232860v1 <br />36 <br />EXHIBIT C <br />DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM <br />1.The Cable System shall be designed, constructed, routinely inspected, and maintained <br />to guarantee that the Cable System meets or exceeds the requirements of the most current <br />editions of the National Electrical Code (NFRA 70) and the National Electrical Safety Code <br />(ANSI C2). In all matters requiring interpretation of either of these codes, the City's <br />interpretation shall control over all other sources and interpretations. <br />2.General Requirements. Grantee shall use equipment used in high-quality, <br />reliable, modern Cable Systems of similar design. <br />3.General Description. The Cable System shall provide Subscribers with a technically <br />advanced and reliable Cable System. The System shall have at least 750 MHz of bandwidth <br />capacity, capable of delivering approximately 80 digital channels of programming. The <br />System will be two-way active, and it will be designed to have capability to transmit return <br />signals upstream in the 5-40 MHz spectrum. The design will provide the benefits of proven <br />80-channel electronics while positioning the System for expansion of bandwidth and channel <br />capacity as technology and future services develop. <br />4.Design. The design ofthe System shall be based upon a"Fiber to the Node" <br />architecture that will deliver the signals by fiber optics directly to each neighborhood. <br />Grantee's initial design includes a minimum of six (6)fibers to each Node site having a <br />neighborhood group average of approximately three hundred (300) homes. If Grantee splits <br />Nodes into smaller sizes,fewer fibers will extend to such smaller Nodes.There shall be no <br />more than seven (7)active amplifiers in a cascade from each Node to the residential <br />dwelling.The incorporation of stand- by power supplies,strategically placed throughout <br />the system including all hubs,will further reduce the likelihood of Service Interruptions. <br />5.Technical Standards. The System shall meet or exceed FCC requirements. <br />101
