Don't untwist to much, just enough to punch it down.
If you are stuck and have to put a connector on a cable. There are two types of connectors one for stranded cable and one for solid cable.

And the suppliers say there's less signal loss using solid cable (for interior wall connections) compared to stranded cable which is usually used for patch cables. That right? How critical? I need a total length of about 100 feet, about 25' of which runs through wall cavities. Can I run stranded patch cables all the way through with shielded Cat6 inline keystone connectors or is that 25' length critical enough to warrant solid cable for that stretch?
Sorry for the high jack, but I thought perhaps related.
