Re: block splices that won't sweep to 1 ghz

You are correct. 15 years ago during the San Raphael Ca. rebuild, ATT Broadband had us placing the tap on the input side of the pole regardless of where the old piece was located and putting in a block splice. About 6 months later they figured out the blocks cause sweep problems that affected the phone system they were trying to activate. They then paid us to go and replace all the blocks with splice connectors. The funny part is we told them it wouldn't work right when we were going through the first time. My advice for them would to either switch to splice connectors or at the very least use universal splice connectors. The universals have current issues if there is a lot of draw through them, they don't seem to like more than 10 amperes.
