Unbundled Dark FiberPhase 1 Mechanized Ordering Product Overview
Module Objectives Describe the Unbundled Dark Fiber (UDF)Product : • Define UDF • Name four UDF Product Offerings • Cite the Benefit of UDF
UDF Unbundled Dark Fiber (UDF) is a deployed, unlit strand or pair of fiber optic cable that connects two points within Qwest's network.
UDF Product Offering #1 UDF is a single, existing transmission path between two Qwest Wire Centers (UDF-IOF),...
UDF Product Offering #2 ...between a Qwest Wire Center and a CLEC Wire Center (E-UDF),...
UDF Product Offering #3 ...between a Qwest Wire Center and an appropriate outside plant structure or an end user customer premise (UDF-Loop),...
UDF ... within the same LATA and state
UDF Deployed UDF facilities will terminate on a Qwest Fiber Distribution Panel (FDP) or equivalent.
UDF Offering #4 UDF Subloop is a fractional portion of the UDF Loop that is available via a combination of splice points and FDP connections.
UDF Offering Summary • UDF Interoffice Facility (UDF-IOF) • UDF-Loop • UDF Sub-loop • Extended UDF (E-UDF)
Conditions Refer to your Interconnection Agreement or the state specific SGAT to determine availability of E-UDF, if E-UDF is not available UDF-IOF will be offered instead. In states where E-UDF is offered as UDF-IOF, no splicing will be allowed between the Qwest Wire Center and your wire center
Conditions Inquiries for the availability of Unbundled Dark Fiber can be made prior to collocation order. A CLEC may reserve UDF up to 6 months without a collocation.

Benefits of UDF UDF offers you unlimited bandwidth availability. With placement of your electronics your end-users can expand bandwidth from OC3 to OC192 and such higher bandwidths that evolve over time.
Availabilityof UDF UDF is available throughout Qwest's 14-state local service territory when spare fibers are available in the same Local Access Transport Area (LATA). 'Spare' means fibers beyond those that would be normally held back for maintenance(5% of fibers in a sheath) and approved jobs.
