Twisted-Pair Wiring Color-Code Chart<br />

The 25-pair color code is used to identify individual conductors of multiconductor<br />

twisted-pair cabling used primarily in backbone applications. The colors are applied<br />

to the insulation that covers each conductor. The first color is chosen from one<br />

group of five colors and the other from a second group of five colors, giving<br />

25 combinations of two colors.<br />
