This Standard provides all necessary information for color coding optical fiber cables in a uniform manner. This Standard was formulat
25、ed as TIA Standards Proposal number ANSI/TIA-PN-598-D (old PN SP-3-3555-RV3-A) under the cognizance of TIA TR-42.12, Subcommittee on Optical Fibers and Cables. This issue replaces the previous issue of TIA Standard 598, TIA-598-C, dated 2005. Changes include the following: Addition of text from EIA-
26、359-A specifying the lighting conditions for visual assessment of color standards. Updating the jacket color coding scheme for indoor cable to current fiber specifications and adding a new fiber type, aligning this standard with TIA-568-C.3. Changed “premises” to “indoor”, throughout, to harmonize t
27、erminology with International standards. This Standard contains six annexes. Annex 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. Key words: fiber identification, color identification, identification sch

ANSI/TIA-PN-598-D 1 Optical 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 b
29、e used to identify and locate specific fibers for the 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 indoor and outside plant use. This standard also defines the optical
30、fiber type identification scheme for color coding or marking jackets for military cables or indoor cables. 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 colore
31、d for identification purposes. Conversely, 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 requ
32、isite level of protection, which precludes 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 materia
33、ls and methods are beyond the scope of this standard. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through references in this text, constitute provisions of this Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision

41、ly identifiable in 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
42、is preferred but is not mandatory. 3.1 Individual fibers All fibers shall be discernibly and uniquely color coded using the preferred method 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
43、coloring, by printed legend, by printed block coding, or by other unique methods meeting the intent of this Paragraph and as agreed upon 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
44、 number or the color abbreviation, or both, as listed in Table 1. If printed block coding is used, it shall consist of printed blocks and 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 Fib
45、er units Units are primary groupings of individual fibers. Examples of units include, but are not limited to: buffer tubes which contain 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
46、 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 in 3.1. 3.3 Fiber groups Groups are collections of units. Examples of groups include, but a
47、re not limited to: buffer tubes which contain ribbons, bundled fibers, or other fiber units; the slots of slotted-core cables, when the fibers in each slot are grouped in units such as ribbons; and ribbons which are assembled from two or more smaller ribbons. When a number of units form a group, the
48、 group may be uniquely identified in accordance with one of the alternatives given in Table 1 or Table C-11) as described in 3.1. 1) Table C-1 uses the IEC color abbreviations.
