ATIS-0600063 ii Foreword The Alliance for Telecommunication Industry Solutions (ATIS) serves the public through improved understanding between providers, customers, and manufacturers. The Sustainability in Telecom: Energy and Protection (STEP) Committee
4、formerly the Network Interface, Power, and Protection (NIPP) Committee engages industry expertise to develop standards and technical reports for telecommunications equipment and environments in the areas of energy efficiency, environmental impacts, power, and protection. The work products of STEP en
5、able vendors, operators, and their customers to deploy and operate reliable, environmentally sustainable, energy efficient communications technologies. STEP is committed to proactive engagement with national, regional, and international standards development organizations and forums that share its s
6、cope of work. The mandatory requirements are designated by the word shall and recommendations by the word should. Where both a mandatory requirement and a recommendation are specified for the same criterion, the recommendation represents a goal currently identifiable as having distinct compatibility
7、 or performance advantages. The word may denotes an optional capability that could augment the standard. The standard is fully functional without the incorporation of this optional capability. Suggestions for improvement of this document are welcome. They should be sent to the Alliance for Telecommu

15、e as a reference guide for physical and energy efficiency of both indoor and outdoor equipment. The intent of the guideline is to be a reference guide and not for specific testing guidance of the equipment. This guideline is designed to refer the interested parties to applicable test standard(s). 1.
16、2 Purpose The purpose of this guideline is to provide interested parties a roadmap through the suite of ATIS standards. It is meant as a roadmap and the expectation is that the referenced document in each table shall be used to perform the testing. The reference document will contain the actual test
17、 parameters, duration, methods, and tolerance to be applied during the testing phase. The information supplied in this guideline alone is not sufficient to perform the testing in accordance with the referenced documents. Interested parties will utilize the ATIS requirements, referenced throughout th
18、e guideline, for designing and providing communications providers and suppliers with industry-compatible equipment. Testing facilities, manufacturers, and end users of the equipment will utilize the guideline for equipment qualification advice and assurance that all qualification and testing require
19、ments were performed and met. 1.3 Application This guideline is broken down into test scenarios dealing with individually qualification of equipment. Each table contains a list of ATIS tests and standards to be followed for each individual test scenario. Environmental Class 1 Equipment (as defined i
20、n ATIS-0600010.01): Shelf-Level Equipment Used Indoors - This table is for guidance for equipment being installed inside a temperature-controlled environment. The equipment is intended to be installed inside Universal Cabinets and Framework (UCF) frames throughout the testing. The controlled tempera
21、ture environment can include, but is not limited to, Communications Carrier Space, Mobile Telecommunications Switching Offices (MTSOs), Huts, Controlled Environmental Vaults (CEVs), and customer premises locations. o Examples of equipment that might be located in these environments include: Circuit
22、cards/line cards installed inside a rack-mountable chassis. Any type of equipment that is designed to be mounted in a frame/rack/UCF and not attached to the floor. Wall Mount or Standalone Equipment Used Indoors - This table is for guidance for equipment being installed inside a temperature-controll
23、ed environment. The controlled temperature environment can include, but is not limited to, Communications Carrier Space, MTSOs, Huts, CEVs, and customer premises locations. o Examples of equipment that might be located in these environments include: Inside wall-mounted equipment. Inside table top eq
24、uipment. ATIS-0600063 2 Frame-Level Equipment Used Indoors - This table is for guidance for UCF or frame-level equipment being installed inside a temperature-controlled environment. The UCF or frame can consist of either a closed or opened framework containing equipment shelves. The controlled-tempe
25、rature environment can include, but is not limited to, Communications Carrier Space, MTSOs, Huts, CEVs, and customer premises locations. o Examples of equipment that might be located in these environments include: UCFs that are designed to contain equipment shelves and are attached to the floor. Equ
26、ipment cabinets that contain communication equipment that attach to the floor. Environmental Class 2 or 3 Equipment (as defined in ATIS-0600010.01): Equipment installed in an Outdoor Enclosure - This table is for guidance for equipment that is intended to be installed inside a partially-controlled o
27、r uncontrolled environmental space. The qualification testing can be performed on the equipment without the enclosure, as the test parameters have been increased in severity to compensate for the absence of the enclosure. These spaces include those found inside Outside Plant (OSP) cabinets, enclosur
28、es, pedestals, etc. o Examples of equipment that might be located in these environments include: Circuit cards/line cards installed inside a shelf within an outdoor enclosure. Any type of equipment that is designed to be mounted in a frame/rack/UCF, installed within an outdoor enclosure. Environment
29、al Class 4 Equipment (as defined in ATIS-0600010.01): Standalone Outside Plant - This table is for guidance for equipment (electronics and cabinet/enclosure as a system) that is directly exposed to the OSP environment. Exposure to all outside elements could occur in this environment. o Examples of e
30、quipment that might be located in these environments include: Electronic equipment sealed inside its own weather-protected enclosure. Shelf-level equipment being supplied with its own enclosure. Similar electronics and integral enclosure that provides the protection from the elements. Specific examp
31、les of the items above include: Repeater housings. Apparatus cases. OSP Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexers (DSLAMs). Cabinets.

ATIS-0600063 4 3.1 Definitions 3.1 Communications Carrier Space: Equipment rooms in central offices, remote equipment spaces, equipment closets, or information techno
44、logy offices that house communication services. 3.2 Environment, Controlled: An environment where temperature and humidity around the equipment are controlled within set limits through application of heat, air cooling/conditioning, and filtration (HVAC) as a result of a monitoring system that contin
45、ually measures the ambient conditions. 3.3 Environment Partially Controlled: An environment where temperature around the equipment is partly controlled primarily through the use of fans and heat exchangers to dissipate and remove heat generated from operating electronics and transfer the heat away i
46、nto the surrounding area. Typically these environments do not use active heating or humidity control equipment to modify the environment around the equipment. 3.4 Environment, Uncontrolled: An environment where no active means is used to modify the environment around the equipment. The equipment and
47、 the closure in which it is housed may use design features such as cooling fins and heat sinks to dissipate heat. 3.5 Equipment: A shelf, chassis, or other apparatus assembled into or onto a frame (e.g., a UCF), mounts on wall or pole, deploys in OSP directly, or deploys in OSP cabinets/enclosures t
48、hat operates to provide a defined designated function, either standalone or with other equipment. 3.6 Frame Level: An equipment frame consists of structural framework that occupies floor space and all the equipment mounted in it (see ATIS-0600010). 3.7 Hut: An above-ground thermally controlled closu
49、re that houses telecommunications equipment to serve a large number of customers. 3.8 Shelf (Chassis): A mechanical structure designed specifically to support associated electrical and electronic components. 3.9 Shelf Level: A single chassis of equipment that mounts inside a framework (see ATIS-0600010). 3.10 Standalone Outside Plant: A configuration where the equipment and its integrated closure are considered as a single unit for the purposes of testing.
