I know I mentioned this in a thread long ago about punching down stranded wire on 66 blocks, probably on another board.

Anyway, some guy who claimed to have done sound work for TV studios such as where QVC originates also claimed to use 66 blocks to terminate the mic cables with no problems. We were talking about stranded wire and of course I disagreed with him as to that being punched down on the clips of a 66 block. But my point here is that I would not have a problem using them to terminate STP or UTP. They really aren't going to pick up any hum.
