What Jamie said. An exit through a fire-rated separation; the reason for Class I connections on both sides is that one side is presumed to be separated and safe from the fire on the other.
Remember though, that if you are considering said connections based on prescriptive code requirements, you should check out whether there's an exception your state's adopted version of the IBC, section 905.4 (Location of Class I standpipe hose connections. The new California version, based on 2006 includes the following for location of connections, which I think is straight IBC without amendments: 905.4.2 On each side of the wall adjacent to the exit opening of a horizontal exit. Exception: Where floor areas adjacent to a horizontal exit are reachable from exit stairway hose connections by a 30-foot hose stream from a nozzle attached to 100 feet of hose, a hose connection shall not be required at the horizontal exit.

Exit, Horizontal. A path of egress travel from one building to an area in another building on approximately the same level, or a path of egress travel through or around a wall or partition to an area on approximately the same level in the same building, which affords safety from fire and smoke from the area of incidence and areas communicating therewith. (Think 2 hr fire walls, double doors in corridors with magnetic holders).
