A TOR that lists only brands and quantities often yields a system that passes inspection but performs poorly. Specify measurable outcomes at every outlet, how they will be measured, and the documents to hand over.
| Section | What to specify |
|---|---|
| Scope | Outlets by area, signal sources, included works |
| Performance | Signal level and quality, channel list, IPTV zapping time |
| Equipment | Measurable characteristics rather than a single brand |
| Installation | Connectors, grounding and lightning protection, labelling |
| Acceptance | Tests, number of points, report format |
| Handover | As-built riser diagram, calculations, all test results, manuals |
| Warranty and MA | Period, response time, spares, training |
65–75 dBµV at every outlet on every channel, MER margin above receiver threshold, limited level difference across frequencies, LTE/5G filter before the first amplifier, high-shield 75-ohm cable with compression connectors, compliance with IEC 60728 or the agency's standard.
Concurrent channels and resolution, IGMP snooping and IPTV VLAN, zapping time with all TVs on, central content management, integrations, and broadcast rights.
