Connecting wires to 66 BLOCK without Punch Tool

How to connect 1-pair, copper jumper wires to a 66-block when you do not have access to a punchdown tool.

This video shows you very up-close the exact (and simple) you would use to terminate the 22-24 gauge wire onto a 66 block using needle-nose pliers, small flare blade screwdriver, and a small hammer.

If you suspect terminating on 66-blocks is going to be a common task in the future, you have may decide its time to get a real punchdown tool.

There are a couple listed on my website under the Tools section.

gonna try the plyers with a 66 block at my second job. just switched to spectrum with their mta vs centurylinks actual lines. its supposed to work with fax but fax is being sketchy. i wonder if its because i cheated and used just a flat head and the contact isnt sufficent for the frequency range of fax

What happens if you mix up tip and ring? I tried it both directions and it worked both ways... My colors don't follow any standard... :)

Good video but it should be done properly. A punch tool is not expensive. If you can't afford a punch down tool, borrow one. If you can't borrow one or buy one, hold off on the connections until you can buy or borrow one. Your IT person if available or if you have one will either have one or knows someone who does. Alternately, call the people who installed your phone system. They will definitely have one.

Things should be done properly whenever possible. Improvised solutions shouldn't be tried unless absolutely necessary.

wrong wrong wrong. get the right tool or don't do it. I get your point but geeze your asking for connectivity failure.

[erichoneybeargarcia]

Way till encourage doing it wrong. If you don't have a punch down tool you should not be working on this.
