Black brown would be pair 14. (2 times 5 plus 4).

Just make sure my prize is really black/brown and not black/orange - I always have trouble telling those two apart! - actually its only the black half of the pairs that get mixed up when the old cat 3 with loose twists would shake apart.

Okay, MP, don't start --- there are a couple of old splicers in this bunch. Where's the x-pair?

:idea: :toothy:

Thank you for the tutorial. I will digest it. You guys are great.

Should I use cat5e for telephone cabling or cat 3?

The building requires Plenum cabling, the cat5e are alot more expensive. Can you guys suggest a place to get cabling cat 3, 5e and 6 Plenum cheap?

Thanks

there is no such thing as cheap copper :confused:

Your local electic supply house or the web are your best bets.

I would use cat3 not 5 or 6 for voice but thats just me

I can't stress how awesome this tutorial helped me. Thanks. I have some questions.

Cable 1 starts on the left most of the 66 block. Cable 2 the right most, cable 3 continues on the on the left. Cable 4 to the right and continue..

Do I use the bridging clips to connect the left side to the right side? That means, I have to use 48 bridging clips per 66 block? Please clarify.

On the left side and right side, there can be 6 cables each. Total 12 cables per 66 block.

Do I need to connect the 1st 66 block to 2nd 66 block to the 3rd 66 block? if so, how.

There are two rows of pins left, are those use to connect to the other 66 blocks or to the phone system? Is this call cross connect? Do you use 49 and the 50th pins to connect?

Thanks

I agree cat 3 for voice unless other wise specified by the csr
