Color sequence of stranded optical cable splices

The standard fiber strand sequence is blue, orange, green, brown, slate, white, red, black, yellow, violet, rose and aqua. Cable jacket colors usually identify the fiber type: yellow for OS1/OS2 single-mode, orange for OM1/OM2 multimode, aqua for OM3, aqua or violet for.
