Conductor labelling according to DIN 47100 in pairs Pair identification colour repetition after 45 pairs. Electronic data cables and computer cables with paired stranding. The first colour is the base colour of the strand. For multiple colour strands of the pair, the identification consists of a base colour and a ring colour. The second colour is applied as ring marking, ring width approx. 2 – 3 mm. A certain amount of blur of the identification colour at the edges and a small offset of both half rings are permitted from a manufacturing technique perspective. The manner of counting occurs from outside to inside through all layers pairwise consecutively.

Strand colours according to DIN 47100 Electronic data cables and computer cables with stranding with colour repetition after 45 strands The first colour is the base colour of the strand. For multiple colour strands, the identification marking consists of a base colour and a ring colour. The second or third colour respectively is applied as ring identification marking.
