Design Aid Spreadsheets

The two Design Aid Spreadsheets provided here support COT installations both with and without fan assemblies.

A fan assembly can be installed beneath a COT shelf in order to provide additional cooling so that single-slot ADSL application cards can be used for all loop designs regardless of length.

If you are going to install a fan assembly with the COT shelf for higher ADSL application card density, use ONLY the file called "FlexAccess Design Aid with fan FA 3.06 f".

If a fan assembly is NOT installed with the COT shelf, single-slot or double-slot ADSL application  cards must be used as determined by the appropriate Design Aid Spreadsheet. Without a fan assembly for the COT shelf, use the file called "FlexAccess Design Aid wo fan FA 3.06 u" for any POTS and/or ADSL equipped shelves.

For COT shelves WITH Fan Assemblies - for any service (Frontier)

FlexAccess Design Aid with fan FA 3.06 f

For COT shelves WITHOUT Fan Assemblies - for any service (Universal)
