3M Communication Markets Division has completed a custom-edited specification for its Volition fiber and copper cabling systems in ARCOM's PRODUCT MASTERSPEC system. With product options presented in the document, a specifier can make project-specific edits to the optional text provided to them by 3M. As a result, the specifier and the building owner can be more assured they are getting what they want from the networking contractor or integrator.
Because ARCOM, the exclusive publisher of the American Institute of Architects' MASTERSPEC, recently began licensing sections of its industry-leading project specification system to building product manufacturers, 3M was able to develop these specifications. PRODUCT MASTERSPEC enables licensees to modify sections from the MASTERSPEC libraries and distribute them to design professionals to simplify product research and preparation of project specification documents.
PRODUCT MASTERSPEC documents are seamless when used with the 100-200 other MASTERSPEC sections which typically appear in a project specifications manual. They give specifiers documents of the same high quality, worded and formatted the same way, and compatible with the electronic editing tools which come with MASTERSPEC.
For a copy of the new 3M PRODUCT MASTERSPEC, go to www.3M.com/enterprise. The new documents also will be available to design professionals on the quarterly update CD-ROM which is sent to firms subscribing to MASTERSPEC.
