1.1. PROJECT BACKGROUND

In the rapidly technologies communication and high speed broadband (HSBB)

nowadays, using network communication as a medium to share photos, music, video, data and
voice in their daily lives. Telecommunications service at Malaysia provided higher service rates
than most customers had previously received and have successfully benefited a substantial
proportion of the internet customer base. However, there are a percentage of customers who
could not achieve their new service rates and some who even experienced a decrease in service
rate. Copper cable network in telecommunication system is divided into two major categories
which are exchange side (E-Side) and distribution side (D-Side) as depicted in Figure 1. Every
connection in copper cable network varies from good to bad connection this is due to these
poor practices while doing maintenance and installationWith wired line access method utilizing
copper wire cables the good service in network connection infrastructure must be always
perfect and excellent. Therefore the using the proper tools and follow the right method
termination is one of the importance things for give the best communication service to
consumer..

This innovation product relates generally as a small hand tool used by telecommunication and
network technicians, it’s used for inserting wire into insulation-displacement connectors
(IDC) on punch down blocks (Tag block).

1.2. PROBLEM STATEMENT

The issue of transmission loss that leads to low speed of downstream and upstream data
has received a lot of attention in recent years by customers as well as telecommunication
providers. Based on issues of loose joint/connections happens at Network Cabinet/MDF due to
use of improper tools for IDC termination at Tag block. Technical Operation
personnel/contractor need to bring too many tools of punchers with them during the operation,
thus they will find alternative tools like a test pen. Not using proper tools such as test pen to
terminate IDC tag block connection will severely deteriorate the speed and contribute to high
attenuation.

1) OBJECTIVES
To design a Multiple Punch insertion tools (Puncher) that is combination of 3 types of tag
block (Krone, Pouyet, 3M) and extra one screwdriver.

To Improve on operational cycle times of termination tag block also reduce fault rate.

To design a ‘secure locking mechanism’ to be inserted at all Tag block connector modules
(IDC) & joints to secure the connections and ensure stability of bandwidth.

Product Description
Size: With Eversharp 110, 66 Blade & Free Blade
The D914 Series Impact Punch Down Tools provide quality terminations
on the first punch, helping to achieve the highest quality possible on
network installations. They are the only impact tools that combine torque
and impact in one tool. They also include a built-in hook and spudger into
the handle. Use the hook to remove wires from any style block or to help
trace wires. Use the spurge to remove the cross-connect module from the
mounting bracket. Quick and easy blade replacement, and extra blade
storage available in the handle.
A punch down tool, also called a punchdown tool or a krone tool (named after the KRONE
LSA-PLUS connector), is a small hand tool used by telecommunication andnetwork technicians.
It is used for inserting wire into insulation-displacement connectors on punch down blocks, patch
panels, keystone modules, and surface mount boxes

Wired line access method, utilizing copper wire cables, it is conventional systems but still one of the
best medium for communication such as broadband telecommunications networks and IT, but it must
be have good connection infrastructure, with it is the use of the proper tools and follow the right
specification.
Wire is the most common form of shape memory alloy. When compared to other
forms it provides the maximum amount of force per cross sectional area, matched only
by strip or ribbon form. Waram assumes a linear stress strain behavior of the alloy in the
operational temperature range (Mf – Af). (T.C. Waram, 1993). Another assumption is
that the given design parameters are only force and stroke. The actuator force and
diameter are related by the stress:

(1.1)
Where σ represents the maximum shear stress allowed and F is the required operating
force. The maximum stress value is related to the lifespan of the memory element or the
number of cycles the actuator can perform. This parameter if chosen conservatively and

can provide to hundreds of thousands of cycles. The designer can obtain an approximate
value for the maximum high temperature shear stress from the manufacturer according
to the desired life of the actuator. For a wire, the cross sectional area becomes:
