What I have been doing for already-constructed Zip-cord leads with APP 
connectors already installed is to secure one end of the cable, un-mate 
the APP housings at the other end, separate the parallel conductors, and 
twist them together again one over the other as "DIY" twisted pair, then 
remate the housings.  Works fine albeit shortens the cable a bit.
