Q2: Is SIPRNET required for epoxy of all electrical fittings?

Q3: Is the existing fire alarm and all other systems being brought into the space on fiber now, or will we have to upgrade systems to eliminate the copper coming in and leaving the space?

Q4: Is the power separated, do we need a filter on the main feeder to the SCIF?

Q5: Will a self-contained comm room AC unit be considered vs a split system? Condenser heat would be rejected to the ceiling/interstitial space above.
