They use a simple carrier system and the following means are acceptable under NSTISSI 7003: The data cables should be installed in a carrier The carrier can be constructed of any material (e.g., wood, PVT, EMT, ferrous conduit) The joints and access points should be secured and be controlled by personnel cleared to the highest level of dat... undo Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit

In an Alarmed Carrier PDS, the carrier system is “alarmed” with specialized optical fibers deployed within the conduit for the purpose of sensing acoustic vibrations that usually occur when an intrusion is being attempted on the conduit in order to gain access to the cables. Alarmed carr... undo Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit

All of the connections in a Hardened Carrier System are permanently sealed completely around all surfaces with welds, epoxy or other such sealants. If the hardened carrier is buried under ground, to secure cables running between buildings for example, the carrier containing the cables is encased in c... undo Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit

A specification called the National Security Telecommunications and Information Systems Security Instruction (NSTISSI) 7003 was issued in December 1996 by the Committee on National Security Systems.[1] Approval authority, standards, and guidance for the design, installation, and maintenance for PDS are provided by NSTISSI 7003 to U.... undo Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit

At one time these systems were called "approved circuits". A complete protected distribution system includes the subscriber and terminal equipment and the... undo Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit
