Main Exchanges
Artitecture
The MDF is the connection point system inside the building, where the cables or
lines to/from the district telephone exchange terminate on the line side, and cross-
connections (jumpers) run to the opposite (exchange) side of the MDF, and from
those terminals a multi-core cable runs from a second set of terminals to the
actual PABX exchange in the particular building.

A multi-core cable runs from the PABX to each DF which are commonly located in
areas, for example in 2-floor business premises, there would normally be a DF on
each floor.

From the DF, the smaller cables run to each individual extension telephone outlet
socket.

The reason for using these frames, with Numbered/lettered cable terminals on
both sides, interlinked by removable or alterable wiring connections called
"jumpers", is that if a particular telephone extension needs to be moved, for a
change of desk or office, it is easy to just remove and alter the cross connections
(jumpers) at the DF or MDF.
