What color is the fiber cable? Orange is usually Multi-Mode and Yellow
is usually Single-mode. Since it is just feeding one wing of your
school, my guess would be that it is multi-mode fiber.

Ok, so bear with the novice here, how do I tell the difference by
looking at it? I didn't install it so I am not sure the details.

1) Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and
ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2) Anything that's invented between when you're 15 and 35 is new and
exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3) Anything invented after you're 35 is again the natural order of
things
