Bit of a stupid longshot here.

Do any of you know of a way to terminate Cat6.....if you are colorblind? I've only ever been able to terminate Cat5 after trial and error, I usually can't tell the red from the orange from the brown. Or at least the orange from the brown. I'm not completely color blind, but enough where this is an issue.

@gedvondur Probably a pain, but can you clamp the ends in place so the order won’t change, take a picture of them, then use a color-picker software to look up the associated hex codes?

@gedvondur Or alternately get on a video call with someone where your phone is pointing at the ends and have them tell you the colors as you work.

Not sure your setup, but I imagine you could rig up something similar to the pseudo-overhead-projector things people make for teaching classes (they draw on a piece of paper and capture the image from overhead, then broadcast it to the class).
