Network Infrastructure
The Network Infrastructure consists of all the fiber optic, copper and coax
cabling as well as the telecommunication rooms used to support the Campus
Network and other networking functions on campus. The Network Infrastructure
Group is responsible in developing standards and managing activities related to
the network infrastructure for building construction, remodeling and network
upgrade projects.
The Field Services portion of the Network Infrastructure Group provides onsite
support of the campus network equipment and infrastructure. In most cases this
work is performed in collaboration with the department’s Authorized Agent. Field
Services provides training to Authorized Agent on appropriate procedures and
processes for managing the in-building network.
The Network Infrastructure Group has developed standards for:
- Signal conduit and maintenance pits
- Fiber optic cabling for outside and inside plant
- Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling for voice and data connections
- Telecommunication room space, power and HVAC
- Voice service distribution inside buildings
