40、 healthcare facilities, there may be a substantial number of authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs). Designers and installers are encouraged to thoroughly research the requirements established by these AHJs. Useful supplements to this Standard are the most current revisions of the following BICSI do
41、cuments: Telecommunications Distribution Methods Manual, Outside Plant Design Manual, and Information Transport Systems Installation Methods Manual. These manuals provide practices and methods by which many of the requirements of this Standard are implemented. Other references are listed in Annex A.
42、 Annexes There is one annex to this Standard. Annex A is informative and not considered a requirement of this Standard. Introduction This Standard specifies a telecommunications cabling system for healthcare facilities and buildings that will support a multi-product, multi-vendor environment. It als
43、o provides information that may be used for the design of telecommunications products for these enterprises. Purpose The purpose of this Standard is to enable the planning and installation of a structured cabling system for healthcare facilities and buildings. Installation of cabling systems during
44、building construction or renovation is significantly less expensive and less disruptive than after the building is occupied. This applies, in particular, to operating facilities that will have additional restrictions (e.g. infection control) on access to spaces and areas after occupancy. Selection o
45、f media and network design is of particular importance for larger healthcare facilities, which may have a useful life far longer than traditional office-oriented commercial buildings. This Standard establishes performance and technical criteria for various cabling system configurations for accessing
46、 and connecting their respective elements. In order to determine the requirements of a generic cabling system, performance requirements for various telecommunications services were considered. The diversity of services currently available, coupled with the continual addition of new services, means t
47、hat there may be cases where limitations to desired performance occur. When applying specific applications to these cabling systems, the user is cautioned to consult application standards, regulations, equipment vendors, system suppliers, and service suppliers for applicability, limitations, and anc
48、illary requirements. Stewardship Telecommunications infrastructure affects raw material consumption. The infrastructure design and installation methods also influence product life and sustainability of electronic equipment life cycling. These aspects of telecommunications infrastructure impact our e
49、nvironment. Since building life cycles are typically planned for decades, technological electronic equipment upgrades are necessary. The telecommunications infrastructure design and installation process magnifies the need for sustainable infrastructures with respect to building life, electronic equipment life cycling and considerations of effects on environmental waste. Telecommunications designers are encouraged to research local building practices for a sustainable environment and conservation of fossil fuels as part of the design pr
