Subject: RE: [motm] patch cord colors

From: "Adam Schabtach" <adam@...>

I've placed two orders for patchcords with Larry, and I chose my color
combinations somewhat strangely, I suppose. I grouped cords of the same
length by primary and secondary color groups. E.g., all of my three-foot
cables are red, yellow, and blue; and all of my two-foot cables are green
and purple. Then I chose the heat shrink to differentiate cables of the same
color within a length group. E.g., some of the three-foot yellow cables have
white shrink, and some have black shrink.

In retrospect I'm not sure that this is a very good system, but it's
colorful. :-) More to the point, I couldn't really think of a system that
seemed any more appealing or functional. In particular I didn't want to get
so hung up on a cable color-coding scheme that I'd find myself making
patching decisions based on the cable colors, if that makes sense.

Purple's my favorite cable color, in any case.
