Orange, orange white, Blue , Blue white, Green ,Green white, Brown , brown white,



Out these four pairs, i need only one pair for the communication. Which pair should i choose.? Is there colour based on their performance?



Can any one Kindly help me in this



Voice or Data?

If Data, what speed.

But in general you use all of them for a "good job". :)

No. Electrons are color blind, but they know who their dance [twist] partners are!

By somewhat longstanding US tradition, pairs are allocated:

Blue - first voice line Orange - 10/100baseTX or second voice line Green - 10/100baseTX or third voice line Brown - power/other
