    Name:separation of equipment so as to limit damage from local events

    Complexity: Separation can be quite a complex issue because emanations can travel over space and can be detected by a variety of means. Within a secured area, for example, Sandia is required to maintain appropriate separation between classified computing equipment and unclassified equipment, phone lines, etc. The required separations are: 6 inches between classified equipment and unclassified equipment, 6 inches between classified equipment and unclassified cables, and 2 inches between classified cables and unclassified cables. Cables include monitor/keyboard/printer cables, phone lines, etc., but NOT power cables. These separations are valid for classified systems up to and including SRD.
