Common use of Loop Qualification Clause in Contracts

Loop Qualification. 2.2.5.1 The pre-ordering function includes non-discriminatory access to the same detailed information about the loop that is available to BellSouth. Loop qualification information identifies the physical attributes of the loop plant (such as loop length, the presence of analog load coils and bridge taps, and the presence and type of Digital Loop Carrier) that enable carriers to determine whether the loop is capable of supporting xDSL and other advanced technologies. 2.2.5.2 As part of the loop qualification process, BellSouth will provide, to the extent such information exists, the following to Sprint: 2.2.5.2.1 the composition of the loop material, including, but not limited to fiber optics, copper; 2.2.5.2.2 the existence, location and type of any electronic or other equipment on the loop, including but not limited to, digital loop carrier or other remote concentration devices, feeder/distribution interfaces, bridge taps, load coils, pair-gain devices, disturbers in the same or adjacent binder groups; 2.2.5.2.3 the loop length, including the length and location of each type of transmission media; 2.2.5.2.4 the wire gauge(s) of the loop; and 2.2.5.2.5 the electrical parameters of the loop, which may determine the suitability of the loop for various technologies.
