction box
configuration is preferred for all locations.

Internal Connections
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Some local codes require hardwired
connections with the panels and/or spine walls. If
local codes are to be followed, this item will need
to be verified.
**************************************************************************
Internal panel-to-panel [spine wall-to-spine wall] [spine wall-to-panel]
power connections shall utilize [straight or flexible plug/receptacle
connector assemblies] [hardwired connections] and shall be installed to
provide the powered configurations shown on the drawings.
2.9.4.2
Connections to Building Services
External [power] [and] [communications] services shall be supplied to the
panels [spine walls] via [direct-wired [top] [base] entry modules.] [hard
wired [top] [base] entry junction box assemblies.] [Wiring from building
services shall be extended to the entry modules or panel [spine wall] bases
in metal conduit or tubing or in flexible liquidtight conduit 1830 mm 6 foot
maximum.] [Wiring from building services shall be extended to junction
box assemblies in metal conduit or tubing. Wiring from junction boxes
shall be flexible liquid-tight conduit 1830 mm 6 foot maximum or in metal
conduit or tubing.] Cord and plug assemblies shall not be used for any
portion of external links. [Base feed modules shall plug into the end or
either side of the raceway at receptacle doors.] [Top entry [modules]
[junction box assemblies] shall extend the [power] [and] [communications]
wiring into service entry poles attached to the electrified panels.]
External wiring shall conform to Section 16402 INTERIOR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.
2.9.5
Wire Management
Wire management capability shall be provided at all workstations. Actual
wire management capacity shall accommodate all cable types specified,
including the applicable manufacturer required bending radius at corners.
Raceways and interfaces to the raceways shall be designed to accommodate
the bend radius as shown in EIA ANSI/TIA/EIA-569-A for Category [5] [_____]
[and] [fiber optic cables] communication wiring [whichever is greater].
The capability may be accomplished by cable access cutouts (1 minimum per
work surface), covered wire management troughs in vertical end panels,
horizontal wiring troughs, internal midpanel (beltline) raceways, or rear
gaps (between the back edge of the work surface and the facing support
panel). Grommet kits or another suitable finish arrangement shall be
provided for all cable cutouts. Accessories for an externally mounted
vertical and horizontal wire management and concealment system shall be
provided [as indicated on the contract drawings] [as recommended by the
manufacturer]. Horizontal wire managers shall be supplied for mounting
under all work surfaces. The wire managers shall be attached either to the
