Use spooled DIW cable.

Use labels.

You probably need most, if not all, of the following tools and equipment to complete your wiring installation. Which items you need depends mostly on the layout, dimensions, and structural particulars of your place of business.

Cable stripping tool

You need a tool for stripping the outside jacket from the cable without damaging the wires.

Cable termination tool (punch down tool)

The connecting blocks on your adapters have caps that punch wires down when the cap is pushed onto the block. For large installations we recommend you use a punch down tool for punching down wires.

Diagonal cutters, wire snips, scissors

You may need scissors to trim wires after you punch them down onto the blocks.

Plywood or similar board

If you are mounting the jack field on a brick, concrete, concrete block, or hollow wall, you must first attach a board to the wall to provide a proper mounting surface for the jack field. The size depends on the number of wiring boxes and whether you are mounting the control unit on it as well.

Drill and bits

You may have to drill holes in some walls for some wiring runs. You may also have to drill pilot holes for the screws used to attach the jack panel boxes to the plywood board.

Cable ties and clips

You can use cable ties to bundle the cables and cords at the control unit location to reduce cord clutter. You can use cable clips to attach the cable to walls and baseboards along your wiring runs.

Stapler and staples

You may want to use wiring staples in place of cable clips at various points on your wiring runs.
