Fiber Color Code: Basic Guide

EIA/TIA-598 is a globally recognized fiber optic color coding standard that specifies the outer jacket of fiber optic patch cords, fiber optic connectors, and optical fiber colors to help better

Application Notes

The cable sheath which provides the optimal balance between robustness and economics for the OSP service to be provided and environment to be encountered is the sheath design that will ultimately

Fiber Color Code: Identify Optic Cable

The outer jacket of a fiber optic cable often has a specific color to indicate the type or application of the fiber optic cable. In TIA-598, the fiber color code defines the outer jacket color

Code designation for cables

A cable code of 2 - 4 letters is used to descriebe the construction.

OUTER JACKET MATERIALS

Please refer to the Product Specifications sections located in the OCC Product Catalog for the various cable types and fiber counts available with the various jacket materials, or call OCC Sales to discuss

CORNING OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS GENERIC
