A. Building Wiring Facilities

The University has adopted a standard for communications wiring to support current and future communication requirements within its buildings. (Refer to IRM Communication Infrastructure Specification.) This standard shall be used by all agencies and staff offices in the planning and design of all office buildings, including the wiring of new and the upgrading of existing buildings. This applies to both FAU and leased FAU buildings. IRM’s Communications Services Infrastructure (CSI) shall review all plans for communication wiring and must approve installation of wire or other communication media. IRM’s University Learning Resources shall review the installation of presentation and teleconferencing equipment wiring in all new construction.

B. Conduit and Cable Facilities

The conduit and cable system for all voice and data communications on all FAU campuses is managed by IRM’s, CSI. IRM staff maintains records of all voice and data communication infrastructure on all campuses, including outside cable and conduit as well as in building wiring up to the individual jack. No department may use the University's inside wire plant for voice communication without the consent of IRM, and payment of applicable one-time and/or monthly charges. No department may use, reconfigure or re-terminate the University outside communication plant under any circumstances without the express written consent of the IRM Associate Provost.
