Punch-down Block Wire Gauge
 

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
;-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

As I recall, 24 and 26awg are more standard.

What type of block is it? Type 66? 110?

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

Jim,
I always used #22 solid in the CO, but I don't know for sure out in
the field...

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".

Yep.

Michael, You were in Alaska. Did you ever see one of those troop
carriers that had skies in place of the front wheels, and half-tracks
in back?

No, but I wasn't in the field. I worked in a TV station, and the
roads on base were covered with pck ice, made by using a road grader on
the fresh snow. They would have been used at Ft. Richardson or Ft.
Wainwright, the two large army bases. We only hat two companies at Ft.
Greely. Research & Support. 'Headquarters Command' company was
support, which included the Radio & TV station where I was an engineer.
