Alternative colour code for cat6? Strange colours lol

[PHM]

Hi
I just got some cat6 cable and found the cables are coloured differently than what i'm used to and I can't find a wiring diagram to fit this cable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Peter

They look like standard colors to me.

really, they look nothing like the diagrams or other cables I have used. would you have a diag I could see? Please note I am a novice at this type of wiring, should probably have said that lol

Standard colors as far as I can tell.
In your picture left to right:
Blue / blue:white
Green / green:white
Orange / orange:white
Brown / brown:white

The "white" wires don't have the normal colored stripe on them like most CAT5/5e, but it's still the same color scheme as every other standard ethernet cable. Just use the white/light colored wire that is wrapped around the solid wire as if it was the striped wire of the same color (i.e. white wire around the brown is white/brown).

they actually look like a brown pair and a slate pair... but who cares. just use the brown as orange and the slate as brown. colors dont really matter, it just keeps things easy when you have to re-terminate an end.

It is bad color in the photo. Those colors are the typical blue green orange brown in cat6 / cat6a. The "slate" is actually a pale blue, the brown is well brown but often looks tan in the light. I have many boxes of cable using that "light color." It plays hell on the colorblind though.

Orange/white-orange-green/white-blue-blue/white-green-brown/white-brown

The orange there looks like most browns, but the brown is so dark as to not be confusable with any other color. Pretty standard.
