Service Offering: Buried Wire
|
|
|
|
Overview
Buried Service Wire (BSW) is defined as a cable installed underground from a telephone terminal to a CLEC's Network Interface Device (NID) that brings dial tone to the premises. Verizon is not responsible for digging the trench and laying the conduit when the CLEC requests BSW. There may be occasions when a CLEC requests Verizon to place BSW before the service is installed. If the CLEC/contractor has provided the trench, Verizon will place the BSW in the trench. It is Verizon's responsibility to place and maintain it. This wire does not belong to the CLEC/end user.
A Network Interface Device (NID) is a point of interconnection between Verizon communication facilities and terminal equipment, protective apparatus or wiring at the CLEC/end user's premises. The NID will be located on the CLEC/end user's side of the Verizon protector or its equivalent at or near point of entry and accessible to both Verizon and the CLEC. Only one (1) NID per dial tone line can be installed in a CLEC/end user's premises. All inside wires, jacks, telephone(s), alarm, meter readings, or other terminal devices must be connected through the NID.
In Verizon West , CLECs can request that the DEMARC or DROP at an end user's location be moved or relocated on the same premises. The DEMARC, DEMARCATION POINT or DROP is the terminal box located where Verizon's facilities (aerial or buried cable) comes into the end user's house or building.
