## What is 25 Pair Color Code?

Easy to use, 25 Pair Color Code expanding chart. Search for pairs by color code, sheath count, custom start pair #, cable count (including dead count) or reverse cable count.

Supported cable types:
25 pair common (25 to 900 pair cable)
100 pair bundle (900 to 3000 pair cable)
300 pair bundle (3600 to 4200 pair cable)

**The 100 pair bundle selection comes in handy while working in pulp cables too! (Gives you the 100pr bundle to look for tone.) 

 This app shall be used only as a handy secondary reference tool as we know there are mistakes made in the field and incorrect records that always need to be taken into account. Use of a tone source as a primary identifier will always be more accurate.

 Locate color codes with or without cable counts using the 'Find a Pair' option. Click the Search icon at the top right and enter a Sheath Pair # without a cable count or enter a 'Cable,Pair' if using a cable count (app auto detects if there is a cable count or not). The app will then auto expand and place index pointers at the pair's found locations and also places the searched for pair's 25 pair combination in the title bar.

~Input Cable Count Screen
While not necessary to use in the app. You can enter a full complex cable count that can be split into the cable type of your choice (common 25 pair, 100 pair bundle or 300 pair bundle). 

1) Select the round Cable Type button
2) Enter cable count
3) Optionally select a position to save count to
4) Click the "Color Code" button

 Saving a cable by position turns the Search Button Icon and related cable count text box borders to a distinguishable color for keeping track of which cable is being currently used within the app.
Cable1 = Blue
Cable2 = Orange
Cable3 = Green
Custom Start Pair (Without cable count) = Red
Unsaved count or Start pair is #1 = Slate

Smart Save radio button color key:
Green = vacant
Black = existing count stored
Red = existing count to be overwritten
Blue = saved successfully

To remove a previously saved cable count. Select the position to be deleted and long click the Clear button.

~Double Space Auto Punctuation:
  Easily enter a cable count using the apps built in double space auto-punctuation feature by:
1) Enter cable name followed by 2 spaces (app automatically places a comma)
2) Enter the low pair range followed by 2 spaces (app automatically places a dash)
3) Enter the high pair range followed by 2 spaces (app automatically drops down for next line of count)

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-04-28*

App seems to function well. Any chance we could get an Apple Watch compatible app. An easy way to double check yourself without having to dig out your phone would be awesome.

**Developer response:** Thanks Bronco! No promises, but I will take a look into it. After working many years in the underground and icky pic I understand. Usually I'd write the numeric or an abbreviated CC location on the back of my hand when going in after a pair.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2021-01-26*

I’m a trade school student and need to know the 25 Pair color scheme.  I also need to know what group, pair range, binder color and super unit specific pairs fall in. This app is an invaluable tool.  Thanks for developing it!!

**Developer response:** Thanks! Great to hear you found the best tool for your requirements. Best of luck in your training / studies!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 5.11 — 2021-03-23

Removed the recently added send count as text button due to text messaging length limitations and other considerations. The app will still be able to receive counts through the copper://icc?count= url scheme from other sources like email, web text link and other possible paperless sources including my soon to be released cable count splicing app. Thanks for your patience.

URL scheme Examples:


Without a count:

copper://


With single line of count:

copper://icc?count=22ca,1-600


With multi-lines of count:

copper://icc?count=22ca,1-600%0A3ca,1201-1500%0A22ca,901-1200


multi-line separator = %0A (percent symbol, zero, capital "A")

### 5.10 — 2021-03-16

~Made correction to URL scheme.
~Updated occupied radio buttons color from black to slate while in dark mode.
~Added a share count button to the ICC screen that encodes the count with the new URL scheme.
~Added support for app users that require a colon as a cable name an pair range separator. ex. 22ca:151-450
~Made into Mac app. Release in near future.

Thanks for your support! In the next few weeks be sure to stop back here and check out my new app project in the "More by" section.  A user can enter up to 10 cable counts that all get checked for matching counts. When there is a match, the matching counts will then get a corresponding colored block next to it in an easy to read parsed count display. The new app will use the new URL scheme that has been added to open this app and my Fiber Optic CC app with the selected count depending on the user entered grouping configuration.

### 5.08 — 2021-03-10

This update adds the requirement of using a host and key value parameter for the new url scheme. This structure will provide more options with future development.

For users that work with cable counts. This update implements a url scheme to use links with cable counts to open the app and have the counts automatically placed in it. End user will need to configure cable type. See my Fiber Optic Color Code app for a fiber:// url scheme. Thanks!!

Examples:

Without a count:
copper://

With single line of count:
copper://icc?count=22ca,1-600

With multi-lines of count:
copper://icc?count=22ca,1-600%0A3ca,1201-1500%0A22ca,901-1200

copper = app
"icc" = Input Cable Count screen
"count" = parameter key name
your count with multi-line separator (value) = %0A (percent symbol, zero, capital "A")

Possible usage:
Send counts as a link by text message.
Send counts by link in email.
Make clickable cable counts on a webpage.
And other paperless solutions.

### 5.03 — 2021-03-08
