RJ 45 for Data and Telecom Colors

Elliott P · 2006-04-05T14:11:14+00:00

Hello,This message is following up to another post. I'm going to go ahead andutilize Cat 6 for both Ethernet and telephone, cutting cost bypurchasing it in bulk, etc. I'm just wondering, before we startworking, is there any industry standard color for Ethernet or telecomjacks. Remember they look exactly the same, and if there is no"standard" than I'll just pick one for the data, like green or blue.

A lot of new devices such as ethernet switches have auto-sensing (MDI-MDX) connectors so you don't need crossover cables.
