2 Group 1 has White-Blue binders, Group 2 has White-Orange binders, etc. In this manner, each pair is uniquely identified. In cables having 25-pair or less, binders are normally not used. However, if specified, the binders will be Group 1, White-Blue. For cables of 100-pair or less, the use of the White Binder is of Pair Identification ColorsGroup NumberGroup Pair CountsBinder Colors11-25 WhiteBlue226-50 WhiteOrange351-75 WhiteGreen476-100 WhiteBrown5100-125 WhiteSlate6126-150 RedBlue7151-175 RedOrange8176-200 RedGreen9201-225 RedBrown10226-250 RedSlate11251-275 BlackBlue12276-300 BlackOrange13301-325 BlackGreen14326-350 BlackBrown15351-375 BlackSlate16376-400 YellowBlue17401-425 YellowOrange18426-450 YellowGreen19451-475 YellowBrown20476-500 YellowSlate21501-525 VioletBlue22526-550 VioletOrange23551-575 VioletGreen24576-600 VioletBrownSuper-units Binder Identification ColorsIt is desirable for manufacturing purposes to combine four 25-pair groups into super units when cables have 900-pair or Binder Identification ColorsPair NumberGroup NumberBinder Color1-6001-24 White601-1,200*25-48 Red1,201-1,800*49-72 Black1,801-2,400*73-96 Yellow2,401-3.
