Re: [motm] patch cord colors

2004-10-19 by Robert van der Kamp

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. :)
