May 1, 2001 Fiber Instrument Sales introduces colored patch cords, which can help technicians identify ports while referencing labeling on ports or identification charts. Different custom-colored patch cords can identify such functions as forwarding transmissions, return transmission, and patching of certain fiber runs that may continue through to another location. Available in blue, orange, green, brown, slate, white, red, black, yellow, violet, rose, and aqua, the patch cords can be requested on multimode or singlemode cables.
