Description

Safeguard the public telecommunications network by applying the state-of-the-art requirements in the 2009 NFPA 76!

Today, society and the economy are more dependent than ever on the telecommunications network for emergency communications, security, and transfer of electronic data, so protecting the public network from threats is essential. The 2009 NFPA 76: Standard for the Fire Protection of Telecommunications Facilities provides the latest requirements for fire protection of facilities providing telephone, data, wireless, internet, and video services to the public–plus the most up-to-date requirements for life safety issues.

This vital document includes both performance-based and prescriptive options for:

Telecommunications equipment spaces
Cable entrance facilities
Power areas and battery spaces
Main distribution frames
Standby engine areas
Technical support areas
Administrative areas
Building services and support areas within large and small facilities

Among the changes in the 2009 edition of NFPA 76:

Whereas the 2005 edition specifically excluded telecommunications facilities with less than 46.5 m2 (500 ft2) of signal-processing equipment areas, the 2009 edition only excludes the prescriptive-based approach of Chapter 6 for such facilities. The guidance and requirement of all chapters and annexes other than Chapter 6 do apply.
Clarifications were made regarding requirements for new wire, cable, and signal-processing telecommunications equipment.
