How can you connect your butt set to a pair in a 110 block to test for dial tone? I'm interested in quick and dirty methods, homemade adapters, and store-bought solutions.

I use a combination of two adapters. One is from Siemon's - an RJ-45 (female) to 110. They make quite a few varieties of this type. The one I've got is a TAP-110-A4 (568B wiring). The other is a Dracon "Banjo" RJ-45 Male (and a female) to clips. It's part # is 10230-000.
Personally I hate 110 blocks. I'd rather use 66 Blocks for voice anyday. Leave the 110 for data patch panels.

I'm with you Sam. 110's are a PITA as far as testing is concerned.

I've made a cable with Siemon's 1 pair field terminated connector S110P1, It cost about a buck fifty. Siemon

ttech is right on the money - that one has needles that will connect even if there is a jumper already in place on the 110 block, so you don't have to pull jumpers to test and then punch them back down.

Does bix allow for connection of an adapter if a jumper wire is in place?
