Introduction • Fiber optic cables are replacing the outdated copper cable ethernet networks in most place. • They not only provide superior data speed but the larger data bandwidth. • Since light signals is the medium, fiber optics are safe from electromagnetic interferences. • Yet, when choosing thePre-Terminated Single Mode & Multimode Fiber Optic Cables, there are multiple factors to consider.
Types of Fiber Optic Cables Single Mode cable • Great for long range data transmission (>40kms) • Prefixed with ‘OS’ • Single beam of light travels without any deviation • Thinner 9-micron core Multimode Cable • Ideal for small to medium network infrastructure (<500mtrs) • Prefixed with ‘OM’ • Multiple light beams travel via the principle of reflection and refraction • Thicker 50-62.5 micron core
Multimode Fiber Classification According to ISO 11801 standard, multimode fiber optic cables can be bifurcated into five grades: • OM1 fiber • OM2 fiber • OM3 fiber • OM4 fiber • OM5 fiber (released recently) These fibers can be differentiated on the basis of core size, data rate, bandwidth, color, distance, and optical source
OM1 Fiber • Covered with an orange jacket. • Has core size of 62.5 micrometers. • Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at lengths up to 33 meters. • Often used for 100 Megabit Ethernet Applications. • Uses LED light source.
OM2 Fiber • Jacket color is orange. • Has core size of 50 micrometers. • Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at lengths up to 82 meters. • Commonly used for 1 Gigabit Ethernet Applications. • Uses LED light source.
OM3 Fiber • Jacket color is aqua. • Has core size of 50 micrometers. • Runs 10 Gigabit Ethernet at lengths up to 300 meters. • Commonly used for 10 Gigabit Ethernet Applications. • Optimized for laser band equipment.
OM4 Fiber • Has the Aqua jacket color. • Has core size of 50 micrometers • Holds 10 Gigabit Ethernet at lengths up to 550 meters. • Supports 40/100 Gigabit • Ethernet at lengths up to 150 meters utilizing an MPO connector. • Specifically developed for VSCEL laser transmission.
OM5 Fiber • It was released in 2014 and is also known as ‘Wideband Multimode Fiber” (WB MMF). • The color of the jacket is lime green. • Have similar characteristics to OM4 • Supports a minimum of four WDM channels at the slightest speed of 28 Gbps per channel through the 850-953 micron window.
Advantages of Multimode Fiber • Multi-user framework • Multi-mode fiber carries multiple signals at the same time in the same line without any interference and alteration. • Support of multiple protocols • Multimode fiber can be used for high-value applications as it can support various data transfer protocols such as Ethernet, Infiniband, and Internet protocols. • Cost-effective • Multimode fiber can work with optical components like fiber connectors and fiber adapters and are easy and cost-efficient to install, operate and maintain.
