I believe it is 24 ga. solid, but 22 will probably fit. I'm assuming you mean a RJ-21 type 25-pair block. There are Type-66 blocks too, which may be the same gauge, but I'm not

The standard 25 pair 66 punch block should handle #22 through #26 gauge solid with #24 gauge being the norm.

As I recall, 24 and 26awg are more standard.

What type of block is it? Type 66? 110?

Cat 5 cable works -- you don't have any of that? Or "telephone cable" with solid conductors?

Jim, I always used #22 solid in the CO, but I don't know for sure out in the field...

Sheeesh! I should have thought of that. I have about 100' of CAT5 left over from wiring the house. ...Jim Thompson

Then you can check it and see that it's 24 awg. :)

So is CAT3 "telephone cable".

Yep.

The only problem with this 'downhill' stuff is there's a cliff at the end of it.

Don't forget the front mounted machine gun! :)

Michael, You were in Alaska. Did you ever see one of those troop carriers that had skies in place of the front wheels, and half-tracks in back? ...Jim Thompson

No, but I wasn't in the field. I worked in a TV station, and the roads on base were covered with pck ice, made by using a road grader on the fresh snow. They would have been used at Ft. Richardson or Ft. Wainwright, the two large army bases. We only hat two companies at Ft. Greely. Research & Support. 'Headquarters Command' company was support, which included the Radio & TV station where I was an engineer.
