I am at home, so I am not sure), but it is 22 ga stranded. We punch those down all of the time. By the way, if you are buying a punch down tool GET A GOOD ONE! We bought a cheap one from Black Box (where we buy our blocks) and it really was unpleasant. I finally coughed up the $80 or so to buy the spring loaded version from Jensen Tools and my tech will now speak to me again! -- A million here, a million there ... they all add up. ******************************************************************************** Jeffrey A.
