Dark Fiber. 8.1 Access to unbundled Dark Fiber will be provided by Verizon, where existing facilities are available at the requested availability date, in the loop, subloop and interoffice facilities (IOF) portions of the Company's network. Access to Dark Fiber will be provided in accordance with, but only to the extent required by, Applicable Law. Except as otherwise required by Applicable Law, the following terms and conditions apply to Verizon's Dark Fiber offering.
8.2 A “Dark Fiber Loop” consists of continuous fiber optic strand(s) in a Verizon fiber optic cable between the fiber distribution frame, or its functional equivalent, located within a Verizon Wire Center, and Verizon’s main termination point, such as the fiber patch panel located within a Customer premise, and that has not been activated through connection to the electronics that “light” it, and thereby render it capable of carrying Telecommunications Services. In addition to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the following terms and conditions also shall apply to Dark Fiber Loops:
8.2.1 Verizon shall be required to provide a Dark Fiber Loop only where (1) one end of the Dark Fiber Loop terminates at Z-Tel's collocation arrangement and (2) the other end terminates at the Customer premise. A CLEC demarcation point shall be established either in the main telco room of a building where a Customer is located or, if the building does not have a main telco room, then at a location to be determined by Verizon. Verizon shall connect a Dark Fiber Loop to the demarcation point by installing a fiber jumper.
8.2.2 Z-Tel may access a Dark Fiber Loop only at a pre-existing hard termination point of such Dark Fiber Loop, and Z-Tel may not access a Dark Fiber Loop at any other point, including, but not limited to, a splice point. Verizon will not introduce additional splice points or open existing splice points to accommodate a CLEC’s request. Unused fibers located in a cable vault or a controlled environment vault, manhole or other location outside the Verizon Wire Center, and not terminated to a fiber patch, are not available to Z-Tel.
8.2.3 A strand shall not be deemed to be continuous if splicing is required to provide fiber continuity between two locations. Dark Fiber will only be offered on a route-direct basis where facilities exist (i.e., no intermediate offices).
8.2.4 Verizon shall perform all work necessary to install a cross connection or a fiber jumper, including, but not limited to, the wo...
Dark Fiber. BellSouth agrees to offer access to Dark Fiber where the state commissions have required such access pursuant to the terms and conditions following and at the rates set forth in Attachment 11. The parties agree that Dark Fiber will be used in the provisioning of local service.
13.1.1 Dark Fiber is unused strands of optical fiber. It may be strands of optical fiber existing in aerial or underground structure. No line terminating elements terminated to such strands to operationalize its transmission capabilities will be available. No regeneration or optical amplification will be included with this element.
Dark Fiber. If CLEC does not convert any or all non-compliant dark fiber to alternative service arrangements, Qwest will, or maintains the right to, begin the disconnection process of CLEC dark fiber.
Dark Fiber. Fiber within an existing fiber optic cable that has not been activated through optronics to render it capable of carrying a Telecommunications Service.
Dark Fiber. 4.3.1 XxxxXxxxx agrees to offer access to Dark Fiber pursuant to the terms and conditions following and at the rates set forth in this Attachment. In Kentucky, if BellSouth has plans to use the fiber in a three year planning period, there is no requirement to provide it. The Parties agree that Dark Fiber will be used in the provisioning of local service.
4.3.2 Dark Fiber is unused strands of optical fiber. It may be strands of optical fiber existing in aerial or underground structure. No line terminating elements terminated to such strands to operationalize its transmission capabilities will be available. No regeneration or optical amplification will be included with this element.
Dark Fiber. 8.1 Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1 and upon request, Verizon shall provide Excel with access to Dark Fiber Loops, Dark Fiber Sub-Loops and Dark Fiber IOF (as such terms are hereinafter defined) in accordance with, and subject to, the rates, terms and conditions set forth in Verizon’s DTE No. 17 Tariff, as amended from time to time, that relate to or concern Dark Fiber, and Verizon shall do so regardless of whether or not such rates, terms and conditions are effective. Verizon will provide Excel access to Dark Fiber in accordance with, but only to the extent required by, Applicable Law. A “Dark Fiber Loop” consists of continuous fiber optic strand(s) in a Verizon fiber optic cable between the fiber distribution frame, or its functional equivalent, located within a Verizon Wire Center, and Verizon’s main termination point, such as the fiber patch panel located within a Customer premise, and that has not been activated through connection to the electronics that “light” it, and thereby render it capable of carrying Telecommunications Services.
Dark Fiber. Definition. Dark fiber, to be provided on an unbundled basis pursuant to this Agreement is defined as set forth in 47 C.F.R. § 51.319. Without limiting the foregoing it includes deployed, unlit fiber optic cable between two points within SBC- AMERITECH’s network. Dark fiber is fiber that has not been activated through connection to the electronics that “light it”, and thereby render it capable of carrying communications services.
Dark Fiber. 54.1. General Rules and Definition
54.1.1. Dark fiber is an optical transmission facility without attached multiplexing, aggregation or other electronics. It is fiber optic cable that connects two points within Sprint’s network that has not been activated through connection to the electronics that “light” it and render it capable of carrying telecommunications services.
54.1.2. Sprint will unbundle dark fiber for the dedicated transport, loop and sub- loop network elements. Dark fiber is not a separate network element, but a subset of dedicated transport, loop and subloop network elements. Any rules and guidelines for these network elements, including accessibility, will apply to dark fiber.
Dark Fiber. XxxxXxxxx agrees to offer access to Dark Fiber where the state commissions have required such access pursuant to the terms and conditions following and at the rates set forth in Attachment 11. The parties agree that Dark Fiber will be used in the provisioning of local service.
14.1.1 Dark Fiber is unused strands of optical fiber. It may be strands of optical fiber existing in aerial or underground structure. No line terminating elements terminated to such strands to operationalize its transmission capabilities will be available. No regeneration or optical amplification will be included with this element.
Dark Fiber. 2.6.1 XxxxXxxxx agrees to offer access to Dark Fiber pursuant to the terms and conditions following and at the rates set forth in this Attachment. In Georgia, BellSouth is not required to construct the fiber if it is not available. In Kentucky, if BellSouth has plans to use the fiber in a three year planning period, there is no requirement to provide it. In all other states, BellSouth is not required to place the fibers if there are no fibers available. The Parties agree that Dark Fiber will be used in the provisioning of local service.
2.6.2 Dark Fiber is unused strands of optical fiber. It may be strands of optical fiber existing in aerial or underground structure. No line terminating elements terminated to such strands to operationalize its transmission capabilities will be available. No regeneration or optical amplification will be included with this element.
