FID RULES/CONSTRAINTS:

The element combination chart has been eliminated because of the many possible combinations derived.
The LMU FID will be placed on the next logical line following the last cable pair assignment for each loop on a service order. Only an I (In) action code will be used with this FID. The information following the LMU FID will be a concatenated string of the loop segment (i.e. F1,F2,F3,..Fn) make-ups for the entire loop.
Colon separates one element from the next. It occurs after elements 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14.
Double Colon is used to indicate the end of a bridge tap or buildout and to revert back to the previous cable description.
No separator is used between elements 2&3, 4&5, 6&7, 9&10, 11&12 and between 3&13 when the Load Coil Indicator is concatenated with the Cable Length Indicator element.
Asterisk is used in the character string after the LMU FID as a place holder for a nominal spacing rule for loaded cable. Also appears before the action code associated with the FID to identify a correction from a previous issue of the service order.
Period is used to specify hundredths of a unit length (i.e. feet, kilofeet, miles).
This FID is entered in the Outside Plant Facilities Subset.
T and X order types prohibited for Access Service application.

Optional	Alphanumeric	2	11	No	No

Symbols:

Asterisk

Reference:

See BR 756-554-744

Element Rules:

The Cable Description element is comprised of three sub-elements: Cable Designation, Load Coil Spacing and Load Coil Type. The code set values are a combination of cable designations from BR-756-554-744. Only the codes *, NL, BT will be used to populate the sub-element "Load Coil Spacing", and only the code '*' will have a Load Coil Type sub-element following it. The sub- element "Cable Designation" is required except when the code value for the "Load Coil Spacing" sub-element is 'BT'. In this case, the sub-element "Cable Designation" is optional. Sub-elements "Load Coil Spacing" and "Lo

The first Cable Description element must contain the code values of either 'NL' or '*' for its sub- element "Load Coil Spacing". Subsequent Cable Description elements denote either a gauge change in the cable or the existence of a bridge tap, and can occur anywhere in the LMU string.

Element: 2

Cable Length

Appearance	Mode	Min	Max	Series	Range
Optional	Numeric	1	9	No	No

Data Parameters:

1-999999999

Symbols:

Period

Element Rules:

Any number of Cable Length elements can follow a Cable Description element or its associated cable temperature and Cable Capacitance elements, when they exist. A Cable Description element however, can be separated from one of its associated Cable Length elements by a Buildout Capacitor element, and its Capacitance Indicator, a Buildout Resistance element, and its Resistance Indicator or a bridge tap Cable Length element and its Cable Length Indicator.

Element: 3

Optional	Alphabetic	2	2	No	No

Code Set:

Code	Meaning
KF	Kilofeet
FT	Feet

Element Rules:

The Cable Length Indicator is required when the Cable Length element is used. A Cable Length element may also be concatenated with a Load Coil Indicator 'L' in a loaded cable.

Element: 4

Cable Temperature

Appearance	Mode	Min	Max	Series	Range
Optional	Numeric	1	5	No	No

Data Parameters:

1-99999

Element Rules:

The Cable Temperature element is optional but, when it exists, it is the first element after the Cable Description element.

Element: 5

Temperature Degree Indicator

Element: 6

Cable Capacitance

Appearance	Mode	Min	Max	Series	Range
Optional	Numeric	1	5	No	No

Data Parameters:

1-99999

Element Rules:

The Cable Capacitance element is optional but, when it exists, it is the first element after the Temperature Degree Indicator if the Cable Temperature element exists, otherwise it occurs as the next element after the Cable Description element.

Element: 7

Capacitance per Mile Indicator

Appearance	Mode	Min	Max	Series	Range
Optional	Alphabetic	4	4	No	No

Code Set:

Code	Meaning
UFMI	Microfarads per Mile

Element Rules:

The Capacitance per Mile Indicator is required when the Cable Capacitance element is used.

Element: 8

Buildout Indicator

Appearance	Mode	Min	Max	Series	Range
Optional	Alphabetic	8	8	No	No

Code Set:

Code	Meaning
BUILDOUT

Element Rules:

When the Buildout Indicator element is used (code set value is 'BUILDOUT') a Buildout Capacitor element is required; the Buildout Resistance element is optional. The Buildout Indicator element can occur anywhere in the LMU string after the first Cable Description element and its associated Cable Temperature and Capacitance elements when they exist.

Element: 9

Buildout Capacitor

Appearance	Mode	Min	Max	Series	Range
Optional	Numeric	1	5	No	No

Data Parameters:

1-99999

Element Rules:

The Buildout Capacitor element is required with a Buildout Indicator element and occurs immediately after it. If the Buildout Capacitor element is not followed by a Buildout Resistance element, a double colon separates it from the next element in the LMU string.

Element: 10

Capacitance Indicator

Optional	Numeric	1	5	No	No

Data Parameters:

1-99999

Element Rules:

The Buildout Resistance element is optional with a Buildout Indicator element, but when it exists it occurs immediately after the Buildout Capacitor element and its Capacitance Indicator. A double colon separates it from the next element in the LMU string.

Element: 12
