Main Distribution Area (MDA) & Horizontal Distribution Area (HDA)
The MDA houses the main cross connect and the core routers and switches for the corporate LAN. The HDA houses cross connects and active equipment (switches) for connecting to the equipment distribution area and storage area network (SAN). Per the TIA-942 standard, both the MDA and HDA require separate racks for fiber, UTP and coax cable. Several Belden products provide maximum performance, density and management in the MDA and HDA, including:
