What color is the multi-mode pigtail fiber
Multimode Fiber Optic Pigtails have orange (OM1/OM2) or aquamarine (OM3) outer sheaths, with a wavelength of 850nm and a transmission distance of 500m, suitable for short-distance connections. However, there is some legacy orange cable that was available before the OM1 specification. You can see the colors and if you look closely, you will see the matching colors of the spliced fibers. The standard TIA-598C recommends, for non-military applications, the use of a yellow jacket for single-mode fiber, and orange or aqua for multi-mode fiber, depending on type. ETU-LINK offers a wide range of pigtails to choose from, based on fiber mode (multimode OM1, OM2, OM3, and single-mode OS2), fiber count (single, dual, multiple), and connector polish types (PC, UPC, APC). Pigtails are covered with an outer sheath that protects the tight-buffered cable from damage.
