Connect Traveler Wires Between Switches

What happens here

The 14/3 electrical wire, containing black, white, red, and bare ground conductors, is used to establish the traveler connections between the two 3-way switches. In this demonstration, the red and white wires from the 14/3 cable are designated as the traveler wires (the black wire from 14/3 is unused or used for something else not shown). Connect the red traveler wire to one of the two brass (traveler) terminals on the first 3-way switch. Similarly, connect the white traveler wire (re-identified as hot if not already red or black) to the other brass (traveler) terminal on the first switch. Repeat this process for the second 3-way switch, ensuring the corresponding red and white traveler wires from the 14/3 cable connect to the two brass (traveler) terminals on the second switch. Maintain consistency: one color to one brass terminal, the other color to the other brass terminal on both switches.

Goal: Properly connect the traveler wires between the two 3-way switches.
