All copper conductor pairs, working and non-working, shall be equipped due hereunder in connection with a solid-state protector unit (over-voltage protection only), which has been listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratorysuch calendar quarter.

Equipment Type. 5.1.1 BellSouth shall permit permits the collocation and use of any type of equipment necessary for interconnection to BellSouth’s network and/or or for access to BellSouth’s unbundled network elements UNEs in the provision of Telecommunications Servicestelecommunications services, as the term “"necessary” " is defined by ▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇.▇.▇. § ▇▇.▇▇▇ FCC 47 C.F.R. Section 51.323 (▇b). The primary purpose and function of any equipment collocated in a BellSouth Premises Remote Collocation Space must be for interconnection to BellSouth’s 's network or for access to BellSouth’s unbundled network elements 's UNEs in the provision of Telecommunications Services. Equipment is necessary for interconnection if an inability to deploy that equipment would, as a practical, economical, or operational matter, preclude the requesting carrier from obtaining interconnection with BellSouth at a level equal in quality to that which BellSouth obtains within its own network or what BellSouth provides to any affiliate, subsidiary, or other partytelecommunications services. 5.1.2 5.1.1 Examples of equipment that would not be considered necessary include, include but are not limited to: traditional circuit switching equipment, equipment used exclusively for call-related databases, computer servers used exclusively for providing information services, OSS operations support system (OSS) equipment used to support collocated telecommunications carrier network operations, equipment that generates customer orders, manages trouble tickets or inventory, or stores customer records in centralized databases, etc. BellSouth will determine upon receipt of an application if the requested equipment is necessary based on the criteria established by the FCC. Multifunctional equipment placed on a BellSouth BellSouth's Premises must not place any greater relative burden on BellSouth’s 's property than comparable single-function equipment. BellSouth reserves the right to allow the permit collocation of any equipment on a nondiscriminatory basis. 5.1.3 5.1.2 Such equipment must, at a minimum, meet the following Telcordia Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) General Equipment Requirements: for Central Offices Criteria Level 1 requirements as outlined in Telcordia Special Report SR-3580, Issue 1 and for Remote Sites Criteria Level 3 requirements as outlined in the Telcordia Special report Report SR-3580, Issue 1. Except where otherwise required by a Commission, BellSouth shall comply with the applicable FCC rules relating to denial of collocation equipment based on Neutral Tandem’s GulfPines’ failure to comply with this Section. 5.1.3.1 To the extent Neutral Tandem wishes to place equipment in its collocation that does not meet the standards set forth in 5.1.3, Neutral Tandem may request in writing, pursuant to the Notices section of the General Terms & Conditions, a waiver to such standards. BellSouth may provide a waiver in its sole discretion. 5.1.4 At a Remote Site, all Neutral Tandem 5.1.2.1 All GulfPines equipment installation shall comply with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇, “Grounding - Engineering Procedures”. Metallic cable sheaths and metallic strength members of optical fiber cables as well as the metallic cable sheaths of all copper conductor cables shall be bonded to the designated grounding bus for the Remote Site Location. All copper conductor pairs, working and non-working, shall be equipped with a solid-state protector unit (over-voltage protection only), which has been listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory. 5.1.3 GulfPines shall identify to BellSouth whenever GulfPines submits a Method of Procedure (MOP) adding equipment to GulfPines’ Remote Collocation Space all UCC-1 lien holders or other entities that have a financial interest, secured or otherwise, in the equipment in GulfPines’ Remote Collocation Space. GulfPines shall submit a copy of the list of any lien holders or other entities that have a financial interest to GulfPines’ ATCC Representative.
