	Assembly Products

	Operations Review \| Pricing Information

	The Assembly Products are offered pursuant to the NY PSC 8 Tariff, and provide for three different arrangements: Assembly Room Assembly Point - Outside the Central Office - Wall Mount Assembly Point - Outside the Central Office - Pad Mount The Assembly Products are provided as alternatives to Physical and Virtual Collocation for the purposes of facilitating a CLEC's ability to combine unbundled loops and line ports. The Assembly Room is located in a secured space within a Verizon central office. Unbundled loops and line ports are combined on a CLEC Common Termination Frame (CTF). The environmental properties normally associated with central office conditioned space are not furnished. The CLEC may not install any transmission equipment within the Assembly Room arrangement. The CLEC may utilize portable test equipment for the purposes of testing unbundled loop(s) and port(s), but may not store this portable test equipment in the Assembly Room. Verizon provides remote access to CLECs through its RETAS system to enable CLECs to perform MLT testing and trouble isolation on CLEC combined loops and ports. The Assembly Room is subject to availability of space and facilities in each central office as requested by the CLEC on a first come, first served basis. Assembly Points will be offered in lieu of the Assembly Room in locations where: Space is limited Space cannot be secured The central office does not have 24 X 7 access without callout Zoning and facility security conditions permit The Assembly Points will not be offered at locations in which Assembly Rooms are provided. These Assembly Points are locked termination enclosures outside central offices. The two types of outside enclosures are: The Wall Mount Assembly Point, which consists of a Termination Splice Box (TSB) which is a secure outdoor-rated cabinet providing termination, access and cross-connect flexibility. This box can be either wall - or post-mounted. The Terminal Pad Mounted Outside Plant Cabinet which is equipped with connectorized cross-connect terminal blocks. A double door access unit consisting of 2700 pair counts is provided. The blocks are enclosed in a lightweight aluminum cabinet for easier handling. These units provide termination, access and cross-connect flexibility.

	Operations Review

	Operationally, the Assembly options permit the recombination of unbundled loops and line ports in the same manner as existing physical collocation. The CLEC submits forecasts of its requirements and based upon these forecasts, the CLEC and Verizon establish the number of terminations required. Verizon places permanent cabling and terminations back to the Verizon central office distributing frame and the CLEC can, at its option, pre-wire its terminations for purposes of connecting to Verizon elements. The Assembly Products support the DS0/voice grade cross-connects necessary for UNE loop and port combinations. The CLEC has assignment control and designates the cable and pair assignments on the circuit order it places with Verizon. Verizon technicians make the required cross-connections in order to connect the unbundled elements to the CLEC terminal block. The CLEC may choose to pre-wire its terminations or it can dispatch a technician for any given order to cross-connect the two sides of the CTF.

	Pricing Information

	The Basic components of the rate structure are as follows: Application and Engineering Fees Application Fee To order services to the Assembly Room or Assembly Point, the CLEC must fill out an Application and submit it, with an application fee, to Verizon in accordance with terms and conditions of NY PSC 8 Tariff. Engineering and Implementation Fee This fee is applied upon completion of each request for an Assembly Product. This fee applies in addition to the Application fee. Service Access Charge (SAC) The SAC provides the physical connection between the CLECs terminal blocks and the Verizon network. It consists of terminal blocks located in the CLEC Common Termination Frame or Assembly Point Cabinets and cabling and terminations on Verizon frames. The SAC for voice grade and DS0 elements terminate on a central office distributing frame (CODF). SAC - CTF Termination (NRC) These costs are based on the installed investment of each terminal block that resides in the CTF. The non-recurring rate element will be applied per (100) DS0/voice grade. This non-recurring SAC charge applies at the time of CLEC arrangement build. SAC (Recurring) There are two components that make up the recurring SAC. The CTF termination portion and the cabling and frame termination portion which consists of the cabling necessary to connect the CTF to Verizon's frame for the purpose of accessing VG/DS0 loops and ports. Application of the SAC at the Assembly Points The cabinets for wall and pad mounted assembly points come pre-installed with the appropriate DS0/VG terminal blocks. The SAC NRC and recurring SAC CTF termination rate are not applicable. The only SAC charge that would apply in these instances would be the recurring charge for SAC Cable and Frame terminations. This rate structure mirrors the way the SAC is applied to POT Bay option 2 for physical collocation under the NY PSC 8 Tariff. Assembly Room Charge This monthly recurring charge assessed is on a per terminal block basis. Assembly Point Charge (Wall mounted) This monthly recurring charge is applied on a per terminal block basis. Assembly Point Charge (Pad mounted) This monthly recurring charge is applied on a per terminal block basis.
