The coloring on individual conducting wires usually does not indicate a size or rating but rather the standard or preferred use of the wire. For example, black and red wires typically are used for currentcarrying or "hot" connections, and ___ wires usually are grounded "neutral" conductors. Green-insulated wires and bare copper wires are used for grounding wires.

When selecting cables for a structured wiring system or computer hookups, the best choice is to select a cable that has a. untwisted pairs of conductors. b. twisted pairs of conductors.
It is generally understood that grounding and bonding together all metal parts of an electrical system and the metal shield of the cable television cable to the same grounding reference point in a residence will keep both systems at the same voltage level should a surge, such as lightning, occur. Therefore, if the incoming cable that has been installed by the CATV cable company installer has the metal shield grounded to a driven ground rod, does this installation conform to the NEC? ___________
