Easy to use, 25 Pair Color Code expanding chart. Search for pairs by color code, sheath count, custom start pair #, cable count (including dead count) or reverse cable count.
Supported cable types:
25 pair common (25 to 900 pair cable)
100 pair bundle (900 to 3000 pair cable)
300 pair bundle (3600 to 4200 pair cable)
**The 100 pair bundle selection comes in handy while working in pulp cables too! (Gives you the 100pr bundle to look for tone.)
This app shall be used only as a handy secondary reference tool as we know there are mistakes made in the field and incorrect records that always need to be taken into account. Use of a tone source as a primary identifier will always be more accurate.
Locate color codes with or without cable counts using the Find a Pair option. Click the Search icon at the top right and enter a Sheath Pair # without a cable count or enter a Cable,Pair if using a cable count (app auto detects if there is a cable count or not). The app will then auto expand and place index pointers at the pairs found locations and also places the searched for pairs 25 pair combination in the title bar.
