Shop punchdown tools and replacement blades for terminating twisted-pair cable onto keystone jacks, patch panels, 110 blocks and 66 cross-connect systems. Wallco offers impact tools, fixed insertion tools and interchangeable 110- and 66-style blades for network and telephone installations.
Compare tools by termination system, impact adjustment, blade type, cutting orientation and compatible jack, panel or wiring-block hardware.
Punchdown tools seat insulated conductors into insulation-displacement contacts used by many structured-cabling components. Depending on the blade and termination system, the tool may also trim excess conductor during the same operation.
110-style tools are commonly used with network keystone jacks, patch panels and 110 cross-connect blocks. Match the tool blade to the termination hardware and confirm the required cutting orientation before punching conductors into the IDC contacts.
66-style termination tools are used with traditional telephone and voice cross-connect blocks. Combination impact tools may accept both 110 and 66 blades, allowing technicians to service several common telecommunications systems with one handle.
Impact punchdown tools apply a controlled striking force when the conductor is seated, while simpler insertion tools rely on manual pressure. Adjustable-impact tools can provide additional control when working with different termination hardware.
Interchangeable blades allow a compatible tool handle to service different termination systems or replace worn cutting edges. Verify the blade interface, 110 or 66 format and cut or non-cut configuration before ordering.
Identify whether the termination uses 110, 66 or another IDC format, then determine whether an impact tool is preferred. For interchangeable systems, match replacement blades to the exact handle as well as the wiring hardware being terminated.
