non-working dark fiber entrance cable that terminates into a BellSouth Premises, this
telecommunications carrier must arrange for BellSouth to perform the cable splice in
accordance with BellSouth’s Special Construction Procedures, RL93-11-030BT, and
provide a LOA from TC SYSTEMS authorizing BellSouth to perform the splice of
this telecommunications carrier’s fiber riser cable to the available non-working dark
fiber entrance cable owned by TC SYSTEMS.
5.10 Demarcation Point. BellSouth will designate the point(s) of demarcation between TC
SYSTEMS’s equipment and/or network and BellSouth’s network located as close as
reasonably possible to TC SYSTEMS’s Collocation Space. Each Party will be
responsible for the maintenance and operation of all equipment/facilities on its side of
the demarcation point. BellSouth will not require TC SYSTEMS to use an
intermediate connection in lieu of direct interconnection to BellSouth’s network, if
technically feasible. For 2-wire and 4-wire connections to BellSouth’s network, the
demarcation point shall be a common block on BellSouth’s designated conventional
distributing frame (CDF). TC SYSTEMS shall be responsible for providing the
necessary cabling, and TC SYSTEMS’s BellSouth Certified Supplier shall be
responsible for installing and properly labeling/stenciling the common block and any
necessary cabling identified in Section 7 of this Attachment. TC SYSTEMS or its
agent must perform all required maintenance to the equipment/facilities on its side of
the demarcation point, pursuant to Section 5.7, following, and may self-provision
cross-connects that may be required within its own Collocation Space to activate
service requests.
5.11 Facility Labeling and Assignment Information for Physical Collocation
5.11.1 When a POT bay is used:
5.11.1.1 For a DS0 interface, stenciling and labeling on the BellSouth MDF and COSMIC
frames and the DS0 POT bays should be done as follows:
With a non-cross-connectable POT, label the POT frame with its frame name (FA0,
etc.) and its own RR#. Label each block (or place a label for a group of blocks such
as for each row) on the POT with the cable name and count, the row (shelf letter) and
vertical range, and the BST frame name and row and vertical range where it appears
on the BST MDF. Label the MDF frame blocks with the cable and pair name and
count, and with the POT frame name, RR#, and row and vertical range it is terminated
on. This labeling is to be done by the BellSouth vendor placing the cabling between the
POT and the BellSouth MDF.
• With a cross-connectable POT, label the POT frame itself with its frame name (FA0,
etc.) and its own RR#. Label the collocator’s assigned terminations with the
collocator’s cable and pair name and range. Label the BellSouth assigned
terminations with the tie cable and pair name and range and the MDF/COSMIC
frame name and row and vertical range where they appear. Label the COSMIC frame
with the MELD run labels; label the non-COSMIC frame blocks with the tie cable
