Matching Cat5 wiring to telco "Quad" wiring.

Posts: 7 · New Forum Member Joined: Mar 12, 2006 Posts: 7

From reading the primer on hard-wiring, the blue and light blue in the CAT5 should be used for line 1. Question is what colors are they supposed to match up to:

Red - Blue?
Green - White/Blue?

And what about line 2?

Or the other way around? I'm sure there is a page floating around here describing this.

Thanks, Mike

[EDIT: The color coding for the second line would depend on whether you intended to use the same CAT5 cable for ethernet as well.]

Perfect - I knew I had run across that page at some point. No plans to use it for ethernet, I'd run a seprate line if I did. Wireless G has my house covered for now. Thanks Much - Mike
