I was indicating that you could hardwire the jacks for the patch cords into your board, and use a matrix switch system to change the routing. Of course, punch down blocks are rather large, it would seem that you would mount your board to the block, rather than mounting the block to your board. I would suggest that given your requirements, you use a metal bracket or box to physically connect the block to your circuit board, and wire a cable between the two. -Adam David Blain wrote: > > Yes, Alan & Adam are correct. > > I need to terminate multiple pairs of wires (~16).
