Yes it does. The IDC slots are deep enough that the jumper is well out of the way and does not get in the way of the BIX clip.

That's where the tool in the pic above from Soyons-Expositifs comes in.

Just another reason......ah you know where I'm going....

oh and you can put the bix probe on adjacent pairs no problem, one day people will see the light!

Right on, those things are great. I have several of these kicking around, but I am sure that I never actually purchased one. Have you priced those bad boys out lately? I even included a pic of an older one in a recent trivia question thread that we had. They really are the only way to go, since you can use them on a position that already includes a jumper pair without having to lift it. Too bad that they don't make one for more than one pair.

Last time I checked they were about $30

I use a quick and dirty method as we try to avoid installing these blocks on voice lines for our clients so purchasing one of the tools for this hasn't really been rational.

The way I learned to do it is to just grab a 1 pair piece of cross connect wire, punch it down on the block without removing any wires in place, and the use the pins in the clamp of my test set to pierce the wires.

Works pretty well, some times you have to press a little harder on the test set clamps to get em to clamp well, but you can get a lot of tests out of some cross connect wire that you were going to throw away anyway.

What if, you have a wire on terminal prior ?

You double punch ? I hope not.

If so, your in trouble. :nono:

What happens if you double punch does it stretch out the post? and I see some AT&T techs with these little 110 test adapters that clamp right on to the 110 blocks, I always wanted one. Does anyone know where you can get one for 30 bucks like ttech said they cost. I cant find it anywhere for that price
