Network Change:
In the Cartersville Exchange (CRVLGAMA / R3401) fiber feeder and DLC will be placed and existing
services will be cut from the copper facilities feeding from the Central Office to the new fiber fed DLC
facilities. This will be done due to a DOT project to clear the construction limits for the widening of Joe
Frank Harris Pkwy (State Route 3) on Georgia Department of Transportation project PI #: 0001574.
Description of Type of Changes Planned:
This project will place approximately 3.7 KF of fiber optic cable from the existing slack loop at the
intersection of Joe Frank Harris Pkwy and Massell Dr to the new easement at F 1168 Joe Frank Harris
Pkwy. The fiber cable will be sized per CLR Section 1.10.3. Place a MESA-2 cabinet and a 2700 pair Xbox, in addition to the fiber optic cable. Turn up the multiplexer and metallic DISCS systems and
terminate the new NPG pairs in the 2700 pair X-box. Place approximately 0.375 KF of copper cable
ranging in size from 900 to 600 pairs and cut the X-box serving area for P 3.1 Joe Frank Harris Pkwy to
the new X-box at F 1168 Joe Frank Harris Pkwy. Place approximately 1.4 KF of fiber optic cable from
the existing slack loop at the intersection of Grassdale Rd and Thornwood Dr to the easement at 100
Thornwood Dr. The fiber cable will be sized per CLR Section 1.10.3. Place a MESA-2 cabinet in
addition to the fiber optic cable. Turn up the multiplexer and metallic DISCS system. Place
approximately 0.7 KF of 600 pair copper cable from the new MESA-2 cabinet to the intersection of
Thornwood Dr and Grassdale Rd and throw the underground copper feeding the 8 Magnolia Dr X-box.
Back feed NPG pairs through the sheath vacated by the previous throw then throw the underground
copper feeding the R 1364 Joe Frank Harris Pkwy X-box. A detailed cost analysis determined it was
more cost effective to place fiber and DLC then perform the cutovers to replace the copper cables like for
like outside of the road widening construction limits.
Description of Reasonably Foreseeable Impact of the Planned Changes:
After this work is completed, metallic facilities from the Central Office to the effected area will no longer
be available. Unbundled loops that are defined as compatible with Digital Loop Carrier (DLC), e.g., those
defined to transport POTS-grade service, will be transferred to the new DLC system. Competitive carrier
employing unbundled loops that are defined to require metallic facilities, e.g., Digital Subscriber Line
(DSL) or line sharing circuits will be notified individually. At the time of this submittal, there are no circuits
impacted in the geography affected by this notification. This notification is intended to allow the effective
carrier to convert the circuit to one compatible with DLC. It should be noted that if a competitive carrier
obtains an unbundled loop that has been defined to transport POTS-grade service, but then utilizes the
POTS-grade to provide DSL service, AT&T has no knowledge of the presence of DSL. In such case,
AT&T has no basis to notify the carrier and there will be no means to continue DSL service.
