I have a couple of hundred terminal wires running through
telephone punch down blocks and am very happy with the
arrangement.  The stranded wire works fine and the punch
down block cuts the insulation of the thicker wire just
fine.

You can also buy blocks with a 50 pin connector prewired on
them.  Then you buy cables which split from a 50 pin
connector into six DB25 connectors.  Add an extension cord
of the right length and you don't have to do any
complicated wiring between the computer and the punch down
blocks.

I've gotten my stuff from LANplex and am extemely happy
with both the products and the services.  They have some
offices on the East coast.  The number of the local office
is (714)680-8686.  They should be able to get you in touch
with someone closer to you.

Good luck,
