AND, the pair enters the fanning strip BETWEEN the pins. One wire goes to the pin above and the other to the pin below the strip opening. This barely separates the pair twist at all.

I've been in the IT industry for about 15 years, but I have not done much with the actual cabling (other than putting ends on CAT5/6 patch cables). Nothing personal INET, :rofl:  As far as your home, I agree with everyone above, a 66 block would be more feasible for your situation.

This conversation reminds of a new guy at BT years ago who was trying to be "helpful" in the termination of a multi-pair cable (not to a 66/110 block; if I recall correctly it was one of our old-style MDF/IDF terminal blocks).
"I've untwisted all the pairs ready," he says. And sure enough he had. Every pair was untwisted all the way down to the outer sheath leaving a neat fan of single wires.
To make things "interesting," it was one of the older cables which didn't use two colors on each wire but was just solid colors, i.e. white + blue for pair 1, white + orange for pair 2, etc.

That's funny Paul. Our outside plant cables are like that even now. Believe it or not, a big part of the reasoning for this is that it reduces the insulation thickness and overall cable diameter since Polyethylene is used on them instead of PVC.
I had a new helper working with me years ago who was preparing a cable for a 600 pair splice. Being new to the industry, I told him to just remove the cable sheath and separate the binders. After about two hours, I went to check on him. Oh, he separated the binders alright. He thought he would go the extra step and separate the pairs for me as well. There I was, facing 1,200 single wires, and only ten different colors. He did a nice job of trimming the binder tapes all the way back too!
Lesson learned.
