Notes

When using punch-down connectors as found in Keystone modules be sure you are using solid wire, not braided wire.

Punch-down connections are a type of insulation-displacement connector (IDC), also known as insulation-piercing connector (IPC).

Note that Vampire connectors work with braided wire.
