A main distribution frame (MDF) is the primary hub or demarcation point that interconnects private or public IT and telecommunication lines coming into a building to an internal network via any number of intermediate distribution frames (IDFs).

An IDF room or cabinet is essentially a hub for telecommunications within a limited area, usually one floor in a large building.

IDF rooms are necessary in network installation, and in large buildings in particular, because the speed of Ethernet cable drops dramatically over long lengths. This is true even of Cat6 and Cat6A, which can carry 10 gigabytes per second, but only up to 328 feet.

IDF rooms are places where IT professionals can firstly connect cables to the MDF to create a LAN, and secondly organize cables and reinforce an orderly network topology. An IDF room makes setting up and maintaining a reliable Ethernet network more manageable
