Tadiran Telecom Emerald ICE Installation Manual page 58

MDF (Main Distribution Frame)
The various ports of the Emerald ICE are extended to the MDF using industry
standard 4, 12, and 25 pair UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable. Inside the KSU
pairs are terminated using screw terminal posts, modular ended crimping
connectors and AMP‐type Male gender connectors. These cables are then routed
out of the KSU to the 66M1‐50 blocks for termination and jumper‐wiring there.
The installer has choices when completing these connections and it is left to the
installer's discretion to use the most suitable industry standard wiring practice for
the particular installation. In the examples of this manual, standard 66M1‐50
connectors are used. The following example illustrates a two‐cabinet installation
with the KSUs mounted vertically and side by side.
MDF cables are routed out of the KSU through the opening in the corner of the
KSU housing. A cable restraint clamp is provided and may be used to secure
cables at that point.
