wire. Connect wiring from the telephone company to the upper ports of an MDF (see the

2.2.5 VDSL and POTS/ISDN Ports

Use the quick connector cables to connect the lines from the user equipment (VDSL modem)

to the VDSL ports and the lines from the central office switch or PBX (Private Branch

Exchange) to the POTS/ISDN ports. Make sure that the quick connector cable is not shorted

on the MDF.

The line from the user carries both the VDSL and the voice signals. For each line, the VES-

1616FE-55A has a built-in splitter that separates the high frequency VDSL signal from the

voice band signal and feeds the VDSL signal to the VES-1616FE-55A, while the voice band

signal is diverted to the POTS/ISDN ports.

Refer to Chapter 51 on page 279 for quick connector pin assignments.

1 Insert a bushing into a hole through which you want to insert the cables.

2 Thread the quick connector cable through the bushing.

3 Use the quick connector cables to connect the VDSL ports to compatible VDSL

modems.

4 Use the quick connector cables to connect the POTS/ISDN ports to the central office

switch or a PBX.

5 Bind the cables using cable ties after they are connected.
