Loop Distribution Sample Clauses
Loop Distribution. 4.14.4.1 Loop Distribution is a sub-loop Network Element that is composed of two distinct component parts: Distribution Media and a Network Interface Device (NID) or Minimum Point of Entry (MPOE). Each component part is defined in detail below.
4.14.4.1.1 Distribution Media provides connectivity between the NID and the terminal block on the subscriber-side of an FDI. The FDI is a device that terminates both the Distribution Media and the Loop Feeder. The distribution and feeder facilities are cross-connected at the FDI to create a bundled Loop (i.e., a continuous transmission path between the NID and a telephone company central office MDF). The FDI typically makes use of a manual cross-connection, and may be housed inside an outside plant cabinet, hut or remote terminal (“green box”), in a vault (commonly known as a controlled environment Vault – CEV), or utility room in a multi-dwelling unit.
4.14.4.1.2 The Distribution Media will be copper twisted pair.
Loop Distribution. The portion of a Loop in Verizon’s network that is between the point of demarcation at an end user customer premises and Verizon’s feeder/distribution interface. It is technically feasible to access any portion of a Loop at any terminal in Verizon’s outside plant, or inside wire owned or controlled by Verizon, as long as a technician need not remove a splice case to access the wire or copper of the Subloop; provided, however, near Remote Terminal sites, Verizon shall, upon site-specific request by AT&T, provide access to a Subloop at a splice.
Loop Distribution. Loop Distribution is composed of two distinct component parts: a Network Interface Device and Distribution Media. Each component part is defined in detail below.
Loop Distribution. 3.3.8.1 The Loop Distribution Subloop component provides connectivity from the FDI/SAI via distribution media (facility) to the point of demarcation on the customer premises and shall include all facility terminating and cross-connecting devices that may be present at the point of demarcation provided Verizon owns or controls the device(s) and regardless of the specific nomenclature employed when referring to the device.
3.3.8.2 The Loop Distribution Subloop may be provided using copper twisted pair, coax cable, or fiber optic cable. Where more than one media is available between two points, the media used shall be the choice of AT&T. If a combination that includes two or more of these media exists, Verizon shall not preclude AT&T from using those facilities. Verizon will provide access to Loop Distribution Subloops even if Verizon is not currently employing the conductor/facility for its own use such as when spare copper or dark fiber is present. If requested by AT&T, Verizon will identify whether load coil, bridge taps or any other elements are attached to the copper distribution Subloop that may limit the transmission capabilities of the Subloop. If requested by AT&T, Verizon will remove such items and AT&T will reimburse Verizon for such work based on time and material rates set forth in this Amended Agreement.
3.3.8.3 In the case of Verizon facilities serving a single unit installation (e.g. a single residence or single business location), distribution facility consists of all such facilities providing connectivity between the end user’s point of demarcation, including the point of demarcation, and the end user side of the FDI/SAI and can be accessed at any technically feasible point.
3.3.8.4 In the case of Verizon facilities serving Multi Tenant Environments (MTEs), distribution media shall be furnished to AT&T depending on the location at which AT&T intends to interconnect its facilities, as requested by AT&T and described in 3.3.9 below.
3.3.8.5 Verizon will provide Loop Distribution at the appropriate rate levels set forth in this Amended Agreement.
3.3.8.6 The Loop Distribution Subloop element shall be capable of transmitting any signal(s) that it is technically feasible to carry on the particular distribution facility used, and shall support transmission signals with at least the same quality as when the same or similar distribution configuration is employed by Verizon.
