Why MDF Jumpering May Be Required
Sometimes, moving into a new building doesn’t mean an automatic NBN connection. Unrecorded cable information, mismatched multi-paired lead-in cables to an IDF, or street-level cable upgrades can complicate matters. In new constructions, each service typically requires an MDF jumpering connection.

What Is MDF Jumpering?
If you’re moving into a new flat or setting up shop in a multi-tenant building, you might hear about the need for MDF Jumpering. But what does that mean?
MDF stands for Main Distribution Frame, a central point in a building where all the NBN internet connections are first terminated. The MDF has two main sections: the network side, commonly referred to as the ‘A’ side, and the customer side, known as the ‘B’ side. Your NBN service provider will connect your new internet service to the ‘A’ side of the MDF. However, that’s often where their responsibility ends.
To complete the connection and get your NBN internet service up and running a jumper wire must be run between the ‘A’ side and your specific unit’s termination point on the ‘B’ side. This process is what’s referred to as MDF Jumpering. It bridges the gap between the building’s main connection point and your individual unit, enabling you to access your NBN internet service.
This step is crucial, and if overlooked, you’ll find that your NBN internet isn’t functioning even though you’ve received notification that your line is ‘ready’. MDF Jumpering is the missing link that completes the circuit from the NBN node to the socket inside your unit, shop, or office. It’s not just a technicality; it’s a necessity.

MDF Jumpering For Residential Complexes
Navigating NBN setups in large residential complexes, such as retirement villages or modern apartment complexes, can be challenging. Despite this, our MDF connection service in Sydney is committed to ensuring you’re always connected. Check out this video.

High-rise buildings housing sensitive tenants often have stringent security protocols. This includes submitting safety data, work method statements, SWMS, and undergoing site inductions and background checks. If you’re in such a building, please consult with security first.
Things To Consider Before Starting with MDF Jumpering
At SECURE A COM, we offer two tailored packages for residential and commercial MDF Jumpering services in Sydney. Our pricing is designed for smooth, hiccup-free connections, enabling us to maintain competitive rates. However, to avoid any additional charges arising from unforeseen issues, we recommend a few preparatory steps. Before we arrive to carry out your service, please listen to the service video at the top of this page and read through the list of potential obstacles below. Being well-prepared can help ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible, saving both time and money.
NBN Cable Details
The pivotal step before scheduling our cable connection service is to obtain cable details for the NBN connection from your ISP. Without this essential information, we cannot proceed with the setup. Make sure you have contacted your ISP and have this information on hand before we arrive, so we can connect you to the NBN hassle-free.
We Have Most Master Keys
We possess master keys for 97% of Australia’s MDFs. However, if your building has particularly tight security, it’s advisable to secure a key and possibly complete the necessary paperwork for access to the communications room prior to our cable connection service visit.
MDF Location
If you’re in a large building, we strongly recommend consulting your building manager before scheduling our cable connection service visit. This proactive step ensures efficient, quick access to the MDF room, ultimately helping you to avoid any potential extra charges for delays.
MDF Access
If your building employs a unique security lock, rather than a standard NMB or Abloy key, it’s crucial to arrange for key access prior to our cable connection service visit. This preparation helps you avoid incurring any additional charges due to delays.
Building Security
For high-rise buildings, obtaining security clearance is often a critical step before scheduling our cable connection service. We recommend contacting your building’s security to arrange this, sometimes as much as a week in advance, to ensure a smooth process.
Building Inductions
For certain locations, a site induction along with the submission of SWMS and additional safety data may be prerequisites for access. It’s essential to verify these specific requirements before arranging a visit from our cable connection service to ensure a seamless experience.
IDF Consideration
In some scenarios, your cable will run straight to the Main Distribution Frame (MDF). In other buildings, it may go through an Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF). Whether your setup is straightforward or involves multiple IDFs, rest assured we have you covered.
Cabling Faults
Sometimes after MDF Jumpering, connectivity issues may still arise. These could be due to faulty cabling or sockets in your building, or perhaps a network issue. If this happens, you can opt for our technician to stay and fix the fault within your building. Additionally, if it’s a network-related issue, we can liaise with your ISP and provide them with a detailed report to expedite resolution.
Parking
In busy areas like the CBD, parking can be a concern. If you have onsite parking, please arrange this for our technician prior to our MDF Jumpering service to avoid additional parking charges.
Book Your Service
For most residential locations, our MDF Jumpering service is quick and straightforward. However, in large complexes, high-rise buildings, or shopping centres, additional considerations may apply. If you’re ready, book now for a hassle-free experience.
