Explanation

The Main Distribution Frame (MDF) is the central point where inside plant wiring meets outside plant cabling from the carrier (ISP or telco). It serves as the demarcation and aggregation point for all building cabling. An IDF (Intermediate Distribution Frame) connects to the MDF and distributes cabling to specific floors or areas within a building. A 66 block is a punchdown block used for telephone wiring, and a patch panel organizes and connects internal network cabling - neither handles the carrier-to-building boundary.
