ISO/IEC 18010:2002 ED1

Information technology - Pathways and spaces for customer premises cabling

Scope

Specifies the structure and requirements for pathways and spaces
within or between buildings for information exchange and telecommunications cabling
according to ISO/IEC 11801 and ISO/IEC 15018.
Both single- and
multi-tenant buildings are considered;
safety aspects of the building design, fire stopping measures or
telecommunications systems that require any special types of security measures are not covered.

The telecommunications infrastructure is an integral part of building design. It may include
voice, data, environmental control, security, audio, television, sensing, alarms, paging and
other low voltage and power limited signal systems. These systems are subject to frequent
changes. Design of the pathways and spaces should accommodate this dynamic behaviour.
This Standard significantly influences the design of other building services, such as electrical
power and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC).
Generally it makes no specific recommendations among the design options
available for telecommunications pathways and spaces.
