Method and system for identifying optical fibers and buffer tubes

摘要

A method and device for coding and locating fibers in a cable is provided. The cable includes a plurality of buffer tubes each containing a plurality of fibers and a jacket circumscribing the buffer tubes. The method includes the step of color coding each fiber of the cable with a layered color coding system. Each fiber has a unique combination of colored layers, so as to be easily distinguishable from the other fibers in the cable.
