However the advent of metallic connectors like the fc and st made connector color coding difficult so colored strain relief boots were often used. Orange black or gray was used to identify multimode cables while yellow was used for single mode ones. The optical fiber color coding is also practical for fiber optic engineers during splicing because the colorful fibers also help ensure the continuity of color codes throughout a cable run. This makes a good study guide for the foa cfot and cfos c exams.

Custom specific color code systems are available on request. Since the earliest days of fiber optics orange black or gray was multimode and yellow singlemode. Each fiber number has a color assigned to it. They are also color coded for easy use and identification.

In the early day it was simple. Fibers tubes and ribbons in fiber optic cables are marked with different colors and bar codes to facilitate identification. Guide to fiber optic connectors. More on fiber optic connector and cable color codes.

The tia 568 color code for connector bodies and or boots is beige for multimode fiber blue for singlemode fiber and green for singlemode apc angled connectors.
