Chapter 5: MDF connections to stations and the public switched telephone network

Once the main distribution frame (MDF) is completed and the media gateways are connected to the MDF, you must connect the MDF to stations (telephones) and the public switched telephone network (PSTN). You must also have a provision plan at this time. For more information, see Completing a provisioning plan on page 52.

Station (telephone) wiring design

Station wiring from the MDF to information outlets are provided by various means. First, station cables are used to connect the MDF to satellite closets. Then station cables are used to branch out to site closet locations that are located physically close to information outlets.

Information outlets may be wired directly to the MDF, a satellite closet, or site closet. The following hardware and cabling is used:

●Information outlets on page 41 (modular jacks)

●Station cables on page 42

●Closets on page 43

●Station circuit distribution from equipment room on page 44

●Connected cable station adapters on page 50

Information outlets

Information outlets are 8-pin modular jacks. Most of the outlets are wired with push-on connections. Information outlets are also available that connect to a double modular plug-ended 4-pair station cable routed from the MDF, a site/satellite location, or an adapter.
