Punchdowns are probably 50%-75% the cause of all troubles in
these types of installations. I very much dislike them.
Even for dial tone they are problematic. Wirewrap never seemed to
fail.
If they were brand new when installed , punched correctly and
nobody ever ever ever touched one single wire on the block ever
again, they are fine.
But that never happens, techs get the wrong wires when
troubleshooting, they tug and pull on stuff to figure out where
they are and they re-punch wires during troubles and installs.
The piggy-back jacks are nice and quick but you still have a
fricking punchdown behind them. I have used them for dial tone
on PBX s but not for data.

*Subject:* [AFMUG] Clip On RJ45 Jacks for Punchdown Blocks?
I've seen RJ45 jacks that plug right onto punchdown blocks. I'm
about to convert this wiring to Ethernet for VoIP. Can I take the
easy way out, remove the jumpers, and install the piggy-back
jacks, or should I really pull it all and punch it back down on a
proper patch panel?
Don't want to cut corners, but if re-punching the whole lot can
be avoided, it would help cut the customer cost.
