Punch downs are only good for a relatively limited number of cycles (way
less than an RJ45). So punch downs are good when you expect the
connection to be good for the duration (like usually years). If you
expect to make/break the connection a few times, you would not use a
punch down.

F that.
Wear and tear on CPEs.
We don't use them, but many swear they will only let their installers
use EZ-RJ45. If that's the case, I wouldn't want those people punching
down radios.

What do you guys think of punching down on radios, PoE, etc.? I
saw a radio at WISPAPALOOZA that had you punch down the wires onto
the radio's circuit board. Seems like it would cut down on any
issues of the RJ45 coming undone. What pitfalls would there be?
