Hi Joe:Hello Newbie here (hopefully I have the correct list), I was just wondering if anyone knows of a website with recommended colors for cables for a new datacenter? I have written some things down but I don't want to get stuck saying 'darn, I wish I would have bought this color for this type, now I am stuck'. What standard color to use if voice and data on same interface etc. Thanks. -- Thank You, JoeI have found that it's better not to standardize on wire color because someone will always use the wrong color in a pinch if it will solve an immediate problem. Instead, come up with a labeling system that clearly defines the physical source and destination of the wire. Mike
