Ready to Upgrade to
OM5 Fiber ?
-
The world of technology never rests. As demands for increased bandwidth and faster speeds continue to grow, you need the infrastructure to keep up!
-
If you want to take advantage of incredible speeds from the most recent fiber generation to hit the market, OM5 is for you.
OM5 At a Glance
Check out some of the awesome benefits of utilizing OM5 fiber in your network!
Compatibility
OM5 Fiber is backwards compatible with OM3 and OM4, which means that you can upgrade without needing to completely replace older cables.
Distance
Achieve distances of up to 440 meters for 40G networks and up to 150 meters for 100G networks!
Affordability
OM5 cables offer a serious increase in performance without a serious increase in price!
Higher Bandwidth
Get more bandwidth out of a single fiber with OM5. Bandwidth of 28 GHz!
Lower Fiber Loss
Because of the fact that OM5 requires fewer fibers and it can utilize four separate wavelengths, these cables result in lower loss.
Wideband Multimode Fiber
Wide band multimode fiber (WBMMF) extends the ability of conventional OM4 multimode fiber to support multiple wavelengths, supporting traffic from 850 to 950 nm.
OM5 vs OM4
When you purchase OM5 fiber, you are getting all the benefits of OM4, but with the ability to run your cable at increased distances. Check out this comparison table below to see the differences.
OM4 vs OM5 Distance Comparison
| Type | OM4 | OM5 |
|---|---|---|
| 10BbE | 400 m | 400 m |
| 40GbE | 150 m | 150 m |
| 100GbE | 150 m | 150 m |
| 40G SWDM4 | 400 m | 500 m |
| 100G SWDM4 | 100 m | 150 m |
What are the differences in the Optical Modes?
The two major differences in the Optical Modes are the micron core size and transmission.
- OM1 utilizes a 62.5/125-micron core while the rest work with a 50/125-micron core.
- OM1 and OM2 use LED transmitters, while OM3, OM4, and OM5 use laser-optimized multimode transmission.
