I was in a CO last year (on the east coast) that utilised floor-standing fans at the end of the equipment aisles. Quite apart from highlighting the inadequacy of the AC system, it kind of made a nonsense out of GR-63's acoustic noise requirement - these fans were dwarfing any noise from any of the installed fan-cooled equipment !

What I found was that you can't assume that they will all be as cool as you or the Bellcore spec requires. I heard and saw pictures of one CO that was located down in the South which was a converted school house and it had a window air conditioner to keep it cool.

Essentially the Telcordia standard GR-1502 entitled "CO building environmental requirements" & GR-63 state that basically the CO should maintain temperatures between 40F and 100F and the equipment should operate within this. It goes on to state that the nominal temp. for the the CO should be between 65F and 80F. Is it safe to say that most COs most of the time maintain a temp. within 65F and 80F? Thanks.
