1. from furthest HFC I -Net Site to furthest HFC I -Net Site related to the performance of interactive video and data -over -cable communications; and 2. from the furthest HFC I -Net Site to the longest subscriber cascade. All testing performed hereunder shall use carriers that are representative of those on the I -Net. If this subjects the I -Net to service interruptions, the Grantee shall work with I -Net Users to minimize the impact of such interruptions. Testing shall be completed at the mutually agreed upon entry demarcation point at the HFC I - Net Site. The I -Net shall meet all the standards set forth herein under full loading and any combination of analog video, audio, and digital channels. II. Dark Fiber Optic Infrastructure (DFOI) Optical Cabling Characteristics — Maximum loss shall not exceed manufacturer's passive attenuation, adjusted for cable length, splice loss and connector loss. Typical cable attenuation at 1550 nm shall be less than or equal to .25 dB per kilometer. Typical cable attenuation at 1310 nm shall be less than or equal to .35 dB per kilometer. Typical splice loss shall be less than or equal to .2 dB. Maximum connector pair loss shall be less than or equal to .75 dB. Where the loss characteristics of any link exceed the typical parameters described herein, and Dark Fiber Infrastructure Users and any Additional DFOI Users cannot successfully transmit video, voice and data communications across the DFOI link using equipment consistent with accepted industry standards, then the Grantee shall make necessary adjustments in the DFOI link such that it will enable successful operation for the Dark Fiber Infrastructure User and/or Additional DFOI User. III. Network Availability A. I -Net and DFOI network availability shall be equal to or better than 99.965%, as measured on an annual basis for the entire I -Net and for the DFOI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, once any individual site falls below a network availability of 99.9% (no more than 530 minutes of network downtime per site), the Grantee shall take immediate action to determine whether an inherent or chronic system problem is affecting that site. If such a problem is identified, the Grantee shall work continuously to resolve the problem, so that such site achieves the best -case network availability as measured for any other I -Net or DFOI site. B. The I -Net and the DFOI shall be defined as "unavailable" under the standards herein when a user: 1. cannot, because of a Grantee network component problem, transmit video, voice and/or data communications to, from and/or on the network; and/or B-2
