Closets

Closets are intermediate points between the Main Distribution Field and the endpoint. They are used to distribute wiring to multiple destinations via cross-connect equipment.

There are two different types of closet configurations. Satellite closets are usually distribution points for multiple site closets. However, information outlets may be wired directly to a satellite closet. Site closets are the last cross-connection point before the end user information outlet. Satellite and site closets may be used to apply bulk station power to information outlets.

Satellite locations

Satellite locations are closets that provide an administration point (using cross-connect equipment) for station cables and where adjunct power may be applied. The station cable circuits from the equipment room MDF are 3-pair. At the satellite location, 4-pair circuits run to the information outlets. The hardware used is 110-type terminal blocks.
