OM1 Multimode Cables

OM1 Multimode Cables are multimode fiber optic connecting cables used to transmit data in multimode fiber optic networks.OM1 represents one of the specification standards for fiber optics, a relatively early type of multimode fiber. This type of fiber is typically used for data transmission over shorter distances, such as local area networks (LANs) and connections within data centers.

OM1 Multimode Cables have the following key features:

1. Fiber Type: OM1 fibers typically have a core diameter of 62.5/125 μm and a cladding diameter of 125 μm, which means that the fiber has a core diameter of 62.5 μm and a cladding diameter of 125 μm.

2. Transmission Distance: OM1 fiber is usually suitable for data transmission over shorter distances, which typically range from a few hundred meters to several thousand meters, depending on the type of light source and transmission rate.

3. Application: OM1 Multimode Cables are typically used to support traditional fiber optic network applications such as Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and some low-speed data transmission applications.

Although OM1 Multimode Cables are still used in some specific application scenarios, some emerging multimode fiber types (e.g., OM3, OM4, and OM5) have replaced OM1 as technology has evolved because of their higher transmission rates and longer transmission distances. Therefore, when choosing fiber optic connecting cables, you should select the appropriate fiber type according to the specific network requirements and application scenarios.
