There are several common colour codes used for cables, depending on the type of cable and its intended use. Here are some examples:
- In electrical wiring, the colour coding for live wires is typically red or brown, neutral wires are typically black or blue, and earth wires are typically green or yellow.
- In networking cables, such as Ethernet cables, the colour coding for the twisted pairs inside the cable is typically as follows: white/blue and blue, white/orange and orange, white/green and green, white/brown and brown.
- In audio/video cables, such as RCA cables, the colour coding for the different channels is typically red for right audio, white for left audio, and yellow for video.
It's important to always check the specific colour coding standards for the type of cable you are working with to ensure proper installation and connection.
