Do the cabling guy or the phone system guy setup the 66 blocks?

This is two different project of running the actual cables and setting up the phone system.

Thanks

9 out of 10 times it better be the cabling guy.

The phone system will come with its own blocks supplied by the system vendor.

If your cabling guy does not install them then he is short changing you.

How do you connect the 25 cables to the 66 block? I am new to this and want to find out more info. I did some search online, but it is very confusing.

I'm assuming you have a punch tool and know the tp colors start with the blue pair, then orange, green, brown repeat for next 24 wires. How about a little more info in your profile so we know who you are. Also if your new at this and plan on asking many questions you may want to introduce yourself here The pro's like to know who they are helping

Thanks for your help. yes I know the above info. For the phone cabling, If I use cat5e for phone cabling, it have 4 pairs, how many pairs do I use to connect to the 66 block? In what order do I connect them?

If you don't already know this your in way over your head

The white is the tip and the color is the ring.

There are 25 pairs the left and right of the 66 block. How are they used? When do you use the bridge clip?

In what order do I punch down the pair from the cable to the 66 block?

I want to learn and I am new. Thanks for your help.

What you are asking is beyond the purpose of this board. This is for helping endusers with user guide info or for helping experienced installers with help from fellow professional installers. My suggestion is to get with a telephone or cable installer and get your eyes and hands on a project in process. There is so much info involved in this that we could not possibly step you through this one sentence at a time.

Thanks for your help.
