Common use of Demarcation Point Clause in Contracts

Demarcation Point. 79.1. Embarq will designate the point of demarcation, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the Parties, in or adjacent to its Collocation Space. At CLEC's request, Embarq will identify the location(s) of other possible demarcation points available to CLEC, and CLEC will designate from these location(s) the point(s) of demarcation between its collocated equipment and Embarq's equipment. Embarq will use its best efforts to identify the closest demarcation point to CLEC's equipment that is available. 79.2. Each Party will be responsible for maintenance and operation of all equipment/facilities on its side of the demarcation point. 79.3. At CLEC’s option and expense, a point of termination (POT) bay, frame or digital cross-connect may be placed in or adjacent to the Collocation Space that may, at CLEC’s option, serve as the demarcation point. If CLEC elects not to provide a POT frame, Embarq will agree to handoff the interconnection cables to CLEC at its equipment, at CLEC’s designated demarcation point. When CLEC elects to install its own POT frame/cabinet, Embarq must still provide and install the required DC power panel.
