Unbundled Copper Loop Sample Clauses
The Unbundled Copper Loop clause defines the terms under which a telecommunications provider must make its copper wire infrastructure available to other service providers. In practice, this clause allows competitors to access the physical copper lines that connect end users to the local exchange, enabling them to offer their own voice or broadband services without building duplicate infrastructure. Its core function is to promote competition in telecommunications markets by ensuring that new entrants can use existing copper networks, thereby reducing barriers to entry and fostering consumer choice.
Unbundled Copper Loop. Designed (UCL-D)
2.4.2.1 The UCL-D will be provisioned as a dry copper twisted pair (2-wire or 4-wire) Loop that is unencumbered by any intervening equipment (e.g., filters, load coils, range extenders, digital loop carrier, or repeaters).

2.11.3.1 The UCL–ND is provisioned as a dedicated 2-wire metallic transmission facility from AT&T‟s Main Distribution Frame (MDF) to a customer‟s premises (including the NID). The UCL-ND will be a “dry copper” facility in that it will not have any intervening equipment such as load coils, repeaters, or digital access main lines (DAMLs), and may have up to 6,000 feet of bridged tap between the customer‟s premises and the serving wire center. The UCL-ND typically will be 1300 Ohms resistance and in most cases will not exceed 18,000 feet in length, although the UCL-ND will not have a specific length limitation. For loops less than 18,000 feet and with less than 1300 Ohms resistance, the loop will provide a voice grade transmission channel suitable for loop start signaling and the transport of analog voice grade signals. The UCL-ND will not be designed and will not be provisioned with either a DLR or a test point.
