Copper Loop definition

Copper Loop is a stand-alone local loop comprised entirely of copper wire or cable. Copper Loops include two-wire and four-wire analog voice-grade copper Loops, digital copper Loops (e.g., DS0s and integrated services digital network lines), as well as two-wire and four-wire copper Loops conditioned to transmit the digital signals needed to provide digital subscriber line services, regardless of whether the copper Loops are in service or held as spares. The copper Loop includes attached electronics using time division multiplexing technology, but does not include packet switching capabilities.

Copper Loop. A stand-alone Local Loop comprised entirely of copper wire or copper cable. Copper Loops include two-wire and four-wire analog voice-grade Copper Loops, digital Copper Loops (e.g., DS0s and Integrated Services Digital Network lines), as well as two-wire and four-wire Copper Loops conditioned to transmit the digital signals needed to provide digital subscriber line services, regardless of whether the Copper Loops are in service or held as spares. A Copper Loop includes attached electronics using Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) technology, but does not include packet, cell or frame switching capabilities.

Copper Loop shall have the meaning given in 47 C.F.R. § 51.319(a)(1).

Examples of Copper Loop in a sentence

• Brightspeed is not required to incur any expenses to ensure that the existing Copper Loop remains capable of transmitting signals prior to receiving a request from CLEC for such loop.

• Once a request for the loop is received, Brightspeed will restore the Copper Loop to serviceable condition based upon CLEC’s request and at CLEC’s expense.

• If CLEC’s ADSL Transmission Unit (including those integrated into DSLAMs) is attached to Brightspeed’s Network and if an ADSL Copper Loop should start at an outside location, and is looped through a Host or Remote, and then to the subscriber, the copper plant from the outside location to the Brightspeed Host or Remote Central Office must be a facility dedicated to ADSL transmission only and not part of Brightspeed’s regular feeder or distribution plant.

• Brightspeed will maintain the existing Copper Loop connected to the particular End User’s Premises after deploying the FTTH or FTTC loop and provide CLEC non-discriminatory access to that Copper Loop on an unbundled basis, unless Brightspeed retires the Copper Loop pursuant to 47 C.F.R. §51.319(a)(3)(iv).

• If Brightspeed retires a Copper Loop pursuant to 47 C.F.R. §51.319(a)(3)(iv), Brightspeed will provide CLEC non-discriminatory access to one 64 kilobits per second transmission path capable of voice grade service over the FTTH or FTTC loop on an unbundled basis.

• A copper subloop is a portion of a Copper Loop, or Hybrid Loop, and is comprised entirely of copper wire or copper cable.
