DANSK DSF/IEC TR 63194 ED1 PDF

This technical report defines the need for and intent of colour coding of optical fiber cables. Further, this technical report lists the major colour codes in various Regions throughout the world. Noting that decades of discussion of a universal recommended colour coding scheme has failed to reach agreement, the technical report does not intend to promote any of the listed colour codes above any other. This technical report includes Regional information on colour coding of units, when different from the fibre code, and of jackets to convey information about the types of fibres within or the types of performance expected. [It also includes information on colours beyond the basic 12 of IEC 60304.] This technical report is not a specifiable document, but, rather, a guide to the subject.
