Chris, Verizon (formerly NYNEX) is very big on Krone - as are AT&T and some of the other carriers.
I did a job for Bellevue Hospital here in NYC before I retired. Two floors of the Laboratories and Offices of the Infectious Disease section. Probably 300-400 stations of Voice & Data.
Part of the job called for me to pull a feeder cable for Verizon from the MDF/MC to the Demarc in the basement - and terminate it on both ends.
On 110 Blocks.
When the Verizon foreman came to look at the job he freaked out and insisted that I change the blocks. His men had nothing but 66 and Krone tips for their punch on tools. He had no idea how he could get them 110 blades.
I suggested - buy them? NY Tel always had accounts with Graybar. Did not Verizon? Yes, but....
I showed him my spec (stating 110 blocks on both ends) and told him to take it up with the GC.
I never heard back.
