EXT MDF card (VB-44611): Extension MDF Interface Card
The EXT MDF card provides a standard 25-pair connection at the DBS 576 Cabinet.
This interface board installs in one of five possible positions on either side of the
DBS 576 Cabinet and supports up to three extension cards (either DEC/8 or AEC/8).
Since each extension card contains 8 extension ports, the EXT MDF supports a
maximum total of 24 extensions.
A standard 25-pair cable must be run from this interface board to the MDF.
