That is, D/BL is Dash-Blue, meaning blue with a tracer. * Black tracer is visible on black buffer tube. For loose tube hybrid cable constructions, cables containing both singlemode (SM) and multimode (MM), the first tubes in the TIA/EIA 598 color-coded tubes will contain singlemode, and the remaining tubes will contain multimode. For tight buffered single pass hybrid cable constructions (≤ 24 fibers), cables containing both singlemode and multimode, the first buffers in the TIA/EIA 598 color-coded tubes will contain singlemode, and the remaining buffers will contain multimode. For tight buffered subunit hybrid cable constructions (≥ 24 fibers), cables containing both singlemode and multimode, the singlemode subunit tubes will be yellow and numerically marked, 62.5 µ multimode subunit tubes will be orange and numerically marked, and 50 µ multimode subunit tubes will be aqua and numerically marked.
