Hi. I have made many phone cables using rj11 and 4 conductor cables
,serial cables using rj45 connectors and eight conductor cables over the
past 20 years or so. I am totally blind, and as the other person said,
if one is careful, it is possible. I must admit, that sometimes it takes a
few tries to get the wires aligned correctly.
as for cat 5 or 6 cables, i suppose it might be possible, but there is the
problem
of matching the color pairs correctly, along with the problem of the cable
being round instead of flat.
the actual colors don't really matter, as long as the correct pairing is
maintained.
I haven't tried this yet, and as a matter of fact, a sighted coworker tried
to fix a cat 5 cable, but wasn't able to keep the wires in place long enough
to crimp them, and had a very hard time getting the colors right.

Hi, I have made quite a few phone cables over the years. I have the tool,
but have not tried making Ethernet cables.
The phone cables are fairly easy if the cable is flat as the wires are in
the correct order. Most of the cables have a stripe on one side, and if you
pay attention to existing cables it is quite easy.
