Make Ethernet cable
Ethernet cable uses the category-5 twisted pair composed of eight cores that are
identified and grouped by their insulation layer colors. Usually a unicolor wire and
the white/unicolor wire for it are in pairs. But sometimes, color dots are used to
indicate which wires belong in pairs.
