SBC-13STATE may not require Collocator to use an intermediate Sample Clauses

SBC-13STATE may not require Collocator to use an intermediate interconnection arrangement (i.e., a POT bay) that simply increases collocation costs without a concomitant benefit to incumbents, in lieu of direct connection to SBC-13STATE’s network if technically feasible. SBC-13STATE may take reasonable steps to protect its own equipment, such as, but not limited to, enclosing SBC-13STATE equipment in its own cage, and other reasonable security measures examples of which are described herein Section 13 of this Appendix. SBC-13STATE must make cageless collocation space available in single-bay increments, meaning that Collocator can purchase space in single bay increments. SBC-13STATE will prorate the charge for site conditioning and preparation undertaken to construct or condition the collocation space so the first Collocator in an SBC-13STATE Premise will not be responsible for the entire cost of site preparation. SBC-13STATE will provide collocation space in CEV’s, Huts or Cabinets in increments of “rack inches” (the amount of vertical rack space required to mount the Collocator’s equipment including any space required for equipment separation and heat dissipation).
