UFC 3-580-01, UNIFIED FACILITIES CRITERIA (UFC), TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUILDING CABLING SYSTEM PLANNING, DESIGN, AND ESTIMATING (22 JUN 2007) [SUPERSEDES MIL-HDBK-1012/3]., This UFC is intended to provide a telecommunications manager with a means for designing new Building Cabling Systems (BCS) or additions to existing BCS. Sufficient reference material is provided to allow for a basic understanding of a BCS and the components. The provisioning of telecommunications support for MILCON projects is outlined in MIL-HDBK-1190. This guide is intended to address only the requirements for BCS telecommunications pathways and cabling necessary to support voice, data and video systems required for new and renovated facilities. This UFC will establish an implementation concept that can be used to shape architectural templates and influence the design process for Installation Information Infrastructure Architecture (I3A). It will identify proven infrastructure construction techniques, define common practices, and serve as an authoritative implementation guide.
