Product Performance
High-Bandwidth Design
High-Bandwidth OM3 Optical Fiber is specifically designed for 10Gb/s Ethernet, boasting a bandwidth capacity of up to 2000MHz·km. It can stably support data transmission rates of up to 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) over distances of up to 300 meters. This feature makes OM3 fiber widely used in data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing environments.
Compatibility with Low-Cost VCSELs
OM3 fiber is optimized for lasers and works best with vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) operating at a wavelength of approximately 850nm. These lasers are not only high-speed, highly reliable, and low-power consumption, but also relatively low in cost. This allows OM3 fiber systems to achieve an excellent balance between economy and performance.
Reduced Modal Dispersion
OM3 fiber significantly reduces modal dispersion through improved refractive index profiles and the use of high-quality fiber materials. This enhances the integrity and stability of signal transmission. As a result, OM3 fiber can maintain high-speed data transmission over longer distances without suffering from signal attenuation and interference.
Long-Distance Transmission Capability
OM3 fiber not only supports data transmission rates of up to 10Gbps but also maintains stable transmission performance over distances of up to 300 meters. This feature makes OM3 fiber well-suited for complex scenarios such as data center interconnectivity, enterprise network backbone transmission, and urban campus networks.
Ease of Installation and Maintenance
OM3 fiber is designed for easy installation and suits various infrastructure requirements. Its larger fiber core diameter (50 micrometers) provides a more generous alignment tolerance, making the installation process simpler and faster. Additionally, OM3 fiber boasts excellent durability and low attenuation rates, ensuring long-term stable operation and reducing maintenance costs due to failures.
Backward Compatibility
OM3 fiber is backward compatible with previous multimode fiber cables (such as OM1 or OM2). This means it can be seamlessly integrated into existing network systems without the need for major infrastructure changes.
Application Scenarios
MultiCom® High Bandwidth Multimode fiber om3 Data Center Fiber Optic is widely used in local area networks (LANs), central office areas, data centers, high-performance data storage networks (SANs), etc., providing the highest bandwidth and achieving the lowest integrated system cost.
It is suitable for 10Gb/s network transmission with transmission distances of up to 300m, and is compatible with 50μm data center fiber in traditional networks.
