In order to support emerging Shortwave Wavelength Division Multiplexing (SWDM) applications that reduce parallel fiber count by at least a factor of four and allow the continued use of just two fibers (rather than eight) for transmitting 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s and reduced fiber counts for higher speeds, OM5 wideband multimode bend insensitive fiber was optimized for multi-wavelength transmission systems operating in the range of 850-953nm.
While OM5 is fully backward compatible with current OM4 networks and applications, it also fulfills the requirements of draft IEC 60793-2-10 A1a.4 and TIA-492AAAE. In order to guarantee excellent quality, the fiber patch cord is optically tested for insertion loss and complies with RoHS regulations.
