27、tandard.) This Standard provides all necessary information for color coding optical fiber cables in a uniform manner. This Standard was formulated as TIA Standards Proposal number 3555 under the cognizance of TIA FO-4.2, Subcommittee on Optical Fibers and Cables, formerly TIA FO-6.7, Subcommittee on

28、 Optical Fiber Cables, by former Working Group FO-6.7.10, Color Coding.This issue replaces the previous issue of ANSI/EIA/TIA Standard 598 dated 2001. Changes include the following: designation of Aqua (AQ) as jacket color for indoor cable containing laser-optimized (LO) 50/125 m MM optical fiber de

29、signation of Blue (BL) as jacket color for indoor cable containing polarization maintaining fiber Expanding the color definition for Slate (SL), and Adding color definitions from ANSI/EIA Standard 359-A, Colors for Color Identification and Coding, for reference. This Standard contains six annexes. A

30、nnex A is normative and is considered part of this Standard. Annexes B, C, D, E, and F are informative and are not considered part of this Standard.

32、,-TIA-598-C 1Optical Fiber Cable Color Coding 1 Scope This standard defines the recommended identification scheme or system for individual fibers, fiber units, and groups of fiber units within a cable structure. The methods contained herein may be used to identify and locate specific fibers for the

33、purpose of connection, termination, or testing within a communication system or for the topography of long haul, feeder route, subscriber, or distribution applications for both on-premises and outside plant use. This standard also defines the optical fiber type identification scheme for color coding

34、 or marking jackets for premises cables used primarily indoors. Cables with colored jackets are typically used only in intrabuilding applications and must be listed to a level of fire resistance specific to their use. The jacket materials used can be colored for identification purposes. Conversely,

35、most cables deployed outdoors must incorporate additives in the jacket material to be able to withstand the damaging effects of solar radiation over their designed operating lifetime. Such products typically contain carbon black material to provide the requisite level of protection, which precludes

36、the use of any jacket color other than black. Although color-compatible materials designed to resist solar radiation are available for outdoor use, and other means for color-coding black jackets are possible (i.e., colored striping), the use of such materials and methods are beyond the scope of this

37、 standard. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through references in this text, constitute provisions of this Standard.

44、 terms of its color, unit, group, and/or position. The following scheme applies to cables in which the fibers are physically separated. For cables in which individual fibers are identified by fixed positional configuration (e.g., some ribbon cable, slotted core), this color scheme is preferred but i

Copyright Telecommunications Industry Association Provided by IHS under license with EIANot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-TIA-598-C 33.1 Individual fibers All fibers shall be discernibly and uniquely color coded using the preferred me

46、thod in accordance with one of the alternatives given in Table 1, or the surrogate method given in annex C (informative), Table C-11). The identification may be by coloring, by printed legend, by printed block coding, or by other unique methods meeting the intent of this Paragraph and as agreed upon

47、 by the manufacturer and the user. If a printed legend is used in lieu of actual color coding for identification, the legend shall consist of the numerical position number or the color abbreviation, or both, as listed in Table 1. If printed block coding is used, it shall consist of printed blocks an

48、d bar or hachure marks corresponding to the numerical position. A sample scheme is illustrated in Table 2; this marking scheme may be extended as necessary. 3.2 Fiber units Units are primary groupings of individual fibers. Examples of units include, but are not limited to: buffer tubes which contain

49、 individual fibers; multi-fiber ribbons; fibers bundled by threads or tape; and the slots of slotted-core cables, when the fibers within each slot are not otherwise grouped or connected. When a number of fibers (e.g., 6, 12, 18, or 24) form a unit, the unit shall be uniquely identified in accordance with one of the alternatives given in Table 1 or Table C-1 as described i
