Why Fibre Optics?
For cables above 12 fibre the colours are repeated but with some form of variation.
The identification can vary between manufacturers however a common method is:
1st 12 fibres - solid colours as above
2nd 12 fibres - same solid colours with 1 x stripe or dot.
3rd 12 fibres - same solid colours with 2 x stripes or dots.

Fibre optics is now replacing copper wire as the preferred means of communication signal transmission. Optical fibre communication can interconnect links over a far greater area and can do so at much faster rates than traditional copper networks. The end result is more data can be transferred at greater speeds over longer distances. For all your fibre optic product needs
What is Fibre Optic Cable?
Fibre optic cable consists of a glass core and cladding which is the medium that allows light to transmit along the length of the cable. The core and cladding is then packaged within the cable outer jacket in a variety of ways depending on the type of cable construction and the application (ie. direct bury, indoor, overhead, etc). Standard core sizes for fibre optic cable are 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 fibre and then normally increase in multiples of 12 fibres (ie 24, 36, 48, 60...).
The Advantages of Fibre Optic Cable
Distance: Signals can be easily transmitted further without the need to be strengthened or "regenerated".
Speed: Fibre optic cable networks operate at high speeds and can transmit data into the gigabits.
Bandwidth: Fibre cable has a large information carrying capacity.
Maintenance: Fibre optic cables cost much less to maintain.
Resistance: Fibre cable systems provide greater resistance to electromagnetic interferences from sources such as nearby electrical cables, motors, radios, etc.
Higher carrying capacity: Fibre optic cable is much thinner than copper cores, which means more fibres can be bundled into a given-diameter cable.
Non-flammable: No electricity is passing through fibre cable so there is no fire hazard risk.
Industry Standard Colour Code
Fibre optic cables are terminated using an industry standard colour code for fibre identification. These colours are:
- Blue
- Orange
- Green
- Brown
- State
- White
- Red
- Black
- Yellow
