Abstract

The main distributing frame (MDF) is one of the most important constituents in optical access networks.1 Cross connection of the selected subscriber lines with the desired officeequipment lines and termination of lines on both sides is an indispensable function of optical MDFs, because in access networks subscriber lines and office-equipment lines are installed independently. Another important function of an optical MDF is to provide connection routes for subscriber-line testing using an optical time-domain reflectometry,2 because all subscriber lines go out through the MDF.
