Patch panels are an inexpensive way to allow easy access to your networking cables. There are many manufacturers that make them, and there is a standard on how the panels are punched down. For instance, every panel has color-coded slots on the back to insert the individual wires in.

Should have a place to write down information for each jack on the panel itself. Remove the backboard from the panel, and mount the panel upside-down on the panel to help keep it in place. Use cabling scissors or a RJ45 crimping tool to strip the sheath off one of the cat5e cable and the white string. Use only about an inch of each of the twisted-pair cables.

Unwind the cables slightly while keeping the twist as tight as possible, then press each individual wire via color code into the slots on the panel with your fingers. After the wires are in place for an individual cable, use a standard punch tool (available at most hardware stores) to install the wires. Simply press down the slot with the tip of the punch tool, then press down hard with the tool. A “punching” sound should be made as the tool presses the cable tightly into the slot. The punch tool has a blade that cuts off the excess wire as it is being pressed into the slot. The slot itself will create a small cut in the wire insulation to allow the metal wire to have contact with the panel. Repeat these steps for all eight wires in the cable.

After all of the cables have been installed in the panel, place the front of the panel back into the backboard. Now it is time to test each jack of the panel to make sure the cables are installed correctly. Plug a cable tester into one of the jacks on the panel. Plug the other end of the punched cable into the other module of the cable tester. Test the cable as stated on the instructions of the cable tester. Cable testers are similar in the way each one operates, and they are not difficult to read. Repeat these steps to test each jack of the patch panel. And now you’re done!

Is there difference in punch size in blanking and piercing?

Whether it is blanking or piercing, size of opening in sheet is governed by punch and size of cutout piece is governed by Die. So, for piercing, Punch size should be same as required hole size and clearance should be given on Die. For e.g for a hole size Dia 8, punch size should Be 8mm and die size 8 + clearance For Blanking, DIe size should be same as size of blank and clearance should be give on punch. So for a blank of Dia 8, die size is of 8mm and punch size is 8 - clearance.


What do the numbers 66 and 110 mean in styles of punchdown blocks?

The 66 punch down block is a style of cross-connect device used in telephone installations utilizing 25-pair wiring. It consists of 50 rows of wire pinching posts arranged on a narrow rectangular block of plastic. The installer uses an impact punch-down tool with a tip that is specific to the 66 style. "Punching" involves placing the wire against the post and pushing it into a v-shaped slot in the post with the punch-down tool. The punch-down tool cuts the wire as it "bottoms out" against the plastic block. The 110 punch down block is a later style of cross-connect device designed for use in datacommunications installations. Similar in concept and basic shape to the 66, it has 100 or 200 rows of smaller wire pinching posts that are also arranged on a narrow block of plastic. The punch-down tool uses a 110 tip for the smaller size posts, and operates in the same manner as does the 66. The 110 punch down block utilizes 4- or 5-pair connector blocks to patch ethernet signals between various lines in the network using 110 wiring plugs in the ends of patch cables. Various mounting options for both the 66 and 110 allow for alternate arrangements, either on a flat surface found in a typical communications closet, or in a rack mount cabinet.


What do you do after you punch the dough in the bread making process?

You don't need to punch it, just pushing it down a bit will be enough. Turn it on on a lightly floured board and knead it just a bit and then shape it into a loaf. Put the seam side down and put it in the pan to rise again. When it doubles in size again, bake it.
