Found this UTP cable once meant for telephones, want to reuse it for Ethernet. Is there some official translation of this color code to what is common on TP cable for Ethernet?

Now that I know this cable is called PTT-298, I found that apparently lots of people managed to get 1 Gb/s Ethernet working on it.
