emergency. For caged Collocation Space, such identification must be placed on a<br />

plaque affixed to the outside of the caged enclosure.<br />

5.6 Entrance Facilities. OTI may elect to place OTI-owned or OTI leased fiber<br />

entrance facilities into its Collocation Space. BellSouth will designate the point of<br />

interconnection in close proximity to the BellSouth Premises housing the<br />

Collocation Space, such as at an entrance manhole or a cable vault, which are<br />

physically accessible by both Parties. OTI will provide and place fiber cable in the<br />

entrance manhole of sufficient length to be pulled through conduit and into the<br />

splice location. OTI will provide and install a sufficient length of fire retardant<br />

riser cable, to which BellSouth will splice the entrance cable. The fire retardant<br />

riser cable will extend from the splice location to OTI’s equipment in OTI’s<br />

Collocation Space. In the event OTI utilizes a non-metallic, riser-type entrance<br />

facility, a splice will not be required. OTI must contact BellSouth for<br />

authorization and instruction prior to placing any entrance facility cable in an<br />

entrance manhole or cable vault. OTI is responsible for the maintenance of the<br />

entrance facilities. Nonrecurring charges for cable installation will be assessed on a<br />

per cable basis as set forth in Exhibit B upon receipt of OTI’s BFFO. Recurring<br />

charges for the cable support structure will be billed at the rates set forth in Exhibit<br />

B.<br />

5.6.1 Microwave Transmission Facilities. At OTI’s request, BellSouth will<br />

accommodate, where technically feasible and space is available, a microwave<br />

entrance facility, pursuant to separately negotiated rates, terms and conditions.<br />

5.6.2 Copper and Coaxial Cable Entrance Facilities. In Florida BellSouth shall permit<br />

OTI to use copper or coaxial cable entrance facilities, if approved by the<br />

Commission, but only in those rare instances where OTI demonstrates a necessity<br />

and entrance capacity is not at or near exhaust in a particular BellSouth Premises<br />

in which OTI’s Collocation Space is located. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in<br />

the case of adjacent collocation, copper facilities may be used between the adjacent<br />

collocation arrangement and the central office demarcation point; unless BellSouth<br />

determines that limited space is available for the placement of these entrance<br />

facilities.<br />

5.7 Dual Entrance Facilities. BellSouth will provide at least two (2) interconnection<br />

points at each BellSouth Premises where at least two (2) such interconnection<br />

points are available and capacity exists. Upon receipt of a request by OTI for dual<br />

entrance facilities to its physical Collocation Space, BellSouth shall provide OTI<br />

with information regarding BellSouth’s capacity to accommodate the requested<br />

dual entrance facilities. If conduit in the serving manhole(s) is available and is not<br />

reserved for another purpose or for utilization within twelve (12) months of the<br />

receipt of an application for collocation, BellSouth will make the requested conduit<br />

space available for the installation of a second entrance facility to OTI’s<br />

Collocation Space. The location of the serving manhole(s) will be determined at<br />
