• 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
  • Buffer 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)
