Section 9, ATT-TP-76400 DETAIL ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS
AT&T January, 2012
• Equipment cross-connect point.
• Electrical Protection.
• Test and Cable Access
3. DISTRIBUTING FRAME TYPES
3.1. Protector Frames
3.1.1 Protector frames (PF) may be either conventional or modular.
3.1.2 Protector frames are provided for the protection and termination of outside plant copper cable
pairs. These frames have no provisions for cross-connections, and are used in conjunction
with separate distributing frames. Outside plant cable pairs are terminated on protector
blocks on the PF. A cable is then placed from the protector block on the PF to a
corresponding terminal block on the MDF. The outside plant cable pairs on the MDF can
then be cross-connected to Carrier Communications Space equipment terminations
elsewhere on the MDF. The use of separate Protector Frames (PF’s) generally facilitate
higher density MDF configurations since more connector blocks can be mounted on the MDF
than protector blocks.
3.1.3 A protector frame only provides termination and protection capabilities for outside plant cable
pairs.
3.2. Modular Distributing Frames
3.2.1 Modular distributing frames currently in service include the below listed products. The
existing product may be grown to the completion of the next zone or end of lineup.
• Lucent Technologies ESS Modular Distributing Frame (Non-Standard -
Manufacturer Discontinued)
• COSMIC I - Common Systems Main Inter-Connecting Frame with separate
Protector Frame (Non-Standard - Restricted Use, growth only)
• COSMIC II -Common Systems Main Inter-Connecting Frame with integrated
Protector Frame (Non-Standard – Restricted Use, growth only)
• CODS – Carrier Communications Space Distribution System, Emerson Network
Power (Non-Standard)
• PORTA Systems - CAM DF (Non-Standard)
• Reltec Systems – COS II (Non-Standard)
• Robotic Frame – ADF (Non-Standard, growth only)
3.2.2 Growth to existing Modular Distributing Frames shall be the CommScope COSMIC I or II for
all modular installations and applications, subject to the limitations noted in ATT-002-216-
025, Switching IDG, Tab 11, and ATT-PAN-20011072, Restricted Use PAN for Avaya
COSMIC Frames (Now CommScope).
