Thanks a lot Matt.
Larry, we just started using the Wago's and love
them. Hadn't thought about them for this and
assumed they would not work well with solid Cat
5. Seems like the Cat 5 would want to break but
you are right and they will work with solid wire.
Have you used them this way? I'm going to try
it today. The ones we use have no goop in them
(that I've ever noticed) but otherwise look identical.
However, unless you know something I don't they
are Not insualtion displacement and the web site
also shows the wire stripped back when inserted.
Qx3, the Wago's do require stripping, the button ones don't. They are different items. The Wago's take the wide wire range, and are actually rated for line voltage and current. The buttons are meant for small-size solid, like CAT3- and -5.
