OM4 was developed specifically for VSCEL laser transmission and allows 10 Gig/s link distances of up to 550m compared to 300M with OM3. 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. 5/125µm and 50/125µm, which are much larger than the 9/125µm core of. There are five main types of multimode fiber, standardized by ISO/IEC 11801: OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4 and OM5. WideBand OM5 Multimode Fiber is a 50 micron (μm) laser-optimized multimode fiber designed to help meet the demanding requirements of today's 850 nm based networks, as well as next-generation multimode short wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) applications.
