I have been told the same regarding terminating pairs on a 110 block vs. 66 block. 110 blocks were made with CAT5 in mind whereas 66 blocks were around probably long before CAT5 was widely implemented.
I'm not sure if they make 66 blocks that are CAT5 rated or not, but the ones we use come with covers labeled CAT5. We've used them in a number of projects ranging from water towers to apartment complexes. Yes, I understand there is a common color code used for 25pr, but we simply keep the pairs in the same order at each end of the cable. We haven't had any trouble maintaining 100MB FDX over this setup and in some cases the cable is every bit of 330'...maybe a bit more.

Is there an actual way to make since out of the mess of wires? When the shielding is peeled back there is no grouping of pairs, color differentiation, etc... How do you tell what pair is what aside from toning them?
