4.14.4.1 Loop Distribution is a sub-loop Network Element that is composed of two distinct component parts:
Distribution Media and a Network Interface Device (NID) or Minimum Point of Entry (MPOE). Each
component part is defined in detail below.
4.14.4.1.1 Distribution Media provides connectivity between the NID and the terminal block on the subscriber-side of
an FDI. The FDI is a device that terminates both the Distribution Media and the Loop Feeder. The
distribution and feeder facilities are cross-connected at the FDI to create a bundled Loop (i.e., a continuous
transmission path between the NID and a telephone company central office MDF). The FDI typically makes
use of a manual cross-connection, and may be housed inside an outside plant cabinet, hut or remote
terminal (“green box”), in a vault (commonly known as a controlled environment Vault – CEV), or utility room
in a multi-dwelling unit.
4.14.4.1.2 The Distribution Media will be copper twisted pair.
4.14.4.1.2.1 SBC TEXAS will provide Loop distribution in response to specific CLEC requests for such access.
4.14.5 Requirements for All Distribution
4.14.5.1 251(c)(3) Unbundled Distribution shall be capable of transmitting signals for the following services if
provided (as requested by CLEC):
4.14.5.2 SBC TEXAS shall provide Unbundled Distribution in conformance with the relevant and applicable
requirements set forth in the industry standard technical reference.
4.14.5.3 SBC TEXAS shall provide CLEC with nondiscriminatory access to unbundled Distribution.
4.14.5.4 SBC TEXAS shall offer unbundled Distribution together with, and separately from the NID component of
Loop Distribution. Where CLEC requests such Distribution without the SBC TEXAS NID, CLEC will provide
a suitable NID in accordance with the relevant and applicable standards listed in the industry standard
technical reference.
4.14.5.5 Intentionally Left Blank
4.14.5.6 If CLEC purchases a Sub-loop at the NID, the Sub-loop will include the functionality of the NID for the Subloop
portion purchased.
4.14.6 Inside Wire Subloop Definition
The Inside Wire Subloop network element, as set forth in FCC Rule 51.319(b), is defined as any portion of
the loop that is technically feasible to access from any point in SBC TEXAS’ outside plant at or near a
multiunit premises, the inside wire owned, leased, or controlled by SBC TEXAS. Typically, the inside wire
subloop is accessed at the premises’ minimum point of entry (MPOE), as defined in FCC Rule 68.105 and
SBC TEXAS’ demarcation point as defined in FCC Rule 68.3. In multi-unit properties, the Inside Wire
Subloop may include the NID. Maintenance and control of inside wire is under the control of the premises
owner, except in those multi-unit properties where SBC TEXAS owns and maintains control over inside wire
within a building or on a property up to the NID. Maintenance and control of Insider Wire Subloop on the
property owner’s side of the demarcation point may be under the control of the property owner or the End
User.
4.14.6.1 Inside Wire Subloop UNEs must be made available at any capacity level or transmission type.
