I have a wiring question, and since it is wiring for the computers, I might as well drop it in here as start a new thread. This is U.S. wiring.

I have the standard phone (4 pairs) wire and am wiring the Leviton data jacks the way the instructions say, but I don't have the 110 style punchdown thing that seats the wire and also cuts off the outer edge flush with the jack edge. Instead I simply used a narrow blade and gave each wire an extra little "shove" into the slot, and took a wire cutter and trimmed each wire off flush with the edge of the plastic. Is this going to be sufficient to work in the jack? I followed the T568A model (there is also a T568B model) so I will be sure to do the same pattern on the other end of the wire (this is running between my office and my son's computer, so that his computer will be hard wired. The wires will go through the walls and attic. I'm rewiring a phone at the same time and doing the same method.

I'm only doing this one set to begin with, though I have a couple of phones to place in other rooms. The wiring is running all over the attic, radiating out from a gob on the phone company terminus under the soffit on the back of the house. I'm setting it up so one wire runs in from that terminus to a hall closet and they will do a star pattern out from a bridged telephone expansion board. I have a 66-block given me by a friend, but I don't have the clips that go with it and frankly it is just too big for what I am doing here in the house.
