The specified temperature range as defined by Bellcore GR-20 is: Operation: -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F) Installation: -30°C to +60°C (-22°F to +140°F) Storage/Shipping: -40°C to +75°C (-40°F to +167°F) All of Superior Essex’s OSP cables are qualified to this specification. In addition, some customers do request a more stringent specification. Superior Essex manufactures specific products that are designed to meet an improved specification of -50ºC for both operation and storage/shipping temperature, which exceeds the Bellcore GR-20 specification.
