If you buy a connectorized cable with a connectorized block this is 
very easy.

If you only have the end of the cable going into the channel bank 
connectorized (amphenol connector) the color of the each cable pair 
will tell you the pair number.

====================

Telephone Cable Color Code
On terminal blocks the TIP is the first wire of a pair. The TIP 
conductor carries a majority of the TRACER color and a minority of the 
PAIR color. For example for pair one, tip is primarily white with a 
little blue on it. Ring is either all blue or is primarily blue with a 
little white.

The PAIR colors are BLUE ORANGE GREEN BROWN SLATE. The TRACER colors 
are WHITE RED BLACK YELLOW VIOLET. After the first 25 pairs, the first 
bundle of 25 are wrapped in a WHITE BLUE ribbon and the second 25 are 
wrapped in a WHITE ORANGE ribbon, etc. After 625 pairs are thusly 
identified, the first 625 pair bundle is wrapped in a WHITE BLUE 
ribbon, etc. to infinity.
