Looking for a way to connect your network cables to those little jacks on your wall? You need a punch down tool! They're like a special kind of pliers that help you connect the cables securely. We, at Firefold, offer a bunch of different punch tools options, so you can find the perfect one for your project.
Understanding Punch Down Tool
Punch down tools are spring-loaded devices used to terminate network cables into keystone jacks or punch blocks. These jacks and blocks provide connection points for your network cables within wall plates, patch panels, or other networking equipment.
Here's a breakdown of the key components involved:
· Punch Down Tool: This is the handheld tool that houses a spring mechanism and a replaceable punch blade.
· Punch Blades: The interchangeable blade comes in different styles like 110 or Krone, depending on the type of keystone jack being used.
· Keystone Jack: Keystone punch down tool modular jacks snap into patch panels or wall plates and provide connection points for your network cables.
· Punch Block Tool: Like keystone jacks, punch blocks offer multiple connection points for network cables but are typically fixed into a permanent location within a rack or enclosure.
