... most likely you are talking about the 25 pair 66 or 110 type telcom block. These are designed for solid wire and although there are one or two people who swear that they will work with stranded... |

And if you were talking about MASS Punchdown when you were talking about frequent connect/disconnect (I can't be certain), I beg to differ. They are intended for permanent type applications. |

No...he had mentioned putting a MASS connector (a la W3/W4) instead of a punchdown to mate the terminations. I know very well that no one in their right mind would use a punchdown block for any type of connect/disconnect. -Brian |

If stranded didn't work on punchdown terminations, Whirlwind wouldn't make them, and ADC wouldn't use punchdown terminations on their patch bays. |

Let's face it: The trend in our industry is moving toward unshielded twisted-pair for line-level signal wiring. Who knows that stuff better than the phone company? |

On a simlarly-related subject, I heard that the Furman IEM systems get away with using twisted pair by driving the line extremely hard and then dropping the level back down at the receiving end... if somebody knows different, please let me know. Anyways, it is my understanding that this is how they are getting away with using UTP with "telco" connectors on their big IEM system and "RJ45" connectors on their smaller systems. |

Maybe a nice locking circular multipin or something similar. I know most of them are very expensive (Link, Veam, Cannon), but maybe they could try some cheap Amphenol. I would think that would do the trick. |
