Just completed an install of 60 data locations using Allen Tel 55-16 jacks ( new re-designed ) and had sevral failures. Most of the wires break off at the termination point or V where the wire makes contact with the metal part of the jack. Anyone else hgad this problem? I've used 4 diffrent 110 punch tools, new blades, even a blade I ground down to modify in hopes of stopping the punch blade from breaking the wire. No luck. Allentel says I'm the only one complaining. I've boxed up the bad jacks with the 3" tail of cut terminated wire still connected and sent them off to there engineering department. will wait to here from them. Any one else having problems with these jacks?
