Connections on equipment seem to refer to Lines 1 and 2, or Line and Control, which suggests some sort of specific connection is needed, so I am thinking if both strands are identical, how would you remember which was which from one end of your line run to the other?

IIRC, Don 3 twisted was coloured yellow and blue. Don't recall what colour the polarity might refer to.
