Each bundle of 25 pairs is coded in this manner. To distinguish a
wire, you need to look at both wires in the pair. W/Bl, which is
White/Blue, is a wire with a wide spiral of white and narrow of blue.
Whereas Bl/W, Blue/White has a wide spiral of Blue with a narrow
spiral of white.
In our installation, the term used for each bundle was a 'bin'. I'm
not sure if this is what is used out in the rest of the industry.
If you have more than one bin of 25 pairs in a cable, each bin of is
surrounded by tracers which use a color scheme similar to the wires.
For example, if you had a 200 pair cable, you would have 8 bins of 25
pairs each.

I hope this is useful. This is all from the back of my memory and
some old notes I have. I haven't worked for the Data Communication
group in a while so I can't vouch for the accuracy this information.
