The vertical cross connect (also known as the backbone riser) is the component of the backbone that runs between a building's floors and can be used to connect an MDF (Main Distribution Facility) and IDF (Intermediate Distribution Facility) or multiple IDFs. The horizontal cross connect is used to connect end-user equipment to the telecommunications room, and a patch cable is a flexible cable used to connect devices or components, but not typically used for backbone connections. Diagonal cabling is not a standard term in networking and is not a valid choice.
