A locking clip that doesn't work? It's not a major issue, but I have some that I can never get to stay in properly. You keep pushing the clip out bit by bit to get it to apply more force... then you snap the clip off.

Especially in an environment where wind could move wires or there is vibration etc. And repeated punchdown wears out whatever the punchdown is attached to.

I saw a radio at WISPAPALOOZA that had you punch down the wires onto the radio's circuit board. Seems like it would cut down on any issues of the RJ45 coming undone. What pitfalls would there be? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com
