Bend-insensitive MaxCap OMx
MaxCap-BB-OMx combines two of our industry-leading technologies: MaxCap high bandwidth multimode fibre and BendBright bend-insensitive single-mode optical fibre technology. MaxCap-BB-OM2 / OM2+ / OM3 / OM4 optical fibres support compact cable management. This new class of MaxCap multimode fibre combines the support of improved fibre management, with high bandwidth 10G – 40G – 100G system requirements. Improved flexibility for MACs (Moves, Adds, Changes) applied in Local Area Network (LAN) backbones up to 550m (10GBASE-SX), in Data Centres up to 170m at 40G/100G speeds
OM1
Multimode fibres are intended for all applications where the distances covered are short, such as Local Area Networks (LAN) or all networks with a small reach like campus, buildings or offices. OM1 fibre will support link lengths greater than 400 meters at 850nm and 1000 meters at 1300nm in LAN applications. A multimode fibre also enables connections for backbone, riser and horizontal links. All these networks are characterised as having many points of access to the fibre and the short distances covered.
OM3
Multimode fibres are intended for all applications where the distances covered are short, such as Local Area Networks (LAN) or all networks with a small reach like campus, buildings or offices. OM3 fibre will support link lengths greater than 1000 meters at both 850nm and 1300nm in LAN applications. A multimode fibre also enables connections for backbone, riser and horizontal links. All these networks are characterised as having many points of access to the fibre and the short distances covered
OM4
Graded index multimode fibre suitable for transmission speeds of 10 GbE (550m 10GBASE-SR). It has a 50µm core diameter and a 125µm cladding diameter. The fibre is suitable for use in premises wiring applications and will support GbE link lengths greater than 1000 metres at both 850nm and 1300nm in Local Area Network Applications (LAN). This enhanced OM3/OM4 fibre also supports 40/100 GbE up to 150 metres
