What is the standard wire gauge used for telephone style
punch-down blocks? I'm guessing #22 solid, but I have nothing
that small on hand


Cat 5 cable works -- you don't have any of that? Or "telephone
cable" with solid conductors?


Sheeesh! I should have thought of that. I have about 100' of CAT5
left over from wiring the house.


Then you can check it and see that it's 24 awg.

So is CAT3 "telephone cable".
