Facilities to add flexibility. If the hard-wired connections can be combined into a single
junction box then the cover plate to that junction box must allow for multiple
connections. In some unique situations, the cable television (CATV)/internal video
connection can also be combined into a single junction box with the appropriate cover
plate. Identify the preference for individual or combined telephone/data/video outlets
with the following Service-specific contacts:
a. The Installation Manager for Army projects,
b. The project manager for Air Force projects, and
