[sudo-discuss] Cat6 Donation, should I take it? (Punch Down Tool Needed)

[Somebody]

SUPER-THANKS to 'Kare Raisu' for bringing the punch down tool and
helping with the first patch panel!


We got the first patch panel completed, and Kare agreed to continue
working on the second one on Wednesday.
The first part took way longer than I expected. Well, it was our first
one ever. We learned lots of little tricks on how  to proceed best.
At first it seems like just plug it in and punch it.

There were little unknowns that we didn't know that we now know. :)
