11.    Recommendations

11.8    Building Blocks

As far as possible, the system should be constructed from available, commercial off-the-shelf building blocks, ruggedised if necessary.

One exception to this recommendation applies in the area of the Fibre Optic Cable Plant. It is recommended that fully qualified parts, such as cables, connectors and splices are used unless rigorous analysis shows lower quality parts to be appropriate. It is concluded that the extra initial outlay in this area will prove cost-effective in terms of the system lifecycle.
