Custom Color Fiber Optic Cables

Since fiber optic cables came into use for telecommunications, Internet and entertainment industry applications, some default color coding for the different types of cables became industry standard. Generally, single mode fiber optic cables (both OS1s and OS2s) have yellow cable jackets While multimode OM1 and OM2 cables are orange, OM3s are aqua, OM4s are aqua or violet, and OM5s are lime green.

While the standard colors may be helpful for contractors and installers, these basic color differences between the different generations of fiber optic cables do little to help the end user, who probably doesn’t use more than one or two types of fiber cabling. This leaves employees and organizations with equipment, switch panels and server rooms full of cables that all look the same, even though many cables plugged into the same panel may function as parts of several different systems or applications.

Cables.com offers you the option of color-coding your system based on your preferences, with no need to keep to the standard-issue jackets you'll find from other sellers. It's your optical fiber connection, on your terms. So if you'd like to purchase an OM4 50/125 LC to SC fiber cable with a green jacket, you can do so! It's the same quality-made 40 GB Datacomm Multimode fiber optic cable typically available in aqua blue, featuring a riser rated jacket with expertly manufactured duplex connectors on either end.
