UDF is an existing, single-continuous transmission path that terminates on a Sprint Fiber Patch Panel (FPP). UDF can be between two Sprint wire centers, between a Sprint wire center and the end-user premises or between a Sprint wire center and an appropriate Outside Plant (OSP) structure such as a digital loop carrier or a hub in a cabinet. UDF can also be provided between two OSPs or between an OSP and the end-user premises. The availability of UDF allows a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) to construct its facilities using existing spare Sprint optical fiber between locations. With the proper electronics, UDF offers unlimited bandwidth availability. Use of a high-speed backbone allows aggregation of lower speed traffic, which saves on plant investment. However, Sprint does not make any representations as to the transmission capability of these facilities. UDF consists of the following elements: • Interoffice Facility: This element provides a route between two existing Sprint wire centers. • Loop: This element provides a route between a Sprint wire center and end-user premises. • Subloop: This element provides a portion of an existing UDF Loop. A subloop terminating in an OSP is designated as feeder fiber. Subloop from a FPP in a remote OSP location to another remote OSP location or end-user premises is designated as distribution fiber. Unbundled Dark Fiber can also be a combination of these elements. The CLEC must submit a Bona Fide Request (BFR) for an element not listed. Sprint offers UDF via optical cross-connect or fiber jumper from the Sprint FPP to a collocated CLEC FPP. Sprint will provide UDF where it is both available and accessible for the dedicated transport and unbundled loop network elements. Additional splicing of fiber strands is not an element of this product offering, but is available on an individual case basis (ICB) from Sprint. Sprint provides UDF to a CLEC in increments of a single strand. The CLEC will be required to submit a Dark Fiber Application with the application fee to their local account manager. The application process will verify the availability of the requested route, provide price quote information and reserve the requested dark fiber route for 10 business days. For additional information to initiate the process refer to the Requirements section of this guide. 10/02 Version 1 Copyright 2002 Sprint Communications Company 3 Unbundled Dark Fiber Product Details Sprint offers Unbundled Dark Fiber in the following configurations: Sprint Central Office (CO) to Sprint Central Office Route Type 1) Central office to central office (interoffice transport) Description The CLEC must have a collocation presence at each end of the fiber route. Fiber jumpers join the Sprint fiber, terminated on a patch panel, to the CLEC. Note: Transport routing can be provided through intermediate central offices. Collocation is not required in the intermediate offices. Terminating central offices need not be in adjacent wire centers. Sprint Central Office to End-user Premises Route Type 2) Central office to an end-user premises located FPP (loop) 10/02 Version 1 Description The CLEC must have a collocation presence in the Sprint CO. Fiber jumpers join the Sprint fiber, terminated on a patch panel, to the CLEC. Copyright 2002 Sprint Communications Company 4 Unbundled Dark Fiber Product Details (Continued) Sprint Central Office to Sprint Remote Site Route Type Description 3) Central office to remote site (feeder subloop) The CLEC must have a collocation presence in the Sprint CO and the remote site. A fiber jumper connects the Sprint FPP to the CLEC FPP. Additional fiber cable and splicing will be provided on an ICB at the remote site. Sprint Remote Site to Sprint Remote Site Route Type 4) Remote to remote (distribution subloop) 10/02 Version 1 Description The CLEC must have a collocation presence in both remote sites. A fiber cable may terminate from the Sprint FPP to CLEC outside plant (OSP) facility. Copyright 2002 Sprint Communications Company 5 Unbundled Dark Fiber Product Details (Continued) Sprint Remote Site to End-user premises Route Type Description 5) Remote site to an end-user premises located FPP (distribution subloop) The CLEC must have a collocation presence at the end-user premises. A fiber jumper provided through the collocation agreement connects the Sprint FPP to the CLEC FPP. At the remote site (OSP) a fiber cable provided under ICB will connect the Sprint FPP to the CLEC facilities. Note: Sprint also provides Route Types 2, 3, 4 and 5 (above) with Interoffice Transport. 10/02 Version 1 Copyright 2002 Sprint Communications Company 6 Unbundled Dark Fiber Ordering Process UDF must be ordered via a Local Service Request (LSR) or an Access Service Request (ASR), depending on the type of route requested. Refer to Table 1 below to determine which type of order to use. Submission of a UDF firm order indicates that the CLEC agrees to pay the quoted monthly recurring and non-recurring charges. Sprint will provide the UDF route to the CLEC within 20 business days after a firm order is received from CLEC. Sprint will begin invoicing of the monthly recurring and non-recurring charges upon completion of the order. Table 1 – Order Types for Unbundled Dark Fiber Route Type Definition 1) CO to CO (interoffice transport) 2) CO to an end-user premises located FPP (loop) 3) CO to remote (feeder subloop) Dark fiber transport is between two Sprint FPPs in two separate Sprint offices. Dark fiber loop is between a Sprint FPP located in a Sprint CO and a Sprint FPP located at an end-user premises. 4) Remote to remote (distribution subloop) 5) Remote to an enduser premises located FPP (distribution subloop) Dark fiber feeder is between two Sprint FPPs - one located in a Sprint CO and one at a remote location served by that CO. Dark fiber distribution can be between Sprint FPPs at two remote locations, such as digital loop carriers. Dark fiber distribution can be between a Sprint FPP located outside a Sprint CO (e.g., remote site) and a FPP located at end-user premises.

Figure 10 – CLEC Tab Invoicing Elements UDF is provided using loop and interoffice (transport) invoicing elements. Pricing is included in the interconnection agreement or its addenda. No volume or term discount plans are provided. Invoicing Elements may include: • • • • Unbundled Dark Fiber Loop Unbundled Dark Fiber Interoffice Transport Unbundled Dark Fiber Local Feeder (office to remote subloop) Unbundled Dark Fiber Local Distribution (remote to remote or remote to end-user subloop) Other invoice components include non-recurring charges for initial installation, monthly and nonrecurring charges for fiber patch cords, fiber patch panels and end-to-end testing after initial installation. Special construction charges may apply for central office interconnection cabling and fiber patch cords. 10/02 Version 1 Copyright 2002 Sprint Communications Company 12 Unbundled Dark Fiber Requirements CLECs must have UDF language and rates identified in their Master Interconnection and Resale Agreement prior to submitting a Sprint Dark Fiber Application (DFA) and the appropriate application fee. Sprint will provide access to the CLEC for accessible and available UDF facilities. The CLEC is responsible for obtaining and connecting electronic facilities to the UDF. Sprint will not remove, and CLEC will be permitted to use, any regenerating equipment in existing facilities. The CLEC must have an established collocation with an FPP at the end points of the UDF transport facility, at the serving wire center of the UDF loop or at the feeder subloop. No collocation is required at intermediate wire centers where the fiber route passes through that wire center. The CLEC may request UDF prior to collocation build. The CLEC must complete a Sprint DFA in order to determine availability of the requested route. Once verification of availability is obtained, the CLEC has 10 business days to submit a firm order for that route. Once the UDF route is complete, all recurring and non-recurring charges will be applied. Use restrictions applied for leased dark fiber are consistent with those for loop, transport and EELs. Sprint will reserve a minimum of four fibers per sheath and up to a maximum of 12 for testing and maintenance use by Sprint. In addition, Sprint reserves the right to take back fiber to meet Sprint’s carrier of last resort obligations. Refer to the Master Interconnection Agreement for details. The CLEC will be required to submit a DFA prior to submitting a firm order for UDF. Refer to Figure 11 for a sample application. The CLEC initiates the process by submitting an application for UDF with the appropriate application fee to the local account manager. The purpose of the application is to verify that the requested UDF route is available and to provide pricing of the route prior to ordering. Within 20 business days of receipt of the DFA, Sprint will provide the CLEC with an analysis and response regarding route availability and cost details. Refer to Figure 12 for a sample analysis and response. If UDF is available, the CLEC is required to notify Sprint of acceptance or rejection of the price quote. Acceptance must be via a firm order, within 10 business days of receipt of the quote. Sprint will reserve the requested dark fiber for the CLEC during those 10 business days. If, however, the CLEC does not submit a firm order within 10 business days, the fiber reservation expires. Additionally, if the CLEC has not accepted the price quote after 10 business days of receipt, the CLEC must submit another DFA and application fee. 10/02 Version 1 Copyright 2002 Sprint Communications Company 13 Unbundled Dark Fiber Requirements (Continued) Figure 11 – Sample Dark Fiber Application DARK FIBER APPLICATION Customer Provided Information: CLEC Name: ***CLEC Name*** 4 Requested # of Fibers: CLLI A: 11 Character CLLI CLLI Z: 11 Character CLLI OR OR Customer Address 1: Address 2: City: State: Zip: Customer Address 1: Address 2: City: State: Zip: CLEC Remarks: Inquiry is for 4 fibers from CLLI A to CLLI Sprint Provided Information: FSM Name: *Application Number: Date Received: Date Returned to CLEC: State/Territory (See fee below): Requested Fiber Route Available: Reason (If Unavailable): Type of Firm Order Required: (If completed quote results in an order) MO Yes Not Applicable ASR * NOTE: Any firm order (ASR or LSR as specified in the completed application) resulting from this application MUST include the Application Number shown above in the remarks section of the ASR or LSR.

Yes. UDF requires collocation at each Sprint CO or OSP facility where UDF is terminated. Where is UDF available? UDF route availability is determined through the Dark Fiber Application process based on route end points and strand quantities requested. Can UDF be provided where fiber is UDF is provided only where facilities are not accessible? both available and accessible. Any other requested arrangements must be submitted via a BFR. What are other considerations for UDF terminates at a Sprint FPP. Additional UDF? fiber cable and necessary splicing for connecting to the CLEC facilities will be provided as requested under ICB at the remote site. For that reason, an ICB request must be made for connectivity beyond the physical UDF termination. UDF service is priced using distance-sensitive rate elements. These distances are determined using actual footage. For this reason, the actual physical length of the route, not airline mileage, determines UDF prices. What testing is performed? Sprint will provide end-to-end testing for UDF routes during the firm order provisioning process. Sprint does not make any representation as to the transmission capability of these facilities. Who should be contacted if additional The local account manager should be information is needed? contacted for additional information. Copyright 2002 Sprint Communications Company 16
