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. --Adam -- Adam Schabtach adam@... www.studionebula.com
