Re: [motm] The Cable game...one last thought....

2003-02-20 by Richard Brewster

Just FYI, the dot com cables are color coded by length, following the
resistor color code:

1' - brown
2' - red
3' - orange
4' - yellow
6' - blue

And yes, this coding comes in handy when selecting a cable from a pile.  I
generally pick one that's about long enough.
