DELinstallations once told me to throw away the plastic punch down tools that come with the RJ45 keystone sockets and buy a good tool and I should have listened to him. I just wasted a load of time struggling with getting good connections in a couple of sockets.I put an rj45 on one end of a cable and a socket on the other end and two of the leads were open. Not knowing which end had the problem I replaced the rj45. I still had the same problem so I rewired the socket and that worked. I had to resort to testing with a continuity cable tester after punching each pair to get the job done.
So is there anything to know about these tools. I remember reading somewhere that there is more than one type of punch-down. I'd love some recommendations.
