Most articles online simply explain what broadcast messages <b><i>are</i></b>, but leave how they are <b><i>used</i></b> up to the imagination.<br />
<br />
This article from <b><a href="https://www.homenethowto.com/switching/broadcasts/" target="_blank">Homenet How-To</a></b> is the best I have found to-date:<br />

there would be a series of 1's & 0's, with the 1's represented by a voltage
of +3.5 to +5 volts, and the zeroes represented by a voltage of 0
to + 1.5 Volts. You would need a REALLY tiny voltmeter probe, but that's
what would be in the chip.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">66
Blocks are the classic old-school telecommunications wiring
punch-down block.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">These
blocks have been and are used for:</span></span></div>
<ul>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">POTS
(Plain Old Telephone Service) Lines</span></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Analog
and digital DS0 data circuits. (2400 bps – 64Kbps)</span></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">T1
lines. (4 wires, 24 channels [USA], 1.544 Mbps digital)</span></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Low-voltage
alarm wiring for equipment alarms, door and window sensors, fire
alarms, HVAC unit alarms, Emergency generator alarms, etc</i></span></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">.</span></span></div>

Camera power leads.</span></span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Odds
are high that if you run into an active 66-block in the field, it
will be used for low-voltage alarm wiring. However, you can never
assume that it’s not legacy services still running some of the
above-mentioned uses. </span></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , serif;">Railroads,
for instance, still use analog DS0 circuits to control track switches
and crossing signals. You do NOT want to be the technician who breaks
one of those!</span></div>

66-blocks.</span></span></div>

for 66-Blocks with orange dust covers. ESPECIALLY if they have

The telecommunications provider owns one side of the block (Usually
the side with the Amphenol pre-wire), and the customer may punch
their equipment wiring down on the other side. This allows the
telecom provider to isolate their service lines from the customer
equipment by simply removing the bridge clips for a particular
circuit during troubleshooting. The telecomm provider’s
responsibility ends at their side of the RJ-21X.</span></span></div>

offer a lot more wiring flexibility than 110-block RJ45 patch panels,
but are rarely used for Ethernet. There’s too much chance for
electrical or inductive interference with the sensitive data signal
at Ethernet speeds. However if you see these blocks in the field,
you’ll now have some idea what you may be looking at.</span></span></div>

This is a classic telecommunications cable jacket stripper. It works perfectly on quad cable, Cat3-6 cable, and 16-pair. I've owned it since 1993. The 312 area code of the manufacturer tells me they were based in the Chicago area. #OldSchoolToolsInstructor Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02152556931865577639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957847343225180800.post-77721127300546325832018-08-16T12:00:00.000-07:002018-08-16T12:20:17.265-07:00How To Detect Fake Links<a href="http://www.biteyourcomputer.net/">Microsoft.com</a><br />
