An administration system for telecommunications infrastructure within buildings and between buildings ma y
include:
 assigning identifiers to components of the infrastructure
specifying elements of information that mak e up records for each identifier
specifying relationships between these records to access the information they contain
specifying reports presenting information on groups of records, and
specifying graphical and symbolic requirements

ANSI/TIA-606-C Administration Classes

Four classes of administration are specified in this Standard to accommodate the wide range of complexity
present in the cabling plant.  Class 1 conta ins the less stringent and Class 4 contains the most
stringent administration requirements.  The size and complexity of the cabling plant are the most relevant
considerations in determining the minimum class of administr ation.

The four classes of administration are:

Class 1 provides for the telecommunications infrastructure administration needs of a premises that is
served by a single equipment room (ER)
Class 2 provides for the telecommunications infrastructure administration needs of a single building or
of a tenant that is served by single or multiple telecommunications spaces (e.g., an equipment r oom with
one or more telecommunications rooms) within a single building
Class 3 provides for the telecommunications infrastructure administration needs of a campus, including
its buildings and outside plant elements
Class 4 provides for the telecommunications infrastructure administration needs of a multi-
campus/multi-site system

An administration system may be managed using a paper-based system, gener al purpose spreadsheet
software, special-purpose cable management software, or Automated Infrastructure Management (AIM)
systems.

ANSI/TIA-606-C Elements

This Standard specifies an administration system for the following elements of a generic telecommunications
infrastructure:

Cabling Subsystem 1, 2, and3 pathways and cabling

Telecommunications bonding and grounding
Spaces (e.g., entrance facility, telecommunications room, equipment room), and
Fire-stopping
