Data record `std.tia-598-d.structure.unique-identification`

Verified 2026-10-25 Confidence: High

Clause 3 of ANSI/TIA-598-D (2014) requires each fiber to be uniquely identifiable by color, unit, group or position, while noting that where the position of a fiber in a ribbon or slotted-core design already identifies it, the color scheme is preferred rather than required.

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