Unbundled Sub. Loop distribution facilities shall support functions associated with provisioning, maintenance and testing of the Unbundled Sub-Loop. For access to Voice Grade USLD and UCSL, Global Connection shall install a cable to the BellSouth cross-box pursuant to the terms and conditions for physical collocation for remote sites set forth in this Agreement. This cable would be connected by a BellSouth technician within the BellSouth cross-box during the set-up process. Global Connection’s cable pairs can then be connected to BellSouth’s USL within the BellSouth cross-box by the BellSouth technician.
Unbundled Sub. Loop shall be equal to or better than each of the applicable requirements set forth in the applicable industry standard technical references.
Unbundled Sub. Loop distribution facilities were originally built as part of the entire voice grade loop from the BellSouth central office to the customer network interface. Therefore, the voice grade Unbundled Sub-Loop may have load coils, which are necessary for transmission of voice grade services.
Unbundled Sub. Loop Distribution (USL-D) will include the sub-loop facility from the cross-box in the field up to and including the point of demarcation.
Unbundled Sub. Loop distribution facilities shall support functions associated with provisioning, maintenance and testing of the Unbundled Sub-Loop. In a scenario that involves connection at a BellSouth cross-box located in the field, Mpower would be required to deliver a cable to the BellSouth remote terminal or cross-box to provide continuity to Mpower’s feeder facilities. This cable would be connected, by a BellSouth technician, to a cross-connect panel within the BellSouth RT/cross-box. Mpower’s cable pairs can then be connected to BellSouth’s USL within the BellSouth cross-box by the BellSouth technician. In a scenario that requires connection in a building equipment room, BellSouth will install a cross connect panel on which access to the requested sub-loops will be connected. The CLEC’s cable pairs can then be connected to the Unbundled Sub-Loop pairs on this cross-connect panel by the BellSouth technician.
Unbundled Sub. Loop shall be equal to or better than each of the applicable interface requirements set forth in the following technical references:
Unbundled Sub. Loop shall support functions associated with provisioning, maintenance and testing of the Unbundled Sub-Loop itself, as well as provide necessary access to provisioning, maintenance and testing functions for Network Elements to which it is associated.
Unbundled Sub. Loop provides connectivity between the NID component of the unbundled sub-loop and the terminal block on the customer-side of a Feeder Distribution Interface (FDI). This termination and cross-connect field may be in the form of an outside plant distribution closure, remote terminal or fiber node, or an underground vault. Riser Cable that extends from BST’s point-of-entry into a building (e.g., equipment closet, terminal room, etc.) to the NID on a particular floor or office space in a multi-tenant building is also classified as a USL. Unbundled Sub-Loops will be provisioned as 2-wire or 4-wire circuits and will include a NID.
Unbundled Sub. Loop shall be equal to or better than all of the applicable requirements set forth in the following technical references:
6.2.2.3.1 Bellcore TR-TSY-000057, “Functional Criteria for Digital Loop Carrier Systems”; and
6.2.2.3.2 Bellcore TR-NWT-000393, “Generic Requirements for ISDN Basic Access Digital Subscriber Lines.”
Unbundled Sub. Loop distribution facilities shall support functions associated with provisioning, maintenance and testing of the Unbundled Sub-Loop. For access to Voice Grade USL-D and UCSL, <<customer_name>> would be required to deliver a cable to the BellSouth remote terminal or cross-box in the field to provide continuity to <<customer_name>>’s feeder facilities. This cable would be connected, by a BellSouth technician, within the BellSouth RT/cross-box during the set-up process. <<customer_name>>’s cable pairs can then be connected to BellSouth’s USL within the BellSouth cross-box by the BellSouth technician.
