Coloring Cables
I have never found any use for coloring cables by "type", at least if by type it means the D-Tools defaults which relate mainly to the signal type such as "video" or "control". The problem as I see it, is that those distinctions became obsolete years ago. Category 5 for example, can be a network, audio, video or control cable (and more). Therefore it seems to me that coloring cables should be done not by signal type but by physical type such as "UTP/STP", "RG", fiber etc. Alternatively, color can be done to match the actual physical color of the cable being used (this is what I do when practical, as it can make it very easy for those pulling the wires).
How do others approach this?
