"As part of your CCIE practical trace this yellow cable"



I don't have a caption for that incredible patch work display. Simply amazing.

The CCIE comment is great though.

Incredible. I only use yellow on crossover cables, grey for straight ones. But I somehow doubt it would look any better in grey.

I gotta show this to the guy who decided that we use VMWare. I'm sure he'll have a good laugh.

Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.

reminds me of when Schwab came out with a color code for all wiring:
10 mb ethernet windows - green
100 mb ethernet windows - yellow
voice - grey
crossover - orange
windows servers - blue
unix servers - pink
vru servers - purple
management connections to nodes - red
external connections - black

they stopped it about 2 months into the program due to costs associated with the purchase of cabling and the outages required to change cables. :S

This is what cracks me up....

I have always known the following

Red - Crossover
Green - Roll over
Other colors as you determine for standard Ethernet.

Lots of blue and gray there.

Fiber

Orange - Multi Mode
Yellow - Single Mode

That last time I bought crossover cables, my supplier would sell me any color I wanted...as long as it was orange.

I have here genuine Cisco rollover cables in green, light-blue, and black. So even Cisco can't decide what color they should be.

That sound alot like our confusing naming standard we seem to revise every year. We joke you don't know what the server does or where it is, but you can tell how old it is by which standard of follows. :S

Unix got pink? Bet that peeved off some people. ;)
