Indoor optical cable (Indoor Fiber Optic Cable) is specifically designed for indoor environments. As our reliance on fast, reliable internet connectivity grows, so does the importance of. Multimode fiber optics utilize a specific designation of OM1 through OM5 (with higher numbers representing faster cables). Meanwhile, single-mode fiber uses OS1 and OS2. With all of that covered, each type of cable has a color designation, so you can tell by looking at the outer jacket what kind of. There are six fundamental colors in the visible spectrum – These are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. When we see a rainbow, we are seeing these principal spectral colors and from these colors come all other colors that we see with our eyes. By adopting the TIA/EIA‑598C standard, you gain a universal “language” of colors that speeds identification, reduces miswiring, and enhances safety. There are different types of fiber optic cables, and multi-mode fiber is one of the most widely used because it is effective and economical for communication over short to medium distances.
