66 Block to Patch Panel

Even the instructor stripped the cable wrong.. You pull the cable past the block, score and remove the jacket, then use the rip cord inside to strip the rest down to the hold point of the cable on the block.. Reason for this is when you score the cable you can damage the wires in the cable and they can break off. I know I have seen it so many times on job where interns and DIYers wired things..
Also the blocks will create a gas tight seal on your wires when you punch them, this is to prevent corrosion down the road.. Spaces in a block should not be skipped and you are not supposed to retwist pairs. ZIP ties are BAD for this type of wire always use velcro or nylon string to lace the cables. Zip ties are fine for coax / waveguid and power cables but not signal or data cables as you can tighten them up so tight that it can compromise the wires inside and create crosstalk or a dead short if it's bad.

To correctly terminate a 66 block, never skip a space as shown here and certainly never re-twist the wires. Twisting and un-twisting goes against cable manufacturer specifications. Also, all wires should enter the pins from the top on a 66 or from the middle on a 110 as he shows here.

Question, so theoretically if i needed a wall jack to bypass the PBX, i could find the POTS connection in the 66 block, punch down the wall jack connection across from the POTS line add a bridge clip and be good to go?

Just started the video, and hope this guy stresses that 66s are mainly for telecom while modern patch panels more commonly used for data. Let's see how this goes...
