2.4.4.7.2.1 Connection via main distribution board
The interface sockets on the front panel and on the fan-out-panel (FOP) where applicable are
connected with the (main) distribution frame or the patch panels using either patch cables or
prefabricated system cables (see Equipment Overview).

Prefabricated system cable 4 x RJ45
With terminal cards with eight or more interfaces, some or all of the RJ45 sockets are assigned
four-fold on the front panel of the Mitel SMB Controller. With this cable, they can be connected
without the use of a fan-out-panel (FOP). The cable is 6m long and at one extremity has four
RJ45 connectors on which all the pins are wired.
