At Ohio State, we have been using punchdown blocks for quite a while.  They
seem to work just fine, but we use only single conductor (3 conductor
telephone wire) to wire and cross connect.  You might try striping about
1/4 inch and tinning it, then punching in the tinned part. (or, how to make
stranded into single conductor wire).
