Simple Distribution PDS
Simple Distribution PDSs are afforded a reduced level of physical security protection as compared to a Hardened Distribution PDS. They use a Simple Carrier System (SCS) and the following means are acceptable under NSTISSI 7003:
- The data cables should be installed in a carrier
- The carrier can be constructed of any material (e.g., wood, PVT, EMT, ferrous conduit)
- The joints and access points should be secured and be controlled by personnel cleared to the highest level of data handled by the PDS
- The carrier is to be inspected in accordance with the requirements of NSTISSI 7003

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or distribution:
“The birth of the new constitutes a crisis, and its mastery calls for a crude and simple cast of mind—the mind of a fighter—in which the virtues of tribal cohesion and fierceness and infantile credulity and malleability are paramount. Thus every new beginning recapitulates in some degree man’s first beginning.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“In this distribution of functions, the scholar is the delegated intellect. In the right state, he is, Man Thinking. In the degenerate state, when the victim of society, he tends to become a mere thinker, or, still worse, the parrot of other men’s thinking.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
