Can I create my own fiber optic color code system?Updated 8 days ago

Answer:  While it is technically possible to create your own color code system, it is highly recommended to follow the TIA-598 industry standards. Adhering to these standards helps prevent confusion and errors, particularly when working with other professionals or integrating with existing systems. The colors of fiber optic strands represent a communication system that only functions if everyone uses the same code.
