Fiber identification scheme for high fiber count configurations

Abstract

An optical fiber cable includes a cable jacket defining a cable core, and a plurality of fiber bundles extending longitudinally through the core. Each fiber bundle comprises a plurality of optical fibers and a combination of color schemes, one color scheme that uniquely identifies each individual fiber by a particular base color, and a second color scheme that uniquely identifies each individual bundle based on a common color of one element in the bundle.
