KSC-STD-E-0021, KSC TELECOMMUNICATION PREMISES DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS, DESIGN OF, STANDARD FOR (31 OCT 2002)., This standard provides design guidance to premises distribution designers and facility contractors in the design, bid/proposal cycle and implementation phases of a Premises Distribution System (PDS). Typically, the PDS will operate in a multiproduct, multivendor environment at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and provide an infrastructure for the entire communication network. Designs for future facilities and modifications to existing facilities will require a specific and structured design approach. This approach will contribute to systems being more easily designed and maintained, provide open-ended growth, simplify parts sparing, and reduce the time required to support moves and changes within a facility. Every facility PDS design is unique. There are, however, many similarities between the subsystems with the designer follows the suggestions in this standard. The purpose of this standard is to standardize the overall approach of hte design and implementation of Premises Distribution Systems at KSC. This approach will yield benefits in the areas of maintenance, spare parts provisioning, moves, and changes and will provide a better bid and proposal process. This standard also provides direction to the designer and installer to enable a structured approach to be used.
