Draft Designation: DR AS 3085.1:2021The objective of this document is to provide a standard format for cabling requirements used in tender and construction drawings. This document provides basic specifications for identification and recording of components during design and at the time of installation in order to aid in the administration of application, maintenance and reconfiguration of telecommunications cabling infrastructure. It also includes consideration of the application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) software in the production of cabling infrastructure physical layout drawings.
This document —
(a) facilitates standardized methods for specifying, recording and interpreting plant by all staff and contractors;
(b) allows single person or single contractor dependencies to be avoided;
(c) facilitates planning and administration by remote staff, such as information systems administrators, centralized help desks, or specialist consultants;
(d) increases the speed of network troubleshooting and reduces down-time;
(e) allows rapid identification and restoration of services after major building events, e.g. fire, flood or vandalism damage;
(f) provides backup records allowing labels on plant to be restored if removed or damaged; and
(g) facilitates standardization of engineering drawings prepared for the purpose of tender specifications, contract documents; and as-built records including drawings and cross connections.
The particular requirements of this Standard supplement the general requirements specified in AS/NZS 14763.2 Information technology — Implementation and operation of customer premises cabling, Part 2: Planning and installation (ISO/IEC 14763‐2 (ED. 2.0) MOD). This document is intended to be read in conjunction with AS/NZS 14763.2.
Where AS/NZS 14763.2 specifies generic requirements for cabling infrastructure administration including labelling, capture of test results and database record systems, this document covers the methodology for documenting components of the cabling and pathway systems by way of infrastructure drawings and for the recording of installation particulars.
The respective coverage of topics associated with cabling infrastructure documentation and administration in this document as compared to AS/NZS 14763.2 is summarized in the cross reference matrix provided in Appendix F.
The terms “normative” and “informative” are used in Standards to define the application of the appendices to which they apply. A “normative” appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an “informative” appendix is only for information and guidance.
