I、The Core Significance of Fiber Optic Color Coding(光纤颜色编码的核心意义)


In fiber optic communication networks, a single optical cable usually contains multiple fiber cores. Especially for FTTH drop cables, multi-core specifications such as 2-core and 4-core are often designed according to application needs. The core value of fiber optic color coding is to establish a unified "core identity identification system" to solve the problem of distinguishing multi-core fibers.

在光纤通讯网络中,单根光缆往往包含多根光纤芯线,尤其是FTTH皮线光缆,常根据应用需求设计2芯、4芯等多芯规格。光纤颜色编码的核心价值在于建立统一的“芯线身份标识体系”,解决多芯光纤区分难题。


For overseas B-end customers, standardized color coding can bring multiple advantages: first, improve construction efficiency, as construction personnel can quickly identify target cores without complex testing equipment, shortening wiring and splicing time; second, reduce error rates, avoid communication failures caused by core confusion, and reduce rework costs; third, facilitate later maintenance, when network problems occur, maintenance personnel can quickly locate faulty cores through colors, improving troubleshooting efficiency; fourth, ensure compatibility, color coding that meets global universal standards can ensure that SEESUO products are seamlessly compatible with communication equipment and wiring systems of different brands.

对海外B端客户而言,规范的颜色编码可带来多重优势:一是提升施工效率,施工人员无需借助复杂检测设备即可快速识别目标芯线,缩短布线与熔接时间;二是降低错误率,避免因芯线混淆导致的通讯故障,减少返工成本;三是便利后期维护,当网络出现问题时,维护人员可通过颜色快速定位故障芯线,提升排查效率;四是保障兼容性,符合全球通用标准的颜色编码可确保SEESUO产品与不同品牌的通讯设备、布线系统无缝适配。


II、Globally Accepted Fiber Optic Color Coding Standards(全球通用光纤颜色编码标准)


At present, the global fiber optic industry generally follows the IEC 60309 standard formulated by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and the TIA/EIA 598 standard formulated by the TIA/EIA (Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industries Association). The two are consistent in core color coding rules, with only slight differences in some details, and are applicable to various fiber optic cables including FTTH drop cables.

目前,全球光纤行业普遍遵循IEC(国际电工委员会)制定的IEC 60309标准及TIA/EIA(电信行业协会/电子工业协会)制定的TIA/EIA 598标准,两者在核心颜色编码规则上保持一致,仅部分细节略有差异,适用于包括FTTH皮线在内的各类光纤光缆。


1.Core Color Coding for 1-12 Core Fibers(12芯及以下光纤核心颜色编码)

1-12 cores are the most commonly used core count range for FTTH drop cables, and their color coding order is fixed, with specific correspondences as follows:Core 1: Blue; Core 2: Orange; Core 3: Green; Core 4: Brown; Core 5: Slate; Core 6: White; Core 7: Red; Core 8: Black; Core 9: Yellow; Core 10: Violet; Core 11: Rose; Core 12: Aqua

12芯及以下光纤核心颜色编码:1号芯:蓝色(Blue);2号芯:橙色(Orange);3号芯:绿色(Green);4号芯:棕色(Brown);5号芯:灰色(Slate);6号芯:白色(White);7号芯:红色(Red);8号芯:黑色(Black);9号芯:黄色(Yellow);10号芯:紫色(Violet);11号芯:粉色(Rose);12号芯:青绿色(Aqua)


2. Coding Rules for Fibers with More Than 12 Cores(12芯以上光纤编码规则)

When the number of fiber cores exceeds 12, a combined coding method of "buffer tube color + core color" is usually adopted. The buffer tube color still follows the above 12-color sequence, and the cores in each buffer tube repeat the color coding of 1-12 cores. For example, core 13 is the blue core in the first blue buffer tube, core 25 is the blue core in the second orange buffer tube, and so on. This method can realize the orderly distinction of multi-core optical cables, which is suitable for large-scale communication engineering scenarios.

当光纤芯数超过12芯时,通常采用“束管颜色+芯线颜色”的组合编码方式。束管颜色仍遵循上述12色顺序,每个束管内的芯线再重复1-12芯的颜色编码。例如,13号芯为第一个蓝色束管内的蓝色芯线,25号芯为第二个橙色束管内的蓝色芯线,以此类推。这种方式可实现多芯光缆的有序区分,适用于大型通讯工程场景。


III、Practical Application of Color Coding in FTTH Drop Cables(FTTH皮线中颜色编码的实践应用)


As the core transmission medium for fiber-to-the-home, the standardized application of color coding in FTTH drop cables directly affects the quality of home-entry construction and the later operation and maintenance experience. Combining overseas market needs, SEESUO focuses on the following key points in the application of color coding in FTTH drop cables:

FTTH皮线作为光纤入户的核心传输介质,其颜色编码的规范应用直接影响入户施工质量与后期运维体验。结合海外市场需求,SEESUO在FTTH皮线颜色编码应用中重点关注以下要点:


Core color clarity control: The core of FTTH drop cable adopts high-purity color masterbatch to ensure bright and uniform color, and no fading or blurring in long-term use (such as outdoor exposure, low-temperature environment), which is convenient for construction personnel to quickly identify.

芯线颜色清晰度控制:FTTH皮线芯线采用高纯度色母料,确保颜色鲜艳、均匀,且在长期使用中(如户外暴晒、低温环境)不褪色、不模糊,便于施工人员快速识别。


Adaptation to overseas home-entry scenarios: According to the home-entry construction habits of different countries and regions overseas, the 2-core and 4-core FTTH drop cables provided by SEESUO strictly follow the universal color coding. For example, 2-core drop cables usually use blue + orange combination, and 4-core drop cables use blue, orange, green, brown combination, ensuring matching with local construction standards and reducing construction communication costs.

适配海外入户场景:针对海外不同国家和地区的入户施工习惯,SEESUO提供的2芯、4芯FTTH皮线严格遵循通用颜色编码,例如2芯皮线常用蓝色+橙色组合,4芯皮线采用蓝色、橙色、绿色、棕色组合,确保与当地施工标准匹配,降低施工沟通成本。


Identification auxiliary reinforcement: In addition to core color coding, SEESUO prints clear brand logos, core count information and standard numbers on the outer sheath of FTTH drop cables, forming a double guarantee with color coding to further avoid construction errors.

标识辅助强化:除芯线颜色编码外,SEESUO在FTTH皮线外护套上印有清晰的品牌标识、芯数信息及标准编号,与颜色编码形成双重保障,进一步避免施工错误。


IV、SEESUO's Strict Control over Fiber Optic Color Coding(SEESUO对光纤颜色编码的严格管控)


As an FTTH drop cable manufacturer focusing on the overseas market, SEESUO has always prioritized product standardization and compliance, and established a full-process quality assurance system in fiber optic color coding control:

作为专注海外市场的FTTH皮线制造商,SEESUO始终将产品标准化与合规性放在首位,在光纤颜色编码管控中建立了全流程质量保障体系:


1. Raw material control: Strictly select color masterbatch suppliers that meet international standards, and conduct color deviation testing for each batch of raw materials before warehousing to ensure the color consistency of color masterbatch.

原材料管控:严格筛选符合国际标准的色母料供应商,每批次原材料入库前均进行颜色偏差检测,确保色母料颜色一致性。


2. Production process monitoring: In the production process of FTTH drop cables, online color detection equipment is used to monitor the core color in real time. Once the color deviation is found to exceed the allowable range, the machine is shut down immediately for adjustment to ensure that the color of each core meets the standard requirements.

生产过程监测:在FTTH皮线生产过程中,采用在线颜色检测设备实时监测芯线颜色,一旦发现颜色偏差超出允许范围,立即停机调整,确保每一根芯线的颜色都符合标准要求。


3. Finished product inspection: Before delivery of finished products, quality inspectors conduct sampling inspections on each roll of FTTH drop cables, check indicators such as core color sequence and color clarity, and only deliver the products to customers after passing the inspection, ensuring that the products delivered to customers meet the globally accepted color coding standards.

成品检验:成品出库前,质检人员对每卷FTTH皮线进行抽样检查,核对芯线颜色顺序、颜色清晰度等指标,检验合格后方可出库,确保交付给客户的产品均符合全球通用的颜色编码标准。
