what tool is used to terminate cables in a patch panel
Terminate each wire. After all the wires are in the correct spot and double checked to make sure as little amount of exposed wires will be left as possible, use the punch down tool with the 110 blade and terminate each wire individually. The 110 blade will fully cover the wire connector on the patch panel. Push down until the tool clicks and cuts the end of the wire off. Repeat this step if the wire was not fully cut. 8. Secure the cable to the patch panel with a zip tie if there is a slot or tab for a zip tie.
