Explanation
A punch down tool (also called an impact tool or krone tool) is specifically designed to seat and trim individual wire conductors into the insulation-displacement connectors (IDC) on 110 blocks and patch panels. The tool simultaneously pushes the wire into the slot and cuts off the excess. A loopback plug is used for port testing; a crimper is used to attach RJ-45/RJ-11 connectors to cable ends; a cable tester verifies wiring continuity and pin mapping after termination.
