Optical Fibre Hazard - Area Classification
Open office areas are deemed “unrestricted access” areas
Secure IT rooms can be “unrestricted”, “restricted access” or “controlled” areas.
The Classes of equipment, the associated Hazard levels and operating practices allowed within “unrestricted”,“restricted” and “controlled” areas differ.
It is possible to have a designated “controlled” area within a “restricted” area provided that operating proceduresprevent unauthorized access
UNRESTRICTED ACCESS Protective housing with open access
RESTRICTED ACCESS Protective housing with no public access
CONTROLLED ACCESS
Protective housing with access limited to trained and authorized personnel(authorized and safety trained personnel only)
Implementation rules depend upon the“access” category
