Network Interface Device (NID) Clause Samples

Network Interface Device (NID). 3.1 The Windstream NID is defined as any means of Interconnection of Customer on-premises wiring and Windstream's distribution plant, such as a cross connect device used for that purpose. Specifically, the NID is a single line termination device or that portion of a multiple line termination device required to terminate a single line or circuit at a premises. If Comcast seeks to access a NID, it may do so only pursuant to Section 3. If Comcast seeks to access a NID, it may only do so pursuant to this Section 3. Windstream shall permit Comcast to connect its own Loop facilities to on-premises wiring through Windstream's NID, or at any other Technically Feasible point. The NID carries with it all features, functions and capabilities of the facilities used to connect the Loop distribution plant to the End User Customer's premises wiring, including access to the Cross Connection field, regardless of the particular design of the NID mechanism. Although the NID provides the connection to the End User Customer's premises wiring, it may not represent the Demarcation Point where Windstream ownership or control of the intra-premises wiring ends. The NID contains a protective ground connection that protects the End User Customer's on-premises wiring against lightning and other high voltage surges and is capable of terminating media such as twisted pair cable. The NID is offered in three (3) varieties: 3.1.1 Simple NID - The modular NID is divided into two (2) components, one containing the over-voltage unit (protector) and the other containing the End User Customer's on-premises inside wiring termination, and a modular plug which connects the inside wire to the distribution plant or dial tone source. The non-modular NID is a protector block with the inside wire terminated directly on the distribution facilities.

Network Interface Device (NID). The point of demarcation between the end user's inside wiring and CenturyTel's facilities.

Network Interface Device (NID). A stand-alone Network Element defined as any means of interconnecting customer premises wiring to CenturyLink’s distribution plant, such as a cross- connect device used for that purpose. The NID houses the protector which establishes the demarcation point between the loop (inclusive of the NID) and the End User Customer’s Inside Wire pursuant to 47 CFR 68.105. Except in multi- unit tenant properties where CenturyLink owns and maintains control over Inside Wire within a building, maintenance and control of the End User Customer’s Inside Wiring (i.e., on the End User Customer’s side of the NID) is under the control of the End User Customer. For purposes of this definition, the phrase “End User Customer Access Side of the NID” is descriptive and does not convey any ownership or usage rights.

Network Interface Device (NID). The VERIZON provided interface terminating VERIZON’s telecommunication network on the property where the customer’s End-User service is located at a point determined by VERIZON. The NID contains an FCC Part 68 registered ▇▇▇▇ from which inside wire may be connected to VERIZON’s network. The point of demarcation between the End-User's inside wiring and VERIZON's facilities.

Network Interface Device (NID). The GTE provided interface terminating GTE’s telecommunication network on the property where the customer’s End-User service is located at a point determined by GTE. The NID contains an FCC Part 68 registered ▇▇▇▇ from which inside wire may be connected to GTE’s network. The point of demarcation between the End-User's inside wiring and GTE's facilities.

Network Interface Device (NID). The NID UNE is defined as any means of interconnection of Customer inside wiring to VERIZON’s distribution plant. To gain access to a Customer’s inside wiring, SPRINT may connect its own loop directly to VERIZON’s NID where SPRINT uses its own facilities to provide local service to a Customer formerly served by VERIZON, as long as such direct connection does not adversely affect VERIZON’s network. VERIZON shall have the right to deny SPRINT's ability to connect its own loop directly to VERIZON's NID.

Network Interface Device (NID). The NID is a cross-connect device used to connect loop facilities to Customer-owned inside wiring and serves as the point of demarcation between the end-user’s inside wiring and Spectra’s facilities.

Network Interface Device (NID). The NID UNE is defined as any means of interconnection of end-user Customer inside wiring to GTE’s distribution plant. To gain access to an end-user’s inside wiring, US Dial Tone may connect its own loop directly to GTE’s NID where US Dial Tone uses its own facilities to provide local service to an end-user formerly served by GTE, as long as such direct connection does not adversely affect GTE’s network.

Network Interface Device (NID). 3.1 The NID is a cross-connect used to connect loop facilities to inside wiring. The fundamental function of the NID is to establish the official network demarcation point between a carrier and its end-user customer. The NID features two independent ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or divisions, which separate the service provider’s network from the customer’s inside wiring. Each chamber or division contains the appropriate connection points or posts to which the service provider and the end-user customer each make their connections. 3.2 KMC will provide its own NID and may interface to the customer’s premises wiring through connections in the customer chamber of the ALLTEL NID. This connection will be in adherence with the FCC rules regarding NID to NID arrangements. 3.3 With respect to multiple dwelling units or multiple-unit business premises, KMC will provide its own NID and will connect directly with the customer’s inside wire. KMC will not require any connection to the ALLTEL NID, unless such premises are served by “single subscriber” type NIDs. 3.4 The ALLTEL NIDs that KMC uses under this Attachment will be those installed by ALLTEL to serve its customers. 3.5 Where feasible, the NID shall be physically accessible to KMC designated personnel. In cases where entrance to the customer premises is required to give access to the NID, KMC shall obtain entrance permission directly from the customer. 3.6 KMC will not attach to or disconnect ALLTEL's ground. KMC will not cut or disconnect ALLTEL's loop from its protector. KMC will not cut any other leads in the NID. KMC will protect all disconnected leads with plastic sleeves and will store them within the NID enclosure. KMC will tighten all screws or lugs loosened by KMC in the NID's enclosure and replace all protective covers. 3.7 Any repairs, upgrades, and/or rearrangements required by KMC will be performed by ALLTEL based on time and material charges.
