A brief description of each of the above listed items follows. Ordering information is not

Information Outlets

Information outlets are 8-pin modular wall 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

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
room and site location or adapter. Use a male to male cable to connect between the equipment
room and satellite location. Staggered-finger cables are recommended for all multiple 25-pair
station cables and are available in both double-ended and single-ended types.
Single modular plug-ended 4-pair station cable
information outlets that require push-on connections. It can also be used when 4-pair station
cables are field- terminated on the 110-type terminal blocks in the equipment room or satellite
closet and modularly connected to information outlets. The station cables are available in the
