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 work of Henry James has always seemed divisible by a simple dynastic arrangement into three reigns: James I, James II, and the Old Pretender.”
—Philip Guedalla (1889–1944)
“The man who pretends that the distribution of income in this country reflects the distribution of ability or character is an ignoramus. The man who says that it could by any possible political device be made to do so is an unpractical visionary. But the man who says that it ought to do so is something worse than an ignoramous and more disastrous than a visionary: he is, in the profoundest Scriptural sense of the word, a fool.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
