Common use of Unbundled Copper Loop – Non-Designed (UCL-ND Clause in Contracts

Unbundled Copper Loop – Non-Designed (UCL-ND. 2.4.3.1 The UCL–ND is provisioned as a dedicated 2-wire metallic transmission facility from BellSouth’s Main Distribution Frame 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 6kft of bridged tap between the end user’s premises and the serving wire center. The UCL-ND typically will be 1300 Ohms resistance and in most cases will not exceed 18kft in length, although the UCL-ND will not have a specific length limitation. For loops less than 18kft 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. 2.4.3.2 The UCL-ND facilities may be mechanically assigned using BellSouth’s assignment systems. Therefore, the Loop Make Up process is not required to order and provision the UCL-ND. However, GulfPines can request Loop Make Up for which additional charges would apply. 2.4.3.3 At an additional charge, BellSouth also will make available Loop Testing so that GulfPines may request further testing on the UCL-ND. 2.4.3.4 UCL-ND loops are not intended to support any particular service and may be utilized by GulfPines to provide a wide-range of telecommunications services so long as those services do not adversely affect BellSouth’s network. The UCL-ND will include a Network Interface Device (NID) at the customer’s location for the purpose of connecting the loop to the customer’s inside wire. 2.4.3.5 Order Coordination (OC) will be provided as a chargeable option and may be utilized when the UCL-ND provisioning is associated with the reuse of BellSouth facilities. Order Coordination -Time Specific (OC-TS) does not apply to this product. 2.4.3.6 GulfPines may use BellSouth’s Unbundled Loop Modification (ULM) offering to remove bridged tap and/or load coils from any loop within the BellSouth network. Therefore, some loops that would not qualify as UCL-ND could be transformed into loops that do qualify, using the ULM process.

The UCL-ND will not be designed and will not be provisioned with either a DLR or a test point. 2.4.3.2 The UCL-ND facilities may be mechanically assigned using BellSouth’s assignment systems. Therefore, the Loop Make Up Makeup (LMU) process is not required to order and provision the UCL-ND. However, GulfPines can request Loop Make Up for which additional charges would applyupon AT&T AND TC SYSTEMS’s request, BellSouth will provide AT&T AND TC SYSTEMS with non-discriminatory access to the same detailed information about the loop (e.g., composition, electronics, length, gauge, electrical parameters) that is available to BellSouth in the same time interval it is provided to BellSouth’s retail operations. 2.4.3.3 At For an additional charge, BellSouth also will make available Loop Testing so that GulfPines AT&T AND TC SYSTEMS may request further testing on the UCL-ND. Rates for Loop Testing are as set forth in Exhibit A of this Attachment. 2.4.3.4 UCL-ND loops Loops are not intended to support any particular service and may be utilized by GulfPines AT&T AND TC SYSTEMS to provide a wide-range of telecommunications services so as long as those services do not adversely affect BellSouth’s significantly degrade other services on the BellSouth network. The UCL-ND will include a Network Interface Device (NID) NID at the customer’s location for the purpose of connecting the loop Loop to the customer’s inside wire. 2.4.3.5 Order Coordination (OC) OC will be provided as a chargeable option and may be utilized when the UCL-ND provisioning is associated with the reuse of an existing BellSouth facilitiescircuit that is currently providing service.
