Common use of Loop Testing Clause in Contracts

Loop Testing. 5.5.1 Spectra will not perform routine testing of the unbundled loop for maintenance purposes. CD will be required to provision a loop-testing device either in its central office, Network Control Center or in its collocation arrangement to test the unbundled loop. Spectra will perform repair and maintenance once trouble is identified by CD. 5.5.2 All Loop facilities furnished by Spectra on the premises of CD's end- users and up to the network interface or functional equivalent are the property of Spectra. Spectra must have access to all such facilities for network management purposes. Spectra employees and agents may enter said premises at any reasonable hour to test and inspect such facilities in connection with such purposes or, upon authorized termination or cancellation of the Loop facility, to remove such facility. 5.5.3 Spectra will provide loop transmission characteristics to CD end-users which are equal to those provided to Spectra end-users. 5.5.4 If CD leases loops which are conditioned to transmit digital signals, as a part of that conditioning, Spectra will test the loop and report digital signaling capability to CD. In maintenance and repair cases, if loop tests are taken, Spectra will provide any recorded readings to CD at time the trouble ticket is closed in the same manner as Spectra provides to itself and its end-users.
