SERVICES AND SYSTEMS
Meeting and Ballroom Specifications (continued)
Each meeting room and divisible section of meeting rooms or ballrooms shall have. Sufficient
additional voice jacks in A/V niches to provide the required level of service.
The pre-function space to large meeting rooms and ballrooms and main meeting room corridors
of function space shall have sufficient voice and data cables to provide computer, registration
and telephone service at the entrances to these rooms for groups using these facilities. Each
voice and data line will be run with Cat 5 e cable (see section 7.1, distance applies to Data

Meeting room and Ballroom convention facilities will run all voice and data lines to a specified
IDF. These lines will be terminated on separate patch panel blocks, one for voice and one for
data. The voice patch panel will allow connections between the end or room point of the voice
connection to the patch block in the cross connect closet, both end with RJ-11 connectors. In a
similar set-up there will be a block in the cross connect closet that will connect to a block in the
PBX room also using RJ-11 connector panel blocks. The Data Connection will be terminated
and mounted on an appropriate rack system that will allow for network equipment to be
mounted as well.
In open areas, gathering areas of convention space, CAT5E should be placed outside the actual
meeting rooms themselves. Power should also be made available near the CAT5E connection.
This will allow Technology Services to add Wireless Access points to allow wireless laptops
and devices to be used for the convention.
