Indoor Color of Multimode Optical Cable
OM2 is 50 micron fiber, which provides a much better modal bandwidth than OM1, 500 MHz. However, there are some early OM2 cable installed that is orange, so always check the markings to make sure. OM3 is a laser-optimized multimode fiber (LOMMF) designed for high-speed networks using VCSELs (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers). The aqua color (hex: #00B6C1) is instantly recognizable and signals support for 10, 40, or 100 Gb/s over short distances — up to 300 meters at 10G. Fiber Optic Color Code Explained Written by Ben Hamlitsch, trueCABLE Technical and Product Innovation Manager RCDD, FOI We are surrounded by colors. This standardized fiber optic color coding system helps prevent costly connection errors while dramatically.
