This Standard covers fiber optic communications cables intended for use in the buildings of communications users. Materials, constructions and performance requirements are included in the Standard, together with applicable test procedures. (ICEA) standards and guideline publications, of which the document contained herein is one, are developed through a voluntary consensus standards development process. While ICEA administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the development of consensus, it does not independently test, evaluate. By adopting the TIA/EIA‑598C standard, you gain a universal “language” of colors that speeds identification, reduces miswiring, and enhances safety across cable jackets, connectors, buffer tubes, and splice trays. Error Reduction: A standardized palette prevents costly mis‑splices and.
