There is a German description for this:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:DSL-Hauptverteiler

MDF = Main Distribution Frame (they are called "Hauptverteiler" ["HV"] in
German, in Germany as well as in Austria, btw).

But this leads me to the more general question: how should pstn (and often dsl)
switching exchanges*) be tagged? Here in AT they look like this
http://entbuendelt.at/gallery/?id=N930 or sometimes like that
http://entbuendelt.at/gallery/?id=N993 and there are special dsl street cabinets
that look like this http://entbuendelt.at/gallery/?id=W903 ?

*) if this is the correct term at all?
