INF.12.A8 Removing and Disabling Cables No Longer Required [IT Operation Department, Building Services] (S)

If power cables are no longer required, they SHOULD be properly and completely removed. After cables have been removed, firestop seals MUST be professionally sealed.

Cables that are currently no longer needed but can be reasonably left in place as a reserve with the existing technology SHOULD be maintained in a serviceable condition. At minimum, such cables MUST be labelled accordingly at their end points.

In principle, an overview of cables that are no longer needed SHOULD be created. The documentation SHOULD show which cables have been removed or disabled.
