Many phone companies have updated their color standards due to
the use of Cat 5 cable for most phone line installs, and keep
residential and business installs in line with each other. In the new
standard, there is no green, red, black or yellow wires, they have
been replaced by white/blue, blue/white, white/orange, and
orange/white. If the wire is primarily orange with white stripes
then that color is orange/white. Refer to the table below. The NID
labels will most likely have the old coloring scheme on them, and
most telephone wiring components you can purchase will still
reflect the original colors.
NOTE:
If the unit will be connected with an
alarm system, you must connect the telephone
line to the alarm system first in the series from
the Telco box. If the units are not connected in
this order, they will not operate properly.
