Here is the new one I was talking about warning I haven't tried it yet
but it seams like a good idea.
http://www.cables.com/Products/100004.aspx
you will see at the bottom of the page the special endings they use.
The down side is the endings are more expensive but 1 bulk pack is
probably more than you will ever use.
The way I always handle the sequence is to compare it to a pre-made
cable I never remember the sequence off the top of my head. Remember
the sequence is different on each side.

I always strip the casing back more that I need to them clip the wires to the correct length after I've straiten sequenced and aligned them. The next important thing is to make sure that all of the wires go all the way to the end of the connector before you crimp it. Then always test it when you are done.
