STATE WIRE CENTER PLANNED COMPLETION OR RETIREMENT DATE DA (s) Job # FDI Address(es) Replacing AZ Phoenix Northwest PHNXAZNW 12-31-2009 414072 9212ZUS 3709 W. Marlette Ave Qwest is replacing two spans of aerial 24 gauge copper feeder cable and two spans of aerial 24 gauge copper distribution cable with 24 gauge direct buried feeder and distribution cable. The cables provide (F1) feeder facilities to SAI 3709 W. Marlette Ave., and (F2) distribution facilities to several serving terminals within the distribution area. The dB loss calculations for the cable sections are: Before After 96' BKMA-400 40' AFMW-900 @ 28 KHz = 0.250 147' ANMW-400 @ 28 KHz = 0.280 Change of +0.03dB loss. 96' BKMA-200 @ 28 KHz = 0.180 163' ANMW-200 @ 28 KHz = 0.300 Change of +0.12dB loss. 10' BKMA-300 40' AFMW-900 @ 28 KHz = 0.090 62' ANMW-300 @ 28 KHz = 0.120 Change of +0.03dB loss. The new (F1) loop will remain at 13.7Kft. to SAI X 3709 W. Marlette Av., and will continue to support all existing types of circuits. CO Denver East DNVRCOEA 10-23-2009 322113 H92A114 8440 E 21 AV REPLACE 556' ANMW-25 WITH 813' ANMW-25 FOR RELOCATION JOB. The dB loss calculations for the individual copper cable section is: Before - 556' ANMW-25 @ 28KHz = 0.910 After - 813' ANMW-25 @ 28KHz = 1.310 This is a change of + 0.400dB. IA Carlisle CRLSIACO 10-30-2009 120002 92C1JBW SAI X 435 MAIN Distribution cable must be relocated due to the land slide on the hill on the south side of Highway 5 on the west edge in the City of Carlisle, Iowa. There is a negitive impact on the following SAI cable count: 435MAIN, 1426-1475 and 1551-1600. Existing 1580' of 24 gauge pic loss @ 28 KHz =2.48 Increased loss=1.26 dB @ 28 KHz IA Vinton VNTNIACO 09-25-2009 341002 92C1KD3 400-18 The dB loss calculation for the individual copper cable section is: Before: After: 900' of AJAA-25 @ 28KHz = .950 970' of ANAW-50 @ 28Khz = 1.03 Change of +0.08dB loss. A section of F1 cable that feeds the SLC at X 400-18 is defective and needs to be replaced. This job section throws a new 50pr 22 gauge cable to relieve defective section along Hwy 218. MN Winona WINOMNWI 09-18-2009 230602 92M22N7 E15-A Winona County is replacing a bridge in the city of Picwick. Qwest currently has cable in conduit on the bridge, the cable has been temped out so the bridge can be demolished & a new one put in its place. When the new one is done, Qwest's cable will be encased in concrete in the deck of the bridge. Bridge #85563 located at CSAH 7 & CSAH 8. The work begins at 69.3kf from the Winona central office or .663kf from the remote terminal. The db loss calculation for the individual copper cable section is as follows: Before: 380'of BHBH-50, 75'of BHBH-50 @28KHz=.260 After: 390'of ANMW-100, 115'of ANMW-50@28KHz=.830a change of +.57db loss. Before: 325'of AFAW-1@28KHz=.350 After: 390'of ANMW-1@28KHz=.640db a change of +.29db loss. MT Victor VCTRMTMA 09-18-2009 120431 120641 H94A004 2630 Meridian Rd, x 15.0 rl1 Qwest is rerouting buried cable in conflict with a highway project. The following are the db calculations for cable sections. 1516' of 24 ga will be replaced with 2179' of 24 ga. The loss is increased by +1.01db. 2576' of 24ga will be replaced with 1766' of 24 ga. The loss is decreased by -2.26db.

The dB loss calculations for the F1/F2 is: Terminal 10828 John Galt Blvd / SAI x4818 S 108 St OLD F2 route of 2.098 KF @ 28 KHz=3.520dB & 1004Hz=0.870dB NEW F2 route of 2.162 KF @ 28 KHz=3.610dB & 1004Hz=0.890dB Change of +0.09dB loss @ 28 KHz & +0.020dB loss @ 1004 KHz. The existing loop 1.758Kf of 24 ga and 0.360Kf of 26 ga is being lengthned by 0.064Kf of 24 ga to a new loop of 1.822Kf of 24 ga and 0.360Kf of 26 ga The working circuits are derived from the RT 1.625 Kf from existing terminal NM Santa Fe Main SNFENMMA 11-20-2009 ALL 9251T37 35.9 Old Las Vegas Hwy Qwest is removing all copper f1 from SAI 35.9 Old Las Vegas HWY and cutting to pair gain from an existing RT located also at 35.9 Old Las Vegas HWY. The existing number of 505-820-6582 ( F! 26GA = 1.408 KF, 24GA = .090 KF, 22GA = 27.346 KF, 19GA = 8.476 KF. F2 24GA = 3.113 KF) will be cut to the RT. This RT does not support LNSHR. The new F1/F2 loop will be 3.413 KF. . OR Springfield SPFDOR01 10-20-2009 312211 91R1Y6Z 86479 Franklin Bv Removal/Retirement of existing copper cable resulting in a complete copper service type withdrawal. Converting from CO based copper feeder cables to pair gain derived pairs (fiber or copper fed systems) resulting in a complete copper service type withdrawal; DSL type services. Service to this area had been provided through an ADAC-600 which can not be restored. Working pairs were thrown through an ADMC-900 which is being targeted by copper thieves. It is clear that both cables must be removed from plant. All services currently fed on copper will now need to be fed with fiber supported equipment.
