I have designed, built and tested a telephone/intercom circuit for 4 buildings, and got everything to work.
Next I have to connect 4 cables (6 pairs of wire per cable) in the shop (central location) and hook in the other buildings (house, barn and machine shop)
I just don't understand how the clips on a 66 block are connected to each other. Are the rows connected? Are the rows split? Are the columns connected? Are the columns split?
I ordered one to see but it hasn't arrived yet. I also got some bridge connectors for the 66 block. This isn't a major loss if it won't work, but I can't see if it will or won't.
All 4 of the Blues have to be connected together All 4 of the White-blues All 4 of the Oranges All 4 of the White-oranges All 4 of the Greens All 4 of the White-greens All 4 of the Browns All 4 of the White-browns All 4 of the Slates All 4 of the White-slates All 4 of the Reds All 4 of the Blue-reds
(All 4 of the cables enclosing 6 pairs of wire each must be connected this way in the shop location)
Moreover,
All 2 of the Blues have to be connected together All 2 of the White-blues All 2 of the Oranges All 2 of the White-oranges All 2 of the Greens All 2 of the White-greens All 4 of the Browns All 2 of the White-browns All 2 of the Slates All 2 of the White-slates All 2 of the Reds All 2 of the Blue-reds
.... in each the House, Barn and Machine Shop.
So far I've used about 100 3-wire buttconnectors to get to this point.
Can someone please help? I tried to Google the answer but nothing is on there about how a 66 block is wired. Do I need something like this? :
