TO THE DIN / VDE 0888-3 The German standartization institues of DIN & VDE use a set of letter codes for the designation of the cables. For optical cables, the relevant standart is DIN VDE 0888. Variants of designations are used by instutions like Deutche Telekom and German Railways. In the following tables the meaning. This Cable Jacket Selection Note is intended to provide the reader with an organized selection methodology when selecting the optimum optical cable for a specific application. Sheath issues discussed: single jacket versus dual jacket, armored versus unarmored, and metallic versus dielectric. OCC CABLE JACKET MATERIAL REFERENCE GUIDE The table below is provided as a general reference guide for the properties and typical applications for the common jacket materials used in certain OCC fiber optic cable products. Please refer to the Product Specifications sections located in the OCC. Understanding fiber‑optic color codes is essential for any technician tasked with installing, maintaining, or troubleshooting modern fiber networks. By adopting the TIA/EIA‑598C standard, you gain a universal “language” of colors that speeds identification, reduces miswiring, and enhances safety. The cable is designed and tested to meet the applicable requirements of ANSI/ICEA Standard for Fiber Optic Outside Plant Communications Cable, ANSI/ICEA S-87-640-2023 and GR-20-CORE.
