Fiber Availability Clause Samples
The Fiber Availability clause defines the conditions under which fiber optic network capacity is considered available for use by the customer. It typically outlines the technical and operational standards that must be met, such as the fiber being free from faults and accessible at designated connection points. This clause ensures both parties have a clear understanding of when the service provider's obligations to deliver fiber capacity are fulfilled, thereby reducing disputes and clarifying service expectations.
Fiber Availability. 54.2.1. Spare fibers in a sheath are not considered available if Sprint has plans to put the fiber in use within the current year or the following year.
54.2.2. Sprint will also maintain fibers to facilitate maintenance, rearrangements and changes. Sprint will generally reserve 8% of fibers in a sheath for maintenance, subject to a minimum of four (4) fibers and a maximum of twelve (12) fibers.
54.2.3. Dark fiber requests will be handled on a first come, first served basis, based on the date the Dark Fiber Application (DFA) is received.
