Cable termination tool (punch down tool)
The connecting blocks on your adapters have caps that punch wires down
when the cap is pushed onto the block. For large installations we
recommend you use a punch down tool for punching down wires.
Diagonal cutters, wire snips, scissors
You may need scissors to trim wires after you punch them down onto the
blocks.
Plywood or similar board
If you are mounting the jack field on a brick, concrete, concrete block, or
hollow wall, you must first attach a board to the wall to provide a proper
mounting surface for the jack field. The size depends on the number of
wiring boxes and whether you are mounting the control unit on it as well.
Drill and bits
You may have to drill holes in some walls for some wiring runs. You may
also have to drill pilot holes for the screws used to attach the jack panel
boxes to the plywood board.
Cable ties and clips
You can use cable ties to bundle the cables and cords at the control unit
location to reduce cord clutter. You can use cable clips to attach the cable
to walls and baseboards along your wiring runs.
Stapler and staples
You may want to use wiring staples in place of cable clips at various
points on your wiring runs.
