Q

What is the 6th pair color code in a 25 pair switchboard cable as is found in building telecommunications interconnections?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 25-pair color code used in standard telecom cables (major and minor color groups) • Order of major colors: White, Red, Black, Yellow, Violet • Order of minor colors: Blue, Orange, Green, Brown, Slate

💭 Think About

• First, list out pairs 1 through 6 using the major/minor color pattern – which major color starts pair 6? • Determine which minor color is used for the 6th pair when you cycle through Blue, Orange, Green, Brown, Slate. • Check how each answer choice is written (tip color / ring color) and match it to the correct major/minor combination for pair 6.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that pairs 1–5 use the first major color with all five minor colors in order. • Confirm that pair 6 starts the next major color with the first minor color in the sequence. • Check that the correct option shows the colors in both directions (color A/color B and color B/color A) matching that 6th pair.
