How many times are you unplugging the cable from your CPE? Should be plug it in and done until you forklift the network 4 - 5 years later.

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. bp On 10/30/2014 2:26 PM, Mike Hammett via Af wrote: Wear and tear? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Reynolds via Af" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2014 4:18:55 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 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.

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? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com </blockquote>
