Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between OM3 and OM4 fibre?
OM4 offers higher bandwidth and longer reach than OM3, especially for 40Gbps and 100Gbps applications. It has improved performance in VCSEL-based transmission environments.
Can I use this OM4 patch lead in an OM3 environment?
Yes, OM4 is backward-compatible with OM3 systems and can be used interchangeably, though OM4 will provide better performance.
Is this cable suitable for 100Gbps links?
Absolutely. OM4 multimode fibre supports 100Gbps over distances up to 150 metres when using parallel optics or appropriate transceivers.
