110 Block Punching Down 25 pair Cable

Showing how to punch down a 25 pair cable on a 110 block. When punching down a 25 pair its important to get the color code correct. I have a video on the color code. Always lead with the tip color and follow the order weather you are punching down a 25 pair or 100 pair.

This is the second video in my Tel-Comm series be on the look out for more of these videos as I will be creating a playlist for them soon.

Have a Great day and Be safe

Now you can do BIX strips. Living in Canada, I've come across far more BIX strips than 110. In fact, I've only once come across a 110 strip in my work. Also, 66 blocks are getting scarce and I haven't seen one in many years. You use a similar punch tool for BIX, but not those clips. With BIX, you punch down the cable on one side of the strip and then flip it over, so that the cross connect side is exposed.
I carry both BIX and 110 punches in my tool kit, but these days I mainly use the 110 for Ethernet connectors and BIX is used less with the move of just about everything to IP/Ethernet.
BTW, my cross connect experience goes back over 50 years to the days of "Christmas tree" solder blocks and wire wrap blocks.

Nice job. Taking my BICSI lass next week and this helps much. I am in Timing and Sync so don't see much of this but need it to fill out my experience.

Well explained
Sir will you explain what's this punching down and how it helps us?
Is this important for a network engineer to understand ?
Tnx

can you please tell me how many connecting blocks are needed?

your cable color code is great, easy. some cable only has solid colors, so the white blue pair has a solid white and a solid blue, then the white orange pair has a solid white and solid orange. much care is needed to make sure you do not mix up the pairs.
