I completed re-wiring the telephone service for a building in a star (home-run) configuration. There are 5 circuits plus the network line from the outside.
I wired everything using CAT-6 cable from the outside box and all inside wiring. Inside cables are now behind sheetrock.
I was planning on using a hub/junction (66-block or 110 block) in the future, temporarily using a wire nut, but now I'm not sure.
When the phone service was being hooked up today, the technician noted that I used stranded cable everywhere and he had never seen that on the outside line and a junction box would not work unless solid wire was used. My inside plugs were fitted with a punchdown connector which worked fine with the stranded wire.
Did I make a mistake here in using stranded wire? I can still get to my network run, should I replace it with solid core wire for better reliability? Plan on using phone and DSL on the line.
Any input appreciated, Gary.
