10 Pair disconnection module designed for the termination

of telecommunications connections. The module pairs are
numbered 1 to 0 and feature K style terminations. Testing is
possible in both directions and the disconnection contact on
the front enables test access, measuring and isolation.

PBX -stands for Private Branch Exchange, which is a private telephone network used within a
company or organization. The users of the PBX phone system can communicate internally
(within their company) and externally (with the outside world), using different communication
channels like Voice over IP, ISDN or analog.
Main Distribution Frame- A wiring rack that connects outside lines with internal lines. It is
used to connect public or private lines coming into the building to internal networks. In a telco
central office (CO), the MDF is generally in close proximity to the telephone switch.

4. One isolated 20 Amp breaker circuit is extended to plywood backboard inside the cabinet is to
be provided.
5. All access handles to accommodate a padlock.
6. A maximum on three-foot radius 90-degree bends are allowed in each pulling section.

Procedure / Safety Procedure in doing the activity:

1. Prepare the area for the installation of telephone terminal cabinet and frames.
2. All the necessary tools, materials and equipment should be ready.
3. Follow the proper use of PPE for body, head, hand, and foot protection.
4. Ensure that mounting screws are installed in the upper and lower flanges on the right and left
side of the cabinet.
5. Check the vertical and horizontal alignment of the cabinet using testing tool.
6. Locate the power and ground terminations at the top front side of the cabinet backplane.
