Mystery (to me) cross-connects - PBX Info :: Your Free PBX, PABX and Telephone Information Resource

Hi folks

Having just taken over a site with some old cable infrastructure (and no tools

), I'm putting together a new kit for the place.

The problem is that this place was built in the '50s and has some <ahem> interesting cross-connects that have been added to it.

Attached are a couple of pictures that show the connectors - it's sorta like a double 66 connector.

I *think* it's called a 112, but I'm not at all sure. The back of the blocks are wire-wrapped.

My questions are:
1) What's it called? and 2) Where can I get a punch-down tool for it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well - it looks like a 112 or 78 or 79 Type block, but I've never seen them with 5 terminals across.

Is there a manufacture on the block anywhere? (LUCENT or AT&T or WECO)?

Do a search for "112" C blocks and "112" or "78" punchdown tools.

Thanks!

I'll check on who made those blocks the next time I'm down in the dungeon and let you know.
