What exactly is an MDF?…….and what’s this weird name Jumpering all about?

Mdf frame

An MDF (or Main Distribution Frame) is the connection point or box that all incoming phone and internet lines from the street connect to, this is the point where your telephone, internet line and or number they have been allocated are connected.

The other side of the MDF is generally called the B side, but there could be many more verticals named either with letters, numbers, or a combination of both, it’s just a way to instruct others where all wiring from the individual homes, apartment or office in the unit/ building complex are connected to.

After your service provider has connected to the “A side” of the MDF they will usually tag the line to identify it for the technician who will connect it to your line on the “B side” of the MDF.

This process is called jumpering.
A jumper wire is run between the service providers “A side” connection point that brings your number into the building and the “B side” that is connected to your unit.
