The jacket colours indicate the network.
Orange?... are you sure it's not power, as orange is typically the colour used to identify underground power.
The other two are definitely fibre optic.
Blue identifies Telstra and Green is NBN.
So far we have 3 different coloured cabling go in the ground.
First one last year was orange for new estate. Late last year was coloured blue. And today they are putting through green.
I'm confused why are there different coloured fibre going in and what do they mean?

NBN FTTN cabinets require mains power, so perhaps what you were told was correct... the orange cable could indeed be power for the NBN.

How about some GREEN coaxial cable for variety?
I have that between the LNB and the Modem on my SkyMuster satellite Internet installation.
Colouring like that would immediately identify whose cable it is between locations if its been damaged and needs repairs.
I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!

I have noticed in recent times on those US home renovation shows they are now using a very similar white 2/3 core cable for their general purpose electrical installations as is used here but along with a Yellow cable which I think is for those appliances that use 240 Volt instead of 110V.
