What do these 'Cable Colour' Options Mean?

There are two colour elements to any of our crimp cable assemblies: (1) the colour of the cable jacket, and (2) the colour(s) of the strain relief boots at the connectors. As a general rule, the colour of the strain relief boots is dictated by the cable application; for example, a component video cable, by convention, comes with the connector boots colour-coded red, green, and blue, while a single cable used for digital audio comes with an orange boot.

Whenever we offer a 'cable colour' option, this refers to the colour of the cable jacket--that is, the colour of the cable between the connectors and strain relief boots. These colour options can be convenient if you need to use a cable colour which will be less conspicuous when laid in front of a painted baseboad, or if you find it easier to trace cables on your equipment rack when they are of different colours.
