If the product uses various components that are interconnected together, this document will be
applicable for interconnection between the various external components and cabling in addition
to stand-alone Common Systems components that may have been standardized with other
products within the ATT Network Carrier companies. If the OEM has presented a solution that
uses “off the shelf” separate components that are externally cabled within the bay or relay rack,
validation and use of the AT&T standard product lines shall be given.
Example: All DSX-1, DSX-3 and FDF panels will be provided by ADC Telecommunications
Inc. for the AT&T Network.
Finally, determinations will need to be made with AT&T Network Carrier company’s technical
staff as to whether the items provided within the product meet either pre-assembled
requirements or will be field assembled. Pre-assembled products will be considered within any
Network Equipment/Element hardware box or panel that includes intelligent hardware or
software. The assembly of multiple pre-assembled Network Equipment/Element products
within the same footprint will be negotiated with the AT&T Network Carrier companies. The
assembly of multiple pre-assembled Network Equipment/Element products outside of the same
footprint will be handled as a field assembled installation. Any Network Equipment/Element that
uses a passive product panel or box that does not include intelligent hardware or software will
meet AT&T Network Carrier product approval standards and will be field assembled.
All assemblies, including internal wiring between components shall meet workmanship
standards that include a neat and well-secured assembly with no sharp edges or cable/wire
ends exposed.
