20-pair Colour Code (Australia)
The 20-pair colour code is a colour code used in Australia to identify individual conductors in a kind of electrical telecommunication wiring for indoor use, known as twisted pair cables. The colours are applied to the insulation that covers each conductor. The first colour is chosen from one group of five colours. The combinations are also shown in the table below showing the colour for each wire ("1" and "2") and the pair number. The Australian standard specifies "Grey" in Tables B2 to B7. There are systems in other countries where "Slate" is used rather than "Grey". This is perceived as a minimisation of confusion between "Green" and "Grey" and their potential abbreviations: "G", "Gr", or "Gre". No such consideration is made for "Black", "Blue", or "Brown", or their potential abbreviations of "B", "Bl", or "Br". Sources * www.commsalliance.com.a See also

Colour Code
A color code is a system for displaying information by using different colors. The earliest examples of color codes in use are for long-distance communication by use of flags, as in Flag semaphore, semaphore communication. The United Kingdom adopted a color code scheme for such communication wherein red signified Risk, danger and white signified safety, with other colors having similar assignments of meaning. As chemistry and other technologies advanced, it became expedient to use coloration as a signal for telling apart things that would otherwise be confusingly similar, such as Electrical wiring, wiring in electrical and electronic devices, and pharmaceutical Pill (pharmacy), pills. The use of color codes has been extended to abstractions, such as the Homeland Security Advisory System color code in the United States. Similarly, hospital emergency codes often incorporate colors (such as the widely used "Code Blue" indicating a cardiac arrest), although they may also include n ...

Wire Blue Brown Stripe
Overhead power cabling. The conductor consists of seven strands of steel (centre, high tensile strength), surrounded by four outer layers of aluminium (high conductivity). Sample diameter 40 mm A wire is a flexible strand of metal. Wire is commonly formed by drawing the metal through a hole in a die or draw plate. Wire gauges come in various standard sizes, as expressed in terms of a gauge number. Wires are used to bear mechanical loads, often in the form of wire rope. In electricity and telecommunications signals, a "wire" can refer to an electrical cable, which can contain a "solid core" of a single wire or separate strands in stranded or braided forms. Usually cylindrical in geometry, wire can also be made in square, hexagonal, flattened rectangular, or other cross-sections, either for decorative purposes, or for technical purposes such as high-efficiency voice coils in loudspeakers. Edge-wound coil springs, such as the Slinky toy, are made of special flattened ...

25-pair Colour Code
The 25-pair color code, originally known as even-count color code, is a color code used to identify individual conductors in twisted-pair wiring for telecommunications. Color coding With the development of new generations of telecommunication cables with polyethylene-insulated conductors (''PIC'') by Bell Laboratories for the Bell System in the 1950s, new methods were developed to mark each individual conductor in cables. Each wire is identified by the combination of two colors, one of which is the major color, and the second the minor color. Major and minor colors are chosen from two different groups of five, resulting in 25 color combinations. The color combinations are applied to the insulation that covers each conductor. Typically, one color is a prominent background color of the insulation, and the other is a tracer, consisting of stripes, rings, or dots, applied over the background. The background color always matches the tracer color of its paired conductor, and vice v ...
