This chapter details how to connect VDSL wiring to MDFs based on your existing telephone wiring
infrastructure.

You can also attach RJ-11 connectors to the Telco cable and connect directly to a P841 VDSL
modem(s) or patch panel. This chapter discusses connections using MDFs.
3.2 Telco Cables
Telco cables are used for data and voice applications with MDFs (Main Distribution Frame), patch panels and
distribution boxes. They can also be used as extension cables. Telco cables are typically made up of 25 or 50
twisted-pair copper cables.
Connect a Telco connector to one end of the cable (see Appendix B ) and connect the other end directly to an MDF;
alternatively attach RJ-11 connectors and connect directly to VDSL modem(s).
