I have at least a half dozen of them and I keep using them by mistake since
they don't look any different unless you put their ends side by side and
check color patterns.

I just put a piece of tape over the crossovers to mark them.

Your idea of cutting off one end and just wiring on a straight color match
would make sense. I need to buy a crimper to do that first.

I used to crimp most of my cables, but unless you don't have
wireless, it's pointless having more than half a dozen. A good pair of
crimping pliers was a good investment way back when, not anymore.

Why did we use these cables anyway?
I seem to remember computer to computer or computer to wifi transceiver???

I used them for computer-to-computer gaming (Diablo 1). That
was back in the day when hubs were expensive and wifi was very
unusual.
