Each input is pretty simple, if it is made it conducts voltage. But
doing this many at once becomes a snow storm. Any suggestions on best

I would group a lot of resistors and tie one end of all of the to
ground to ground. Use in multiples of 10, like 10, 100, 1k, 10k, 100k,
1M, 10M ohms to make it obvious which wire is which. Then probe the
wires at the other end. In seven passes you can identify the entire
cable.

I use one of these...
