Preferred Telecommunications Standards
Network Services promotes the use of widely accepted industry standards in deploying
the university telecommunications infrastructure. Employees of the university,
consultants and contractors working on behalf of the university should have
a working knowledge of these standards prior to performing work for the university
and should follow the university preferred standards and practices while deploying
telecommunications infrastructure. University employees, consultants and contractors
should contact Network Services for clarification and interpretation of these
standards. The following standards are practiced at the University of Florida:
University Preferred Standards and Practices
UF Campus Labeling Conventions.
Selecting Telecommunications Contractors.
UF Telecommunications Standards.
Telecommunications Room Design.
