6 to 144 Strand Multi-Fiber OM4 50/125 Bulk Fiber Spool Laser Optimized Multimode Fiber (LOMMF)

Overview:

6-144 strand multi-fiber OM4 bulk fiber spool featuring 50/125 micron fiber core/cladding diameter is available in multi-fiber strands (6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 144) in a Standard jacket.  Offered in PVC/ Riser (OFNR) or Plenum (OFNP) rated insulation.

Technical Features:

Bulk Multimode OM4 fiber spools are fully tested to deliver high performance and fiber network future-proofing.  OptoSpan OM4 multi-fiber bulk spools are deployed anywhere there is a growing data center or complex network cabling environment.  Multimode OM4 50/125 LOMMF fiber cables are optimized for 40Gb and 100Gb network links.  OM4 fiber is fully backward-compatible with existing OM3 systems and provides added benefits over OM3 fiber.  See OM4 fiber key advantages.  Other OptoSpan Bulk/Bare Fiber Spools include Duplex Bulk Fiber Spools, Plenum Bulk Fiber Spools, Armored Bulk Fiber Spools, Bend Insensitive Fiber Spools, and 1-48km Bare Fiber Spools.

• 1Gb/s minimum reach of 1100m (at 850 nm)
• 3500 MHz/km OFL bandwidth (at 850 nm)
• Ideal value-based cabling solution where custom length fiber or field-proven terminations are desired

OM3/OM4 Comparison:
OM4 fiber cables are fully backward-compatible with existing OM3 systems.  Both OM3 and OM4 fiber cables provide the same performance with 50/125 fiber core; however OM4 operates at higher bandwidth of 4700 MHz compared to OM3 at 2500 MHz bandwidth.  The OM4 fiber internal composition distributes less dispersion and better attenuation, which drives OM4 for longer distances.  Knowing the fiber run length is important in determining which fiber is needed.

* Minimum Distance.   OptoSpan actual fiber distances may significantly surpass the fiber distances stated in table

So why OM4 over OM3?

OM4 fiber cabling is suitable for 40Gb and 100Gb networks and delivers investment protection by proactively future-proofing network cabling infrastructure.  Prior to the introduction of OM4 fiber, 40Gb and 100Gb applications relied on costly single-mode OS2 fiber network solutions.  The new optimized construction of LOMMF OM4 fiber delivers the performance needed to drive minimum distances of 125 meters over 40Gb and 100Gb multimode networks.  Another inherent benefit of OM4 fiber is to compensate for insertion loss of older fiber connectors and cabling elsewhere in the networks which degrade over time.
