Somehow I have managed to remember the color code...even though I don't use it every day, it's one of those things that sticks with me.

I think we should go back to solder terminals. Or at least wire wrap.
Those were manly connections.

I still have an old GPO wirewrap tool somewhere. 25 years ago in BT wiring an offcut of anything from 25 to 100-pair cable to solder-tag MDF blocks on a mock-up frame was still standard apprentice fare. And properly lacing everything down the side of the frame too.

I just had to buy a wirewrap tool today because I'm installing a Bogen intercom system on Monday which will include about 200 wirewrap terminals... I looked everywhere for mine but couldn't find it - thank goodness we've got an old-school privately owned Radio Shack nearby, where I found one in stock for $6.99. It's not fancy, but it'll do..
