- Campus life projects: all campus life refurbishment, as well as capital and minor works must have switch and cable costs passed to a current Griffith project speedtype
- EICP (Electronic Infrastructure Capital Plan) or other large University projects should pay for all network infrastructure (including switch and cable costs)
