Cat 6 wire color - any rules/best practices?

Recommended Posts

Sorry for a newbie Q: I'll be running Cat 6 wire in a newly built house for data & video - are there any rules/best practices/etc. re wire color, like blue for video and grey for data? Just curious, since monoprice has so many choices...

I use blue for data and grey for cameras.

I'll second Tomscave in a way- when I see blue utp I automatically think data. Grey is what I tend to pick if wiring is going to be exposed to view.

I've meant the runs for IP cameras vs. general network - not sure if it makes sense/important to use different wire colors, hence the question.

I use Blue since I don't want my video cables to stand out
