SECTION I:

NEW CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMMING

1.0 NEW CONSTRUCTION

This section identifies the major components of a telecommunications distribution system and provides general guidelines for architects and facility planners. The material contained in this section is designed to assist in the program planning for new construction and remodeling projects. Its focus is on space planning and development of an understanding of the structural components necessary for a telecommunications distribution system.

This section should be used in conjunction with Section 3, Infrastructure & Pathways Details, which contains greater detail on each of the major structure components in order to prepare actual working designs.

1.1 DESIGN ELEMENTS

There are two major aspects of a good telecommunications distribution design: spaces, and pathways. Each of these two aspects consists of multiple components as defined below:

1.1.1

Spaces Building Service Entrance - The room in which voice, data, and video distribution media systems enter the building.

Equipment Room - The space allocated to housing (and supporting) telecommunications systems which will service the building, such as a PBX, backbone network equipment, and/or video transmission equipment.

Telecommunication Closet - The space or spaces on each floor of a building which are utilized to interconnect the Building Backbone (Riser) system to station (user) locations on a given floor and house local (department-based) electronic equipment.

1.1.2

Pathways Interbuilding Distribution System - The conduit, tunnel system, or buried media support structures between buildings.

Building Backbone (Riser) - The pathways which connect all telecommunications rooms and spaces throughout an individual building.

Horizontal Pathways - The pathways from the Telecommunication Closet to the station (user) locations on a given floor.

Station Outlet - The ultimate termination of a voice, data, video, or signal circuit.

The building design must address each of the above areas as a service or a component of an entire system. Problems occur when designs focus on only one or two of the components and do not consider how the entire building's distribution system will be
