Common use of Design Four Clause in Contracts

Design Four. Both CLEC and Qwest each provide two (2) fibers between their locations. This design may be considered where existing fibers are available near each Party’s location. Both CLEC and Qwest will provide fiber cable to the last entrance manhole (unless both Parties designate otherwise) at the other’s respective location. Both CLEC and Qwest will provide a sufficient length of optical fire resistant cable for the other to run the fiber cable from the manhole and terminate on each Party’s respective fiber distribution frame in each Party’s respective location. Each Party shall deliver and maintain such strands wholly at its own expense up to the POI. Each Party shall take the fiber from the manhole and terminate it inside each Party’s respective office on the Fiber Distribution Frame (FDF) at each Party’s respective expense. Both Parties will work cooperatively to terminate each other’s fiber in order to provision this joint point-to-point SONET system. Both Parties will work cooperatively to determine the appropriate technical handoff for purposes of demarcation and fault isolation.
