Intrabuilding Pathway Element
An itrabuilding pathway element is a cabling support vessel that typically connects one space to another or runs the span of a common routing cable route, but resides in one space. The format for the intrabuilding pathway element shall be fs-UUU.n.d(q) or fs1/fs2-UUU.n.d(q), where:
fs = Identifier for a space which is derived by combining the level and the building area in which the space is located. The space can be represented by the space ID (if present) or a user defined identifier (descriptor).
fs1 = Identifier for the space containing the termination of one end of the horizontal pathway, typically the most central or lowest alpha-numeric identifier
fs2 = Identifier for the space containing the termination of the other end of the horizontal pathway, typically the least central or highest alpha-numeric identifier
UUU = a user defined identifier referring to the type of element (descriptor)
n = two to four numeric characters identifying the pathway element (major ID)
d = detail information such as port, sub-duct, optical fiber and pair (minor ID)
q = qualifying information
The pathway records shall contain the following information:
| • | intrabuilding pathway identifier (primary indexing identifier, |
e.g., 3A/3B-CT01)
| • | pathway type (e.g.: Cable Tray) |
| • | pathway fill (e.g.: 20%) |
| • | pathway loading |
| • | cable records |
| • | space record1 (e.g.: 3A) |
| • | space record2 (e.g.: 3B) |
| • | grounding record |
Additional items of information desired by the system owner or operator may be added to each record, such as:
| • | pathway length (e.g.: 40m (132ft)) |
| • | pathway max fill (e.g.: 40%) |
| • | pathway max load |
| • | pathway condition |
| • | number of bends |
