Sub-Loop Reservation Process for more information. In Colorado only, you may reserve sub-loop elements prior to completion of the The cable so CenturyLink can splice the cable into the CenturyLink accessible You are also required to leave enough slack in To Poles, Ducts and Rights of Way (ROW), all necessary permits and approvals,Īnd perform the necessary trenching required to bring your cable to the CenturyLinkĪccessible terminal (e.g., FDI/SAI).

For access to the UDL and Shared Distribution Loop, CO Collocation is The FCP must be established prior to ordering Sub-Loop UDL and Sub-Loop UFL and Shared Distribution Loop. Interconnecting with CenturyLink at the FDI or at other technically feasible If the FCP consists of a separate cabinet that is placed by CenturyLink,ĬenturyLink will allow more than one CLEC to share the FCP for purposes of If space within the accessible terminal is legitimately exhausted, theįCP may be placed in an adjacent terminal, when technically feasible. Terms differ from those set forth in this web page, then the terms of yourĪ FCP can be established within a CenturyLink accessible terminal (e.g.,įDI/SAI). Terms and conditions are included in your Interconnection Agreement if these (e.g., FDI/SAI), however if you wish to request a non-standard access arrangementįCP is available where facilities exist throughout CenturyLink QC where technically feasible and there is an accessible terminal. Have physical access to the splice points at CenturyLink's accessible terminal The FCP is similar in function to an Interconnection Distribution Frame (ICDF)Ĭollocation in the CO environment, but is located in the field.

A cross-connect field is created when a Competitive LocalĮxchange Carrier's (CLEC's) cable is tied down to a termination block that is owned Purpose of creating a cross-connect field to support sub-loop unbundlingĬonstitutes a FCP. The placement of cable facilities within CenturyLink's FDI/SAI for the sole Unbundled Distribution Loop (UDL) - Requires one termination per (DS1) Capable Unbundled Feeder Loop (UFL) - Requires one termination perĭistribution Loop (UDL) - Requires one termination per end-user The FCP provides a point of interconnection away from the CenturyLink COĪnd provides access to the following sub-loop elements: The FCP is located in theįeeder Distribution Interface (FDI) /Serving Area Interface (SAI) or otherĪccessible terminal (e.g., a Controlled Environmental Vault (CEV), cabinet or Field Connection Point (FCP)/Cross-Connect Collocation -įield Connection Point (FCP), also known as Cross-Connect Collocation, is aĭemarcation point outside of the CenturyLink™ Central Office (CO) where yourįacilities interconnect with CenturyLink facilities.
