FAQs:
What is the key advantage of using OM5 fiber over previous generations?
OM5 fiber is designed to support Shortwave Wavelength Division Multiplexing (SWDM), allowing it to transmit multiple wavelengths over a single fiber pair. This reduces the fiber count needed for high-speed applications like 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s, providing a cost-effective upgrade path while maintaining compatibility with OM3 and OM4 systems.
What connector types and cable lengths are available for this OM5 patch cord?
This OM5 Multimode Wideband patch cord is available with LC, SC, FC, or ST duplex connectors and can be customized in lengths from 0.5 meters up to 50 meters. The cable has a standard diameter of 2.0 mm and comes in various polish types including UPC, PC, and APC.
In what environments and applications can this OM5 patch cord be used?
The OM5 patch cord operates in temperatures from -20°C to 70°C and is suitable for 40/100/400 Gigabit Ethernet, Data Storage, and Legacy LANs. It is RoHS compliant and available with jacket options like PVC, LSZH, or OFNP to meet different environmental and safety standards.
