The fiber numbering system is the means by which the fused and unfused waveguides are identified.
Original System
Originally the fibers were collected in groups of thirty and given a group identifier with colored straps. Each strap color corresponds to a bundle number, the number to strap color conversion can be found in the first page of this google sheet. Within the bundles each fiber had a relative identifier consisting of two colored rubber bands. The two colors corresponded to a two digit base six number, which allowed for thirty six (six squared) intra-bundle numbers (on thirty were used). The band color to number conversion is as follows:
Purple = 0
Pink = 1
Orange = 2
Yellow = 3
Green = 4
Blue = 5
