Fiber Construction. (A) The Franchisee will construct the I-Net at no cost to the County or Authorized Users, linking public, educational and governmental facilities in the County, in accordance with the conditions set forth in this Franchise Agreement.
(B) The I-Net shall be a bidirectional, fully fiber-optic network designed and constructed with single-mode fiber, in a design so that each of the designated service locations can originate and receive fully interactive video, data and voice signals.
(C) The Franchisee shall install dedicated I-Net fiber from the point of interconnection specified pursuant to Section 6(g) of the Franchise Agreement to specified sites as designated in this Appendix I.
(D) The Franchisee shall co-locate I-Net fiber with subscriber network fiber whenever reasonably feasible based on cable industry practices. The I-Net fibers shall be separate from any fibers utilized for the subscriber network, and the County shall have only such rights in the I-Net fibers as are set forth in this Appendix I.
(E) At the point of interconnection specified pursuant to Section 6(g) of the Franchise Agreement, I-Net fibers shall be terminated and labeled using industry standard connectors.
(F) At each aggregation site for I-Net traffic (“Aggregation Site”), I- Net fibers shall be terminated and labeled using industry standard connectors in an area within the Aggregation Site (an "Aggregation Site I-Net Service Area").
(G) If the Franchisee and the County conclude that sites other than the Aggregation I-Net Service Areas would be preferable for termination of I-Net fibers, they may establish such sites by mutual agreement.
(H) Single-mode fibers each will be built to each I-Net Site. At each I- Net Site, fibers shall be terminated using industry standard connectors at a demarcation point to be agreed upon by the Franchisee and the Authorized User (the "Demarcation Point"). Any I-Net fiber starting at the Demarcation Point and extending outward from the building shall be deemed to be on the Franchisee's side of the Demarcation Point, and any I-Net fiber starting at the Demarcation Point and extending further inside the building shall be deemed to be on the Authorized User’s side of the Demarcation Point.
(I) The fiber-optic plant shall be installed to industry standards. Maximum signal loss for any link shall not exceed the manufacturer’s passive cable attenuation specifications, adjusted for cable lengths, splice loss and connector loss. The Franchisee shall provide ...

Fiber Construction. Buyer acknowledges that Seller currently uses two strands of the existing fiber of its parent, Taconic Telephone Corp. to conduct its CATV Operations.
Fiber Construction. (A) The Grantee will construct the I-Net at the Grantee’s expense, linking the public, educational and governmental facilities in the City itemized on Exhibit B, in accordance with the conditions set forth in this Franchise Agreement.
(B) The I-Net shall be a bidirectional, fully fiber-optic network designed and constructed with single-mode fiber, in a design so that each of the designated service locations can originate and receive fully interactive video, data and voice signals.
(C) The Grantee shall install I-Net fiber to specified sites as designated and described in Exhibit B. The main ring shall have twelve fibers, with six fibers to sites not on the ring (where Exhibit B indicates which sites are on the ring).
(D) The Grantee shall collocate I-Net fiber with subscriber network fiber whenever reasonably feasible based on cable industry practices. The I-Net fibers shall be separate from any fibers utilized for the subscriber network, and the City shall have only such rights in the I-Net fibers as are set forth in Section 6(h)(6).
(E) I-Net fibers shall be terminated and labeled using industry standard connectors in an area specified in the I-Net design described in § 6(h)(3) within the headend facility (the "I-Net Service Area"). The I-Net Service Area shall have space for four standard nineteen-inch racks for the I-Net Users’ use in a secure building, sufficient heating and air conditioning. -48 V DC and 120 V AC power shall be available for the I-Net Service Area, including backup power as specified for the system generally.
(F) The Grantee shall have personnel available to provide City personnel with access to its I-Net Service Area from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. each business day, and at all other times shall have personnel available by mobile telephone to provide City with access within ninety (90) minutes of a call from a Primary Contact.
(G) Single-mode fibers will be built to each I-Net site as designated in Exhibit B. At each I-Net site, at the City’s option, either (i) fibers shall be terminated using industry standard connectors at a demarcation point to be agreed upon by the Grantee and the User up to fifteen feet inside the building entry wall and consistent with the Grantee's direction of approach to the building, consistent with the FCC's rules as amended from time to time (the “Demarcation Point”), or (ii) the Grantee shall provide a coil of fiber-optic cable, without termination or connector, of a length reasonably requested by the User to per...
Fiber Construction. Optical fibers must be placed inside a loose buffer tube. Each buffer tube must contain 6 fibers. The fibers must not adhere to the inside of the buffer tube. Each fiber and buffer tube must be distinguishable by means of color coding according to the TIA/EIA-298 Specifications, "Optical Fiber Cable Color Coding." The colors must be stable across the specified storage and operating temperature range and not subject to fading or smearing onto each other or into the gel filling material. Colors must not cause fibers to stick together. Fillers may be included in the cable core to lend symmetry to the cable cross-section where needed. The central anti-buckling member must consist of a glass reinforced plastic rod. Each buffer tube must be filled with a non-hygroscopic, non-nutritive to fungus, electrically non-conductive, homogenous gel. The gel must be free from dirt and foreign matter. The gel must be readily removable with conventional nontoxic solvents. Buffer tubes must be stranded around a central member using the reverse oscillation, or "S-Z", stranding process. The cable core must contain a water- blocking material. The water blocking material must be non- nutritive to fungus, electrically non- conductive and homogenous. It must also be free from dirt and foreign matter and must be readily removable with conventional (nontoxic) solvents. Binders must be applied with sufficient tension to secure the buffer tubes to the central member without crushing the buffer tubes. The binders must be non-hygroscopic, non-wicking and dielectric with low shrinkage. The cable must contain at least one ripcord under the sheath for easy sheath removal. Tensile strength must be provided by a combination of high tensile strength dielectric yarns. The high tensile strength dielectric yarns must be helically stranded evenly around the cable core. All-dielectric cables must be sheathed with medium density polyethylene (MDPE). The minimum nominal jacket thickness must be
