For those of you who are using color codes for cable length, how is your code ?
This is just for fun.
Where I work the color code is taken from the biggest rental place in the country (which also happens to be a whirlwind retailer).
All our cables are Canare quad with Whirlwind/Neutrik connectors, laser marked with company logo and with a color code (with neutrik color sleeves) on one end only (Male for XLR, Female for Power/Signal combo cables for monitors) so that the visible end to the audience is always black.
Cables that don't have neutrik connectors are marked with electric tape with clear heat shrink over.
2M: Gray
5M: Red
10M: White
15M: Green
20M: Blue
30M: Yellow
Not sure if the color code goes further. If we have something over 30M it's usually on a cable drum. and not color coded.
