- Typical large count fiber cables come organized into separate groups of color coded tubes called buffer tubes
- Each buffer tube contain 12 strands of fiber
- The 12 strands are color coded: blue, orange, green, brown, slate, white, red, black, yellow, violet, rose, and aqua
- Each buffer tube is also color coded in the same way: blue, orange, green, brown, etc.
- Because buffer tubes contain 12 strands of fiber, fiber cables
- Strands of fiber optics will be color coded
- Fiber optic cables typically come in counts of 12 (12, 24, 36, 48...)Fiber optic cables separate groups of 12 strands in color coded groupings called buffer tubes
- Below is the color coding for up to 144 count fiber optic cable (144 strands of fiber, separated into 12 buffer tubes)
