Can I leave the cable untied after terminating the module?

It may still make an electrical connection, but I would not leave it that way.

The cable tie is supplied so normal movement or pulling on the installed cable is taken by the jacket restraint rather than by the individual IDC terminations.

Do I need a punchdown tool for these? What is the plastic strip sticking out of the top of the RJ45 module? Should I cut the plastic strip off the top of the module? Why are there two different cable-tie points on the module?
