Assembling and Cabling the Main Distribution Frame
The Main Distribution Frame (MDF) is the location where the Mitel 5000 platform and digital
expansion equipment is connected to station instruments, trunks, and auxiliary system
equipment. Solid copper wire connections are made across industry-standard terminal blocks
[Krone blocks in Europe] and/or modular jack [line jack unit] assemblies. Solid connections
between system elements are made only with an appropriate gauge of solid copper wire—never
stranded speaker wire.
With a European system each module is normally supplied with cables 2 m in length, although 4
m cables are available by special order. These cables are supplied with the appropriate number
of Krone blocks for the module type.
To simplify the MDF installation instructions, this manual outlines basic one block-to-one module
installation using bridging clips. However, it is acceptable, and in some cases more functional,
to use additional blocks, then cross-connect from one block to another.
