Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: What is Multimode Fibre?

A: Multimode Fibre is a type of optical fibre that allows
multiple modes of light to propagate. It is commonly used for
short-distance communication.

Q: What are the advantages of using OM3 and OM4 Fibre Optic

Cables?

A: OM3 and OM4 cables offer enhanced bandwidth, support high
data rates, and are optimized for minimal signal loss, providing
reliable performance in networking applications.

Q: How do I choose between OM3 and OM4 Fibre Optic Cables?

A: Choose OM3 for enhanced bandwidth supporting 10Gbps speeds,
and select OM4 for extended bandwidth futureproof networking with
VCSEL optimization for minimal signal loss.

What is Multimode Fibre?
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 over longer 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 is suitable 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 highbandwidth 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.
