IDF (Intermediate Distribution Frame) is the facility where UTP cables are terminated and connected to switches. The cable from the work area on the third floor should be run to the IDF on that floor, and from there to the MDF (Main Distribution Frame) or equipment room where the internet connection is located. Point of presence refers to the physical location of an internet service provider's (ISP) network, so it is not relevant to this scenario.
