I am working on a print and came across a symbol that I do not recognize. Haven't ever seen it before.

Any help would be appreciated.

Something from Space Invaders?

Seriously, isn't there some sort of legend on the prints?

Taking a wild, but educated guess - DATA?

I would suggest an RFI (Request for Information) if not on a legend....

Yeah, there is a legend. But . . . this symbol is not on it. Typical triangle/delta symbols for phone & network.

My guess, some sort of interface port, Telephone, cat, house services, etc ...

Ediited in:
Then the file was translated once. I've seen this mis-disinformation before.
A static menu is used to place symbols blocks or cells from a digitizier menu that will get switched once sent through a translation to another CAD program and there symbol library.

Then definitely call and find out what it is and what your responsibilities to it are. Looks important enough not to miss on a bid...

Data acquisition and server rooms? I have NEVER seen that either. That is about as vague as vague could be.

somebody say Star Trek, I am the self proclaimed Star Trek expert of this forum. (the origional series of course) that symbol looks more like something that you might see on The Next Generation or some other bastardized version of Star Trek. Or it could be an arcitechts version of a data symbol

The closest thing to that I could find on any print legend I can get my hands on is an "optical service router" outlet. Could this be a fiber jack?

Vet says sir I'm sorry your dog is really dead. Guy says ok can you take care of burying the dog?, sure no problem. How much do I owe you? Vet says $850.00. That's kinda high to bury the dog.

You didn't mention the chocolate & golden labaradors who sniffed the dog. That's another $450 for the Lab tests!.
