the romex wire itself isnt stripped. you just treat it like cat 5. with a "call for a quote" price to buy the tool. I ran into t
these in a mobile home. contrary to the imaging, the maker embedded them in the wall. so they lay more flush. So you gotta cut the things out. they notoriously short, OBVIOUSLY. they expect you to be able to use the same punchdown area to hold up to 3 romex pairs. The circuit ends up failing and you gotta open all of them up obviously. LITERALLY the hot wire could be lurking behind the outlet thats not working, but it just came loose from the punchdown. Like a phone jack. Of course like any punchdown wire, reusing it where it was pinched isnt too smart, so you better have a lot of slack. People are opening these, then just replacing the whole thing with a box and outlet that has been installed for the last 100 years with no problems, until mr punchdown showed up.
