The actual colours used may or may not match with common good practice.. But the traditional order of using the pairs in a 3-pair, (6core), telephone cable are- First: Blue/White - White/Blue Then: Orange/White - White/Orange Next: Green/White - White/Green If larger cables then goes onto Brown/White, Slate(grey)/White........ Blue/Red, Orange/Red, Green/Red, Brown/Red, Slate/Red... etc.. etc.. Historically polarity could be an issue with some devices.. (e.g. some fax machines / answering machines got a bit confused with the incorrect polarity), but most modern phones will still work even with the line reversed from the standard. [/QUOTE]
