Once the 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 refer to

Station (Telephone) Wiring Design

Station wiring from the Main Distribution Frame 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 150
''Station Cables'' on page 150
•
• ''Closets'' on page 152
''Station Circuit Distribution from Equipment Room'' on page 153
•
• ''Connected cable station adapters'' on page 158

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.

Station Cables

For clarity a station cable is either a 25-pair cable, multiple 25-pair cable, or 4-pair D-inside
wire (DIW) run from the equipment room, site/satellite location, or adapter to the information
outlets. The following station cables are available. See
Cables'' on page
25-pair station cable
adapters. Use an A25D cable (male to male) between the equipment room and satellite closet.
Use a B25A cable between the equipment room and site closet or adapter.
Multiple 25-pair station cable
or adapters. This cable consists of individually sheathed 25-pair cables with a factory-installed
25-pair connector on each end. Use a male-to-female cable to connect between the equipment
