- Typical large count fiber cables come organized into separate groups of color coded jackets 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 tubesBuffer tubes are color coded in the same sequence
- Below is the color coding for up to 144 count fiber optic cable (144 strands of fiber, separated into 12 buffer tubes)
