MDF Connections Melbourne

MDF – What you need to know

Phoneworks specialise in all Main Distribution Frame / MDF / MDF Box connections and installations.

The Main Distribution Frame, or MDF as it is commonly known, is where the legal responsibility of NBN and the other Telco’s finish. From the Main Distribution Frame / MDF into the premises, all telecommunications wiring is privately owned and maintained.

Many people refer to the Main Distribution Frame as an MDF box or MDF for short. The Main Distribution Frame / MDF or MDF Box is the lifeline of many residential and business tenants and must not be accessed by amateurs!

Phoneworks only use experienced, fully licensed, Phone Technicians who specialise in telecommunications to connect your phone line. Failure to do so can result in disconnection of the wrong line and inconveniencing other people or businesses.

MDF is also referred to as the Network Boundary Point.

A to B Jumpering

Many service providers refer to MDF connections as “A to B jumpering”.

An A to B jumper means a connection will be made from the provider’s side of the frame “A” to the customer’s side “B”.

When you order an NBN service a technician from NBN co will be dispatched to connect your line on the “A” side of the MDF frame.

From there, our technicians will identify the correct NBN service and install a jumper from the “A” side to the “B” side to connect your service.

Phoneworks technicians are highly trained in all MDF work and must not be done by an amateur as essential services can be easily disconnected. (Lifts and Fire)

MDF Installations & Repairs

Wherever there is an apartment or office building in Melbourne the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) exists.

Many of these frames are extremely old and weathered depending on the age of the building.

It is important that these frames are kept in new condition as a quality NBN connection depends on it.

If an MDF frame is beyond repair a new one will need to be installed. All services on that frame will need to be temporarily disconnected and relocated to a new frame.

Make sure you’re getting a licensed and experienced telecommunication technician to ensure a correct MDF installation.

Thankyou Peter and Nick for another great job you did for me

We always had issues with our internet speed that other technicians were unable to fix. Your technician was proficient and carried out his work meticulously. Our speeds have increased from 3,500 kbps to 21,000 kbps on one ADSL service. The other back up service increased from 3,150 kbps to 19,000 kbps. Needless to say, the problems were solved and we have had no internet issues since.

It is a rare thing for me to want to take the time to comment on service, but I must say that your recent work done at our Cheltenham office was really excellent. The friendly can do attitude of your staff is what sets you apart from the rest. Well done and thanks again!

Mindsystems Pty Ltd, Cheltenham, Vic

Our internet was not acceptable, so i rang the lovely lady at Phoneworks. Juanita was very understanding and assured one of the boys would come out later that day.

Before i knew it a lovely guy by the name of Nick arrived at my house and replaced my wiring which he said was not suitable for NBN. Now I have a fast, reliable connection.
Thank you so much, Juanita & Nick 🙂

What can I say – your phone technician was brilliant! Clearly a highly qualified professional. I will be recommending him and Phoneworks whenever possible, especially to other newcomers to my building.

Just a great service! Your phone technician certainly “went the extra mile” to please and make sure things were done just right.

Your Phoneworks technician came out on Saturday and was fantastic. Telstra came out onsite this afternoon to do their part and we are up and running!

I had a Telstra engineer here this morning and he confirmed a line fault which has now been rectified. Many thanks to you and, particularly your phone line technician, for your prompt help and advice..
