How will SWDM and OM5 affecting your data center upgrade?

Currently, most of the data center are using OM3 and OM4 Multimode fiber to deploying 10G Ethernet. When we are updating from 40G and 100G, mostly we are using cost-effective QSFP-SR4 and QSFP28-SR4 Multimode transceivers with a multi-fiber interface. In the cabling infrastructure of the data center, abundant of duplex fiber and multi-fiber patch cord, […]

Fact Sheet Multimode Fiber

Which fiber cable to use? Which value to measure? Which length to get? This fact sheet provides practical answers without devoting to the theoretical background. Started fiber optic cable for data installations with OM1, now there is already OM5. Started Ethernet over fiber with 100BaseLX, now there are dozens of different protocols. What does the […]

When should i use OM5 Fiber

The need to sort through these permutations may partially explain the reportedly low number of OM5 deployments so far. Even cabling suppliers with OM5 in their portfolios note that most 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet links are likely to fall within the reach of OM4, making the extended reach of OM5 unnecessary. For these reasons […]
