    The code is here: IgLou Support :: Telephone Wire Color Codes

    The wires are referred to as Pair 1, pair 2 etc. and they have polarity of "Tip" and "Ring"

    The solid colors are obsolete now. You should have purchased a jack that had a small punch down block on it and the colors would have been on there.

    BUT, there are two wiring schemes TIA 568A and TIA 568B and they are both marked on the jack. Fun, isn't it. See: http://www.sundance-communications.c...4;t=000159;p=2
