blake UK Multimode OM3 Duplex Fibre Optical Cable Owner’s Manual
Multimode (MM)
OM1: With a core diameter of 62.5µm, OM1 fibre typically uses an LED
light source and has an orange jacket. It supports data rates up to 1Gbps over
distances of up to 300m, making it suitable for older, slower networks and
legacy applications.
OM2: OM2 also has a core diameter of 50µm but offers improved bandwidth
over OM1, supporting up to 1Gbps at lengths up to 600m. It’s
better suited for applications requiring higher data rates compared to OM1 and
also typically comes with an orange jacket.
OM3: Designed for laser-optimised multimode fibre (LOMMF), OM3 has a 50µm
core and supports 10Gbps data rates up to 300m. It’s often used in data
centres and enterprise networks for its higher performance overlonger
distances. OM3 fibre have an aqua jacket and are optimised for VCSEL (Vertical
Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) light sources.
OM4: An enhanced version of OM3, OM4 fibre offers a 50µm core and
supports data rates of up to 10Gbps at distances up to 550m and 100Gbps up to
150m. With improved bandwidth and lower attenuation, OM4 issuitable for high-
speed networks and also comes with a violet or an aqua jacket.
OM5: The latest type of multimode fibre, OM5, is designed to support
high- bandwidth applications over longer distances. It has a 50µm core and
extends the capabilities of OM4, supporting higher wavelengths (up to
953nm) and is optimised for short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM),
which allows multiple signals on the same fibre. OM5 fibre typically comes
with a lime green jacket.
