Loop Conditioning. Conditioned loops are loops from which excessive bridge taps, load coils, low-pass filters, range extenders, and similar devices have been removed to enable the delivery of high-speed switched wireline telecommunications capability, including DSL. Embarq will condition loops at CLEC’s request and will assess charges for loop conditioning in accordance with the prices listed in Table One. Embarq recommends that CLEC utilize the Loop Make-Up process in Section 48 prior to submitting orders for loops intended for advanced services.
Loop Conditioning. 2.2.1 Subject to applicable and effective FCC rules and orders, BellSouth shall condition loops, as requested by Accutel, whether or not BellSouth offers advanced services to the End User on that loop.
2.2.2 Loop conditioning is defined as the removal from the loop of any devices that may diminish the capability of the loop to deliver high-speed switched wireline telecommunications capability, including xDSL service. Such devices include, but are not limited to, bridge taps, low pass filters, and range extenders.
Loop Conditioning. 2.2.1 Subject to applicable and effective FCC rules and orders, BellSouth shall condition loops, as requested by Mpower, whether or not BellSouth offers advanced services to the End User on that loop.
2.2.2 Loop conditioning is defined as the removal from the loop of any devices that may diminish the capability of the loop to deliver high-speed switched wireline telecommunications capability, including xDSL service. Such devices include, but are not limited to, bridge taps, low pass filters, and range extenders.
2.2.3 BellSouth shall recover the cost of line conditioning requested by Mpower through a recurring charge and/or nonrecurring charge(s) in accordance with the FCC’s forward- looking pricing principles promulgated pursuant to section 252 (d) (1) of the Act and in compliance with FCC Rule 52.507 (e).
Loop Conditioning. CD may also require that the analog loops ordered above be conditioned in order for them to provide the end user service. Types of conditioning include: Type C, Type DA, and Improved C. The price for such conditioning shall be the applicable charge as provided in Appendix D.
5.4.1 Upon CD request and where available, digital copper loops may be provisioned in a manner that will allow for the transmission of digital signals required for ISDN and ADSL service without additional conditioning. Additional charges (e.g. Mid-span Repeaters) may apply for these digital loops. If CD demands other types of loop conditioning, they will be provided to the extent offered in Spectra’s tariffs and under their terms.
Loop Conditioning. 4.1 AT&T MICHIGAN will condition xDSL loops and xDSL subloops in accordance with the lawful and effective requirements of 47 C.F.R. §51.319(a)(1)(iii); provided, however: (i) If load coils, repeaters or Excessive Bridged Tap are present on a loop less than 12,000 feet in actual loop length, conditioning to remove these elements will be performed without request and at no charge to Climax; (ii) if the loop qualification indicates conditioning is available on a loop that is 12,000 feet in actual loop length or greater, Climax may request that no conditioning be performed or that AT&T MICHIGAN perform some or all of the available loop conditioning to remove Excessive Bridged Tap, load coils and/or repeaters at the rates set forth in Appendix Pricing.
4.2 Removal of All or Non-Excessive Bridged Tap (“RABT”)
4.2.1 Climax may request RABT conditioning via a trouble ticket after its service order for the xDSL Loop or xDSL Subloop has been completed; provided, however, Climax shall assist in trouble isolation for RABT-related initial trouble tickets by obtaining and providing to AT&T MICHIGAN interferer information on the loop at the time of opening the trouble ticket. Climax should utilize its testing equipment to determine the following: the number and location of load coil(s), repeater(s) and bridged tap(s), including the length of individual sections. If an RABT trouble ticket is opened, and it is later determined by AT&T MICHIGAN that the requested conditioning is not available because no such bridged tap was on the loop, the trouble ticket will be closed as a ‘No Trouble Found’ (NTF) and Climax shall pay the Maintenance of Service charges referenced in Section 7.2 below.
4.2.2 Climax may open an RABT trouble ticket via one of the following two methods: (i) by calling the LOC and opening a manual ticket with its specific RABT conditioning request; or (ii) by opening an electronic bonding ticket and in such case, shall identify its specific RABT conditioning request in the remarks field. If the specific RABT conditioning request is not documented on the Climax trouble ticket, the trouble ticket will be returned to Climax for specific information. Upon Xxxxxx’s request, the LOC will also investigate and address any AT&T MICHIGAN non-conditioning related reasons for any No Sync situation, or ensure Climax’s RABT request is appropriate by verifying the subject bridged tap is located on the loop, but AT&T MICHIGAN does not guarantee the synchronization of any loop...
Loop Conditioning. 4.1.4.1 Subject to applicable and effective FCC rules and orders, BellSouth shall condition loops, as requested by TCI, whether or not BellSouth offers advanced services to the End User on that loop.
4.1.4.2 Loop conditioning is defined as the removal from the loop of any devices that may diminish the capability of the loop to deliver high-speed switched wireline telecommunications capability, including xDSL service. Such devices include, but are not limited to, bridge taps, low pass filters, and range extenders.
4.1.4.3 BellSouth shall recover the cost of line conditioning requested by TCI through a recurring charge and/or nonrecurring charge(s) in accordance with the FCC’s forward-looking pricing principles promulgated pursuant to section 252 (d) (1) of the Act and in compliance with FCC Rule 52.507 (e). In those cases where TCI has requested that BellSouth modify a loop so that it no longer meets the technical parameters for a service specific loop (e.g., voice grade, ISDN, ADSL, etc.) the resulting modified loop will be ordered and maintained as a UCL.
