OM3 fiber is a laser-optimized fiber type, which can provide a higher transmission bandwidth in a transmission window of 850nm. In a Gigabit network, OM3 can support a transmission distance of 550 meters, and in a 10 Gigabit Ethernet, OM3 can transmit up to 300 meters. To recap Optical Fiber can be divided into Multimode Fiber (MMF) and Single-Mode optical fiber (SMF). Multimode Fiber (MMF) has a core diameter, typically 50–100 micrometers, has ability to transfer multiple modes of light through the fiber core, uses lower-cost electronics (LED, VCSEL) operates at. Multimode fiber is a common choice to achieve 10 Gbit/s speed over distances required by LAN enterprise and data center applications. With so. The OM3 patch cord is a 10-Gigabit multi-mode patch cord. Selecting the right fiber type is essential for. Comparison of the functions and characteristics of OM1, OM2, OM3 and OM4 fibers: OM1: The core diameter and numerical aperture are large, and have strong light collection ability and anti-bending characteristics; OM2: Core diameter and numerical aperture are relatively small, effectively reduce the.
