for a 16 /4 s**** it really is not worth the cost, time, and
unreliability factor to do this
it takes what about a minute or two to patch a 16/4 s****

it would be more useful to write the channel numbers in sharpie on the
barrels of the connectors so you do not have to search for the
also tape or wirw tie them in groups of 4
that way 6 and 9 and never confused
but to mult a s**** that small is just not going to save you any time
and consider what would happen when you had to use it esewhere or
needed to do repairs

it just seems like more effort than the return will be
