Under the TIA/EIA-598-C standard, the universal 12-color sequence is: 1-Blue, 2-Orange, 3-Green, 4-Brown, 5-Slate (Gray), 6-White, 7-Red, 8-Black, 9-Yellow, 10-Violet, 11-Rose, and 12-Aqua. How to Identify Fibers in High-Count Cables (>12 Fibers) For cables with more than 12 strands (e. The 12-color sequence is applied twice: first to the outer Buffer Tube, and then to the individual Fiber inside it. Splicing with fusion splicers, in particular, has become an attractive method to quickly and easily connect fiber optic fibers. It features: Electrical arc fusion Automatic programs stored for different types of fibers Approximately 25 second splice time The first step is to install a splice protection sleeve on one of the fibers to be spliced Do this before stripping or cleaving! Remember to install the splice protection.
