From what I understand it's not possible to have two-colored (striped) wires in Creo and the Cabling module, but does anyone have a workaround for this?
Brian Martin might be able to answer this. Here are a couple of links to things he has done:

(this one has a power point at the end)
If these don't help, maybe Brian can answer.
Thank you Dale, but I can't access the videos in the post 😕 I will try to the workaround Eric posted below and get back to Brian if I can't get it to work.
Like this?
This is more cosmetic and definitely not automatic...may be more work than it's worth. Here are the steps I did to create this, albeit NOT in the cabling module so your steps may vary:
See the attached file (Creo 2.0) for how I did it.
Well, all I did, was when I swept the secction, I made the section have another surface at the sketch level, an arc with the same center point, just raised a couple thousanths. You could do it by offsetting, but I think it's simpler this way, especially if the wire really twists around.
Thank you Eric! (and Frank)
