110 Block wiring
|
I'm trying to work with a 100-pair 110 wiring
block for the first time for a home project.
I wanted to form a bridge among many of the
four-pair blocks. To do so I stripped the jacket
off a few feet of Cat5E cable and ran the
four pairs in a serpentine pattern among the
bottom contacts of the four-pair blocks,
leaving the twists in each pair intact as best I
could. Is this a common and accepted practice?
Also, when I look onto one of the four-pair blocks
with the first pair (blue) on the left, should I
wire it as RT-RT-RT-RT or TR-TR-TR-TR ? |

Hello, Paul!
Yes, it will work, although I would recommend to run bridging wire on the front side of the connecting blocks. It will make its possible removal much easier.
When terminating 4-pair cable onto a 110 connecting block, the termination sequence (seen from the front) is as follows:
White/blue (tip)
Blue (ring)
White/orange (tip)
Orange (ring)
White/green (tip)
Green (ring)
White/brown (tip)
Brown (ring)
We also publish the Residential Cabling Guide that may be very useful to you. It is available here:
