Well, the best way to use it would be to double twisted pairs as like
conductors, but you'd have to do your own breakout for that. It would be
well worth it.
i.e.:
BLU - 5V
BLU/WHT - 5V
GRN - GND
GRN/WHT - GND
BRN - DATA
BRN/WHT - DATA

What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you? Monitors network bandwidth and traffic
patterns at an interface-level. Reveals which users, apps, and protocols are
consuming the most bandwidth. Provides multi-vendor support for NetFlow,
J-Flow, sFlow and other flows. Make informed decisions using capacity
planning reports. https://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/305295220;132659582;e
