To Dave et. al.: Glad I could provide you with amusement. I am not an installer or claim to be: I am a collector interested in business phone systems of the '50s, '60s, and '70s. My goal is to install a 1A2 system in my home, which is why I subscribe to this tech forum.
My wire strippers are 40 years old and do not even strip 24G wire. My only professional tool is a 66 punchdown tool, also 40+ years old, and I punched down my first 25-pair cable a week ago.
Can anyone tell me what the acronyms, MF and NIU stand for in the above post?
Arthur, thanks for your tip when cutting off a wire too short.
