Part 1: Administration
FOREWORD
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electro-
technical Commission) form the specialised system for world-wide standardisation. National
bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International
Standards through technical committees established by the respective organisation to deal
with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in
fields of mutual interest. Other international organisations, governmental and non-
governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical
committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical
committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC
Directives, Part 3.
International Standard ISO/IEC 14763-1 was prepared by subcommittee 25: Interconnection
of information technology equipment, of ISO/IEC joint technical committee 1: Information
technology.
ISO/IEC 14763 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology –
Implementation and operation of customer permises cabling:
Part 1: Administration
Part 2: Planning and installation
Part 3: Testing of optical fibre cabling.
Annexes A, B, C and D are for information only.

INTRODUCTION
To utilise the wide variety of modern telecommunications services requires an effective
telecommunications infrastructure. Cabling is a component of this infrastructure. It is needed
to transport information, in the form of electrical and optical signals, between equipment. An
effective cabling system is one that is properly installed, maintained and updated. In order to
maintain and update a cabling system, in an efficient manner, an adequate administration
system is required (see Figure 1).
An administration system consists of records that document the location of all
telecommunications components and the unique identifiers that have been assigned to those
components (see 4.4). It details the procedures for assigning identifiers to the components
and placing labels on the components. The administration system provides a structure
wherein additions, changes and deletions can be easily incorporated into the administration
documentation.

1 Scope
This International Standard identifies fundamental principles such that individuals and
organisations that own, or are responsible for a telecommunications infrastructure can, by use
of this document, develop an administration system that is suitable to their needs. This
International Standard does not recommend a specific type of administration system.

4 Cabling administration
4.1 General
Cabling administration is a system for managing cabling and connections. The administration
system enables the components of the cabling to be identified in terms of their type, location,
usage and other criteria.
The administration system may use a data base of records to maintain up-to-date information
relating to the cabling. It enables the user to keep control of moves, additions and changes to
the cabling and to generate reports on the state of the cabling system. Figure 1 gives an
overview of criteria for administration, necessary identifiers, records and examples of
linkages. The relevant cabling standards are shown in an informative flow diagram of
annex D.

4.2 Database
It is recommended that the principles of administration outlined in this clause be implemented
using a computer based administration system. For smaller, less complex systems, a well
designed paper based administration system may be adequate (see figure 2 and annex B).
The complexity of the administration system may be related to the size of the telecom-
munications infrastructure. For a small system, a customised commercial database
programme may be adequate. For a large organisation, the cabling administration system may
require a sophisticated database, an efficient data retrieval program and additional features.
For example, the computer administration package may input drawings directly from CAD
programs or may output reports to external packages or e-mail work orders and automatically
update records on completion of work and may also serve as a cabling design tool.

4.3 Identifiers
Every component related to cabling as well as pathways and spaces should have an identifier.
As an example an identifier for a telecommunications outlet (TO) may be a single unique
number. Alternatively an identifier may indicate through a code its location, type and other
information (see annex A).
4.4 Component markings
Each component shall be clearly marked with its identifier. Marking may be achieved by
securely attaching labels to the components or the component may be marked. Markings shall
be permanent, accessible and readable.
4.5 Records
4.5.1 General
Records may be produced and maintained using a computer or paper based administration
system.
Records regarding components of cabling, pathways and spaces should be linked to each
other using their identifiers and may make reference to further premises records on power,
heating, air conditioning systems, lighting, etc.
Records should include the date of installation and shall be updated whenever changes are
made to cabling infrastructure.
4.5.2 Minimum records
The following minimum records regarding cabling infrastructure shall be provided:
a) for cables: locations of end points, type, number, pairs;
b) for outlets: identifier, type, location;
c) for distributors: identifier, designation, type, location, connections;
d) the floor plan including the locations of the outlets, distributors, pathways.

4.5.3 Optional records
When changes are made to the cabling infrastructure including pathways and spaces
additional records may be necessary.
4.5.3.1 Cable records
– type of optical fibre or copper cable
