I read Ed's previous post, but I thought I would start a new thread. We received our demo a few days ago and it looks real nice. I had never used the push in connectors. Do they crimp onto cable pairs like mod plugs? Where can I buy them? The demo didn't come with any. Thanks!

Call Trans Tel for the connectors, they should come with the demo kit. They are very nice folks and will mail you some. I can't remember how they connect and my system is packed and in the car for tomorrow.
If you got the combo card (analog/digital station) remember to have the switch on the phones set correctly ( one on A and one on B) or they will not work.

They crimp on with an ordinary pair of needle-nose pliers, however I've found that a Scotchlok E9Y crimping tool "feels" better since you can't over-crimp them. The best thing is that you can open them back up and use them over again, unlike Scotchloks.
Do yourself a favor on a new install: Run a piece of 12 or 25 pair into the KSU and permanently terminate it with these connectors. Cut the other end down on a block and use cross-connects for reworking connections.

The best information, as usual, from Ed. I did a motel and that was the only real way to make it manageable.....Ed, you be the MAN!
The connector (DDK?) is used by several manufacturers. X-Blue uses a smaller version of this same connector. DO NOT USE CAT 5...only Cat 3 or the connector does not like to seat properly, especially with the smaller version.
Just my experience.
