On the back of the terminal board, design drawings, such as connection diagrams and system diagrams, are shown.
A grounding terminal is connected to the outside of the grounding terminal board, and when connected to a measuring terminal, the grounding resistance can be measured. The terminal board is placed with wiring space provided.
Weak power terminal boards include telephone, LAN, TV coaxial cable, and intercom terminals.
Terminal boards for telephone lines have telephone lines and cables drawn in at the base of the terminal board. There are two types of telephone terminal boards: MDF and IDF; MDF is often used exclusively for NTT-related purposes and is managed by NTT.
