Southern Light
1Q08 GENERIC INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT – 03/10/08
which provides for simultaneous two-way transmission of serial bipolar return-to-zero synchronous
digital electrical signals at a transmission rate of fifty-one point eighty-four (51.84) Mbps. It may
provide transport for twenty-eight (28) DS1 channels, each of which provides the digital equivalent
of twenty-four (24) analog voice grade channels. The interface to unbundled dedicated STS-1
transport is a metallic-based electrical interface.
2.3.10 Both DS3 Loop and STS-1 Loop require a SI in order to ascertain availability.
2.3.11 DS3 services come with a test point and a DLR. Mileage is airline miles, rounded up and a
minimum of one (1) mile applies. AT&T’s LightGate® TR73501 Service Interface and Performance
Specifications, Issue D, June 1995 applies to DS3 services.
2.3.12 Southern Light may obtain a maximum of a single Unbundled DS3 Loop to any single building in
which DS3 Loops are available as Unbundled Loops.
2.4 Unbundled Copper Loops (UCL).
2.4.1 AT&T shall make available UCLs. The UCL is a copper twisted pair Loop that is unencumbered by
any intervening equipment (e.g., filters, load coils, range extenders, digital loop carrier, or
repeaters) and is not intended to support any particular telecommunications service. The UCL will
be offered in two (2) types – Designed and Non-Designed.
2.4.2 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).
2.4.2.2 A UCL-D will be eighteen thousand (18,000) feet or less in length and is provisioned according to
Resistance Design parameters, may have up to six thousand (6,000) feet of bridged tap and will
have up to thirteen hundred (1300) Ohms of resistance.
2.4.2.3 The UCL-D is a designed circuit, is provisioned with a test point, and comes standard with a DLR.
OC is a chargeable option for a UCL-D; however, OC is always required on UCLs where a reuse of
existing facilities has been requested by Southern Light.
2.4.2.4 These Loops are not intended to support any particular services and may be utilized by Southern
Light to provide a wide-range of telecommunications services as long as those services do not
adversely affect AT&T’s network. This facility 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 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 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 six thousand (6,000) feet of bridged tap
