Subject: Re: [motm] patch cord colors

From: Robert van der Kamp <robnet@...>

I just ordered cables of two different lengths with all
different colors. (I matched the heatshrink color with the
cable color though.)

Using the color to code the length of the cable is I guess
the most smart thing to do. When you need a cable of a
given length you immediately think 'blue, I need a blue
one', look at that messy pile of cables on the floor and
pick it out.

But on my (still) small modular this would mean that almost
all cables would have the same color, which is:

a) plain boring! ;)
b) not easy when debugging a patch.

So I went for the what-the-heck rainbow approach, and enjoy
it. :)
