Please log in for more thread options Or more accurately, how do I *apply* the wires (to this CAT6 terminal), since the colour coding is obvious: http://www.bakerbates.com/img/how.jpg I've got solid core cable. Do I unwind the pairs and just slot them in? If so, do the connectors in the block cut through the insulation for me, or do have have to strip the insulating off each one first? I assume it's the former, as the v-shaped notches seem to be blade-like. Also, do I need a tool to do this? If so, what would it be? Thanks for any help. Jonathan | |||||||||||||||||||

> it? Yeap, that's it. It's an IDC (insulation displacement connection) contact. Does the job for you, no stripping needed. As a matter of fact I would advise to use the little plastic caps that were in the plastic bag with this jack to set wires down (may have to use pliers) instead of using a flat head screwdriver. The screwdriver can move the blades of the contact too far apart and render them useless or unreliable. Else get a specialized punch-down tool if you have to install number of these. -- Dmitri Abaimov, RCDD http://www.cabling-design.com Cabling Forum, color codes, pinouts and other useful resources for premises cabling users and pros http://www.cabling-design.com/homecabling Residential Cabling Guide ------------------------------------- ##-----------------------------------------------## Article posted with Cabling-Design.com Newsgroup Archive http://www.cabling-design.com/forums no-spam read and post WWW interface to your favorite newsgroup - comp.dcom.cabling - 1343 messages and counting! ##-----------------------------------------------## | |||||||||||||||||||

Thanks - not sure about the plastic caps you describe, but I think I might be able to borrow a punchdown tool from the IT guys at work. | |||||||||||||||||||
