The Ethernet color code refers to the specific standard for wiring cables in Ethernet networks. Ethernet cables have eight wires, and each must be connected to a specific pin on the RJ45 port connectors, usually found in computer systems. The wires should be connected according to the following colors: white/orange, orange, white/green, blue, white/blue, green, white/brown, and brown.
Ethernet cables use two different color codes to identify which wires are used for data transmission. The most common color code is called T-568A, which uses green, orange, blue, and brown twisted pairs for the data lines. The other color code is called T-568B and it uses orange, green, brown, and blue twisted pairs for the data lines.
