Ha! How excellent. I'd be curious to know what mnemonic you used to memorize the order. Here in the US we had some that were not dinner table friendly. 😆
interesting the tracer wires in the 25pair represents 6.7,8,9,10 in fiber color code and for the 50 pair the each group is color coded like a fiber loose tube blue for first group and orange-white for second group just like tube number 1 and loose tube number 2...makes alot of sense
Or, politically incorrect White, Red, Black, Yellow, Violet - Why Run Backwards You Varmint.And Blue, Orange, Green, Brown, Slate. Boy On Girl Brings Satisfaction. Phone company taught us that ... but doubt it does now in this politically correct world. You can delete this if you wish, I understand.
It's also known as a 'strength member' making the pulling of cable less perilous for the copper wires inside, but 'dental floss' works well as it's more descriptive. Incidentally, there has been more than one occasion after a quick lunch that I actually USED the stuff as floss .... why not?
Your wrong on 1 point regarding a 50 pr. There are 4 groups, 2 w-bl, and 2 w-o. Having 2 twelve pr and 2 thirteen pr groups The reason is to make the cable round not oblong.
Exactly, most of the audience here would probably never touch UG or outside plant cables. That more of a thing the regional bell companies do. Thanks for chiming-in. 😊
Actually depends on the manufacturer, eg: garland is 5*10, prysmian 5*10, but prysmian do everything in 10's for 10/20/25/50/100/200 they dont use the WRBYV where garland run with it for 10/20/25/100, only differing for 50
same with 25 pairs, the only difference is that you will use each color as a binder. for a 50 pair cable they use w/b, for 1st 25 pr is w/b and the other 25 is w/o. and for 200 pr cable they use again w/b for for 1st 100 and the 1st 25 is w/bl, 2nd 25 is w/o, 3rd 25 is w/g and last is w/br. the other 100 using w/o binder with same binder color for each 25 pair.
This bought back memories, here in Australia 40+ years ago I learnt this, and as soon as I saw the title Blue, Orange Green Brown Slate came back.

Boy On Girl Brings Satisfaction...Why Run Backwards You Varmint?...is how we remembered the code @ CT&T, 1977, you're welcome...
I remember hearing “the why run backwards ..” years ago. But that one the 5 pair colors is new to me. Thanks for sharing 😊
I learned it:
Boys On Girls BRing Smiles.
Why Run Back Young Virgin.
We call the "dental floss", a "pull string".

Hello ,exist tester or meter for control wire sequance like ftp tester but for too many wire (50 pin) thanks you
can you use it as 24 pair, as in 6x gigabit?
I wouldn’t recommend using these large cables for data faster than 100Mbps.
New students of 2021.thanks alot
They do make a tool to cut the sheat without nicking the wire. I have one someplace have not used it in 20 or 30 years, things one keeps.
You sound like you’re from the old guard. 😊

haha! Excellent Gordon! yeah, my Dad taught me a few other versions that were not suitable for general audience. 😉
The more outrageous memory tricks are the most effective, good old violet was a great gal

Yeah , she was generous lady. 😊
Oh my I had no idea bout the dental floss.. that's useful!

After 42 years in telephone that string found in house cable is called “string”. Those plastic wrappings as you called them are called binder groups.
@@yqwgjsg Awww, you're no fun. Little jingles and word gags help the day go away faster.

Interesting. Thanks for the comment Scott. To be clear i was never a lineman or outside plant guy. 😁
@@DIYTelecom Roger that DIY .... go tell it to the cable splicers, we're talking basic pairs up to 25.

Yeah, that’s all kinda beyond my scope. But thanks for adding to the conversations. I love the dialog. 😁
Expaim at 2oo pair cable sr
same with 25 pairs, the only difference is that you will use each color as a binder. for a 50 pair cable they use w/b, for 1st 25 pr is w/b and the other 25 is w/o. and for 200 pr cable they use again w/b for for 1st 100 and the 1st 25 is w/bl, 2nd 25 is w/o, 3rd 25 is w/g and last is w/br. the other 100 using w/o binder with same binder color for each 25 pair.
