Decoding Cable Colors and Their Significance
When it comes to wire and cable color codes, one common question is whether there’s an industry standard. While organizations like the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) offer some guidance, there isn’t a universally accepted standard. Instead, private industries, especially telecommunications, lead the way in standardization efforts.
Understanding Cable Color Standards
It’s crucial to recognize that cable color standards vary widely across industries and even countries. For instance, the telecommunications boom following the introduction of smartphones in 2007 led to diverse color schemes reflecting different implementation timelines.
Чөлөөхэнүүхэн, global supply chains mean that companies source cables from various countries, each with its own color conventions. Despite guidance from IEEE, the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), and others, true standardization remains elusive.
Deciphering Ethernet Cable Colors
Ethernet cables, ubiquitous in computer networking, come in various colors, but no single color indicates superior performance. Instead, colors often signify specific applications. Common colors like grey, blue, yellow, orange, and white dominate, with black reserved for outdoor use.
Interpreting Ethernet Cable Colors
The meaning of Ethernet cable colors can vary based on context. For instance, the Department of Defense (DoD) employs different colors to classify data confidentiality levels: yellow for top-secret, red for mid-level, болон цэнхэр өнгийн өгөгдлийг цэнхэр.
Нэг өнгийг нөгөөгөөсөө нэг өнгөөр ялгаварладаггүй, тодорхой хэв маяг гарч ирдэг:
- Саарал Ethernet: Ихэвчлэн Ethernet холболтыг илэрхийлдэг.
- Ногоон Ethernet: Янз бүрийн төхөөрөмжүүдийг шууд холбохын тулд кроссовер холболтыг заана.
- Шар Ethernet: Ethernet-ээс дээш хүч чадалтай (Ну учр) ХолблD ХҮээ, Ethernet кабелийг дамжуулан хүчээр дамжуулан IEEE-ийн байгуулсан.
- Цэнхэр Ethernet: Ихэвчлэн терминал серверийн холболтод ашигладаг, Модемгүйгээр LAN-т олон системийн холболтыг хөнгөвчлөх.

ANSI / TIA нь нөхөх кабелийн өнгөний стандартыг нийтэлж байхад, Бүх нийтийн үрчлэлт нь зайлсхийх хэвээр байна. Зарим институтууд, Висконсин Сүлжээний үйлчилгээний газрын их сургууль шиг, Өнгөний стандартыг дотооддоо тавь. Жишээлбэл:
- Саарал: Стандарт Ethernet холболтууд
- Ногоон: Crossover Ethernet холболтууд
- Шар: Ч зоогийн холбол
- Жүрж: Analog non-Ethernet connections
- Purple: Digital non-Ethernet connections
- Blue: Terminal server connections
- Red: IP cameras
- Black, Pink, and White: Additional options
Navigating Cat6 Cable Colors
Cat6 cables, common in Ethernet networks, adhere to external color codes, distinct from internal twisted wire colors. While industry-wide standards are rare, typical Cat6 colors include blue for network connectivity, yellow for wired security cameras, and white or grey for interconnections.
