Hey Dave and Jack, You may also be interested in GR-418-CORE since it covers fiber enclosures, electronics, and NID's. GR-49-CORE really leans very heavily on analog POTS NID's (for instance ISDN NIDS are excluded from the scope and Telcordia environmental people consider ISDN to mean all DSL, see section 5 of GR-1089-CORE) but some criteria may be useful, GR-1089-CORE and GR-63-CORE will be necessary, TR-NWT-000057 may be of use for environmental considerations as discussed in section 2.9 of GR-63-CORE. GR-487-CORE is necessary for the enclosure.
In addition, Telcordia has a project open to create a new GR for OSP electronics, which I suspect will end up encompassing many of the items in one document. Also I think that Subject 1697 was not finalized and 1459 is what was/is used for DUZO. It is not used much based on UL web page. The category is called "Communications Service Equipment" Most RFP's call out Listings to UL 1950 or UL 60950 and DUZO is not either, so that may be the reason for little usage. Also with the rejection of high powered broadband coax in article 830 of the NEC, it seems the cable companies are less interested in pursuing Subject 1697. I would be interested in any new news on subject 1697 if anybody has any. The last that I heard, Randy Ivans had it on hold.

There's also some useful information in GR-2834-CORE "Generic Requirements for Basic Electrical, Mechanical, & Environmental Criteria for Outside Plant Equipment". For Safety, UL uses Subject 1697 and the category is DUZO. These requirements borrow from UL 60950, UL 1459, the NEC, GR-1089-CORE, GR-49-CORE, and a few other standards. You should also keep in mind that you'd have to meet FCC Class B as the device is mounted directly on a residence. The RBOC exemption goes away since the device is not under their complete control.

It would connect to the telco via fiber and have copper going back into the house. Thanks in advance for any help, Jack
