Common use of Unbundled Copper Loop Clause in Contracts

Unbundled Copper Loop. Non-Designed (UCL-ND) 2.11.3.1 The UCL–ND is provisioned as a dedicated 2-wire metallic transmission facility from AT&T‟s Main Distribution Frame (MDF) to a customer‟s premises (including the NID). The UCL-ND will be a “dry copper” facility in that it will not have any intervening equipment such as load coils, repeaters, or digital access main lines (DAMLs), and may have up to 6,000 feet of bridged tap between the customer‟s premises and the serving wire center. The UCL-ND typically will be 1300 Ohms resistance and in most cases will not exceed 18,000 feet in length, although the UCL-ND will not have a specific length limitation. For loops less than 18,000 feet and with less than 1300 Ohms resistance, the loop will provide a voice grade transmission channel suitable for loop start signaling and the transport of analog voice grade signals. The UCL-ND will not be designed and will not be provisioned with either a DLR or a test point. 2.11.3.2 The UCL-ND facilities may be mechanically assigned using AT&T‟s assignment systems. Therefore, the Loop Makeup (LMU) process is not required to order and provision the UCL-ND. However, NuVox can request LMU for which additional charges would apply. 2.11.3.3 For an additional charge, AT&T also will make available Loop Testing so that NuVox may request further testing on the UCL-ND. Rates for Loop Testing are as set forth in the Pricing Schedule. 2.11.3.4 UCL-ND Loops are not intended to support any particular service and may be utilized by NuVox to provide a wide-range of telecommunications services as long as those services do not adversely affect AT&T‟s network. The UCL-ND will include a NID at the customer‟s location for the purpose of connecting the loop to the customer‟s inside wire. 2.11.3.5 OC will be provided as a chargeable option and may be utilized when the UCL- ND provisioning is associated with the reuse of AT&T facilities. OC-TS does not apply to this product. 2.11.3.6 NuVox may use AT&T‟s Unbundled Loop Modification (ULM) offering to remove excessive bridged taps and/or load coils from any copper loop within the AT&T network. Therefore, some loops that would not qualify as UCL-ND could be transformed into loops that do qualify, using the ULM process.
