Here's a link showing fiber connector ends. Another link on the page describes fiber optic cable types.
www.cablepress.com/cablexpress/connectors/fiber.html. There are some standards that I've seen on cable colors and connector colors. Once you get down to the fiber-optic jumper with a rubber jacket, multimode is typically orange and single mode is typically yellow. angle polish SC connectors and termination points are green while ultra polish are blue. If you go with 2900 switches with 100BaseFX connections, you'll probably want to go with MT-RJ terminations for simplicity. again, this depends on the type of fiber that was run.
