Among the leading suppliers of MDF Products

Corning Incorporated is a diversified technology company with a proud history of developing breakthrough
innovations that significantly improve people’s lives. We have been changing the world through innovations
for more than 150 years, integrating scientific discovery with market need. We focus on high-impact growth
opportunities in the telecommunications, flat panel display, environmental, life sciences and semiconductor
industries.
As early as 1974, when fiber optic technology was

still in its initial stage, Corning was one of the original
pioneers, with expertise second to none.
We were working with Europe’s leading Public

Telecommunications companies in developing trial
fiber optic cable routes. In 1977 came the first fiber
optic route for Deutsche Telekom in Berlin. This
was followed in 1979 by further projects in the USA,
marking the start of a global business with a string
of major commercial contracts.
In 2000 Corning grouped all its cable, hardware and

equipment businesses into Corning Cable Systems
division. Corning Cable Systems now comprises
MDF Frame in a Central Office
the former Siecor Corporation, the communication
cables business from BICC (Corning Cables Ltd.),
Siemens´ former Communication Cables division
and RXS Kabelgarnituren.
In the area of copper cabling, the mature Series

71 came out in 1971 as an MDF product with IDC
technology, followed by a set of most successful
products like in Series 5000 and Series 1000RT.
Today Corning Cable Systems disposes of more
than 35 years of rich experience in successful
copper IDC technology.

Technical Principles
IDC Insulation Displacement Connection

Soldering methods were replaced by connection techniques via cutting
insulation some decades ago. By this change time-consuming soldering,
screwing or filling procedures have been eliminated. With this technology,
the wire is inserted in the IDC clamp (Insulation Displacement Connection)
by hand and pressed into it by using a simple termination / punch-down
tool. The wire insulation is stripped during the termination process in the
IDC contact where the connection is made. DIN IEC 352 describes the
requirements for this soldering-, screw- and stripping-free connection in
detail.
Interruption-free changeover
High end MDF Distribution Blocks like Corning MDF Series 5000 are fitted with double IDC contacts allowing
interruption-free changeover jumpering e.g. during system swaps in the Central Office.
Corning high density MDF Series 1000RT has been designed for density, cost efficiency and flexibility. In
order to provide for all these aspects of added value in cabinet and central office application Corning MDF
Series 1000RT IDC strips come with high density single IDC contacts.
Interruption-free changeover jumpering e.g. of special security or performance relevant lines is supported
by easy-to-use optional accessories. Changeover plugs allow to add IDC based connectivity just during
jumpering works and thus do support avoidance of service interrupts wherever those are not allowable.
By temporarily using / applying the changeover plug only when and where it is really needed, Corning MDF
Series 1000RT can provide for extraordinary benefits especially appreciated in all space restricted applications
requiring superb cost efficiency.
Architecture of Series 1000RT IDC Strips

Corning MDF Series 1000RT has been designed for flexibility, density and cost efficiency.
The core element (functional element) of MDF Series 1000RT IDC strips are available with 8-pairs or 10-
pairs structure. Functional elements have high quality, field proven IDC contacts on the front side and internal
contacts for disconnection line protection and test access. Depending on the application there are func-
tional elements with closed internal contacts (disconnection element) or open contacts (switching element for
forced protection).
All functional elements have the same size and can flexibly be combined with wire guides userfriendly sup-
porting well structured cable and jumper connection from left or right hand side of the functional element or
from the rear respectively (for cable connection).
Fully assembled IDC strips (combination of functional element and wire guides) can be mount on a large
variety of metal structures supporting as well full blown MDF terminal blocks as MDF installations in cabinets,
Private Network applications (e.g. 19”), wall-mount distribution boxes or even MDF integrated in mechanical
closures.
8 For DDF applications Corning offers a special functional element with 4 x abs (Tip, Ring, and screen) to set
up Class D links. Again this functional element can flexibly be combined with wire guides to set up Class D
links best supporting high data rate applications in space restricted environments.
Architecture of Series 1000RT Cabinet Solutions

Telecommunication networks around the world have to be adapted to increasing technical challenges caused
by an increased demand for communication. Both voice communication, and especially data communication
require highest levels of availability, quality, and reliability of infrastructure and systems.
Copper pairs based broadband services do not allow long distances to the end customer so that the installation
of active equipment in cabinets may become mandatory depending on circumstances specific to a public
network installed.
Remotely installed Digital Line Units (DLU) and Optical Network Units (ONU) support remotely installed Line
Cards and thus move powerful and flexibly adaptable access techniques in the proximity of the customer.
Corning advantageously supports the setup of MDF solutions on the cabinet level with the highly flexible MDF
Series 1000RT products well prepared to make the most out of typically restricted cabinet space.
Setup of cabinets can be further optimized by using preassembled and preconnectorized MDF Series 1000RT
products.

Optical Network Unit (ONU)

Architecture of Series 1000RT Distribution Blocks

The structure of the digital line cards (8, 16, 24, etc. subscribers per line card) is the reason that distribution
blocks intended to connect the active equipment also have a binary structure, e.g. a 4-pair functional
element in the case of the Series 71 or an 8-pair functional element in the Series 1000RT or Series 5000.
The subscribers are generally connected via cables organized in groups of five. Accordingly, the distribution
blocks also have a “n x 5”- structure, e.g. a 5-pair functional element for the Series 71 or a 10-pair functional
element in the Series 1000RT or Series 5000.
The number of system or subscriber lines to be connected per distribution block depends mainly on the pair
count of the cables used. Most of the subscribers in the central office are therefore connected to the relevant
distribution blocks using 100- or 200-wire pair cables. The same applies to the system side, where 128-wire
pair cables are used.
The above described systematics is best supported by the 8- and 10-pair structured distribution blocks of
the Series 1000RT with 100, 128, 200, 384 or 512 wire pairs. As described on page 13, a distribution block
basically consists of a metal chassis with jumper combs, functional elements and wire guides. The wire guides
ensure that the wires are clearly organized in the distribution block. Each wire pair is led to the relevant IDC
contacts through the wire guides and thus help to keep movements on the wires away from the IDC area in
order to maintain long-term reliability of IDC connections.
The importance of having good wire and cable organization increases with the number of users to be
connected. The jumper comb of the distribution blocks and the jumpering loops of the distribution frames are
therefore just as important to good cable organization as the wire guides.

Main Distribution Frame

Options for Applications
Main distribution frames are used wherever a large number of subscribers needs to be connected with the
switching system, for example in networks of telecommunication providers or in large buildings such as
banks, insurance companies and worldwide headquarters.
Jumpering
The main distribution frame (MDF) is the interface
between the subscriber cables coming in from
all directions from either outside plant or building
internal cablings in private network applications and
active line cards. The subscriber cables and the
system cables are all led and connected to the main
distribution frame. The connection between both
cable sides is implemented by jumpering.
In addition to connecting and organizing all

cables, the main distribution frame also supports
provisioning of protection against overvoltage and
overcurrent for service technicians and the acitive
equipment. Subscriber and system cables can MDF Frame
be both checked and disconnected in the main
distribution frame.
xDSL splitters for data transmission can be installed

as well.
All underground subscriber cables are connected to

specific distribution components (line or subscriber
block) in the main distribution frame. Not every
subscriber wire pair is necessarily connected to
a subscriber. By the same token spare pairs in
subscriber cables do not need to be connected to
the switching system. Additional subscriber wire
pairs are only connected to the active ports of line
cards if required.

Distribution Frame Variants

Main distribution frames can be arranged vertically or vertically / horizontally and are available as wall-mount
or free-standing variants.
The choice of the distribution frames depends on the location as well as on the number of subscribers that
have to be connected. Corning Cable Systems recommends that merely vertical distributors should be used
for less than 5,000 - 10,000 subscribers. If the number of subscribers is higher, the need for cross jumpering
increases. We therefore recommend using a vertical / horizontal distribution frame which best supports long
way cross jumpering between the horizontal distribution blocks. By comparing the option for cross jumpering
of both MDF types, the difference becomes obvious: in a distribution frame with 13 horizontals there are 12
cross jumpering options, whereas hardly any vertical distribution frame offers a third cross-jumpering area in
addition to top and bottom area of MDF frame.

Overvoltage Protection
Overvoltage & Overcurrent Protection
Damage caused by overvoltage / overcurrent is one of the most common causes of malfunctions in
communication devices. Overvoltage / overcurrent can damage individual line cards or even result in the
failure of entire central offices. Without sufficient protection, telecommunication equipment is exposed to a
potentially costly and dangerous threat. Damage can be caused by lightning, electrostatic or electromagnetic
interference or by power lines coming into contact with communication lines.
Primary protection against such damage consists in inserting protection magazines into the
distribution components and in grounding the system in accordance with the relevant requirements.
Corning Cable Systems offer primary protection magazines and plugs for standard voice applications as well
as for ADSL2+ and VDSL2 applications.
In the context of telecommunications, a distinction is made between the following types of protection:
Overvoltage Protection (3-Point-Protection)

The overvoltage protection magazines / plugs are fitted with 3-
electrode arresters (see on page 22 et sqq.). In case of overvoltage,
an arc is generated in the arrester which discharges the energy
towards ground potential. The arc is broken when the voltage falls
below the relevant voltage level. This reversible procedure can be
repeated a number of times if necessary.
10-pair Protection Magazine
Overvoltage / Overcurrent Protection (5-Point-Protection)

The overvoltage / overcurrent protection magazines are fitted with
3-electrode arresters and PTCs (Positive Temperature Coefficient
Resistors) (see on page 22 et sqq.). When the nominal current of
the PTC is exceeded, the component heats up and the resistance
increases exponentially. The PTC therefore limits the current. The
PTC cools down in accordance with the load and thus reestablish
normal operation of the telephone line. This reversible procedure
can also be repeated a number of times if necessary.
14 1-pair Protection Plug

IDC Strips Series 1000RT
All Series 1000RT IDC Strips have a pitch of 13.8 mm incl. wire guides and thus do offer highest density. De-
pending on the application there are IDC strips with closed internal contacts which are called disconnection
elements which do offer the possibility to disconnect or to protect the circuit by inserting disconnection or
protection plugs respectively. Disconnecting elements have a white colour front part.
A different type of IDC strip has open contacts and is called switching element. A circuit is open unless a
protection plug is installed (forced protection). Switching elements can be distinguished from disconnection
elements by their blue colour front part.
Due to the diversified wire guide configuration and the different types of IDC strips customers can easily cho-
se the functional element which gives best support to their applications. Possible wire guide configurations
of IDC strips are:
- Cable wires can be guided from the left, right or rear side through wire guide channels to the upper
row of IDC contacts (cable side).
- Jumper wires can be guided from left or right side through wire guide channels to the lower row of
IDC contacts (jumper side).
Following examples explain the use of the different wire guide and functional element configurations of IDC
strips:
10-pair disconnection element (white colour) for
standard MDF application and standard wire gui-
de configuration:
Cable side (top): left
Jumper side (bottom): right
10-pair disconnection element
10-pair switching element (blue colour) for appli-

cations requiring forced protection support (line
can operate only if protection plug is installed) with
standard MDF wire guide configuration:
10-pair switching element
4-pair shielded (tip, ring, shield) disconnection ele-

ment for DDF applications with wire guide confi-
guration:
The bigger wire guide channels do allow for guiding

shielded jumper wires to the IDC contacts. 15

Protection Solutions Series 1000RT
Application
Communications equipment and systems for voice and data transmission can be severely damaged or
even destroyed by overvoltages and the resulting current surges or by overcurrents. Protection modules
offer optimum primary protection in such cases. The surge arresters limit overvoltages quickly and safely to
uncritical levels and reliably discharge the resulting dangerous currents. Optional PTCs limit overcurrents by
increasing their resistance and thus blocking the current effectively.

The 8- and 10-pair protection magazines are plugged in from the front side of the distribution block or IDC
strip. The grounding bars on both sides of a magazine ensure a proper ground connection in order to dischar-
ge currents to ground potential provided by the metal chassis connected to the MDF frame.

The single line protection plug is mainly used in combination with IDC strips of type switching element when
installation of protection needs to be enforced. Circuits can be individually closed by the installation of this
single-pair plug for the relevant customer pair.
Before the single-pair plug can be plugged in, a grounding bar has to be installed onto the IDC strip. Like for

DDF Solutions Series 1000RT
Application
In general DDF (DDF = digital distribution frame) blocks are applied for the transmission of voice and data
signals for high data rate applications like mobile telephone networks, xDSL services, data networks etc.
They are used in local (MDF) or digital (DDF) central offices, mobile base stations, co-location MDFs, MDF
containers and remote cabinets.
Traditionally carriers around the world tended to use wire wrap technology on their DDF e.g. to set up 2 Mbit/s
lines. Disadvantages and bottlenecks of wire-wrap technology are known for long. Amongst these are higher
capital and operational expenditures cost e.g. due to the fact that stripping the cable is required before the
copper wire can be wrapped on a wire wrap pin by using a special pistol tool.
Corning IDC based DDF blocks provide carriers with a more cost efficient DDF product approach based
on field proven IDC technology and, in terms of the Corning DS2-Module, on a connector user-friendly
supporting pre-connectorized jumper installation.
IDC based DDF blocks offer the following benefits over wire wrap based DDF blocks:
• gas-tight contact (essential for long term reliability)

• short installation time
• user friendliness
• large set of accessories available
The DDF blocks of Series 1000RT are based on shielded IDC strips to support the termination of shielded
jumper cable.
The use of shielded jumper cable is recommended for digital distribution frame blocks for high data rate
applications in order to prevent bit errors which are caused by near end crosstalk (NEXT) on adjacent jumper
wires or by external interference fields. The shielding effect of shielded jumper cable is only reliable if the
shield wire of the jumper cable is connected efficiently to an operative ground, so that induced currents can
flow to ground properly. Is the ground connection of the shield contact renounced, feedback couplings of the
shield of the shielded cable can potentially have negative impact on the transmission performance.
33
DDF block DS2-Module

4-port abs blocks with forced grounding

The Series 1000RT shielded DDF block offer the possibility to connect shielded jumper cable. For each
shielded wire of the jumper cable a separate IDC contact is reserved which is connected to the frame ground
of the DDF (forced grounding). The shield contact is located between the ports: tip1, ring1, shield, tip2, ring2,
shield etc. to provide optimum protection against mutual influences (NEXT) as well as external effects on the
jumper side. Each shielded IDC strip of the DDF block comprises 4 ports.

DS2-Module
Besides cost efficiency over wire-wrap solutions provided by the IDC based DDF module offered by Corning
our customers looked for speeding up system swaps on DDF.
For this purpose Corning developed a jumper cable plug which allows pre-connectorizing shielded jumper
cables first and connecting these to the IDC strip much faster at a later point in time. This approach reduces
significantly off-times during system swaps as requested by majority of business customers.
The jumper cable plug is field-installable by inserting the wires into the plug’s channels and clenching the
plug so that the wires hold firmly their position. The plug is then to be inserted into the desired IDC contact
on the IDC strip.
The DS2-Module is easily mountable on the frames where the old wire-wrap modules exist. The replacement
of old modules against new ones provides the customer with convenient and quick connectorization possibi-
lity without using sophisticated tools like wire-wrap pistols.
Corning is offering support in customizing mounting rails according to customer’s demands. The design of
mounting rails can be frame specific.

xDSL Splitter Solutions
Introduction
xDSL technology for today and tomorrow (ADSL, ADSL2+, VDSL, VDSL2, SHDSL, etc.) allows for data
communication (broadband service) over existing telephone lines (local loop) mostly in addition to (i.e. in
parallel with) voice service.
Private customers around the world enjoy ADSL2+/VDSL2 based broadband services like internet, video on
demand, or voice communication. At the same time carriers take advantage of DSL services to significantly
reduce the risk of blocking effects in voice switches resulting from long lasting internet sessions based on
dial in modems.
Setting up one of the above mentioned xDSL systems needs the installation of active and passive components
on both ends of the local loop (central office [CO] and customer premises [CPE]):
• Modems (DSLAMs) in central offices or in remote cabinets and modems on the customer side
(CPE modems) use frequencies higher than those used for voice communication to establish
a high speed data communication.
• Splitters on both sides of the local loop make sure that the frequency range used for the voice
communication (POTS or ISDN) is not affected by the DSL communication and vice versa.
Corning Cable Systems belongs to the leading suppliers of splitter solutions, both for splitters connected to
DSLAMs (either CO or remote cabinet) and for splitters connected to the modem at customer premises.

Splitter Solutions for Central Office and Remote Cabinet

When Corning Cable Systems decided to combine IDC contact based terminals like MDF blocks and line
strips with xDSL splitters, the objective was to make the setup of ADSL and VDSL systems easier and more
cost effective for our customers. MDF integrated splitters for DSL systems invented by Corning Cable Sy-
stems affect economy of material, space and installation time (time to market). Additional benefits arise for
incumbent carriers in deregulated environments as xDSL blocks allow control of the important voice service
even though ISPs (Internet Service Provider) may collocate for data service provisioning.
Corning Cable Systems xDSL blocks (MDF integrated DSL splitters) provide for simplified and more econo-
mical setup of DSL system by these features:
1. Just ONE additional MDF block with integrated splitters needed instead of TWO additional
MDF blocks and splitters in 19“ rack
2. Single DATA cable connected to MDF eliminating long VOICE and LINE cables
3. Only TWO additional connection points per ADSL line needed instead of SIX
4. Overall space saving in CO
5. Full control over voice service in case of line sharing
(Competitive Carrier owns DSLAM only with no access to voice signal)
Customers appreciate Corning Cable Systems MDF and DSL products both for central office and remote ca-
binet based setup of DSL systems. Corning Cable Systems supports designing and realizing of customized
MDF and DSL solutions for cabinets.
40

Main Features of Corning Cable Systems xDSL Blocks:

• ADSL2+ or VDSL2 splitters for ADSL/VDSL over POTS or for ADSL/VDSL over ISDN respec-
tively according to international standard documents or to customer specifications
• Corning Cable Systems splitters provide for highest density of MDF integrated splitters solu-
tions in the market place.
• IDC contacts based terminal blocks from Corning are field proven for decades and well
known for high quality and reliability. IDC contacts (Insulation Displacement Connection contacts)
allow for terminating copper wires by connecting and cutting wires at the same time. The
connection is absolutely gas tight.
• Metal chassis of xDSL blocks avoids any EMC issues.
• Splitter bypassing for test purposes is possible for individual customers or customer groups
based on test plugs.
• Test access to all signals based on test cords (VOICE and LINE signals in case of Ultra High
Density block).
• No extra tool needed for xDSL block 1000RT. Only the standard termination tool suppor-
ting all Corning Cable Systems MDF products is required for terminating copper pairs for
VOICE, LINE, and DSLAM on the xDSL block Series 1000RT.
• Lightning protection available as an option
Standard versions of xDSL blocks support 32, 48, or 72 splitter ports. Each module of the xDSL
block provides splitter ports and related connectivity for VOICE, LINE and DSLAM. The metal chas-
sis of the xDSL block allows for flexibly adapting the port count of the product to the splitter ports nee-
ded for a given application (e.g. port count of DSLAM boards, space available in Remote Cabinet, etc.).
Corning Cable Systems MDF integrated splitter products are available for horizontal and vertical installation
and support user-friendly cable management (wire guides and jumper combs) like all Corning MDF products.
Installations based on Corning Cable Systems xDSL blocks frees up rack space that can be used to support
more customer lines or more different services.
Certified quality control during the production guarantees the highest level of product quality and a product
performance compliant with relevant standards.
A wide choice of splitter designs compliant with international standards is available. Furthermore Corning
Cable Systems has a strong experience in flexibly adapted splitter performances according to its customers’
specific needs. Please do contact our Customer Service Team for further details.

Overvoltage Protection Magazines

for xDSL Block S1000RT and xDSL Block S1000RT (UD)
Installing valuable DSLAM equipment is a key element in all approaches to provide higher data rate broad-
band services to private end customers. Doing so more and more electronic equipment is installed in street
cabinets outside of the well protected environment of traditional central offices.
Exposure to disturbances as occurring more frequently in overhead installation of telephone lines or resulting
from questionable installations outside of the control of telephone companies can cause significant damage
in remotely installed DSLAMs.
Corning Overvoltage Protection (OVP) products do help to protect field technicians and valuable infrastruc-
ture effectively against a wide range of damages as potentially resulting from overvoltage disturbances.
For the xDSL Block 1000RT there are 4-and 8-port overvoltage protection magazines available to protect 4
LINE plus 4 VOICE connections or just 4 LINE connections against disturbance entering the cabinet from
external cable links.
For the xDSL Block 1000RT (UD) there are overvoltage protection magazines available to protect 8 LINE
connections against disturbances coming from the distribution cabling.

General Concept of Mounting Chassis and Fixing Solutions

Corning MDF Series 1000RT supports both, configuration in traditional MDF distribution blocks with pre-defi-
ned port counts (e.g. for Central Office application) as well as more flexible configurations in a wide range of
mounting chassis and fixing structures allowing our customers to make the most out of their specific, space
restricted application (e.g. in street cabinets, 19” racks, or wall boxes).
Street cabinet 19‘‘ rack Wall box
IDC strips of MDF Series 1000RT are available in 8-pair and 10-pair structures and come with wire guides
attached to the IDC functional element according to our customers needs. MDF solutions using MDF Series
1000RT strips of all identical dimensions can take perfectly into account
• required overall pair counts

• pair counts of cables to be attached
(8-pair or 10-pair structure)
• available space
(flexibility given by strips with wire guides to the left, right or rear side)
• predetermined mounting concept
(street cabinet, 19” rack, etc.)
MDF Series 1000RT inherited the support for user friendly cable management from Corning high end MDF
products. Wire guides and jumper combs are key elements of that cable management support. Whereas
wire guides are part of the IDC strip mounting structures like mounting angles and 19” rack mount frames
come with optionally closed or open jumper combs and thus complement the cabling support concept.
Corning offers a very flexible approach based on mounting angles in addition to a set of predefined products
to conveniently apply IDC strips and / or distribution blocks in e.g. 19” environment or in distribution boxes.
51

General Concept of Mounting and Fixing Solutions

Mounting Angles
Generally IDC strips of MDF Series 1000RT are installed on so called mounting angles made from stainless
steel. It takes a pair of mounting angles to mount the number of IDC strips required in a given application.
Cross-connection cabinet with IDC strips Mounting Angles with IDC strips
Mounting angles are available with a large variety of slot counts with each slot prepared to take one IDC
strip. To give an example, there are customers using the 32 slot mounting angles in order to mount up to 30
pieces of 10 pair strips of MDF Series 1000RT with one empty slot every 10 strips in order to best support
their 3x100 pairs application.
In accordance with MDF applications the open jumper comb is used to guide bundles of the 10-pair subscri-
ber or 8-pair system cable, while the closed jumper comb of the mounting angles is used to guide individual
jumper wire pairs.
In case IDC strips with wire guide for cabling from the rear are used, there is no need for the mounting angle
intended for the cable side to have any jumper comb at all. For this application mounting angles without jum-
per combs are offered.

Mounting angles can either conveniently be screwed to existing supporting structures (e.g. in street cabi-
nets). In case supporting structure is not available on site Corning is offering a variety of standard supporting
structures e.g. for standard cabinets (e.g. KVz 82 and 83) and for 19” or ETSI racks.
52 In addition to those predefined products Corning is happy to support our customers by customizing suppor-
ting structures to best support their application.
Solutions to mount IDC Strips vertically arranged into cabinets

Mounting brackets
The mounting brackets are used for the installation of Series 1000RT mounting angles into ETSI or 19”-ca-
binets or racks. Two horizontally installed brackets are required to fasten the mounting angles at top and at
bottom side.
While the length of the mounting angles is flexible and can be adapted to the required number of pairs and
the available space in the cabinet by choosing the appropriate size, the number of vertical bays is defined by
the width of the bracket.
In 19” and ETSI cabinets with a fastening dimension of 515 mm two vertical bays of mounting angles can be
installed. ETSI cabinets with a fastening dimension of 555 mm allow for installation of 3 bays.
These mounting brackets are not limited to be used in combination with Series 1000RT mounting angles, but
can also be used for the horizontal installation of distribution blocks.

Solutions to mount IDC Strips horizontally arranged into cabinets

Rack mount frames
The rack mount frames are used for the horizontal installation of Series 1000RT IDC strips into ETSI or
19”-cabinets or racks. All frames are equipped with suitable mounting tongues as known from the S1000RT
mounting angles or distribution blocks giving a stable support to the IDC strips.
The capacity of the rack mount frames depends on the width of the related cabinet:
28 IDC strips can be hosted in the 19” rack mount frame, 32 respectively 34 IDC strips in ETSI cabinets de-
pending on the fastening dimension of 515 mm or 555 mm.
IDC strips with wire guide configuration left / right or right/left are recommended for the use with these rack
mount frames since all of these racks comprise jumper combs for a structured and user-friendly cable ma-
nagement.
Likewise the structure of horizontal MDF blocks the jumper comb for the individual jumper cable pairs is loca-
ted on top and is closed. The jumper comb for multi-pair cable is located on bottom and is open. For scree-
ning of the cable special single or multiple strain reliefs are available. For the ease of illustration the jumper
combs with screening facility are shown on top side. Please refer to attached table for details.

Cross-Connect Cabinet
A cross-connect cabinet (CCC) is a component in the copper access network to connect and distribute the
cables coming from the local exchange with the cables going to the subscribers. It is also called street cabinet.
The weatherproof cross-connect cabinet consists out of the housing with front door, a base plate for the cable
entry and a mounting frame or fixing structure. For Series 1000RT IDC strips there are two different mounting
frames concepts available depending on the overall number of cable pairs:
• Cabinet type “KVz 82” contains a standard mounting frame for cable terminal heads (CTH):
maximum capacity is 1600 pairs (16 x 100-pair CTH).
• Cabinet types “KVz 82a” and “KVz83” are designed to accommodate Series 1000RT mounting
angles (54 IDC strips) by means of a horizontal fixing structure provided:

High Density Series 1000RT (HD)
High Density MDF Product Family Series 1000RT (HD)

There are important reasons why upcoming network restructuring as well as broadband provisioning in com-
petitive environments do ask for new high density MDF products most efficiently using available space in
street cabinets
• Cross connection cabinets (CCC) fully loaded with traditional products can block
the roll-out of the fast broadband network
• Many neighbourhoods reject the new, large sized Multi Functional Cabinets (MFC)
• Extra space demand may result from request for co-location on street cabinet level
• For future NGN consideration space in cabinets (CCC and MFC)
will turn out to be a most precious resource
Traditional Corning MDF Series 1000RT had been designed for density and for supporting most of the valued
features known from central office focused MDF product families Series 5000 and Series 71.
New IDC strips of Series 1000RT (HD), the latest Corning invention, further reduce the space demand of IDC
based MDF solutions significantly by focusing on core product features without compromising neither on user
friendliness nor on performance, quality, or reliability.
MDF Series 1000RT (HD) allows to implement e.g. cutting-edge Cable Terminal Heads maximizing value
add for both, the purely passive cross connection cabinets as well as powered remote cabinets e.g. for cost
optimized voice or broadband provisioning.

IDC Strips Series 1000RT (HD)

IDC Strips of latest MDF Series 1000RT (HD) come with well known and field proven Corning IDC contacts
for cable connections on the rear side of the IDC strip and IDC contacts for jumper connections on the front
side of the IDC strip.
MDF Series 1000RT (HD) is specifically hardened for use in outside plant installations (dielectric strength
and impulse voltage stability) and qualified for high performance broadband service based on VDSL2 using
frequencies ranging up to 30 MHz.
All IDC strips do securely connect wires with copper diameters ranging from 0.32 mm – 0.8 mm.
Due to the remarkable low pitch (height) of the IDC strips of Series 1000RT (HD) it is possible to build and
user-friendly handle a 200 pair cable terminal head at an overall height of the product of slightly less than 180
mm (pitch per strip < 9mm).
Corning´s major achievement is to provide this extraordinary density without giving up on key requirements
like user friendliness, electrical performance, quality, and reliability.
In order to comply with health and safety rules applying in the field and in order to protect valuable electronic
equipment all IDC strips of MDF Series 1000RT (HD) do support the installation of overvoltage protection.
Test cords can be used to access all signals supported by the IDC strips of MDF Series 1000RT (HD).
IDC strips of MDF Series 1000RT (HD) are available in 10-pairs and in 8-pairs form factor. Maximum flexibi-
lity for all installations is supported by the fact that 10-pairs and 8-pairs strips can generally be mount on the
same metal frame or chassis.
Like all other Corning MDF and xDSL products, the high density IDC strips of Series 1000RT (HD) can be
worked with the Corning standard termination tool.

Cable Terminal Heads Series 1000 RT (HD)

Cable terminal heads are a widely used MDF product used for terminating 100-or 200-pair cables in street
cabinets.
Cable terminal heads do either come as field installable kits allowing the technician to connect cable pairs to
IDC strips and mount these on a metal frame (chassis) one IDC strip after the other.
An even more convenient way of terminating another cable in a street cabinet is by using so called stubbed
cable terminal heads, i.e. cable terminal heads pre-connectorized with cable stubs of specified lengths and
all connections 100% tested in factory.
By using stubbed cable terminal heads field installation can be reduced to simply connecting the open end
of the cable connected to a cable terminal head to a closure in the vicinity of the street cabinet or a cable
terminal head in another street cabinet nearby.
Stubbed cable terminal heads add value by reducing field installation times and error rates and improving
time to market e.g. for all new services set up in ways of
• Overbuilds to existing cabinets with a MFC (Multi Functional Cabinet)

• Extensions of existing cabinets by using separate MFC
(link cables between cabs)
• New MFCs at new locations
(optimized new locations installed into newly cut main cables)
• Co-location on street cabinet level
• Extension of passive cross connect cabinets
A transparent and durable cover is shipped with all high density Corning cable terminal heads offering effec-
tive protection against splash water and dirt particles e.g. at times when the doors of the CCC or MFC are
open for maintenance work.

Overvoltage Protection Magazines for MDF Series 1000RT (HD)

Installing valuable electronic equipment closer to customer is a key approach to providing higher data rate
broadband services to private end customers. Doing so more and more electronic equipment is installed
outside of the well protected environment of traditional central offices.
Exposure to disturbances as occurring more frequently in overhead installation of telephone lines or resulting
from questionable installations outside of the control of telephone companies can cause significant damage
in remotely installed infrastructure.
Corning Overvoltage Protection (OVP) products do help to protect field technicians and valuable infrastruc-
ture effectively against a wide range of damages as potentially result from overvoltage disturbances.
