Sample Technology and Communications Systems Drawings
("T" Series)


To prepare these drawings, the technology industry must be able to obtain accurate base files (floor plans) to prepare a set of “Technology” Drawings to plan and communicate the technology requirements with clients and other design professionals. The following is a summary of the general types of drawings that can be created:
 
T0 – Campus or Site Plans - Exterior Pathways and Inter-Building Backbones
 
T1 – Layout of complete building per floor - Serving Zone Boundaries, Backbone Systems, and        Horizontal Pathways
 
T2 – Serving Zones Drawings - Drop Locations and Cable ID’s
 
T3 – Communication Equipment Rooms - Plan Views - Tech and AMEP /Elevations - Racks and Walls        Elevations
 
T4 – Typical Detail Drawings - Faceplate Labeling, Firestopping, ADA, Safety, DOT, etc...
 
T5 – Schedules (Cabling and Equipment Spreadsheets) for cutovers

Sample T0 Drawings
Shows physical and logical connections from the perspective of an entire campus, such as actual building locations, exterior pathways and inter-building backbone cabling on plan view drawings and major system nodes and related connections on the logical system drawings.
