Unbundled Copper Loop – Non-Designed (UCL-ND Sample Clauses
The Unbundled Copper Loop – Non-Designed (UCL-ND) clause defines the provision of a basic copper telephone line by a telecommunications provider to another carrier without any additional features or pre-engineered specifications. This arrangement allows the purchasing carrier to use the copper loop for its own services, such as voice or data transmission, without the incumbent provider configuring or testing the line for specific technical requirements. The core function of this clause is to facilitate competition by granting access to essential network infrastructure, enabling alternative carriers to offer services using the incumbent's existing copper network.
Unbundled Copper Loop – Non-Designed (UCL-ND. 2.4.3.1 The UCL–ND is provisioned as a dedicated 2-wire metallic transmission facility from BellSouth’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 End User’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.
