For my full time job I do a lot of T1 circuits and we do a lot of crimping
in the field, at every cell site we crimp our own and most demarcs are punch
down blocks.

That is correct they do use an RJ-11 in Telco Demarc boxes outdoors, but
bear in mind the Telco installers are never expected to crimp the plug
on. It is factory installed and sealed where the wire meets the
connector and only the pins are exposed to the humidity. When one of
these things is suspected of being bad they toss it and a new Demarc box
is installed. Expensive but idiot proof.
