OM5 Multimode Duplex Fiber Patch Cable – Custom Length, Connector & Jacket

OM5 Multimode Duplex Fiber Patch Cable – Custom Length, Connector & Jacket

The OM5 Multimode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable from Fiber-Life is engineered for next-generation high-speed data transmission and offers full customization to meet diverse networking requirements. Unlike traditional OM3 and OM4 cables, OM5 wideband multimode fiber (WBMMF) is optimized for 850nm–950nm wavelengths, delivering greater transmission efficiency and flexibility in data center applications. It supports 40G, 100G, and future 400G links over shorter distances, making it ideal for high-density, scalable network architectures.

Customers can freely customize LC/SC/FC/ST connectors, cable length, outer diameter, and jacket material (PVC, LSZH, OFNP, etc.), ensuring complete adaptability for unique deployment environments. With low insertion loss, excellent return loss, and superior bending performance, this OM5 fiber patch cable ensures high performance, minimal signal degradation, and reliable operation even under demanding conditions.

Typical applications include data centers, enterprise networks, cloud computing environments, and high-bandwidth transmission systems, where space-saving, cost-effective, and future-proof multimode connectivity is essential.

Q&A

Q: Is OM5 fiber compatible with 1300nm applications?
A: Yes. OM5 fiber is backward compatible with legacy multimode applications at both 850nm and 1300nm. However, its main advantage lies in the 850–950nm range, where it supports SWDM technology, enabling cost-effective 40G/100G/200G/400G transmission over fewer fibers compared to OM3/OM4.

Q: Is OM5 fiber backward compatible with OM3 and OM4?
A: Yes. OM5 fiber is fully backward compatible with OM4 and OM3 multimode systems. It maintains the same 50/125μm core diameter and supports legacy applications at 850nm and 1300nm, ensuring seamless integration with existing multimode cabling infrastructures. The main difference is that OM5 additionally supports the 850–950nm wideband range for SWDM, enabling higher capacity and longer reach with fewer fibers.
