4-pair station cable — Use this cable when 4-pair station cables are to be field-terminated on 
the 110-type terminal blocks in the equipment room or satellite closet and the information outlets 
require push-on connections.

Closets 
Closets are intermediate points between the Main Distribution Field and the endpoint. They are 
used to distribute wiring to multiple destinations via cross-connect equipment. 
There are two different types of closet configurations. Satellite closets are usually distribution 
points for multiple site closets. However, information outlets may be wired directly to a satellite 
closet. Site closets are the last cross-connection point before the end user information outlet. 
Satellite and site closets may be used to apply bulk station power to information outlets.
Satellite locations
Satellite locations are closets that provide an administration point (using cross-connect 
equipment) for station cables and where adjunct power may be applied. The station cable 
circuits from the equipment room MDF are 3-pair. At the satellite location, 4-pair circuits run to 
the information outlets. The hardware used is 110-type terminal blocks.
