The 66 block contacts were turning green from corrosion, and the buildup of green between on the block itself was obvious. I have to go back over next week and do some cleaning to see if I can get it to work okay. It's an old green can on the wall of an old bldg with a 66M4(?) block in it. Like the old 1A2 installations used wherever. If I had the time, I'd run a new cable back to the MDF, but the cabling is tied to power conduits way up in a garage ceiling, and I think they are much higher than 16 feet above the ground. I taped a tone tracer on the end of a 10 foot conduit so I could hold it up there to trace the wiring, but it's so high that I can't reach it with my arms extended above my head. Figuring 10 feet for the conduit and 7 feet for the height of my hands, I'm still a few feet short of reaching it. So I don't even want to consider dragging a huge ladder over there to do it. So if I have to, I might just cut off the 66 block and punch the wires down on another one that's not corroded. Last week we had our Publications Dept move across town to a completely new bldg. They have some very old printing presses and new state-of-the-art Xerox machines that are out in the middle of the floor. So they had the electric contractor come and put in power drops from the high ceiling. Big ol' rubber cables with 3-phase, probably 12 gauge or 10 gauge stranded. They just left their ladder in the middle of the room because the socket for the old plugs had to be special ordered and will it be 'a few days', more like a few weeks. This ladder is at least 16 feet high, and is all aluminum. I'm thinking that these sparkies are courting disaster with an all aluminum ladder! But then one of the electricians has big spider webs tatooed over each of his elbows so I guess they know what they're doing. ;-) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options The connection Charles is talking about is made to block corrosive effects of humidity, saltwater, chemicals, water, dirt, and other contaminants. I saw the best testament to the effectiveness of the connection in Grand forks, North Dakota. In 99’ a flood claimed most of the city. All of the electrical and phone services were disabled. The only connections that worked after they activated the new phone switches on were connections from Suttle. Complete submersed and under water for over two weeks the connection maintain the integrity of the circuit. If you have other underlying problem please contact me @ www.avcomdesign.com/TAC/ The specs for the jacks and how they work are linked below. http://www.suttleonline.com/corroshield.html AV ComDesign Registered communication Distribution Designer ------------------------------------- Watson A.Name - \"Watt Sun, th wrote: > Back in Jan, Feb and Mar I replace the same jack not once, but twice

Have you tried Suttle's Corroshield product with the gel in the jacks to prevent corroding? www.suttleonline.com Newwiringguy ------------------------------------- Watson A.Name - \"Watt Sun, th wrote: > Back in Jan, Feb and Mar I replace the same jack not once, but twice
