ANSI SCTE 87:2017 pdf download.Graphic Symbols for Cable Systems.
The scope of this documentation is to illustrate the symbols recommended for Telecommunication
drafting needs. It also provides recommendations for attributes both visible on the drafted map as well as embedded in the symbol when building a database mapping application. This will provide better data capturing and provide a better source of record for internal and external users.
It will provide much better benefit when moving to a mobile solutions to our boundary partners. With the need tbr a cleaner and more intuitive maps the data captured is needed in more granular detail ol’ information with embedded attributes or extended symbol attributes which allows for more comprehensive data. Due to the necessary crowding of symbols onto telecommunication system mapping and grid diagrams. some symbols are structured differently than those used in electrical and electronic diagrams
1.3. Benefits
The need for this is to provide a much better view at the system drafted maps and provide the designers and drafters a consistent input. This will support when developing a Rulebook for their drafting application that would assist in developing drafting standards and rules.
The benefit using this will assistance to make better engineering decisions, help with reports and easier to make transitions into other tools that rely on consistence data integrity. It also provides the benefit to make the data more consistence across the industry.
The benefits for this are long term this is a living and growing document. It will constantly grow and change but the core symbols and fundamentals are mostly consistence, attribute could change more olen which would help streamline data input and improve reporting and decision planning.
The benefit for this on the industry would help align all companies with more consistency, support job sharing with Design and Drafting within markets, aid the field technicians both locally and when traveling to another market and this will help with joining forces when companies need to come together and provide tie points for national backbone connections
1.4. Intended Audience
The intended audience initially for this would be for the Design & Drafting then all Field personnel with a mobile mapping viewer (or plotted maps when needed), Business Services, Dispatch, Network Operation Centers, as the data is captured and consistently placed the more need for other departments will rely on this data.
1.5. Areas for Further Investigation or to be Added in Future Versions
Areas that will need to be further investigated would be the attribute needed or required for each symbol.
As newer technology is introduced we will need to update the type of symbols and attributes required.
