Common use of Eligible Equipment for Collocation Clause in Contracts

Eligible Equipment for Collocation. 6.1 SBC-13STATE will allow Equipment to be collocated only if (1) it is "necessary" for interconnection to the SBC- 13STATE's network for the transmission and routing of telephone exchange service or exchange access, or for access to SBC-13STATE's unbundled network elements ("UNEs") for the provision of a Telecommunications Service, under all the standards and requirements addressed in this Section 6, or (2) SBC-13STATE voluntarily decides to allow the Equipment to be collocated on a non-discriminatory basis. 6.2 For purposes of this Section 6, Equipment is considered "necessary" as follows: (1) Equipment is considered necessary for Interconnection if an inability to deploy that Equipment would, as a practical, economic, or operational matter, preclude the Collocator from obtaining interconnection with SBC- 13STATE at a level equal in quality to that which SBC 13STATE obtains within its own network or SBC- 13STATE provides to any Affiliate, subsidiary, or other party. (2) Equipment is considered necessary for access to a UNE if an inability to deploy that Equipment would, as a practical, economic, or operational matter, preclude Collocator from obtaining nondiscriminatory access to that UNE, including any of its features, functions, or capabilities. 6.3 Subject to the requirements of Section 6, "Stand-alone Function" Equipment that may be collocated include: (1) Transmission equipment that is optical terminating equipment or a multiplexer (2) Equipment being collocated to terminate basic transmission facilities pursuant to sections 64.1401 and 64.1402 of 47 C.F.R. (Expanded Interconnection) as of August 1, 1996. (3) Equipment specified in the definition of "Advanced Services Equipment" in section 1.3.d of the SBC/Ameritech Merger Conditions. "Advanced Services Equipment" is defined as, and limited to, the following equipment: DSLAMs or functionally equivalent equipment; spectrum splitters that are used solely in the provision of Advanced Services; packet switches and multiplexers such as ATMs and Frame Relay engines used to provide Advanced Services; modems used in the provision of packetized data; and DACS frames used only in the provision of Advanced Services. (4) Optical Concentrator Devices ("OCDs") or functionally equivalent Equipment used to provide Advanced Services. (5) Remote switch modules ("RSMs") used in conjunction, via an umbilical, with host switches located in different CLEC locations.
