Both topologies utilize the same mounts, connectors, distribution frames, and other accessories ( such as designation strips, wire guards, covers, distribution rings, and many other accessories ).

Finally, when the new office was complete workers could be found stringing countless strands of wires into a distribution frame, connecting them up with a shining, brand-new central switchboard.

"Split 50 " 66 blocks are still used as network interface blocks in distribution frames to interconnect circuits with bridging clips, but are primarily limited to narrowband circuits such as DS1 circuits.

An automated main distribution frame provides, after an initial installation of all relevant subscriber-and office equipment lines, remote controlled and locally performed connectivity by switching via the switching matrix of an AMDF.
17.
Advantages of automated main distribution frame include reduced switching time, reduced errors in execution and documentation, no truck-roll for each subscriber connection to be established, and reduction of operational expenditures ( OPEX ).

Each simplex cable within the outer jacket may be broken out and then continue as a patch cable, for example in a termination without requiring special junctions, and can reduce or eliminate the need for fiberoptic patch panels or an optical distribution frame.

Openreach manages BT's local access network which connects customers to their local telephone exchange, starting at the main distribution frame ( MDF ) in the exchange and ending at the network termination point ( NTP ) at the end user's premises.
20.
Optical distribution networks can also be designed in a point-to-point " homerun " topology where splitters and / or active networking are all located at the central office, allowing users to be patched into whichever network is required from the optical distribution frame.
