Jim, The following is from GR-63: "NEBS-2000 Framework Criteria This section presents new generic requirements for the physical design of cabinets and frameworks to help simplify planning and installation, ensure adequate physical strength, and provide uniformity between suppliers of telecommunications and computer equipment. These requirements may be used in place of the frame dimensions and strength criteria of Section 2. ....... ......... In summary, this section presents the criteria for a new frame to ? Coincide with current national and international standards ? Be used with current and future network equipment ? Provide improved compatibility between equipment suppliers' products ? Provide capabilities for raised-floor and concrete-floor installations ? Provide cable access from overhead or below the floor ? Improve physical strength and earthquake resistance ? Improve the accessibility to equipment and hardware during maintenance." Randy Ivans Global Program Manager -Telecommunications Underwriters Laboratories Inc. 1285 Walt Whitman Rd.
