+24 volts is not normally used for telecom equipment. -48 volts is the usual value. 48 was chosen as a compromise between safety and voltage/power efficiency. Minus was chosen over plus to manage corrosion effects of cabling in underground installations.

How is -48V possible in telecomm equipment?

Voltage is dependent on a reference. If I have a 12 volt battery, and ground the - side, it is 12 volts to ground. If I instead ground the + side, it is -12 volts to ground. -48 volt telecom equipment is simply referenced to ground "upside down" or backwards, giving it a negative sign.
