Review on STEREN 550-020: 4 Gauge Distribution Block & Telephone Punch Down Block – CAT5 Splitter & Junction Box for Fast Home Installation by Lawrence George

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The instructions are not clear but seem to be well laid out.

The instructions only indicate how the scrap pairs fit together, but do not indicate the order or wiring standard used. I connected the white wires at the bottom of each pair and then ran the tester cable through to see that it used T-568A wiring standards. The cable I connected has a different transmit connector than 568B, hence the orange and green are swapped in my photo. Bottom to top, pins 5, 4, 3, 6, 1, 2, 7, 8. I canceled home phone service before I bothered to rewire my phone lines to this junction block, so I know not how well the RJ-31X interrupt works.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Hard to tell
