A system and method are disclosed for configuring power loops between a central office (CO) 106 and a service access interface (SAI) 110 . A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a network management system (NMS) 100 having a memory 104 , and a controller 102 . The controller is programmed to retrieve ( 206 ) topology information relating to a selected power loop originating at a CO and terminating at an SAI, identify ( 207 ) environment conditions to be applied to the selected power loop, and determine ( 208, 218 ) from the topology information and the environment conditions whether the power loop can carry sufficient energy without exceeding a temperature rating.
