ANSI SCTE 229-2016 pdf free download – Operational Practice for Cable Facility Design Process.
1.2. Scope
This document addresses the design of cable facilities that house inside plant equipment which is part of the network through which services are delivered to customers. It is noted that a single building may include both technical and non-technical facilities. Non-technical facilities would include, for example, general office, warehouse, technical operations, and customer service counters. The Operational Practice for Cable Facility Design Process does not address the design on non-technical spaces, however the fundamental OP described in this document can be applied to non- technical spaces. And, for facilities that include both technical and non-technical facilities, the design of the entire facility is best conducted using the Operational Practice for Cable Facility Design Process, given that the technical facility component demands higher standards of design and construction, and is most immediately important to the delivery of services.
1.3. Benefits Through the application of the Operational Practice for Cable Facility Design Process, the cable operator can best realize improved ability to remain competitive, particularly with respect to non-facilities-based service providers, by being able to deploy new and more attractive services/products to existing and new customers as a result of having well-designed, capable cable facilities in place that support, not hinder, the installation of network equipment in support of such services.
With respect to any given cable facility designed under this OP, the cable operator can expect to realize benefits:
• In the short-term (6-18 months), improved use of capital funding over as a result of:
o a more efficient and effective design process
o the optimization of capital costs, and
o a more efficient facility construction and delivery.
• Over the long-term (18 months to 10 years), of:
o higher facility availability
o more control over facility expansion by virtue of planning at the outset for expansion
o lower capital costs and shorter timeframes for expansion of cable facilities to meet demand (planned and un-planned)
o improved energy efficiency, and
o lower operating and maintenance costs.
1.4. Intended Audience
The primary intended audience for the OP is cable operator personnel having responsibility for inside plant network engineering and implementation, as well as cable operator personnel having responsibility for the construction and operation of cable facilities. Secondarily, the intended audience includes any cable operator personnel having in interest in the design, construction, operation, and use of a cable facility. Such would include personnel in corporate and regional finance groups, technical operations groups, and groups responsible for products and services. Finally, the intended audience also includes professionals outside of the cable operator who provide design, engineering, project management and other professional services to the cable operator with respect to cable facilities. Such professionals include licensed architects, professional engineers (e.g. electrical, mechanical, structural, civil), urban planners, and specialty consultants, all of whom are trained and skilled in the design and implementation of buildings and may, or may not, have immediate experience with the designing and implementing cable facilities for cable operators.
