Common use of Interconnection Arrangements Clause in Contracts

Interconnection Arrangements. 54.3.1. Rules for gaining access to unbundled network elements apply to dark fiber. CLEC must establish a point of interconnection (POI) to gain access. Virtual and physical collocation arrangements would normally be used by CLEC to locate the optical electronic equipment necessary to “light” leased dark fiber. 54.3.2. The CLEC that requests dark fiber must be able to connect to the Sprint fiber by means of fiber patch panel. The CLEC fiber patch panel must meet the requirements of using the same optical cross connects that Sprint uses for its fiber patch panel. 54.3.3. Dark fiber will be provided in the following four manners: 54.3.3.1. Dark fiber transport will be between two Sprint fiber patch panels (FPP) in two separate Sprint offices. CLEC will establish a FPP POI in each office. Sprint and CLEC FPP will be connected via fiber patch cords. 54.3.3.2. Dark fiber feeder will be between two Sprint FPPs, one located in a Sprint central office and one at a remote location, such as a digital loop carrier. CLEC will establish a FPP POI in the Sprint central office which will be connected to the Sprint FPP via a fiber patch cord. CLEC will establish a POI at the remote site and order a collocation or interconnection arrangement at Sprint’s FPP. A fiber “pigtail” will connect the virtual appearance on Sprint’s FPP and the CLEC POI. 54.3.3.3. Dark fiber distribution is between a Sprint FPP located outside a Sprint central office (e.g., remote site) and a FPP located at a customer premises. CLEC must establish a POI in the Sprint remote site as described above and is responsible for providing facilities on the customer’s premises. 54.3.3.4. Dark fiber loop is between a Sprint FPP located in a Sprint central office and a FPP located at a customer’s premises. CLEC must establish a POI in the Sprint central office and is responsible for providing facilities on the customer’s premises.
