2.3.10 Both DS3 Loop and STS-1 Loop require a SI in order to ascertain availability.<br />
2.3.11 DS3 services come with a test point and a DLR. Mileage is airline miles, rounded<br />
up and a minimum of one (1) mile applies. BellSouth’s TR73501<br />
LightGate ® Service Interface and Performance Specifications, Issue D, June 1995<br />
applies to DS3 services.<br />
2.3.12 OTI may obtain a maximum of a single Unbundled DS3 Loop to any single<br />
building in which DS3 Loops are available as Unbundled Loops.<br />
2.4 Unbundled Copper Loops (UCL).<br />
2.4.1 BellSouth shall make available UCLs. The UCL is a copper twisted pair Loop that<br />
is unencumbered by any intervening equipment (e.g., filters, load coils, range<br />
extenders, digital loop carrier, or repeaters) and is not intended to support any<br />
particular telecommunications service. The UCL will be offered in two types –<br />
Designed and Non-Designed.<br />
2.4.2 Unbundled Copper Loop – Designed (UCL-D)<br />
2.4.2.1 The UCL-D will be provisioned as a dry copper twisted pair (2-wire or 4-wire)<br />
Loop that is unencumbered by any intervening equipment (e.g., filters, load coils,<br />
range extenders, digital loop carrier, or repeaters).<br />
2.4.2.2 A UCL-D will be eighteen thousand (18,000) feet or less in length and is<br />
provisioned according to Resistance Design parameters, may have up to six<br />
thousand (6,000) feet of bridged tap and will have up to thirteen hundred (1300)<br />
Ohms of resistance.<br />
2.4.2.3 The UCL-D is a designed circuit, is provisioned with a test point, and comes<br />
standard with a DLR. OC is a chargeable option for a UCL-D; however, OC is<br />
always required on UCLs where a reuse of existing facilities has been requested by<br />
OTI.<br />
2.4.2.4 These Loops are not intended to support any particular services and may be<br />
utilized by OTI to provide a wide-range of telecommunications services as long as<br />
those services do not adversely affect BellSouth’s network. This facility will<br />
include a Network Interface Device (NID) at the customer’s location for the<br />
purpose of connecting the Loop to the customer’s inside wire.<br />
2.4.3 Unbundled Copper Loop – Non-Designed (UCL-ND)<br />
2.4.3.1 The UCL–ND is provisioned as a dedicated 2-wire metallic transmission facility<br />
from BellSouth’s Main Distribution Frame (MDF) to a customer’s premises<br />
(including the NID). The UCL-ND will be a “dry copper” facility in that it will not<br />
have any intervening equipment such as load coils, repeaters, or digital access main<br />
