Common use of Loop Distribution Clause in Contracts

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.
