10baseT - In TELECOM Digest V22 #638, unspammable-73729@workbench.net wrote (in part): Anyway what I'd like to find is a dual surface mount phone jack -- by that I mean a single unit that contains two jacks that can be wired individually, for example the uppermost one for lines 1 and 2, and the lowermost one for lines 3 and 4. It's a must that the jacks have screw terminals, or failing that, the kind of terminals where you can do a satisfactory job of pushing down the wire by using two screwdrivers.Some devices that appear to fit all criteria (surface-mount duplex 6P4C or6P6C jack with screw terminals):Suttle #635D-49Allen Tel #AT444 or #AT666 And while on the subject -- let's say that at the point where the four lines come in, I want to break them out and distribute them to half a dozen jacks, each home run back to the common entrance point. Is there an inexpensive way to do this that uses SCREW TERMINALS (I have never used a punch-down tool, and don't intend to get one for this one project)? Is there a particular product I should be looking for?You could use "standard" barrier terminal strips (Beau, Cinch, Kulka,Molex, etc.) available at Radio Shack and most electrical orelectronic distributors. Or, you could use one or several of thefollowing "telephone-specific" devices:Suttle #742B-50 or #742A-50Allen Tel #AT742 or #AT635Allen Tel is a Graybar brand.
