Which colors are not utilized after the first 24 binders in a fiber optic cable?

In fiber optic cable, colors are used to identify and differentiate the individual fibers within the cable. Typically, the first 24 fibers in a cable are assigned standardized colors to maintain consistency and ease of identification during installation and maintenance.

After the first 24 fibers, if more fibers are present, a different set of colors is utilized for identification. The color pairs used beyond the initial 24 typically start cycling through the existing colors in a way that adheres to established industry standards.

The colors violet and slate are indeed not utilized in the identification of fibers beyond the first 24 in many standard fiber optic cable configurations. Instead, the subsequent fibers would typically revert to the primary color palette established for the earlier fibers, often leading to the absence of these colors in higher numbered fibers.

Understanding color coding is crucial for fiber installation and troubleshooting in order to avoid confusion and mistakes, making it imperative to know which colors are standard and which are omitted in higher counts.
