A DDM-2000 FiberReach Multiplexer shelf meets Telcordia Technologies Network 
Equipment Building System (NEBS) requirements
*
 for use in central office 
environments without fans. 
A heat baffle assembly is required for all applications in a bay frame and for 
cabinet configurations where thermal environments are specified.  The baffle 
should be installed above and below any DDM-2000 FiberReach shelves. Refer to 
363-206-300, 
DDM-2000 FiberReach Multiplexer Applications, Planning, and 
Ordering Guide
, for detailed information on heat baffles in typical bay 
arrangements. 
The DDM-2000 FiberReach Multiplexer operates in uncontrolled environments at 
temperatures of 
−
40
°
C to +75
°
C and humidity of 5 to 95 percent (noncondensing). 
Forced convection cooling (fans) is required when the air inlet temperature is 
above 50
°
C. The DDM-2000 FiberReach Multiplexer provides optional control and 
alarming of the 2-type fan units used in Lucent cabinets and alarming of the DDM-
2000 fan shelf. 
EMC Requirements 
10
The DDM-2000 FiberReach Multiplexer has been tested and found to comply with 
the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These 
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference 
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment 
generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and 
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference 
to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residence is likely to 
cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the 
interference at the user's own expense. 
Earthquake Requirements 
10
The DDM-2000 FiberReach Multiplexer meets the earthquake requirements 
defined in Telcordia Technologies TR-NWT-000063, Issue 5 and Pacific Bell 
Standard PBS-000-102PT. Installations in Zone 4 regions require the 
ED-8C800-50 or ED-8C801-50 bay frame. Drawing ED-8C800-70 provides 
ordering and engineering application information for these frames. 
Fire Resistance 
10
The DDM-2000 FiberReach Multiplexer meets the ignitability requirements 
specified in T1Y1.4/88-014. In addition, the DDM-2000 FiberReach Multiplexer 
meets the fire resistance requirements of
