Telecommunications Installation Criteria for

Facility Design & Renovation

“ Tab K “

Statement of Purpose

The guidance in this document will be followed by all base agencies and their contractors to plan, design, review, and evaluate telecommunications cabling and distribution systems. The document contains standards for pre-wiring new and remodeled facilities; further, Tab K directly supports Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 3-580-01 by identifying minimum essential factors to be considered when telecommunications pre-wiring support is addressed.

The base Communications-Computer Systems Officer (CSO) has determined that all minor construction and renovations on Whiteman AFB funded with Operations and Maintenance

(O&M 3400) funds, and all non-appropriated funds (NAF) facility modifications shall comply with UFC 3-580-01, AFCA Technical Bulletin 95-03, and this document. Revisions to Tab K will be prepared and distributed by 509 CS when higher headquarters guidance, USAF communications standards, or other contributing agency standards warrant changes.

Additionally, 509 CS recognizes the inherent need to maintain close interaction with BCE on all project issues and we invite comments or recommendations for changes to Tab K.

1. Technical references:

The purpose of Tab K is to provide design criteria for planning telecommunications cabling and distribution systems. Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 3-580-01 states pre-wiring shall be included in all military facility construction projects accomplished with 3300 series funding. The Communications

System Officer (CSO) has mandated that all pre-wiring must comply with UFC 3-580-01, TB 95-03 and

TAB-K. Compliance with Tab K will improve maintenance by establishing a standard for communications systems. Department of Defense (DOD) publications direct the use of commercial standards whenever they meet DOD needs. The commercial standards referenced in UFC 3-580-01 and Technical bulletin

(TB) 95-03 shall be followed along with Tab K. References made to TB 95-03 are noted in square brackets.
