Re: Punchdown bloack for Cat5e



I use punchdown blocks from austin taylor to extend a set of existing
CAT5 wires.

I use the 237a punchdown blocks.

within the following connection box.

Here is a picture from when I was punching them down.

As long as you keep the pairs twisted as much as humanly possible to the
terminals I dont see any
reason why you should be able to use gigabit ethernet.

Subject: [ukha_d] Punchdown bloack for Cat5e


Does anyone know if you can use punchdown blocks to extend two lengths of
Cat5e and still run gigabit Ethernet through them? Is there a special type
of punchdown block available?

Still trying to find a solution to extend around 50 Cat5e solid core
cables.

Thanks,

Paul.
