I asked this in passing a week or so back, but no-one replied... I know
everyone with any wired HA will probably have an answer, so I'll try again
;-)

All the US folks seem to use AT&T 66 and 110 punchdown blocks in their
wiring centres.  I can't see anything by this name in RS/Farnell etc- are
the BT type 237A the same system by a different name?  What are people
using for
cat-5/security/HA connections?  Am I the only one who doesn't want to wire
them all together in a big jumble and stuff it in a box ;-)?

There's no specific mention of the 237A being suitable for Ethernet, and I
understand some of the 66 blocks have a problem penetrating the insulation
on some cat-5...

Nigel
