According to the color code, the number of pairs of conductors in a cable that can be defined

• A. 50 pairs
• B. Up to 25 pairs
• C. 15 pairs
• D. 30 pairs

Answer: (B)

The color code defines up to 25 pairs by combining five base conductor colors with five stripe colors to create 25 unique pair identifiers. Each pair is identified by a solid color and the same color with a white stripe, producing combinations that total 25 distinct pairs. If more than 25 pairs are needed, you’d use additional coding blocks or higher-capacity cables, but a single color code set covers 25 pairs, which is why the correct choice is that you can define up to 25 pairs.
