Dark Fiber Sub-Loop Sample Clauses

The Dark Fiber Sub-Loop clause defines the terms under which a party may access and use a specific segment of unlit optical fiber within a telecommunications network. Typically, this clause outlines the rights and responsibilities related to leasing or utilizing a portion of the fiber infrastructure that is not currently in active service, often specifying the physical endpoints, maintenance obligations, and any restrictions on use. Its core practical function is to facilitate network expansion or service provision by allowing third parties to utilize existing fiber assets without requiring the network owner to light or manage the fiber themselves, thereby promoting efficient infrastructure sharing and reducing deployment costs.
Dark Fiber Sub-Loop. Consists of fiber optic strand(s) in a Verizon fiber optic cable (a) between Verizon’s accessible terminal located within a Verizon Wire Center, and Verizon’s accessible terminal at a Verizon remote terminal equipment enclosure, (b) between Verizon’s accessible terminal at a Verizon remote terminal equipment enclosure and Verizon's accessible terminal located in Verizon’s main termination point located within a Customer premises, or (c) between Verizon’s accessible terminals at Verizon remote terminal equipment enclosures, and that in all cases has not been activated through connection to electronics that “light” it and render it capable of carrying Telecommunications Services.

Related to Dark Fiber Sub-Loop

  • Dark Fiber Loop 2.8.4.1 Dark Fiber Loop is an unused optical transmission facility, without attached signal regeneration, multiplexing, aggregation or other electronics, from the demarcation point at an End User’s premises to the End User’s serving wire center. Dark Fiber Loops may be strands of optical fiber existing in aerial or underground structure. BellSouth will not provide line terminating elements, regeneration or other electronics necessary for AFN to utilize Dark Fiber Loops.

  • 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 Transport Dark Fiber Transport is defined as Dedicated Transport that consists of unactivated optical interoffice transmission facilities without attached signal regeneration, multiplexing, aggregation or other electronics. Except as set forth in Section 6.9.1 below, BellSouth shall not be required to provide access to Dark Fiber Transport Entrance Facilities pursuant to this Agreement.

  • Unbundled Sub-Loop Feeder 2.8.4.1 Unbundled Sub-Loop Feeder (USLF) provides connectivity between BellSouth's central office and cross-box (or other access point) that serves an end user location. 2.8.4.2 USLF utilized for voice traffic can be configured as 2-wire voice (USLF-2W/V) or 4-wire voice (USLF-4W/V). 2.8.4.3 USLF utilized for digital traffic can be configured as 2-wire ISDN (USLF-2W/I); 2-wire Copper (USLF-2W/C); 4-wire Copper (USLF-4W/C); 4-wire DS0 level loop (USLF-4W/D0); or 4-wire DS1 and ISDN (USLF-4W/DI). 2.8.4.4 USLF will provide access to both the equipment and the features in the BellSouth central office and BellSouth cross box necessary to provide a 2W or 4W communications pathway from the BellSouth central office to the BellSouth cross- box. This element will allow for the connection of Global Connection’s loop distribution elements onto BellSouth's feeder system.

  • Unbundled Copper Sub-Loop (UCSL) is a copper facility of any length provided from the cross-box in the field up to and including the end-user’s point of demarcation. If available, this facility will not have any intervening equipment such as load coils between the end-user and the cross-box.
