MDF/lDF DESIGN: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES
Use the type-2 frame (described under
Recommended Frames for Terminal Blocks
earlier in this chapter)
to design a zoned MDF that is terminating up to 16 modules. Table 2-6,
Module Allocation per Zone
with Type-2 Frame,
shows the number of modules allocated per zone when you design an MDF with a
type-2 frame. Each type-2 frame can accommodate 4000 jumper pairs per side. Figure 2-11.
