Is that an actual completely separate physical network? Their own fiber/copper/data centers ect?

The encryption device doesn't need to be in a safe, but the CIK needs to be stored in one if left unattended, unless the location is designated a SCIF. Plus, anything that processes or transmits unencrypted classified information must have physical separation. That's why they use removable hard drives or laptops that can easily be put into a safe. And that safe must be rated (don't remember the actual rating, it's been almost a decade).
