Composite cables

These composite cables contain both multimode and singlemode optical fiber with multicolored outer jackets to facilitate identification. The cables are co-extruded using a yellow outer jacket with an orange stripe along the length of the cable to indicate that they contain both singlemode and multimode fibers. They are designed for conformance to IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet and are reverse-compatible with FDDI requirements.
