Bill -

That's how I learned it and it works. Siemon's has (had?) a tool to test amphenoled 25 pair cables. I don't remember the part number, but it was two yellow boxes with male and female amps on each one and 25 leds. You plugged your cable into both ends and it lit up up appropriately.

We had one in the shop years ago but never really used it much. I think it seemed like a good idea to the boss but we never had occasion to drag it out more than once or twice.
