The punchdown tool is a hand tool that is used by technicians in the telecommunications and network industries. They are used to terminate Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat7 network cables by inserting the cable wires into insulation-displacement connectors on punch down blocks, patch panels, keystone modules, and surface mount boxes, which are commonly referred to as biscuit jacks. This tool gets its name from the way it cuts off excess wire by punching the blade through the wire and pushing it between two metal blades on the connection block. Punchdown tools are also often referred to as a punch down tool, IDC tool or a krone tool, named after the Krone LSA-PLUS connector.
