We recommend using short 18 AWG solid wires for ground connections. • GE VPD products follow the EIA/TIA 568 standard. There are two wire color- code standards: EIA/TIA 568A and EIA/TIA 568B. Either standard can be used for making connections as long as the RJ-45 jacks at both ends of each cable follow the same standard.
