Sprint Embarq will provide CLEC Level 3 with information that will enable their technician to locate end user inside wiring at NIDs terminating multiple subscribers. Sprint Embarq will dispatch a technician and tag the wiring at the CLECLevel 3’s request. In such cases the charges specified in Table One will apply. 43.5. Sprint Embarq will not provide specialized (Sprint Embarq non-standard) NIDSNIDS to Xxxxx 0 subject to a BFR of the first request. Embarq will provide subsequent requests for the same specialized (Embarq non-standard) NIDs, subject to ICB. 43.6. The Sprint Embarq NID shall provide a clean, accessible point of connection for the inside wiring and for the distribution media and/or cross connect to CLECLevel 3’s NID and shall maintain a connection to ground that meets applicable industry standards. Each Party shall ground its NID independently of the other party’s NID. 43.7. When requested, Sprint Embarq will provide NIDs separately from loops for a separate price as shown in Table 1. A NID will be provided with each unbundled loop and is included in the loop pricing shown in Table 1.

Network Interface Device. 43.144.1. Sprint Embarq ILEC will offer unbundled access to the network interface device element (NID). The NID is defined as any means of interconnection of end-user customer premises wiring to an incumbent LEC’s distribution plant, such as a cross connect device used for that purpose. This includes all features, functions, and capabilities of the facilities used to connect the loop to end-end- user customer premises wiring, regardless of the specific mechanical design. 43.244.2. The function of the NID is to establish the network demarcation point between a LEC (ILEC/CLEC) and its subscriber. The NID provides a protective ground connection, protection against lightning and other high voltage surges and is capable of terminating cables such as twisted pair cable. 43.344.3. CLEC may connect its NID to SprintEmbarq ILEC’s NID; may connect an unbundled loop to its NID; or may connect its own Loop to SprintEmbarq ILEC’s NID. Sprint Embarq ILEC will provide one NID termination with each loop. If additional NID terminations are required, CLEC may request them pursuant to the process detailed in the Bona Fide Request Section herein. 43.444.4. Sprint Embarq ILEC will provide CLEC with information that will enable their technician to locate end user inside wiring at NIDs terminating multiple subscribers. Sprint Embarq ILEC will dispatch a technician and tag the wiring at the CLEC’s request. In such cases the charges specified in Table One will apply. 43.544.5. Sprint Embarq ILEC will not provide specialized (Sprint Embarq ILEC non-standard) NIDS. 43.644.6. The Sprint Embarq ILEC NID shall provide a clean, accessible point of connection for the inside wiring and for the distribution media and/or cross connect to CLEC’s NID and shall maintain a connection to ground that meets applicable industry standards. Each Party shall ground its NID independently of the other party’s NID. 43.744.7. When requested, Sprint Embarq ILEC will provide NIDs separately from loops for a separate price as shown in Table 1. A NID will be provided with each unbundled loop and is included in the loop pricing shown in Table 1.

Network Interface Device. 43.1. 5.1 Sprint will offer unbundled access to the network interface device devise element (NID). The NID is defined as any means of interconnection of end-user customer premises wiring to an incumbent LEC’s LECs distribution plant, such as a cross connect device used for that purpose. This includes all features, functions, and capabilities of the facilities used to connect the loop to end-user customer premises wiring, regardless of the specific mechanical design. 43.2. 5.2 The function of the NID is to establish the network demarcation point between a LEC (ILEC/CLEC) and its subscriber. The NID provides a protective ground connection, protection against lightning and other high voltage surges and is capable of terminating cables such as twisted pair cable. 43.3. 5.3 CLEC may connect its NID to Sprint’s NID; may connect an unbundled loop to its NID; or may connect its own Loop to Sprint’s NID. Sprint will provide one NID termination with of each loop.
