Optical cables are classified according to their laying method

According to the laying method, there are self-supporting overhead optical cable, pipeline optical cable, armored buried optical cable and submarine optical cable. Indoor optical cables are mainly used in the laying of horizontal subsystems and vertical backbone subsystems. The laying of horizontal subsystem fiber optic cables is very similar to twisted pair cables, except that due to the poorer tensile properties of fiber optic cables, more care should be. There are various optical cable types, according to the laying method, structure, purpose, transmission method, etc, they can be divided into different types, let's see flowing details.

The buffer or jacket on patch cords is often color-coded to indicate the type of fiber used. The strain relief boot that protects the fiber from bending at a connector is color-coded to indicate the type of connection. Connectors with a plastic shell (such as SC connectors) typically use a color-coded shell. Standard color codings for jackets (or buffers) and boots (or connector shells) are shown below: Remark: It is also possible that a small part of a connector is additionally color-coded, e.g., the lever o
