I got some of those earlier cables. Wow, has it been 6 years!
I just put a "REV" label on the dustcap so I know which ones are backwards. They connector keying is quite good, so you really have to work on putting them in backwards. A sharpie writes real well on the connector dust cap. I also mark the cables I build this way. That way I know which is which.
Just a thought ...
