Marking of each mate of the primary conductor in a pair with the colour of that primary conductor is optional. When cables of larger than pairs are required, the core shall be assembled into -pair sub-units, each colour coded in accordance with ICEA publication S Cables with over 00 pairs shall have -pair binder groups combined into super units. These super units shall be wrapped with a solid colour thread that follows the primary colour scheme of white, red, black, yellow and violet. Binder colour code integrity shall be maintained wherever cables are spliced. ADDISON

Group has White-Blue binders. Group has White-Orange binders, etc. In this manner, each pair is uniquely identified. In cables having pairs or less, binders are normally not used. However, if specified, the binders will be Group, White-Blue. For cables of pairs or less, the use of the White binder is optional.
