Data record `std.tia-568-3-e.edition-changes.fiber-designations`

Verified 2026-10-25 Confidence: High

The foreword of ANSI/TIA-568.3-E (2022) records that the edition carries in the OM5 color designation from the TIA-568.3-D-1 addendum, moves the connector and adapter colors of the older single-mode and multimode types into the grandfathered annex, and adds the ISO/IEC category OS1a for alignment with ISO/IEC 11801-1.

Provenance. Where this record comes from and where it is used: the cited source, the record itself and the entry that cites it.
