Color-Code for Your Convenience

Have you spent much time beneath or behind a desk in an office space? If you have, you've probably seen something like a tangle of gray and black cables with some dust or lint besides. With few exceptions, most cables come in standard colors - which is to say, gray or black. They're meant to work and to blend in with the furniture, not to make a statement. But the features that make these cables unobtrusive also work to make them hard to organize. If you can't tell your cables apart from each other, it's very easy to unplug the wrong one and lose power or connectivity, and also essential work that can't be replaced. It's very possibly a mistake you (literally) can't afford to make. How to avoid the loss of time, effort, and valuable data? By color-coding your cables network, of course!

Cables.com offers Custom-Colored Power Cables for color coding PDU electric cords and other power cables in business server rooms and data centers. Our popular C14 to C13 PDU cords are available rated up to 10 or 15 amps. We also have C20 to C19 PDU cables and C20 to C13 cords. To help with troubleshooting and cut down on confusion in the server room (accidental unplugging, etc.), all of these options and more are available in a variety of colors for you to choose from.

What about your network cables? Since fiber optic cables came into use for telecommunications, Internet and entertainment industry applications, some default color coding for the different types of cables became industry standard. Generally, single mode fiber optic cables (both OS1s and OS2s) have yellow cable jackets While multimode OM1 and OM2 cables are orange, OM3s are aqua, OM4s are aqua or violet, and OM5s are lime green.

Knowing these standard colors may be helpful for contractors and installers, but that does little to help the end user, who probably doesn’t need more than one or two types of fiber cabling. This can leave employees and organizations with equipment, switch panels and server rooms full of cables that all look the same, even though many cables plugged into the same panel may function as parts of several different systems or applications.

Cables.com offers you the option of color-coding your system based on your preferences, with no need to keep to the standard-issue jackets you'll find from other sellers. It's your optical fiber connection, on your terms. So if you'd like to purchase an OM4 50/125 LC to SC fiber cable with a green jacket, you can do so! It's the same quality-made 40 GB Datacomm Multimode fiber optic cable typically available in aqua blue, featuring a riser rated jacket with expertly manufactured duplex connectors on either end.
