Jumper Wire Color Standard?

I was just wondering if there is any standard/T.O. that would have a Jumper Wire color reference sheet.
Example being: Red Jumper - Alarms, Blue Jumper - Telephone, Green Jumper - Circuits...etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

That seems to be the standard at most organized bases. I just can't find it in writing anywhere. My new super (radar guy) wants me to find it for him. The Offutt standard is whatever color is sitting near by.

I'm not sure if there is anything in writing, but I'll ask around I'm sure somebody might know.

I have never seen a documented standard for the jumper wire. what ever you pick needs to be your base standard, if you want pink to be the standard for your base then make it the standard. Just enforce what ever you set. At Offutt in the olden days we had ckts as green alarms red and black as numbers. enjoy the standards a some places dont follow anything install to work and move on.

Never seen anything in TO 31-10-11 that mandates color coding jumpers by type of circuit. Never been at a base that did that. Don't know why you'd want to add the expense/hassle of ordering different colors.

In Civilian life (the real world) in all Dmarc points it seems that what ever is on your truck or laying around will work just fine especially if you go into some of the old buildings
