SCIF Environment
One of the more challenging projects facing the customer operating with classified programs is the design, construction, and accreditation of a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) space. Of the many construction elements with enhanced requirements such as wall construction, access control and physical security layout, the telecommunications cabling is most certainly at the top of the list in sensitivity. Elements of this cabling will at times contain and protect the very asset that is considered classified. The design of the cabling system and execution of its installation are subject to rules and guidelines that are highly stringent and guarded. A thorough understanding of the requirements and regulations is necessary to perform an installation that will meet the final accreditation review with successful results. Otherwise, delays caused by improper design and material installation could result in large unforeseen costs to repair the installation in order to meet accreditation requirements and, lost revenue as you wait to receive the final approvals to begin your program work.
Capitol Cable Communications Inc. has over 500,000 square feet of successfully completed SCIF space in its resume. We have engineered and designed complex cabling systems that include fiber-to-the desk networks; campus building interconnects utilizing PDS (Protected Distribution Systems), and Audio Visual systems that meet accreditation requirements while performing with the latest control capabilities. Our customers are some of the most recognized and successful in their field and they continue to return to Capitol Cable Communications Inc. for solutions as they grow and expand their operations.
