Terms
Term Definition
MTTC Room Room which contains a cable rack or distribution frame used
for telephony. It is used to interconnect and manage
telecommunication wiring from telco provider to mall
structured cabling.
Globe Telco Room Room used by Globe where they install their BTS for their
mobile signal and node for voice and data requirement of the
mall.
SMART/SUN/PLDT Room for SMART/SUN BTS equipment for their mobile
Telco Room signal and PLDT equipment for wired voice and data
requirement of the mall.
Combiner Room Room used for the CDAS equipment to combine the three
mobile signal for propagation inside the mall using single
pico cell network.
IT/MDF Room Equipment room used for:
 LAN/WAN network connectivity of SCMC mall
admin
 Tenant data connectivity to SCMC Head Office
This room houses the mall’s core switches, servers, and fiber
ring interconnections.
Admin IDF Room This room houses the admin office’s network switches and
cabling.
Mall IDF Room This room houses mall CCTV and network switches and
cabling for both voice and data.

houses the CCTV server and storage of the mall rather than
locating the unit within the CRS office.

General Guidelines
Guidelines  This document contains minimum guidelines for telephone, data, video
and other general telecommunications ICT distribution system.
 These guidelines are general in nature and may be modified as necessary
to accommodate special design or functional requirements.
 Wiring standards are dynamic and constantly changing due to continually
evolving network standards.
 In some buildings (i.e. existing, etc.), ICT needs to customize CEF and
risers.
Requirements Basic requirement for new buildings structures includes the following:
 underground service entrance ducts
 telecommunications rooms
 conduit riser systems
 horizontal cable distribution system
 building wiring
Existing building renovation or expansion may or may not necessarily require the
construction of new telecommunications rooms and duct bank.
Recommendation The ICT Group shall review if there is a need for the construction of new
telecommunications rooms and duct bank. If deemed needed, construction of such
shall then be recommended.

Distribution System
Cable Entrance The following are the design guidelines for the Cable Entrance Facility.

SM City Mall  Unless specifically directed by ICT, all new
SM Center Mall buildings will be designed with a minimum
BPO Buildings: quantity of four conduits by four-inch (4x4”)
Main CEF (CEF1) PVC pipes with guide wires on each conduit.
 CEF consideration would either be via:
 underground service manhole
 service entrance pedestal
This is subject for the approval of the
AOR/SMEDD Design.
 The conduit run shall be extended to the
primary distribution room or MDF Room of
the building and be positioned in the right rear
corner of the MDF room, 4 inches from the
rear wall and shall be stubbed 4 inches above
the floor finish.
BPO Buildings:  Redundant CEF shall be provided on all new

Redundant/Diversity CEF BPO buildings with a minimum quantity of
