Interconnection to Others Sample Clauses
The "Interconnection to Others" clause establishes the terms under which a party may connect its systems, equipment, or services to those of other parties or networks. Typically, this clause outlines the technical standards, approval processes, and responsibilities for maintaining the integrity and security of interconnected systems. For example, it may require that any interconnection meets certain industry protocols or that prior written consent is obtained before linking to third-party networks. The core function of this clause is to ensure compatibility and protect the interests of all parties by clearly defining how and under what conditions interconnections can occur, thereby minimizing operational risks and potential disputes.
Interconnection to Others. 11.7.1 Within a contiguous area within the eligible structure, the AT&T-13STATE will permit Collocators to construct their own direct connection (cross-connect) facilities to other physical Collocators using copper or optical facilities between collocated equipment located within the same Eligible Structure, subject only to the same reasonable safety requirements that AT&T-13STATE imposes on its own equipment. AT&T-13STATE shall not require physical-to-physical Collocators to purchase any equipment or cross-connect capabilities solely from AT&T-13STATE. If requested by the Collocator, AT&T-13STATE will provide only the installation of physical structure(s) and the associated labor necessary for the Collocator(s) to pull its facilities from its equipment space to the equipment space of another Collocator. However if the Collocators cannot physically pull the cable themselves (i.e. located on different floors), AT&T-13STATE will perform the necessary construction on a standard Custom Work Order basis and perform the cable pull. AT&T-13STATE
(1) will not make any physical connection within the Collocator’s dedicated space; (2) will not have any liability for the cable or the connections, or the traffic carried thereon; and (3) will not maintain any records concerning these connections.
11.7.2 If a physical Collocator and a virtual Collocator both have purchased dedicated appearances not then in use on a DSX-1 panel, DSX-3 panel, or FDF located within contiguous areas within the eligible structure, then AT&T-13STATE will permit the interconnection of physically and virtually collocated equipment by connection of copper or optical facilities to the Collocators’ dedicated appearances on the DSX-1 panel, DSX-3 panel, or FDF, subject only to the same reasonable safety requirements that AT&T-13STATE imposes on its own equipment. The connections shall be made within ten (10) days of a joint request by the Collocators. At AT&T-13STATE’s option, the connection may be made either by AT&T-13STATE or by the Collocators’ installers, who shall be on the list of approved installation vendors.
Interconnection to Others. The Interconnector may directly connect to other Interconnectors' facilities within the Physical Collocation Site. USWC agrees to provide to Interconnector, upon its receipt of the Interconnector's written request, any facilities necessary for such interconnection wherever such facilities exist or can be made available and USWC shall provide any such facilities pursuant to 4.3 preceding and Exhibits A and B. Further, USWC agrees to provide to the Interconnector, upon its receipt of the Interconnector's written request, unbundled network transmission elements at rates specified in Exhibits A and B, and USWC will facilitate interconnection of the Interconnector's collocation equipment to other services offered in USWC's tariffs or other Agreements (e.g.,
