Ultimately, questions about the physical connection must be answered. Whereas copper connections rarely have a significant signal loss impact in AV applications, fiber connections do have measurable impact at each interface point within a distribution system. Unlike the steadfast, ubiquitous BNC connector used for copper coaxial wiring in AV, fiber connectors are evolving with the maturity of fiber technology. In this issue, we will look at the Subscriber Connector - SC, Straight Tip- ST, Fixed Connection - FC, and Lucent - LC fiber connectors, their application, performance, and their termination requirements. In the last issue of Technically Speaking, I presented the basic characteristics and considerations for the fiber conductor.

Which equipment transmission format should be used: analog or digital? Is digital transmission hardware available? Does this application require multimode or singlemode fiber? How do I deal with the customer's existing installed fiber? What fiber connectors do I use? Figure 1: ST style connectors - booted black tip pictured above and unbooted below. The fiber transmission solution is still a serious investment consideration requiring careful planning and implementation. A fiber solution may sound like a great idea for those challenging long-haul or highly secure applications, and then reality sets in. Optical fiber transmission of AV signals has come of age and it's time to take another step along this new, adventurous road. Knowing the fiber color codes is good for fiber core splicing, allocation, reservation, and backup.By Steve Somers, Vice President of Engineering The colors of the cores are: blue, orange, green, brown, slate, and white. For example, a 24-core fiber optic cable has four bundle tubes, they are blue, orange, green, and brown tubes. The colors of the bundle tubes and cores are arranged in color order. The core is in a white tube.įor optical cables with more than 12 cores, the commonly used stranded optical cable is composed of multiple bundle tubes, lining tubes, and fiber cores. Generally, the central bundle tube type fiber optic cable has 4, 6, 8, 12 cores, etc. If the fiber optic cable is less than 12 cores, it can be installed with a bundle tube, then 12 colors of fiber cores can be placed in a bundle tube. Similar colors are not easy to distinguish for myopic friends. As for why there are 12 colors, it is because 12 typical colors are selected from many colors to help distinguish and identify. The order of the national standard cores is: blue, orange, green, brown, slate, white, red, black, yellow, violeta, rose and aqua.

Generally, the full chromatographic identification is adopted. The color of the optical fiber and the sleeve in the optical cable is to facilitate us to remember the corresponding relationship between the cores and to prevent errors in the core connection. Today, the author specially drew a sequence diagram of all colors of optical fibers, which is convenient for everyone to remember, and is handy for future work as a reference. Splicers who work in optical fiber communication engineering often worry about memorizing the color sequence of optical fibers.
