Dark Fiber Loops Sample Clauses
The "Dark Fiber Loops" clause defines the terms under which unused optical fiber strands, known as dark fiber, are provided in a looped configuration for telecommunications or data transmission purposes. This clause typically outlines the responsibilities for installation, maintenance, and access to these fiber loops, specifying whether the customer or provider manages the physical infrastructure. By clearly delineating the use and management of dark fiber loops, the clause ensures both parties understand their obligations and helps prevent disputes over network access and service quality.
Dark Fiber Loops. Dark Fiber is an optical transmission facility without attached multiplexing, aggregation or other electronics. Dark Fiber is unactivated fiber optic cable, deployed by Sprint, that has not been activated through connections to optronics that light it, and thereby render it capable of carrying communications.
Dark Fiber Loops. 3.4.3.1 Effective as of March 11, 2005, and subject to the transition requirements set forth in Section 3.4.3.2 below, Verizon is not required to provide RNK with access to a § 251(c)(3) Dark Fiber Loop on an unbundled basis.
Dark Fiber Loops. Sprint will provide CLEC Dark Fiber Loops on an unbundled basis except where the Commission or FCC has determined that requesting Telecommunication Carriers are not impaired without access to a Dark Fiber Loop to a specific customer location. Specific terms and conditions for providing Dark Fiber Loops are contained in this Part of this Agreement.
Dark Fiber Loops. CenturyLink is not required to provide CLEC with access to Dark Fiber Loops on an unbundled basis.
Dark Fiber Loops. 2.4.4.1 AT&T shall provide NuVox with nondiscriminatory access to a Dark Fiber Loop on an unbundled basis. Dark Fiber Loop is fiber within an existing fiber optic cable that has not been activated through the use of optronics to render it capable of carrying communications services that extends from the demarcation point at an end user customer’s premises and the AT&T central office. Dark Fiber Loops may be strands of optical fiber existing in aerial or underground structure.
Dark Fiber Loops. Brightspeed is not required to provide CLEC with access to Dark Fiber Loops on an unbundled basis.
Dark Fiber Loops. 45.11.1.1. Dark Fiber is an optical transmission facility without attached multiplexing, aggregation or other electronics. Dark Fiber is unactivated fiber optic cable, deployed by Embarq ILEC that has not been activated through connections to optronics that light it, and thereby render it capable of carrying communications.
45.11.1.2. Embarq ILEC is not required to provide CLEC with access to dark fiber loop on an unbundled basis.
45.11.1.3. For an 18-month period beginning on 3/11/05, any dark fiber loop UNEs that CLEC leases from Embarq ILEC as of 3/11/05 shall be available for lease from Embarq ILEC at the rate on Table One. The charges for dark fiber loop are subject to true-up retroactive to 3/5/05 regardless of when this Agreement is effective. CLEC may not obtain new dark fiber loops as UNEs.
45.11.1.4. CLEC must submit the necessary orders to convert these UNEs to an alternative service arrangement within eighteen months of 3/11/05. Embarq ILEC will issue a credit to CLEC for the service order/conversion charge in Table One for orders submitted prior to 12/11/05. By 9/10/06, CLEC must transition the UNEs to alternative facilities or arrangements. If CLEC fails to submit the necessary orders on or before 9/10/06, Embarq ILEC will convert the Dark Fiber Loops to comparable Access Services, if any, or disconnect the Dark Fiber facilities. Embarq ILEC will assess the conversion charge and a management fee for the work performed by Embarq ILEC on behalf of CLEC.
Dark Fiber Loops. (a) Dark Fiber is an optical transmission facility without attached multiplexing, aggregation or other electronics. Dark Fiber is unactivated fiber optic cable, deployed by Embarq that has not been activated through connections to optronics that light it, and thereby render it capable of carrying communications.
(b) Embarq is not required to provide CLEC with access to Dark Fiber Loop on an unbundled basis.
(c) Any Dark Fiber Loop that CLEC previously leased from Embarq but which Embarq is not obligated to unbundle pursuant to Sections 45.11 shall be subject to the following:
(i) Such Dark Fiber Loops must be converted to an alternative service arrangement within thirty (30) Days of the Effective Date of this Agreement. If CLEC fails to submit the necessary orders to convert such Dark Fiber Loops to an alternative service arrangement within such thirty (30) Day period, Embarq will have the right to disconnect such Dark Fiber Loops.
(ii) Any service provided by Embarq to CLEC over Dark Fiber Loops between 03/11/05 and 09/05/06 shall be billed at 115% of the rate applicable for such Dark Fiber Loops immediately prior to that period, and any service provided by Embarq to CLEC over Dark Fiber Loops after 09/05/06 and prior to such conversion or disconnection shall be billed at applicable rates for comparable access services based on the capacity of the electronics deployed by the CLEC in connection with such Dark Fiber Loops.
Dark Fiber Loops. Except as otherwise provided in this section, Verizon shall provide ***CLEC Acronym TXT*** with nondiscriminatory access to a dark fiber loop on an unbundled basis. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.9, Verizon shall be relieved of its obligation under Section 251(c)(3) of the Act to provide ***CLEC Acronym TXT*** with access to Dark Fiber Loops under the Amended Agreement at a specific customer location upon a finding in a final and non-appealable order by the [***State Commission TXT***] or the FCC that requesting telecommunications carriers are not impaired without access to such Loops at such customer location.
Dark Fiber Loops. Verizon shall continue to provide AT&T with nondiscriminatory access to dark fiber loop on an unbundled basis.
