The difference between a jumper frame and a distribution frame

What is a jumper frame? The so-called jumper frame is composed of flame-retardant modular plastic parts, which are equipped with a number of toothed bars for terminating wire pairs. The wire pairs can be "stamped" to jumpers in sequence with special tools. On the cable rack, complete the termination of the voice trunk cable and the voice horizontal cable. The commonly used specifications are: 100 pairs, 200 pairs, 400 pairs, etc.

The role of the jumper

1. It can reduce the loss of the interface of network equipment such as switches.

2. The wiring is neat, tidy, beautiful and professional

What is a patch panel

Equipment used on end-user lines or trunk lines and capable of provisioning and connecting them.

The distribution frame is the most important component in the management subsystem, and it is the hub to realize the cross-connection of the two subsystems of vertical trunk line and horizontal wiring.

Patch panels are usually mounted on cabinets or walls.

By installing accessories, the distribution frame can fully meet the needs of UTP, STP, coaxial cable, optical fiber, audio and video.

The distribution frames commonly used in network engineering include twisted pair distribution frames and fiber optic distribution frames.

According to different places and purposes, it can be divided into two categories: main distribution frame and intermediate distribution frame.

use

The positioning of the distribution frame is a modular device that manages the front-end information points at the central office.

The front-end information point cable (category 5 or 6) enters the equipment room and first enters the distribution frame, connects the cable to the module of the distribution frame, and then uses a jumper (RJ45 interface) to connect the distribution frame and the switch .

Generally speaking, the distribution frame is a device for management. For example, if there is no distribution frame, the front-end information points are directly connected to the switch, so if there is a problem with the cable, it will be faced with rewiring.

In addition, the management is also confusing, and multiple plugging and unplugging may cause damage to the switch port.

The existence of the patch panel solves this problem, and better management can be achieved by replacing the jumper.

Usage and usage are mainly configured according to the number of overall network points or the number of network points on this floor (and similar floors, depending on how the system diagram is designed).

Different buildings, different system designs, and distribution frames between main equipment will be different. For example, a building has only four floors, the main equipment room is set on the first floor, and the network points of all floors enter the equipment room, then the number of distribution frames is equal to the number of all network points/distribution frame ports of the building (24 port, 48 ports, etc.), plus a certain margin; if a building has 9 floors, and the main equipment room is set on the 4th floor, then in order to avoid excessively long cables, it is possible to have sub-equipment rooms on each floor , and there is a switching device. Then the distribution frame between the main equipment is equal to the number of network points on the 4th floor/the number of distribution frame ports (24 ports, 48 ports, etc.).

The distribution frame is the most important component in the management subsystem, and it is the hub to realize the cross-connection of the two subsystems of vertical trunk line and horizontal wiring. Patch panels are usually mounted on cabinets or walls. By installing accessories, the distribution frame can fully meet the needs of UTP, STP, coaxial cable, optical fiber, audio and video. The distribution frames commonly used in network engineering include twisted pair distribution frames and optical distribution frames.

What is the difference between the functions of the distribution frame and the jumper frame:

As the core product of the integrated wiring system, the distribution frame plays the role of flexible transfer, flexible distribution and comprehensive unified management of transmission signals. It is a kind of norm, and it is also for neatness, so that it does not look messy and can clearly know what is what. It is to make the change of the line easier.

The jumper frame is used for connecting high-density voice and data cables, providing a convenient and fast termination method and wiring method. Jumper racks can be used for both wall mounts and vertical cabinets.

What is the difference between a distribution frame and a jumper frame

Customarily, you can understand it as two different things: the jumper frame is used to transmit voice signals; the distribution frame is used to transmit network signals. But in reality, which one refers to between the two depends on its predecessor. For example, '110 jumper frame' and '110 distribution frame' all refer to the same thing; for example, 'RJ45 distribution frame' and 'distribution frame' are generally considered to refer to network distribution frames

First of all, let's talk about the jumper

It is customary to refer to a jumper, which generally refers to a 110 jumper. Of course, some people call it 110 distribution frame, but no matter how you call it, it refers to a name of 110 crossover system. It is generally used for the intersection of vertical and horizontal systems of voice signals.

In addition, it is also called: voice distribution frame, voice jumper frame, fish skeleton, etc. Generally divided into 50 pairs, 100 pairs, 300 pairs and other models, which need to be used with connecting blocks.
