smyles 0 Posted January 25, 2014 Sorry for a newbie Q: I'll be running Cat 6 wire in a newly built house for data & video - are there any rules/best practices/etc. re wire color, like blue for video and grey for data? Just curious, since monoprice has so many choices... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kawboy12R 0 Posted January 26, 2014 I'll second Tomscave in a way- when I see blue utp I automatically think data. Grey is what I tend to pick if wiring is going to be exposed to view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted January 26, 2014 Hi. It's a little hard to answer .. Analog or network ..... Data ??? For what . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smyles 0 Posted January 26, 2014 I've meant the runs for IP cameras vs. general network - not sure if it makes sense/important to use different wire colors, hence the question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted January 27, 2014 Yes that would be network and it does have a code. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
