HFC I-Net Maintenance Sample Clauses

HFC I-Net Maintenance. The HFC I-Net is a Hybrid Fiber-optic Coaxial system. Fiber strands carry optical signals to receivers (nodes), where they are converted to radio frequencies (RF). The return signals are then carried on coaxial cable to I-Net customer sites. The signals travel both upstream and downstream from a site, enabling video to originate from either direction. The fiber component of the HFC I-Net is unique from the fiber that makes up the Digital I-Net, in that the service ring fibers are dedicated by individual strand. The HFC fiber consists of strands mixed within the fibers used by Click!’s Communications Network for its own power and commercial applications. In contrast, the Digital I-Net fiber consists of separate sheaths of fiber. The exact strands of fiber assigned to the HFC I-Net are identified in documents approved by I-Net staff and retained in files held by Click! The City has paid for and has ownership rights for the HFC Hub electronics, ADC nodes, coaxial cable runs from the ADC nodes to termination points at I-Net customer sites and user rights to the HFC fibers. The termination point is usually identified as the ground block. The City contracts with Click! to supply power to the ADC nodes (and potentially amplifiers), and to maintain and repair the HFC I-Net. The fee structure described herein, assumes one shared power supply per node and two poles with exclusive I-Net attachments for every node. There is no additional charge for nodes serving more than one I-Net user site. Coaxial cable mileage and the HFC I-Net components used for billing purposes are identified by the Parties upon completion of site construction. HFC maintenance costs includes I-Net design and documentation, maintaining coaxial and fiber cables, HFC nodes, powering systems and related Hub video transport equipment. Click! provides resources necessary for the maintenance and availability of the City’s HFC I-Net.
