rooms to individual workstations. The AR Installation IT staff is
responsible for designing the facility LAN, and will provide input for
cabling requirements.
2.10.6 In general, each workstation will require a data connection.
No data cable run should exceed 100 meters (300 feet) from a hub;
Figure 2-25
the design must provide IT hub rooms to comply with this
USARC, Camp
requirement. (USAR CIO criteria suggest 50 meter maximum run,
Parks, California
but TIA/EIA criteria govern.) Hub rooms in multistory buildings
should be stacked.
2.10.7 As a general rule, AR prefers to bring both fiber optic and
copper cable to its facilities when fiber optic cable is available, at a
reasonable cost, near the site. Fiber optic cable should be run to the
main telephone data room, on to the network operations center, and
on to the IT hub rooms. Fiber optic cable is not typically extended
beyond this "backbone," and any extension requires approval by
the Using Agency.

room name/numbers, directional accessibility, and similar signs. /1/
2.11.3 Exterior signage typically consists of a center monument
sign, parking accessibility signs, traffic directional signs (if
required), and similar signs. If the facility is on a larger Government
installation, the installation may have its own guidance for exterior
signs; the Design Agency should verify whether such guidance
governs.

\ The project signage will include "Minuteman" logo
plaques for the project; one aluminum for the exterior and one
bronze for the interior. These are Government-furnished and
