That would be rough, but in this case it's not a hindrance. The problem is that even with perfect vision, all these colors look the same. Whoever made this wiring created almost zero distinction between the wires, so the colors look almost identical. What's worse (for both me AND you), is that the stripes on these wires are nearly nonexistent. There's almost nothing to distinguish the color wires from the color/white wires. I wasn't sure if this was indicative of Cat3 cabling in general, or if it was just the dumb manufacturer of this particular type of cable.
