Although the most rugged types of telecom equipment can operate without heating and cooling, most outdoor telecom cabinets are designed to comply with the GR-3108-CORE Class 1 specification, which requires that the internal temperature of the cabinet is maintained between 41°F (5°C) and 104°F (40°C).
The heat load of modern telecom cabinets is often high, and it’s usually necessary to install enclosure cooling equipment to maintain the internal temperature below the higher limit specified by GR-3108-CORE. Enclosure heating may also be required in colder regions.
ASHRAE, the Association of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers, investigated this and established that for telecommunication equipment, the service life at 113°F (45°C) is reduced by a factor of 1.8 compared with the service life at 68°F (20°C).
Telcordia specifications GR-487 and GR-3108: The telecom industry has a long history of outdoor plant cabinets and has developed detailed specifications such as the Telcordia Requirements for Electronic Equipment Cabinets (GR-487) and the GR-3108, which specifies equipment testing criteria.
