Note that the "A leg" (white and red) do not have any identifying colour bands to match the correct B leg as internal cable has. To identify the correct colour coding pairs in the lay of the cable, requires approx .5+ of a meter of outer sheafing removed and to carefully separate the twisted pairs, A and B legs together.  

Please remember this extra meter or so when ordering this type of cable.


The above colour codes repeat in bundles of 10's identified by coloured lapping tape
