The tip wire has a wide band that is the tip color and a narrow stripe that is the ring color. Is this what you were looking for? I culled this from staring at telephone wiring and looking at advertisements for mod-tap connectors, so I may be all hosed. -- William C. DenBesten is denbeste@bgsu.edu or denbesten@bgsuopie.bitnet

Sure. I've got a half a dozen USOC books on the shelf, but what you _say_ you want won't be in them. Here is a diagram of a typical block. An article I saw in one of the trade magazines recently actually called one of the colors "grey". Folks who don't know that much, shouldn't own a punch-down tool. The color is "slate". Promise me that if you need help, you'll call a professional. Don't mess with anything you can't afford to replace. [Our moderator asked me to reformat this chart prior to publication.
