Hello Haden:I have made a few network cables with sighted help. There is no independent way to figure out the wire colors. Some of the wires have a white stripe, so the blue wire is different from the blue-white wire. Once you get the wires in order and trimmed, it is possible to slip on the plug and crimp it, but a sighted person should look through the plug to check.

Hi all. We are making network cables in a class I am taking. To be specific, they are straight through cables. Can anyone provide any info on how I can do this particularly identifying what color each of the wires are. Is there a factor that will identify it?Thanks for any help.
