Under the TIA/EIA-598-C standard, the universal 12-color sequence is: 1-Blue, 2-Orange, 3-Green, 4-Brown, 5-Slate (Gray), 6-White, 7-Red, 8-Black, 9-Yellow, 10-Violet, 11-Rose, and 12-Aqua. This seque...

Inside a multi-fiber cable, each individual fiber is color-coded for identification. The TIA-598 standard defines a 12-color sequence, which repeats for higher fiber counts.
