Commercial Building Telecommunication Wiring Standard (EIA/TIA 568) Military Handbook 419, Electronic Equipment Grounding Techniques (Unclassified) NACSIM 5203 Guidelines for Facility Design and Red/Black Installation (Classified) 9.2 9.2.1 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS General A. The purpose of these guidelines is to facilitate the planning and installation of intrabuilding telecommunication wiring with little knowledge of the telecommunication products and systems which will be subsequently installed. Installation of wiring systems during building construction or renovation is significantly less expensive and disruptive then after the building is occupied. Intrabuilding telecommunication wiring shall be designed and installed in a Physical Star Topology, although the data network may logically appear as a ring or bus. The purpose of the star topology is to lower the power penalty caused by patch cables connecting equipment and work stations, to reduce the length of cable runs and total cable requirement, and to provide rooms (centers) to concentrate and share expensive communication equipment. Figures 9.1 and 9.2 of this section are schematic drawings of a typical intrabuilding telecommunication conduit and wiring system depicting the star topology. Appendix G of this Facility Design Standards contains the telecommunication design and installation services supported by Information Services. Building telecommunication equipment shall be located in six distinct areas within a building: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 9.2.2 Main IWCs The Main IWCs serve as the primary telecommunications distribution center in a building, or on a floor in a multistory building. This room contains the feeder cable connections to the outside world, and distributes the intrabuilding telecommunication backbone cables to other IWCs, Satellite IWCs, and telephone closets. Telephone company cables, LMMS alarm cables, and interbuilding fiber optic and coax cables shall be terminated in this room. This room contains voice telephone equipment, LMMS Meter, Alarm, and Control Cable Network (MACCNET) terminations, Communication Network Utility (CNU) equipment, and building data communication system equipment. Telecommunication EMI/RFI filters may be located in this room if there is a security requirement to filter all outside telephone lines to a building.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS SECURITY A. The objective of communication wiring security is to prevent signals (voice or data) that are meant to be classified and encrypted from exiting the secure envelope or building, in a clear non-encrypted form. The responsible organization for determining security requirements for telecommunications design is LMMS Technical Security organization. For specific secure telecommunications design standards, refer to Section 6, Security Design Standards.

9.12.1

Communication Filters A. Communication filters are commonly employed to remove compromising Radio Frequency (RF) electrical signals from telecommunication cables exiting a classified area. These filters electronic circuits hermetically sealed metal cases about 5 inches long x 2-1/2 inches wide x 1 -/2 inches deep, and each case will accommodate a pair of telecommunications wire. Different filters are required to filter the different frequencies for voice and for various data transmission rates. Assistance in selecting specific filters may be obtained from LMMS Telecommunication Services organization or from the Electrical Engineering group of LMMS Facility Engineering organization. Also refer to Section 6, Security Design Standards. Filters shall be mounted in a National Electrical Manufacturer Association (NEMA) shielded cabinet constructed of a minimum 14 gauge cold-rolled steel with continuous welded seams (NEMA 1 cabinet), and finished with a protective primer and enamel. The cabinet is constructed so that the input and output terminals of the filter are shielded from each other in separate compartments under removable covers. One compartment is fitted with a corrosion resistant RF gasket around the cover to maintain RF isolation between the two ends of the filter. Cabinets are available in various standard sizes to accommodate existing and future filter requirements. All filter slots need not be filled initially, but added filters must be from the same manufacturer to assure proper mounting in the cabinet. All filter slots must be covered or filled to maintain RF isolation. The filters should be arranged in multiples of 25, and grouped together by type. The voice frequency filters should be grouped, the low speed data filters grouped, etc. Filters shall be terminated using plastic insulated, 24 AWG solid copper twisted pair wires. Wires shall be neatly bundled and routed inside the cabinet, with different color insulation used for each different type of filter. White colored insulation shall be used for voice frequency filters, green colored insulation for low speed (9.6 kbps) data filters, red colored insulation for medium speed (19.2 kbps) data filters, and blue colored insulation for high speed (56 kbps) data filters. Other filter pass bands shall use black colored wire insulation.

Filter wiring shall be terminated on standard 50 pair M series TelCo punch down connecting blocks mounted inside the cabinet. A separate connecting block shall be used to terminate each side of the filter in the two compartments of the cabinet. The filters shall be consecutively terminated from top-to-bottom on the blocks without skipping any connectors, and each side of the filter must be terminated in the same order. Filters shall be numbered in descending order beginning with the first number in the cabinet, and the terminations on the connecting blocks shall be labeled with this number. This numbering scheme should group the filters by type. Unused, vacant filter mounting slots shall be included in the numbering scheme. For communication filter cabinet wiring schematic detail, refer to LMMS Engineering Construction Details in FES Construction Specifications, Volume IV, Electrical.
